But value is meaningless. The ultimate purpose for a producer in a market is to provide infinite value for no cost. Of course that is a pipe dream, so it should provide the highest value for the lowest cost. For those who want to argue it s

My proof-in-pudding test is still the fact that we haven't seen gigantic mass firings at tech companies, nor a massive acceleration on quality or breadth (not quantity!) of development. Microsoft has been going heavy on AI for 1y+ now.

I've been hit by that bug, although it only deletes mail AFAIK. There's a separate bug that completely corrupts the mail database on compaction, making Thunderbird lock up including for every future launch. Its a beautiful open so

What I don't understand is why the AV1 pool isn't activating their MAD clause. Part of the idea with AV1 was that with the constituents also holding such a massive warchest of patents (plus big tech being richer than god), they wo

Clarification for others: with privacy extensions disabled, SLAAC'd IPv6 addresses are deterministically generated based on MAC addresses. There's also an inbetween (IPv6 are stable per network by hashing).

That is a classical "design by committee" thing. ".home" and ".lan" along with a bunch of other historic tlds are on the reserved list and cannot be registered. Call techy people pathologically lazy but no one

You can set your ULA to something like "fddd:192:168::/48" and then on your vlan you prefix hint, say, "66". Now, any device on that vlan will be addressable by "fddd:192:168:66::$host". For example, your

I wonder if there are low power Intel or AMD boards that accept DDR3. So many sticks of 2 / 4 / 8GB DDR3 inside laptops going into recycling or landfills which would do perfectly fine for low power purposes. Hell, performance for

For a second I hoped you were gonna comment on how LLMs are going to rot out our skillset and our brains. Like some people already complaining they "have to think" when ChatGPT or Claude or Grok is down. Oh well.

This really makes me think of A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. A loose prequel to A Fire Upon The Deep, and IMO actually the superior story. It plays in the far future of humanity. In part of it, one group tries to take control of a h

I'm glad you guys at least went with CloudFlare. LMarena went with Google's ReCaptcha, which is plain evil. It'll often gaslight you and pretend you failed a captcha of identifying something as simple as fire hydrants. Anothe

For all its faults I do still like modern macOS, but it is a far cry from the beauty that was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).

As far as I know, accessibility has been built into macOS since the early days, and with great care. Which then propagated to application built for macOS, and later on, iOS. iOS is rather magnificent for (visually) impaired people. In contr

I mean, why are you even on Windows then? Apple is the accessibility king by far. Both Windows and Android are aeons behind.

We had the same system (Sanquin), they even have donation trucks that make the rounds through areas that don't have a donation clinic nearby. And they do give you a minor blood screening, and you get some good snacks after donating. Bu

Reminds me of what Frank Sobotka says in The Wire: "We used to make shit in this country, build shit here. Now all we do is put our hand in the next guy's pocket."

I have this same feeling with donating blood (in most EU countries you don't get paid for this so it is completely charitable). If you have donated blood, every 2-3 months they will send you an e-mail for a new donation cycle. That&#x2

I mean, this goes way beyond OSes. Look at the mobile YouTube client. The bottom navigation bar has the "+" create button stuffed right in the middle of it, larger than any other button. What % of users creates YouTube content? Pr

It doesn't matter if Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook contribute or pay huge sums. Even Apple Maps is heavily, heavily behind Google Maps simply because very few users are entering Point of Interest info into Apple Maps. New restaurant o

Very few outside of tech call it Meta. Just like no one calls Alphabet "Alphabet", they just say "Google".

This generally just keeps being the "the Emperor has no clothes" moment for all these AI bull companies. Microsoft just replaced their native Windows Copilot application with an Electron one. Highly ironic. Obviously the native ve

Kagi uses Google (and other) indexes. The main usecase for Kagi is the fact that you can personally uprank/downrank/pin/block sites. And it has a bunch of creature comforts built in like: - Attempting to detect AI slop, conca

Still feels weirdly inefficient. Why have every company vibe code their own semi-good bespoke tool when instead one company can handcraft the tool with optimisations much better than AI can ever dream of, and then sell that tool for a reaso

People usually forget 8GB isn't 8GB. Memory compression means you can store ~2x (lz4) to 3x (zstd) as much data in memory as ordinarily. And in the worst case, reading swap from disk (writes don't matter as they can be predicted)

Huh, no? The usual advice is to enable THPs for performance, you only disable them in specific scenarios.

Yup. For me the biggest signifier is Spotify. They claim their (best) devs don't even code anymore, they use an internal AI tool that they just send prompts to which then checks out a personal test build that they can download off of S
