The slowness isn’t only happening in the US, but also here in Germany: - Berlin airport took 14 years to build instead of 5 (finished in 2020) - The new Munich Main Station will probably take 10 years in the end to finish (they spent 2 year

Looks like a cool kind of keyboard. I tried the ergodox, but eventually resold it (came from a typematrix). But I like most my Kinesis Advantage 360. Strangely, I find myself using dictation more and more while working. With a headset on, p

Naive question: is the Mac OS or iOS a microkernel? They seem to support http3 in their network foundation librairies and I’m wondering if it’s userland only or more.

This reminds me of the eye chart used in some countries, because it isn't based on reading letters, but on a direction. For example [0], you should indicate the direction where the E points to. [0]: https://m.media-amazon.co

On Android, is the Gmail app actually a PWA? Saying this as Google tried to push PWA hard, but it doesn’t seem like they do it for their own stuff.

Checklists are the first step to automation, really. Run the list manually, then automated each check point by point. Voilà!

So, using the smallest model for the task would help, as expected. A very small model could run on device to automatically switch and choose the right model based on the request. It would help navigate the difficult naming of each model of

Following this advice, I've seen service where you could say the main function was to produce logs, and the actual response to the user was only a small part of the traffic generated. What we really need is smart logging: only log the

Looks nice. I just wish they’d improve the models behind dictation on both iPhone and Mac to have better accuracy and on the fly multiple language transcription.

I just can’t find dictation apps for Mac using those models except for open whisper. IBM’s granite models seems multilingual and well ranked, but can’t find any app using it. Anybody aware of a dictation app using one of those "better&

The law was made, then reality challenges that. I'm starting to think about legal battles as a way to refine and improve laws/practices. Expensive, though, but necessary.

Censorship is not always direct or obvious. They all hold the bias of their training data, and so from the point of view of this data. Data not including a point of view leads to a bias, or under/over representation of minorities (gend

I'm also surprised by how many developers just don't seem to care much. Yet, the general population isn't behaving like scouts most of the time, so I suppose it's only fair that developers also aren't. "Leave t

They’ve been a bit everywhere for decades I think. Like I think in movies such as The Royal Tenenbaums of Wes Anderson. I think I heard it more or less since childhood.

The problem with LLMs for translation is when they refuse to do so if the topic being translated isn’t following their policies, even if the context shows it’s fine here. It can be as simple as discuss one’s own religion

I wish more projects would include a dockerfile in which a compiler and all dependencies are installed to run the right make command as ‘docker build .’ So you get a working build example, and if you’re lucky and the base image exists for y

The (poop emoji) in the peak RSS delta is fun. I guess a higher value is not great, but that’s unexpected to me. Or perhaps this is an automatic font conversion for some reasons. Improvements are great to see, and seems to be following the

A few years ago, the Arte tv channel created a French/German episode about it that was quite nice. I could only find the French version on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3z7UmTekGqM
