My point is more this was posted without context. I may be interested to read a blog post about the trials and tribulations the creator had, I'm sure there was something interesting going on getting LLMs writing Z80 assembly and testin

I want to hear about the great time they had. That would be interesting. Instead I hear about the great time Claude had being prompted to do it. edit: noticed the person who posted this here is not the same as the author. the author appears

The reason it isn't obvious is because the tool is marketed as replacing the artists, and that's how people are using it. Also what the author of this post did could easily be added to the training/harness/skills of Chat

I thought the cable leaks showed that Norway picked the F35 due to diplomatic pressure from the US rather than an impartial test of suitability?

Ironically in macOS 27 I've had a bunch of issues with Safari extensions. 50% of the time they don't load on their whitelisted domains. Click on their toolbar icon and they pop in.

The video covers how CP/Ms big problem was that the disk formats weren't the same between machines, doubly true for this Sony which used new 3.5" disks. So all the existing CP/M software had to be specifically re-release

I remember when you paid your ISP for internet access and in that cost they also provided you with an e-mail address, they ran a Usenet server for their customers, and gave you space for web hosting. Now all of that is expected to be paid f

Your analogy does not work since they can still show ads to logged-out users, nobody is getting anything for free. Meta even creates shadow-profiles of users without accounts to track them across the internet. It's all about getting pe

For me it's gotten way better in iOS/macOS 27. It's also way faster. They claim to have rewritten the spotlight index to handle the new Siri integration.

Checking the wayback machine, this URL seems to have only shown up a couple months ago with the very latest devices, and has slowly been backfilled with older devices since then. Wonder if it's due to the EU repairability regulations.

You can find these stories in the mechanics subreddits, typically it's some Toyota came into the shop dying at around 60k miles with the factory oil turned to sludge.

HEIC has a very messy patent situation around it which limits what tools work with it. E.g. for official Windows support by Microsoft you need to buy the codec from the Microsoft App Store for $0.99

Interestingly, that link is the first time I've ever gotten a Cloudflare HTTP 451. Apparently that site is banned in Japan for "gambling".

You don't need autoscaling for a basic blog to handle the traffic of Hacker News. People have had "this page is hosted on <vintage computer>" sites hit the front page that have stayed up.

I watched a bit of someone's play through and was impressed by how much content there actually was for a one-off bit like this. I would have assumed they would have just made enough content to make for a funny ad but there's quite

If the consumers of AI aren't paying the marginal costs for the energy they're using, it's a market distortion and we won't have working market discovery of the actual cost performance of the AI. "Wow tokens are so

That's how it is here in Japan by law - zero tolerance, even one drink is too many. One solution is "daikou" taxis - they drive you home in your own car, with a chase car to bring the driver back. Where I live they're su

One of the main reasons I went heat pump electric in my house (I could have paid less and stayed with tankless LP gas hot water) is I'm just not that comfortable with gas, especially living in an earthquake-prone country. Even if there
