There's some private school in the US doing this to reward children for studying (Alpha school I think?), despite it being one of the most unpopular educational policies imaginable — down there with paddling and forced child labor, to

I don't think we'll ever see an EU law specifically mandating disconnection / imprisonment of individuals who disagree with the prevailing narrative. An EU law that puts large fines on social media companies for doing entirel

Yes! There was a great paper at Neurips 2025, where they showed that all "capabilities" that models get via RLVR were in fact already there, if you did pass@k with a sufficiently high k. RLVR makes the models consistently use tric

The agent is usually told why it was making the change (I at least tend to start my prompts with a description of the problem we're solving), so, if prompted correctly, it can lead with "there was a bug, we root-caused it and here

I don't agree with GP at all, but making hacking illegal indeed gives companies a false sense of security. Making burglaries illegal is a real way of preventing many burglaries from happening, because it puts people committing them in

This is why, if you have the agent generate the commit message at all, it has to be the same agent that wrote the code, in the same session . I usually have it lead with a paragraph or two of context on why the change was made (though I of

Users want an app platform that 1) works on every device, 2) is 1-click (no app installation / management, click a link and go), and 3) has advanced capabilities which let them easily do the task at hand. Think "an interactive vis

This is, once again, about diversity and the lack thereof (and I don't mean diversity in a political sense). LLMs seem fundamentally incapable of producing truly diverse outputs, truly creative and different responses to the same promp

This is a radical idea, but we should remove photos from ids entirely . Having the photo there just encourages sloppy ID checks by human eye, and it's much easier to mislead the human eye than it is to forge an NFC chip. If the photo

This is why chip-based IDs are superior, esp. with phones and NFC being ubiquitous. ID chips can't be cloned, so you don't even need photo auth (unless you want to protect against stolen but real IDs).

The problem is much deeper than that. Most OSes' syscall ABIs are not stable and could change without warning. What is stable is the dynamically-loaded libraries, shipped as part of the system. Linux is the notable exception here; the

Maybe this has improved since I last used it, but I was dismayed at not being able to do something like: litellm.register("foo", CustomAIProvider) litellm.do_whatever("foo/my-cool-model", "what is 2+2

I think the "original experience", whatever it may have been (and I strongly suspect there's more nostalgia here than actual worse results) would be very quickly overrun by modern SEO methods / tactics. Kagi can be &quot

A browser isn't drawing its content using OS frameworks, so A11Y is a major undertaking. Much more so because A11Y for web content specifically is a bit of a different beast than native widgets, and the amount of stuff you have on the

And Chrome doesn't even need to support millions (billions) of users on a single, coherent "system". There's no scaling, it's just people running it on their computers and phones. I suspect the vast majority of Shop

I think Openrouter is great for quick testing, getting a "feel" for the model, or very quick integration jobs where you want to try out as many models as possible. For truly production use cases, use Novita, Fireworks, Toghether o

I think self-hosting Chinese models is so popular precisely because China is so authoritarian . If China wants to sell Solar panels to Americans, they can just sell solar panels, the sun won't mind. If China wants to sell models to Am

This is why you have a relay in the middle. Then, Chase knows you've verified your ID somewhere, the relay knows that some Chase user verified themselves at Pornhub, and Pornhub knows that the user is over 18, without knowing their ide

This makes me wonder why we aren't using pre-shared keys as one extra layer of defense. The idea would be to use an existing connection (established via normal TLS) to agree upon and exchange a pre-shared key. For subsequent connection

It's (mostly) a US thing; basically subsidizing TV prices with ad revenue. It's how the entry-level companies like Vizio operate, though the "big brand" TV makers are certainly just as guilty here. It's much less of

Exactly this. In both US and EU, chargebacks are a general consumer protection tool, implemented by card networks to make you less afraid of using them with potentially-untrustworthy merchants, even when not legally required. They can be us

No. Music is basically sold like that (Itunes does it for example), and very very few people use it. There are probably some, but I don't personally know any — and I know plenty of music lovers with huge collections. Normies want to ha
