This is a post about beef being recalled. Broadly though, the belief that "current X politician from Y party is the worst, most corrupt politician ever" is a childish belief. I've heard it said about every president and high-

So you think this comment: > Our grandkids just aren't going to believe what it was like Is appropriate for recalling ~30 cows worth of beef? There is no secret point being made, it's just average things happening while certain

I've always felt bad for windriver; they do a lot of good work and there are clear benefits but because linux is free people keep moving away from their products. It's cool to see them doing more RISC-V stuff though

I think that's similarly in line with software; you don't really know the limitations of a library until you use it, and see that it fails for X reason at 10Hz, or 1000Hz.

Since he bought it MAU are up 150 million people, and it seems to be more profitable (although that's not as clear in their most recent filings). Company valuation is down, but I think it's generally agreed he overpaid with the 44

This is a tech form centered around startups, run by a private equity firm (YC). Marc and Jim Clark were and are visionaries, who have not only been financially successful but Jim's thesis which Marc continued was that engineers were u

Except employees aren’t working for free. They’re working for normal salaries, plus stock. What Jim pioneered (and Marc built on) was the idea that founding engineers might end up insanely rich, and because Marc is an investor he can push t

Well they can reduce driver pay and hire additional lawyers; the EU way.

Yes, but the difference also has to do with geography/preference. Brown and Polar bears can and do produce viable offspring, but because they're generally geographically separated we consider them separate species. Same for birds;

I broadly agreed with the authors experience, although I wouldn't say codex does anything "wrong". I think different agents/LLM's have different personalities, and it takes learning to understand how to get them to

The great garbage patch was entirely made up, and it was unfortunate more people didn't call them out on it because it ultimately hurt the reputation of anyone working on ocean cleanup. There are certainly issues with garbage in the oc

There were years where, to my understanding, they were deliberately not accepting features or patches to push Wayland, which is kind of frustrating, because it misses the point of a competitive ecosystem. Like on one hand if they're de

I kind of wonder that too, I'm fine using wayland but it seemed like a huge user hassle for not many benefits (namely independent screen scaling which xlibre now supports). It's a shame xlibre didn't come around sooner, after

I really dislike this sort of fake outrage. They're not pissed, they have a job to do and these cameras help them. I personally dislike flock cameras because I don't like passive surveillance, but we've also elected officials

Sure OpenAI has open source tools, and equivalent or better models, and lower prices, and they get along better with other agentic tools, but Anthropic has much better marketing and I guess that's what matters.

I mean replacing a battery is something you do, at most, once every 5-7 years. If removing the battery requires a heat gun then it's not the worst thing imo.

Because China is a terrifying country with no real notion of human rights. Basically all Chinese companies (including Tencent) work closely with the government and do what they want under threat of arrest. There’s no way I’m uploading my da

This is very cool but there's no way they won't train on your private repos, in a way that github has been pleasantly respectful of. I have issues with github, but the recent uptime issues are more related to people uploading way

I really liked bitbucket, it's my favorite git management system I've used for real production work and it allows for self hosting. Self hosting is also way faster than gitlab from what I remember

I mean, you can't say "this service isn't good enough so I won't pay". The justification is surely the cost of hosting the platform and building it out, in fact if you try and demand higher quality libraries they&#x

Somehow I imagined they meant kamikaze drones, however they're talking about 30 million dollar reaper drones which are mostly used for surveillance being shot down around Iran.

I don't think it's as significant anymore but there was a point where GPT would write 8 paragraphs to say yes, while Grok would literally just say "Yes." They've converged a bit (Grok now says more, GPT says less) b

Yes it does, it just means all the companies come out with similar models around the same time. If what they were doing was completely novel, it would take a long time to repeat. As it is now each company releases a new model every few mont
