I don’t know about everybody else but I both sell and buy on eBay items that are more niche but not totally bespoke like on Etsy (e.g. photography equipment or specific hats). Which means an eBay store would never make sense for my type of

I actually disagree. Someone who isn’t racist because they grew up in a progressive family just means they were lucky. They often have never been tested under pressure. On the other hand, someone who grew up in a racist family and ends up n

But they complied? Correction is much harder than starting off on the right side.

A lot of tools, community and Anthropic’s, have zero support for Bedrock. Anthropic’s offerings for Bedrock lag behind their main platform by months, maybe up to a year or more.

New tools like LLMs probably make previously unscalable techniques scalable.

You’re not wrong but if people didn’t, all our companies would be using Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server and paying Larry Ellison instead today.

I don’t think it’s intentionality. It’s style. A lot of people regard technical measures as the signal of quality. The most realistic painting, the most expensive purse, the most technical flip on a skateboard, the most well drawn AI art. I

I was under the impression that you delay cognitive decline (and keep brain plasticity) by learning new things. So you need to be learning new skills, trying new sports, entering new circumstances continuously. If you’re good at something a

A transmission error does not have a strictly contained blast radius. A bad packet could tell a flying probe to fire all thrusters on and deplete its fuel in 15 minutes. What makes a transmission error controlled is all the protection mecha

I have access to ChatCPT, Gemini, Claude and you know what I still do 99% of the time? I open Google Search. If I want an LLM, I click “AI Mode.” I only bother to open Gemini or ChatGPT or Claude if it’s a “big research thing” which is almo

An LLM is more like the unconscious part of my brain. It’s my gut. It shits out answers using an ungodly amount of parallel processing and it’s often right. But it also hallucinates thoughts and beliefs too, and that’s where the conscious p

You can do it on Linux but you need to buy a device you attach to your monitor. I have a Spyder X Pro but there are others. It’s like $200 and it’s not worth it unless you do color sensitive work (photo editing, printing or video editing) a

People are freaking out about this test like it’s some judgement of their character or something. I just picked “green” or “blue” without thinking. The biggest problem here is that people have wildly uncalibrated monitors that often have co

One of my eyes sees (very) slightly greener than the other one. But with both eyes I got > Your boundary is at hue 174, just like the population median. You're a true neutral. I should test with one eye.

You can just do a mix. Most of my devices only need 1G or even 100Mbps. No reason to switch to fiber. 1G/2.5G copper ports don’t use that much power. For 10G+ things, it’s fiber or DAC first if possible then RJ45 if it’s the only optio

Google invented the AI architecture that Anthropic and OpenAI based their entire companies on? Based off years of research at Google. Of course they should have to fight with the inventors of the technology they’re using.

There’s 100-300 earthquakes/week in California so MyShake prefers to only warn for the bigger ones.

It’s not a corner case when you have to enforce it. Someone will end up in the middle and then you’ll be responsible for accepting or rejecting it. The bulk is obvious but the debate isn’t for the obvious.

Well all these bugs (iTerm2’s, prompt injection, SQL injection, XSS) are one class of mistake — you sent out-of-band data in the same stream as the in-band data. If we can get that to raise a red flag with people (and agents), people won’t

Google and Boston Dynamics (of Spot, Atlas fame) formed a partnership a while back and they’ve been working on building models together. Hyundai now owns Boston Dynamics and is pushing to get the robots into their factories.

I disagree — photography has always been ripe with significant digital alteration of photos. The main issue is that Adobe has been a long time player in the market and they have historically segmented into 4 distinct types of tools: RAW edi

Old Fry’s had a lot of keyboards. The Fry’s that shut down was a shell of its former shelf. If you’re in LA, Microcenter has mechanical keyboards. They also have a whole rotating robotic wall of 3D filament that works like a physical jukebo

I do not think mural understanding works. It just allows you to merely accept someone, but it doesn’t mean that you want to work with them. What America pushed after the WW2 was the “American world order” which was primarily “if we can trad

Not a US issue. A store near me has mechanical keyboards. Definitely a some-areas-issue.

My pet opinion is that Steve Jobs was an asshole but an asshole that used his own products and used his powers of complaining to steer the whole ship to fix major "this annoys me everyday" bugs. From my experience, "annoying

I used to think this was true in skateboarding but eventually I found exceptions. 4-5 times / week is not a lot on its own. You need like 20-25 hours / week. That’s how many actual hours a lot of us kids were spending, at least sk

This article gets ahead of itself. The issue isn’t the splitting. There is no fiber to even split in most places. A lot of places in America had their “network” infra built 50-100 years ago on copper and no one wants to pay to basically reb

Sure but I think it’s more a deeper structural problem. When in human society have we had access to information at this rate? Yes there are bad people but there were have always and will be bad people (like people selling crock medicines 20
