Does anyone know the context? It looks like an email from "AI Village" [1] which says it has a bunch of AI agents "collaborating on projects". So, one just decided to email well-known programmers thanking them for their

I was going to say "a link to the BlueSky post would be better than a screenshot". I thought public BlueSky posts weren't paywalled like other social media has become... But, it looks like this one requires login (maybe becau

If you're interested in the ancient Maya, El Salvador doesn't come close to Guatemala or Mexico (followed by Belize and Honduras). These are also wonderful places to visit, IMHO.

I recently discovered Audacity includes plug-ins for audio separation that work great (e.g. split into vocals track and instruments track). The model it uses also originated at Facebook (demucs).

That would be a big zip file, but would not take a long time to unzip.

I don't think you can separate String from Unicode - that's what a "String" is in Swift.

I think using "extended grapheme clusters" (EGC) (rather than code points or bytes) is a good idea. But, why not let you do "x[:2]" (or "x[0..<2]") for s String with the first two EGCs? (maybe better yet - m

I just saw a tweet saying his birth was closer to the death of Thomas Jefferson (1826) than it is to today. Wow.

Silly. Don't waste your time on problems other people have already solved! Use JS and "npm install odd_or_even".

Almost all these points apply ride hailing with or without driver-less. How do Waymo prices compare to Uber where Waymo exists?

The examples he showed, I didn’t mind. From the title, I thought he might be referring to the emojis in READMEs. Those annoy me and don’t add anything. (I assume all vibe-coded)

Salute to this guy, Xu Qinxian. Funny how (possibly worse) anti-democratic massacres done by US allies (and much more recently) don't get continuous coverage US/Western/Business/Tech press. https://en.wikipedi

"death" can be pretty slow - IBM has $60B in revenue and 270K employees.

I wonder how many other "Pompeii of ___" exist. I also know of the "Pompeii of Central America" (Joya de Cerén in El Salvador).

Just because a phrase appears, doesn't lead to what you said. "UNESCO" appears once, but no where says UN people "are being brought in to administer it".

> Why pay $30/seat/month for over bundled SaaS when soon even nontech ops ppl can vibe-code a custom solution in a weekend? Seems ironic to post that - doesn't that same logic imply that most YC companies are worthless?

Minor point - but I think Grokipedia's design looks much worse than Wikipedia. I can't put my finger on it, but maybe because Grokipedia's main text is too narrow (I'm on a laptop). (I may be biased by loving Wikipedia t

The website could use a comparison / motivation in comparison to Parquet (beyond just stating it's 100x better).

Does anyone benchmark these models for text-to-speech using traditional word-error-rates? It seems audio-input Gemini is a lot cheaper than Google Speech-to-text.

Zeteo News published some searchable archive. It seems this links the original (?) PDFs and provides a Google-based search. https://journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/search?collecti...
