It's a matter of definition, a flow state is hitting peak performance without attending to the details of your actions, fluidly and without delays, at a task that in any normal situation would be considered complex and difficult. If yo

I disagree that you can reach what I would call a flow state with such a degree of non-participation but I entirely agree that planning first makes execution better, for both humans and agents.

I wonder how much you could have compressed that SVG if you stored the broad strokes and added the perturbations with javascript, after loading.

There can be infrastructure dominance, too. It's difficult to get accurate figures for data center size across FAANG because each considers those figures to be business secrets but even a rough estimate puts the US data centers ahead

The browser version will have some variance because releases are rolled out to clients over time, and users don't restart their browser immediately. I don't know all the signals FingerprintJS use but they obviously depend signifi

Depending on the scale of the run and innovation of the tech, it's not unusual to see a founder digging into test-run QA issues with a multimeter and soldering iron, or perhaps a serial port and software debugger. But more often in Ch

You could, but then it becomes even easier to capture without the adornment, practically defeating the purpose. You may be interested in watermarks that are invisible to the human eye but are visible to spectral analysis. You can even enco

Slight correction, we have many tools that are demonstrably better and more consistent than LLMs for their intended task; LLMs are just the most generally applicable tool (and the fumes are heady).

I'm just speculating but you'd get to use the IP without needing to negotiate overmuch about it, if they're using GCP or can be retrofitted to then you could set prices at a discount but claim a market rate when discussing gr

The company was intact after key employees moved to Alphabet, and importantly there was a service contract to use Windsurf, so apparently Google will be paying Cognition, ultimately, now.

I've seen some of those but all of the ones I've looked at also had a panel of experts who could give it a once-over (or re-work) before sending it back to the client. I'd compare it more to cruise control or driver-assist b

That would be true if the product was the goal. In my experience, marketing > market > product Even with AGI in hand, there will still be competition between offerings based on externalities, inertia, or battle-testedness, or

The above is specifically about book copyright on orphaned works.. AFAIK there is no copyrighting of the contents of a blockchain that they could defend (I'm assuming that's what you're referring to). That copyright would hy

One uses POST and recognizes that REST doesn't have to be so prescriptive. The part of REST to focus on here is that the response from earlier well-formed requests will include all the forms (and possibly scripts) that allow for the cl

It's a power saw, or screw gun, but not a Tunnel Boring Machine. When the task is big enough, it goes a little off the rails. With guidance, and persistence, you can churn out a lot of code with barely more than supervisory effort. I
