Cursor sent me a note yesterday that at my current usage rate I was going to exceed whatever cap was in place at some date in the future. I thought that was very helpful.

In case it's not clear, that 'chirp' is exactly what we would hear if the merger was powerful enough to actually be detectable by our ears. It's the vibration induced in the final moments and the frequency is the speed

I always thought it was about reduced path length. Interesting.

Seems this will be done on the 'nightly' release cadence. Found on page 11 in this doc that I found from the wikipedia page: https://docushare.lsstcorp.org/docushare/dsweb/Get/LSE-163/L...

What's going on directly above with what looks to be 3-4 galaxies interacting?

Whoa that's incredible. (And amazing production of the actual video as well) Pretty sure you can see some kind of masking for satellites in some of the frames of the asteroid videos.

Cross-region backup isn't here to solve for meteor strikes and nuclear war. Most of the major AWS disruptions have been contained within a region. If you're unlucky enough to depend on one, your service is down and you don'

Object segmentation and tracking is such a natural and 'automatic' part of our visual perception that it's difficult to intuit how challenging it is to do with software.

Try it in the stall. Seriously. It's weirdly effective.

Try plugging your ears. For some reason it works like magic for me to get rid of that stage fright.

Agreed. Scheduling is patient discretion anyway. It's the lowest bar possible as far as I can tell.

Nobody is forced to participate in a bug bounty. If you don't like the rewards, don't do it. There's a limit to the financial viability of these programs.

Well the concept is now being studied quite closely. Had someone taken it seriously thirty years ago it's quite possible that the net amount of suffering that millions of patients have endured since then could have been reduced. http

Feels like this could really help with brain-compute interfaces. I have this pet theory that things like this will ultimately lead to a path for us to ‘feel’ our interactions with the digital domain in a way similar to our own thoughts and

I have the same recollection which I think is why it stood out to me the first time I saw it. It's frankly kind of bizarre looking, like it's getting hoisted by a crane.

Very possible but we're out in the middle of absolute nowhere. The ascent in particular looks robotic in its precision, takes maybe 30 seconds. It's really quite cool to see.

It will be interesting to see if and how all of this improves standards around how we document the architecture and concepts of software.
