Of course, but you'd think after 30 years the compute power should be enough to overcome any lack of optimization. It's a testament to the engineering that went into the original Quake engine.

This is an awesome achievement, but I can't help but notice that Quake ran smoother on my Pentium-133 PC in the 90s than it runs on my Mac M1 Pro...

The people who get scammed are the ones that rent sight-unseen. But most people visit the apartment they are going to rent, and the smart ones don't pay any money until they've done so. If you're really paranoid, you verify

Noise pollution has always been a problem, especially in public transit. We finally have a decent solution. I don't think it's much more complicated than that.

My experience is a few decades old but it was pretty simple. Some servers for the text and some for the images. The data is super cacheable, the hot set is really hot (current listings), and storing text and some image pointers is pretty

Craigslist doesn't make any money from those scams because they don't charge for rental listings. It sucks that it's there, but for them to hire staff to deal with it, they'd have to charge for the rental listings. Righ

> Elevator laws make sense It's not the elevator requirement that is the problem, it's that they have to be very big. Can't use the small elevators that fit inside a stairwell for example.

I’ve been doing this for years. It works fine and it’s fun to see who is selling your email. But keep good records!! It gets really awkward when you’re trying to recover an account and can’t remember what custom email you used.

I saw a lot of articles making a big deal about the enrollment dip in CS at Berkeley. All of them came to the conclusion that it was a demand side issue. But this article actually looked at the data and calls out something I haven't s

Stories like this are what make people not want to use Linux. We have a printer, and it just works with our Macs. It's been about 10 years since "printers don't work" has applied in my house. The only hard part is rem

Probably not as telling as you think it is. The security team at any organization is always considered an enemy to product and innovation. It wouldn't be surprising if management made it impossible for them to put in place the monitor

Security 101 when changing the email of an account for any reason: email the old account and let it know the change happened. The weird thing is I know the Instagram security team, and they are top notch. I have a feeling this was vibe co

That test was totally inaccurate for me. It got the download right but upload was only 1/12 of my rated speed and 1/12 of what all the other tests (and my actual experience) tell me.

Fast.com has existed for 15 years yet isn't nearly as popular. It's easy to build a new speed test, but much harder to get people to use it. Downdetector wins because of SEO. Most people don't get there directly, they googl

That's a fair criticism, I certainly didn't run a full benchmark. Just a few of my own pieces of writing. I also did it a few months ago, maybe it's gotten better since.

Have you tried putting known human writing into pangram? I have. I've gotten 100% AI with multiple samples of my own human writing. It has also given me 50% on things I know were 100% AI written (from my prompts). Pangram and everyt
