The funniest part is all the olds (of which I am one) talk for your generation on this topic. Of course anyone who actually interacts with zoomers knows that this “green bubble blue bubble” thing is a media beat up: discord, Snapchat, ins

Oh! I must've really misunderstood your comment, my apologies, I thought you were talking about someone today !

The thing is, it seems they usually do know. And we don’t prosecute and handle that case yet. So the “unknowingly” seems to be the least of our worries.

Yeah, damn. The killer feature for me for my YubiKey is TOTP stored on it + passkeys, but the latter is (as you noted) quite limited. The former is too but I’m yet to hit that limit. Having both is super useful I find

To prove this, software that deals with medical stuff is somewhat more like aviation.

FaceTime is the real lock-in service for me. I use it for all my video and most of my audio calls, it’s second to none in terms of reliability and quality. I wish that was accessible from my work laptop!

As much as I love iPhones, that's simply not true. Hardware fails, no matter who makes it.

Yeah that's a fair point!

In Australia it's iMessage and FB Messenger, mostly. But that's also dependent on where you or your family is from: I came here from NZ, so iMessage/Messenger is normal, but my Indian friends use WhatsApp as a matter of cours

That "missing plural S in PascalCased (or camelCased) names" is something I see semi-often! Congratulations on this amazing work :)

SML is great, but I always suggest OCaml. Still my favourite language that I never get to write these days!

Absolutely they can, though I found anything above 240hz to be indistingushable for myself personally. Though the monitor I'm writing this on is 300hz; it's motion clarity is only bested by OLEDs and the $2000 AUD (twice what I pa

I haven't checked, but I would not be surprised if the engineers I'm talking about have left too at this point. I worked on a homomorphic encryption system for some insurance companies to be able to query each others claim data wi

Funnily enough, this has a fair amount of overlap with the embedded work I do these days: our architecture is thread-per-core (well, adjacent, as the vendor SDK we build on has two other threads internally we can 't get rid of), data l

Though LLMs now have fun examples of giving the wrong answers to the right questions, too. That's a neat evolution!

Sure, but it's where it is and the juxtaposition of it's apparent isolation despite being within NYC that makes it interesting. It's isolation from infrastructure, too, despite being real streets and (some) real houses. Sur

I would argue those loops and interlacings are facets/features. Though I actually agree with your overall point: I don't think complex and multifaceted are inherently synonyms.

Related to this, but I worry that LLMs are going to drag programming into local maxima -- they're trained on the set of languages that exist today, and so the languages of tomorrow will have a much harder challenge gaining traction bec

The one thing the S3 has that others don't is the LX7 micro, and it's vector extensions. This can be used to speed up computer vision tasks if you're using presence detection... but really theres better choices for that haha
