"I should have to wear a mask to bike safely in a city because vehicles emit dangerous emissions and pollution" is the most sane libertarian take I've read this week.

Off-brand toy bricks are a direct threat to LEGO's bottom line, which is in the business of selling toy bricks, and only has its popularity as a moat. Copies of old LEGO games floating around online are effectively just free LEGO adver

Just to add on to this, because I agree with all points you make: the article argues that "people chatting with Claude a lot and asking if it feels conscious [...] is neither good AI research, nor a deep philosophical investigation&quo

I have tried Claude 4.0 for agentic programming tasks, and it really outperforms Claude 3.7 by quite a bit. I don't follow the benchmarks - I find them a bit pointless - but anecdotally, Claude 4.0 can help me in a lot of situations wh

This is hard to pull off in 12 weeks of full-time work for someone who is already a CS grad, absolutely impossible for anyone who doesn't already have that (or equivalent) experience. Building a C compiler alone can take anywhere from

This does not work in a vertically split window inside a tmux session, for example. (Same with split buffers in vim, and so on.)

There have been very articles talking about the various events and exploits of the past two weeks, which, given how unprecedented they are, but also how relevant they are to the tech sector given the persons involved, is surprising. I can&#

The point is that the TPM PIN prevents the attack if the system is powered off when the attacker obtains it . If the TPM doesn't have a PIN, this attack works even if the attacker obtains the system when it's powered off. They ca

I recently bought a big CRT to take up space in my home. Yes, of course, "objectively" speaking, an OLED display is superior. It has much better blacks and just better colors with a much wider gamut in general. But there's ju

This project goes back to the LEGO Island Rebuilder [1] by (some of?) the same authors, which fixes several bugs in the original game release by patching it in memory (iirc). These fixes include some involved ones, like for the wonky framer

Well, Amazon might fail as a company at some point and then all your data will be gone. Theoretically. Much more likely, though, is that you, or some sysadmin at your company, or even some user will accidentally hit the "delete" b

This is not a reasonable reading of this paper, and it also goes against what is already medically known about male hormone levels, which do indeed fluctuate. Men do have a hormone cycle. This paper doesn't dispute that - it merely

Maybe like what the Game Boy would have been if it had had a framebuffer. It's a little bit sad, actually, that WASM-4, like the Pico-8, is a framebuffer console - there's less cool tricks you can do with raster interrupts and the

But even if the attacker knows the 5-tuple (which is a big if), how would they send a package with the correct headers? Pretty much every ISP firewall will just drop your packages if you send them with a source IP that's not yours. Not

No, Hole Punching is a thing precisely because it (the blocking method) works reliably. A NAT router drops all inbound connections by default because it doesn't know where to route them. This reliably protects devices on your network

It helps to read the article... the author was not introducing this as a novel concept, but elaborating on how this is a better mental model for how an interpreter or compiler works. It's not Tokenize -> Parse, it's Tokenize -&
