But that wouldn't have looked like a bash script, only a random sequence of characters. The shebang at the start definitely contributes to the geek factor.

Well at least they're not instructing consumers to run curl | bash. That's better than half the tech howtos out there.

Yeah, that "extreme low pressure" part of the article had me scratching my head. Even a complete vacuum at the top will not suck water up more than 10 meters! The author was probably oversimplifying for a lay audience.

Actually, all matter is just trapped energy.

If most archers start shooting as soon as targets enter the range, and if their individual ranges are clustered around the average, wouldn't that result in a relatively high density of shooting when the distance to a moving group of ta

WhatsApp probably has better security than random KYC-as-a-service vendors who upload all the documents to a publicly accessible bucket.

Vertical integration. Produce the chips, build data centers to run LLMs on the chips, and the robots to deliver the result to end users.

I wouldn't mind being mistaken for a TI-83. That was like a compliment back when I was in school. :)

It's not just about long vs. short passwords. IMO the greatest benefit of having a password manager -- whether it's a bloated Electron app or just a text file on your computer -- is that it enables you to juggle hundreds of differ

Redis works great as a cache, but there are a few things you need to do in order to use it reliably as a cache. 1) Wrap your client library so that it's impossible to store anything without an expiry date. You don't want 6-months-

Sure, if you're going to keep using it long term. But it's a hefty upfront investment for people who just want to experiment. The good thing about $200/month subscriptions is that you can cancel them any time and cut your los

Well, that might be part of the reason why it's your old job and not your current one. :)

Startups are like sports cars nowadays. People think it makes you look cool if you own one. It doesn't matter if it costs a lot of money to maintain. Yachts and sports cars do the same. That's actually like the whole point of it,

Not while the hardware required to run a local model at an acceptable speed costs way more than $200. Guess what, the big players are hoarding all the RAM and GPUs so that other people can't afford decent hardware. It's working ou

Humanoid (or dogoid) robot hardware on its own offers no benefits over non-humanoid factory machines. It just has fancy firmware controlling its motions. Humanoid robots loaded with an AI agent, on the other hand, could actually make you a

How does market segmentation work if you refuse to clarify which chips have the feature and which chips don't?

SEO and accessibility laws have always been the most effective way to convince someone to build clean, well-structured webpages. Guess what, both are measures of how easy it is for a machine to extract content from your pages. AI is just th

Try borrowing my laptop, it has the power button right next to Delete. You never know what exactly is going to be deleted!

Thanks for the idea! Now I'm going to mash the Fn key whenever I feel the urge to strongly emphasize something but can't actually type it out because, well, it would be Fn NSFW.

There are plenty of humans who plan trips by concatenating destinations that appear the most frequently in their instagram feed. Not that different from how an LLM does things. Where humans and (current) LLMs differ the most is their failur

Considering the location, I would imagine that the ancestors prefer to haunt the barrows at night. Still a dream job if that's your thing. Just watch out for the occasional Nazgûl. :)

Yeah, Korea is on one of the earliest time zones among the major markets: UTC+9, the same time zone as Japan, and just behind Australia. So on Mondays we're one of the first to react to anything that happened over the weekend. This rea

The impurities are exactly what give sea salt from various regions their distinctive flavors and mineral profiles. The salt should be edible as long as it wasn't pulled from seriously polluted waters. It might even sell for a premium.

So we still don't have a reliable way to separate instructions from data when talking to an LLM, a problem that humans learned how to solve decades ago in areas like SQL and memory safety. But hey, we have these hopefully-not-leaky con

Even better, just package it up and eat it instead of digging underground and creating more pollution. It's not every day that industrial waste happens to be not only edible but also tasty. Too tasty, in fact. Salt is addictive.

One-time logins actually sound useful for things like setting up utilities for a house. Sign up, log in, do whatever you need to do, log out and the account is immediately locked. Nobody expects you to log back in anytime soon, anyway. If y

Malware on your phone can reroute your calls to the attacker. So you think you're calling the official number at the correct institution, but you're actually talking to the attacker.

True, that's fine. As long as people don't elevate these transient "standards" to the same level as something like basic security and accessibility.
