The description of how the transition to flight actually works was a little fuzzy - any video/animation out there? Edit: https://youtu.be/4QaTwebs5nY - makes the mechanism much more clear.

The danger is less with automation and more with the speed of automation. It's hard to retrain. When the change happens between generations there's a natural progression with parent: stable hand, child: mechanic. When it happens

The approach to edge-ifying SQLite taken in [1] looks quite promising - using FoundationDb as the storage handles a lot of hairiness. 1: https://github.com/losfair/mvsqlite

Ironically the PHP blog site may have gotten a lot more engineering TLC than the bank’s IT system. Not necessarily more hours or $$ spent on it, but more care .

Tangentially related: I wonder what will happen in SF/NYC when more of the office leases have expired and the corporate property tax base erodes? How will the cities fund themselves? Presumably by hiking residential tax rates and conve

Interesting that “del” helps here - could eg torch.jit.script/trace be more of a “sledgehammer” solution?

Shameless plug: https://recompressor.com/ Gives you a kb-vs-quality tradeoff graph. A little over the top perhaps, but when you just need to do a couple of quick images… ;)

The model was trained on 2.3B images, but how many TV shows are there to train it on? There are quite a few books written, so maybe transfer learning from that?

Not the person you asked, but both seem like they should be cause for concern…

Neat device! How do you actually type on it? Chords? Separate layout shifting control? Other??

Has there been any resolution to the issues raised in https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1560070819518234624.html ? My reading of the concerns is that USDC has effective fork veto, and that with PoS the chain would be

I read something slightly different into your metaphor: it's about pro-social, positive sum games vs zero/negative sum games. The mouse is participating in the positive sum game of joint savings, and the cat is robbing it blind (v

Would a PointerScope pattern work well here? Functions that need to return dynamically sized things take a *PointerScope parameter, which is a struct with two function pointers: malloc() and close(). The api function uses the provided mallo

You need one that can handle higher than room temperature for it to be able to carry meaningful amounts of current at room temperature. See the link provided in parent for why this is.

Neat site! Random suggestion: how about taking a text source and turning it into an expandable, nested bullet list? So it would take the long text, bulletize the main points, and then you can tap to expand any of them to see the details, re
