Now that Chromium supports the File System Access API on desktop and mobile, I am building every software I need as HTML+JS+CSS. Before that, handling files in the browser was cumbersome. You had to offer download and upload links for users

Good TTS feels like it is something that should be natively built into every consumer device. So the user can decide if they want to read or listen to the text at hand. I'm surprised that phone manufacturers do not include good TTS mod

I'm confused about the rationale behind: |> fn($x) => array_column($x, 'tags') Why is that inlined function necessary? Why not just |> array_column(..., 'tags') ? I mean, I understand that

I did not make any prediction. I made a calculation. About the market cap of MS if it grows into the AI era as fast as it grew into the Desktop era. You seem to assume that the global wealth is static. If that is the case, how were those $5

GDP is not static. In the 80s, when Microsoft went public, the US GDP was under 5 Trillion.

It happens. Life started with self-replicating molecules. And ramped up all the way to structures like the human body which consists not just of quintillions of molecules but of billions of quintillions of molecules.

Because, as can be seen in the chart, during the desktop era, Microsoft grew at 60% per year. Growing at 60% per year for ten years is a factor of slightly over 100.

If Nadella grows Microsoft into the AI era as fast as Gates did in the Desktop era, it would become a 100 trillion dollar company within the next ten years: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/marek-gibney_microsofts-story..

I just added it to Gnod Search for easy comparison with the other public LLMs out there: https://www.gnod.com/search/ai Interesting that they claim it outperforms O3, Grok-4 and Gemini-2.5-Pro for coding. I will test t

Will this enable plain Debian on tablets like the the Microsoft Surface? That would be awesome!

Douglas Hofstadter was my favorite author during my childhood and early youth. I’ve read every book he wrote from cover to cover. He had a significant influence on my perspective on thinking, consciousness and AI. I am more than surprised t

The biggest change I anticipate is larger cities. When I ask people what they would like to change about their life, pretty much everyone mentions that their apartment is too small and too expensive. Because everyone wants to live right in

I really don't know what to think of HDR. I have yet to get any benefit out of it. I disable it everywhere I can. In Instagram for example. When it is turned on (the default) every now and then I get some crazy glaring image in my feed

There is one showstopper, why I can't recommend Firefox to friends: Mozilla's refusal to support the File System Access API. With the File System Access API, we can finally build local first web applications. I already wrote my

One reason is that humans have a strong tendency to optimize for the short term. I witness it with my developer friends. Most of them try for 5 minutes to get AI to code something that takes them an hour. Then they are annoyed that the resu

You can think of them as the complex equivalents to normal integers. Complex numbers have two components. If both are integers, the complex number is a Gaussian integer.

I'm not sure if every fractal can be expressed as an iterative formula f(z,c). In 2012 I found a fractal by using a fundamentally different approach. It arises when you colorize the complex plane by giving each pixel a grey value that

You are right. I always wish for more specifics too when we talk about code here. The library was https://mediabunny.dev/ Before I used my own proprietary code for media encoding/decoding. I also tested a WASM port of

How hard would it be to power all data centers via solar panels attached to batteries? The area of solar panels needed to power data centers is .. maybe 100x the area of the data center? Only a tiny percentage of the USA is covered by data

Over time, will humans turn all of planet Earth into an active system? If so, the total addressable market of Nvidia might be pretty big. Let's take the human body as a point of reference. The weight of the human brain makes up about 2

I wonder how the math turns out when we compare the energy use of local vs remote models from first principles. A server needs energy to build it, house, power and maintain it. It is optimized for throughoutput and can be used 100% of the t

The way I often visualize the solar system is: If the sun would be the size of a coin, then earth would be around 2m away from it and so small you could barely see it.
