From the article: “Huge machine - 8 CPUs, 16 GB of memory” That’s barely more than a raspberry pi? (4 vs 8 cores) Huge machines today have 20+ TBs of RAM and hundreds of cores. Even top-end consumer machines can have 512GB of RAM! I do agre

Yeah, modern heat pump dryers are just nice and have cycle times more in line with North American expectations, but you’re right that alternatives have been around a long time!

I love heat pumps, but the author should have had an energy audit done first. Likely a thermal camera on a cold day would quickly identify their envelope issues. > one from the clothes dryer (when I hold an incense stick up to it I can s

JS is inherently single-threaded and mobile cores aren't really getting faster, but we are getting more of them. Allowing you to express more in CSS means you get faster-loading, more highly-performant, less energy-draining web UIs.

Ah, my understanding was that this discussion is about AI as dev-time tool, where the output is code, which gets reviewed : merged / deployed like any other bit of code whether written internally or installed via a library. Using LLMs

I think all of those are great, but don't think that has much to do with AI tbh. How you get to the outcome, and the standards that it meets, should be all that matters

I'm not really sure what problem you're trying to point out here. There are legal standards and liability for engineering, and if someone violates them using an LLM they are held just as liable as they would be had they done the w

MCP has a remote protocol. You don't need to install anything to add an MCP server, or rather, you won't once client support catches up to the spec. It will be a single click in whatever chat interface you use.
