It's because of the local model use case. Running AI locally on the phone is a feature (they brag about the processor), but it's constrained by memory and bandwidth.

The models are pretty useful, especially when it comes to asking things you may not want to go over a network.

The things we need to know most, RAM and Memory Bandwidth, are unfortunately missing from the release. Their absence doesn't bode well.

The joy being gone is the big painful one for me. Talking to colleagues and friends who like slopifying everything, they seem to love it. It's a divide between us and them; they never really liked programming in the first place and o

At my $work, people do this frequently, but instead of it just being insensitive, they have their personal Slackbot responding on their behalf. After I realized I wasn't even talking to a person, I've stopped opening their DMs.

Whenever I see Substack or Medium URLs, I avoid clicking them. They are so spammy with their call to subscribe, that it's not even worth me visiting them. People recognize quality, and they don't need to be pressured to subscrib

Saltwater comes in the air. Just being near it corrodes everything. Both stainless steel and bronze are very expensive. Even if things were made of corrosion proof materials, not everything can be, for strength reasons.

Picking a random orientation depends on trigonometric functions. In order for this to calculate, it would be a lot cooler if it didn't depend on transcendental functions.

Events like this show that the Internet is pretty heavily centralized. The original DARPA Internet was supposed to be resilient to stuff like this, but it's clear that the old Internet, and the new Internet, are not the same. We as I

Right, I think the lazy thing implies that it would happen post "commit" being returned to the client, but it doesn't need to be. The commit just needs to be wait for "an" fsync call, not its own.

I always wondered why the fsync has to be lazy. It seems like the fsync's can be bundled up together, and the notification messages held for a few millis while the write completes. Similar to TCP corking. There doesn't need to

Both ints and floats represent real, rational values, but every operation in no way matches math. Associative? No. Commutative? No. Partially Ordered? No. Weakly Ordered? No. Symmetric? No. Reflexive? No. Antisymmetric? No.

Intuitively it doesn't sound like it would work. The program doesn't call listen() or accept() on the socket.

I've been throwing moderately large parties the past 2 years (12-40 people) and the lack of partying is definitely noticeable. Most people don't reciprocate, making it disheartening to keep doing it. I wanted to build friendshi

Information is valuable; we just weren't charging for it. AI is just bringing the market for knowledge back into equilibrium.

There's a great graph showing the wages stagnating compared to GDP growth. It looks like wage's haven't gone up. But, when adding back in employer provided health coverage and other benefits, the graphs align again. It ju

Type inspection is the flaw of Go's interface system. Try to make a type that delegates to another object, and the type inspection breaks. It's especially noticeable with the net/http types, which would be great to interce

Unbelievable, they actually missed one: 2^(log(22)/log(2)) has all even digits!

Neat, looks like it would work well for values clustered around 0.5, and which hang more closely around 0 and 1.

Hm, cool idea but ran into a glitch. Cutting 3 elongated ovals, end to end and forming a triangle, didn't remove the center piece.

This is exactly right. I've stopped publishing to my blog because I know my words will be slurped up and sausaged out into ChatGPT or Gemini. And, without people writing about technical subjects, or talking about current events, or

Cursors are generally better, but they don't give any hint about how much more is in front of the cursor. I don't think there is a O(log n) algorithm to keep track of what position a given item is in a collection (k'th item
