Not a lot, over 100 it's a different game. At 50 it start showing signs of stress as people that knew everything no longer do so. High performers suffer and start feeling left out, because they lose some autonomy. It particularly impac

Apple care is about user fuckups, not Apple's. Some people use computers with utter disregard for their integrity. Macs, specially Apple silicon ones are extremely reliable.

Imprecision in manufacturing (adjust resistor values), different trace lengths (speed of light differences for parallel signals), etc... it's in the article.

Well, on one hand they lack new data. Lot's of new code came out of an LLM, so it feeds back. On the other hand, LLMs tend to go for an average by their nature (if you squint enough). What's more common in their training data, it&

I would guess that it's because the second L in LLM is for Language, not Visual. In any case, being technical myself I actually like that LLMs give me command line commands. Those are unambiguous, composable and much easier to check wh

It's like Ctrl + ] on telnet. The good old times!

It can be done mechanically, it's essentially what a compiler does. But yeah, it can be a useful technique, specially when there's tail recursion and the explicit stack just vanishes and the recursion turns into a plain old loop w

Couldn't this deadlock if two threads lazily import modules with cross dependencies?

I don't understand what this is about. What's a wasteland? What's a gas town? Is this Ethereum related? Help?

I don't get why PWM wouldn't work? Would the harmonics make the tuner ignore the signal? Because the speaker is still slow, so if it got to it, there should be audio, but maybe the circuit filters out the PWM signal outright?

Spina bifida is usually preventable by folic acid intake (and avoiding some medications). It pains me to see it is still so prevalent.

In principle most if not all inference hardware should be usable for training. Efficiency is the question.

iPhones are basically effort free, it takes a while, but 99% of it is transferred without a hitch, some poorly written apps may need an extra step.

This also degrades light output off angle. If you're showing someone a picture, you lose up to 50% of light output.

It's a gimmick, it reduces overall brightness when off-angle. I much rather have a tandem oled screen.

They lost me at "use tablets", that's plain bullshit. Tablets are probably the worst waste of detergent. A cheap crappy store bought powder well used beats tablets. Lookup the Technology Connections deep dive on dishwashers.

It was meant tongue in cheek, if we're doing wild comparisons, I might as well do one.

An AI model takes about 100 to 150 MW to be trained. A human at rest used ~100Wh, up to 400Wh for an elite athlete under effort. So 20 years at 200Wh (I'm being generous here) ends up being 35MW, still cheaper, and inference is still a

I never got why compilers don't have pluggable syntaxes. I mean, once you decide the "flavor" (e.g.: typed, imperative, with a dash of functional and some oop for good measure), you could have more than one syntax and easily

The sensing part is really really hard. Hands, mechanically are fairly simple to mimic, touch? the way skin feels micron-level shifts and subtle temperature changes is plain tough.

A screenshot would be a nice addition to the readme. It seems is only pure text (no support for image extensions of a terminal, just a link to the image), based on this: https://github.com/taf2/mdvi/blob/maste

It was probably easier to just implement it that way, given that the barrel shifter is 64 bits wide.
