> Won't that work much better and scale easily? Doing computation that can happen at end points at the end points is massively more scaleable. Even better, its done by compute you usually aren't paying for if you're the co

Net can be done with reasoning rather than mindless iteration. You start by locking in end points surrounded by other end points except for one free space. if you have a straight line that can connect two end points then you lock it in the

Ancillary Justice is told from the point of view of a character of a culture that doesn't draw the distinction in language. It is occasionally remarked on, but generally from the point of view of the main character being always a bit

Yes, I worry that we're in for an age of stagnation, where people are hesitant to adopt radically new languages or libraries or frameworks because the models will all be bad at them, and that disadvantage will swamp any benefit you mig

But that's the exact reason why it's problematic in contexts where the exact character is important in a way not clear from context. Atkinson Hyperlegible is my favourite for reading passwords or urls with codes in them etc.

I think probably the distinction we're making here is just one of scale and acceptance. I don't see your distinctions as fundamental: 1. If 9 of the ten friends consent and one doesn't they can still be forced to follow the r

I've been carrying around a local wikipedia dump on my phone or pda for quite a bit more than 10 years now (including with pictures for the last 5 years). Before kiwix and zim, I used tomeraider and aard. I do it both for disaster pre

I think commercially there'll be a really strong pull for dev tools to resell access to frontier models. It's hard to make money out of dev tools, but if you tie in a service people are prepared to pay hundreds of dollars a month

The big question for me at the moment is whether to go pay-for-tool or pay-for-model. If I pay for a tool that includes access to frontier models, then they'll keep the models up to date over time for me, let me use models from multipl

It's a bit surprising to find so little in these comments and the original review talking about the youth first laptop use-case. Lots of schools require a touch screen, and kids are going to break parts even on a fairly rugged laptop.

All of the things you mentioned were available in phones before the first iPhone (assuming by ipod you mean mp3 player). In fact from a software point of view it was lacking a bunch of functionality and software ecosystem some competitors h

Normal HTML elements don't exclusively use HTML attributes either. Surely you've used button.onclick or element.classList or element.innerHTML?
