I don't immediately see a picture of the actual chip to get a reference size bybitself, that that chip inside the tooth is pretty wild. I wonder how you would even begin to power electronics within such a space. Or perhaps this is more

Isn't this sort of an inconsequential point? The commit still has one and only one author and that's almost certainly what I'm looking for so I know who to go ask questions about their code. I also use it to find the commit b

While the reason you suggest might be a good one, the repercussions of this change are clearly large. Unknowing customers now have their voice recordings sent to the cloud whoch could be leaked, have law enforcement get a warrant to take it

HI personally worked on it while I was at Pivotal Labs (RIP). I loved that the point was to get in, add some stories, aka "bookmarks for conversations", have it opinionatedly setup your sprint by averaging the last few sprints wor

I know some of the lithium-sodium batteries behave differently now but my Model Y yells at me whenever I charge above 80% or go below 20%, saying it's bad for the battery. Not exactly inspiring if it causes more wear unless you sacrifi

IIRC it has to do with tiling the globe. You can't correctly tild a sphere with swuares. On a local level, it seems easier to reason about squares on a flat surface, but the Earth is round and Uber is international.

Providing public APIs to such information sounds great and I think it should be done but is also probably realistically expensive and peone to security problems. The government seems to have a very difficult time in general running all sort

Anything probabilistic? There are so many interesting fields where you can assume the distribution of a dataset and the take a sample of data and assert things about it with a high degree of confidence. All of modern AI is built on so much

There are no Clojure stacktraces specifically, only JVM/Java ones. Clojure sits closely beside its host so there is no difference. People do complain about stacktraces and they've made some improvements. But they are long because

You are being snarky but I'll take immutability over types and interoperability and access to a vast and stable ecosystem over the simple and extremely limited and underperforming alternatives. Thanks for the segway. I also cannot unde

If you see a red car driving down the street do you not call it red because there are many other red cars? They're adding color (pun intended) to their description of the general bias of the UK government. What you're doing is cal

I think there is an implicit assumption that the top 40 apps is reflective of what all app developers should be doing. The top 40 apps are probably also all made my mega corps with enormous budgets and desires to be multi-platform right out

I totally understand the desire to avoid politics on all these platforms but in some way I always expect the greater powers want to destroy these platforms and make us even more hopeless.

There is a belief that we've peaked in terms of bigger model = better results. I think it was GPT 4 is actually smaller in parameter count and better than 3.5 for instance. There is also a finite amount of useful data that people think

The stock price had assumptions baked in about the number of units expected to be sold. DeepSeek cut that hardware estimate by as much as 45x. That is that absolute obvious correlation between that model being very efficient to train and NV

I really like "jump" which I have aliased to "j". It auto learns and you can also pin shortcut names so I don't have to fuss configuring it but also can control certain ones. Great trade off between usability and co

There isn't an end to that, what is "all the data"? Someone will always want to record more data, and then sell it to someone. How do you force people to always reveal all the data they have. I think if you start peeling back

That would be such a killer feature. And it could find other friends in the area and that are also free. Not like Meta doesn't have some kind of model for all that data already probably.

It's one thing to reduce dependency and another to have reduced consistency. If you have 10 web routes and 1 behaves differently, it doesn't matter if the code is cross coupled or not, it matters if it behaves similarly. Does it r

It only supports up to 800x600 resolution? For real? I know people like low res games and this is targeting old hardware but that is surprisingly low to me given the touting of how optimized this is.
