Note that Teams was using Electron but a preview no longer bundles a browser and massively reduces RAM usage. Still only for Windows though.

This is basically what put me off when trying to use GPT-3.5 for this with SQL LangChain. And you can’t go cheaper LLM from OpenAI because then accuracy plummeted. GPT-3.5 is the sweet spot. Sure, some use cases might work but it’s not goin

You might be right but then why did I get in just fine the second time I opened Discord after these hoops? I clicked on the same button both times. That was about as surprising for me, that I was just suddenly logged in and fine again. On m

Yes it's striking how much smaller user base Mastodon has yet better engagement than Twitter.

LOL this reminds me of a hilarious bug (but only in hindsight!) I had with Discord just three days ago! I tried to login to Discord. It detected a novel browser or location. Sure, this stuff can happen. It wanted to confirm that I was still

MS care less and less for this and probably already internally writing off MAUI as a fools errand. New Teams is a React web app. New Outlook? Yeah, web. Gadgets in Windows 11? Web too. New Windows Copilot (Cortana successor)? Web… Just look

Sounds like they know something transpired systemically that we don’t, hence this new guideline out of the blue. Somehow I doubt sudden uncalled for acts of benevolence from the NSA.

I just realized how much I'd like to see a website summarizing legislation for various countries in the world, and venues into purchasing land for the respective locations. I want a hometurf.eco :)

> If I do want to do concurrent work there is the usual async/await mechanisms, implemented in the Task module. Not as weird as in JS. They just return a Task reference which is a helpful abstraction on top of the Process ID or PID.

There has actually been research that found that there are strong diminishing returns in terms of at least expanding parameter sizes. While I think there are still breakthroughs to be made in terms of window sizes and workarounds like Mixtu

So it's like how you inevitably tend to end up with tangled headphone cords even if you swear you never tangle them yourself and they're just "lying" there? The reason behind it is also a simple matter of probability. It

Yeah, honestly this whole comment thread is a testament of how quickly generative AI has moved the past year. Even in a hacker community like this where we ought to be close in terms of realizing where current tech stands, we're on dif

This is pretty insane! I mentally run the universe backwards in time to relate to current very early JWST discoveries and it's so easy to think "similar to now but earlier in terms of star evolution etc", but this hammers in

I have such nice memories with Kate and our computer science courses back in 1998-2001 as we studied fun things like that new Java language that was taking the world by storm. There were rumors that Microsoft was working on a Java competito

Also noticed the "scalloped growth" curve from Mastodon in general. For each exodus event there's an influx of activity that dies down but not to former levels and each time it happens, retention seems slightly better (less s

Yeah something interesting about this one was that the competing AVIF has been notoriously absent from Edge despite being Chromium based. I finally discovered why from a Microsoft dev commenting on the topic on Mastodon. They have apparentl

It’s pretty fascinating (and scary) to think of the disparity between the brightest among us that are in turn building on the shoulders of giants versus groups of people like outcasts that gather up for the most stupid reasons. No wonder we

Most importantly for me is that nothing on HTTP protocol stops you from designing basic websites. A protocol is about the transport, not the content. This is the main fallacy about Gemini to me. So, nothing requires you to first jump onto a

Title is not what the article is about, but the article reads sensible enough to me and agrees with what I’ve heard about hedging against risks. And to be frank, the response from the expert shouldn’t be as hugely surprising to the author a

Yeah, that’s exactly it! Unfortunately the different skill sets required here are so different. You part need deep understanding of the low level inner workings, and part need great attention to detail in user interface design. It would pro

Would be cool to “do it right” and have a proper window manager for Linux like this rather than “just” a skin (I really don’t want to diminish the ton of work sunk into this). So you get the last details about windowing behavior and animati

This is expected as the insane growth and usage as it was released in tandem with Typical Crazy Elon Moves was clearly unsustainable for years, much less even a few months. As for success, ask me again in 2024.

I think it's a bit overdone for a solid first impression but maybe a bit too much in the long run? Maybe if it could be toned down a bit for just a slight glow and amber warmth, haha.
