The absolute number who merged without reviewing was only 24% so maybe there is still hope!

I understand using geothermal as a heat battery where the in/out is balanced over time (like seasonal heat storage) but I'm skeptical we understand enough about the structure under the earth to keep pure extraction working over ti

The food scans demo ("Interactivity" examples section) is incredible. Especially Mel's Steak Sandwich looking into the holes in the bread. The performance seems amazingly good for the apparent level of detail, even on my inte

Advertising will need to shift. But there will be a lot of resistance to making ChatGPT a shill for products. They won’t risk it now when trust is still shaky with all the hallucinations. I agree non-AI search will go away and it will be a

Windows Server 2000 was great though! Or maybe that’s what you’re saying. I’m fine with all kinds of UX flash as long as it can be disabled; especially animation.

What an interesting site and unusual article. I can’t tell if it’s a joke. Everything seems true but not huge advantages except maybe the size one.

A “hard but not impossible to forge” physical ID seems like an anachronism. Even the new “real id” don’t have RFID chips with crypto. Digital seems both more secure and more convenient; I don’t understand this position.

"by compiling OpenCascade (OCCT) to WebAssembly" I wondered what geometry kernel it was going to use! Interesting to me how few of these there are. Some of the solid modeling stuff is nearly 40 years old (parasolid) this must be h

Yes, and LLM chat is very light on bandwidth compared to other uses of the internet. Maybe it could even work over the text message protocol.

Always amazes me when the cost of computing the optimized draw regions as shown in the slides is worth the savings even on CPU.

Even if it isn't as capable, having a model with control over training is probably strategically important for every major region of the world. But it could only fall so far behind before it effectively doesn't work in the eyes of

"The Meta Pixel script sends the _fbp cookie to the native Instagram or Facebook app via WebRTC (STUN) SDP Munging." Crazy to deploy a hack like this at the scale of Meta.

Seeing the sphere is what finally might bring me to Vegas :P. Always interesting to see how far apart the LED units are on the outside and how smooth it looks blended together. I wonder what a desktop-scale sphere would look like and if it

Incredible that it's a client OS! I think this kind of design can have immediate use server-side because it eliminates quite a bit of security boundary by making the kernel much smaller and eliminating all other libraries and applicati

Starlink lets me text remotely now (T-Mobile beta). OP's problem will disappear in a few years if that or similar constellations can be maintained. For better or for worse.

Go is great for command-line tools because of library support and fast-starting single-binaries. While most of the benefits in the article are also shared with JavaScript, I wonder if the CLI advantage will help and whether command-line age

Is there an archive anywhere? People can argue to no end based on some whimsical assumptions of what the blog was and why it was taken down, but it really comes down to the content. I have found even o3 cannot write high-quality articles on

But who is advocating against this reform? Lobbying against stupidity should be generally acceptable.

There's a lot of precedence for excluding "generated" code from review and linting but it's a bit weird when that is a large portion of the application and you can't rely on the correctness (non-LLM generated code i

It helps to enjoy all the things kids enjoy - reading silly books, legos, going to the beach, walking, sports, trampoline parks, water guns, nerf, kids movies, school, frisbee, crafts, etc. Kids are an excellent excuse to do more of these t

My heart still wants to believe that if you build a great product the users will appear like the old pre-scientific "spontaneous generation" philosophy around how mice appear. But it definitely doesn't work like that. In some

Even the 1Password extension which I absolutely rely on injects huge JS into every site; screws up lighthouse scores and leaves me ill-at-ease. Extensions are an incredible attack vector.

Maybe even today an LLM is better than hearing about what the bill contains from social media reposts. The more the actual text is accessible the better (and accessible is not just technically accessible, but also understandable to the read

Paste the entire thing into the LLM! Maybe people can stop relying on unreliable partisan sources to interpret bills if they have tools to grok the dense weird language in them themselves. I say this even though I was embarrassed yesterday
