If you just need a single scan every now and then and have an old scanner, I can see this being handy. Installing Linux, battling Windows drivers or buying Vuescan (great as it is) might be enough to make most just give up and take a photo

Someone at Google are ultimately responsible for the overall direction. Saying that a company is made up by thousands of people and they should be judge, perhaps not individually, but at least not as one gigant whole, is asking the employee

The boss man got a few of us Kagi gift-subscriptions/credits earlier this year, after we've been taking about wanting to try it. Before that I used Ecosia, which I also considered pretty good, but Kagi and everything else it just

Bing is surprisingly not to bad. I don't use it anymore, but it's been providing better results than Google for sometime.

This might be my understanding that's wrong, but I assumed that the LLM itself actually can't produce like a UUID, but it can "predict" one, hence why it sometimes hallucinate IDs. So my thinking was, strip that bit out

Except that we don't yet know what would need in all cases, this seems like something that should be provided by the environment. It feels much like the random number generators in your operating system. The OS is responsible for provi

Can someone explain why this would even be needed? Why is there a cost to generating say an UUIDv4? E.g. Claude Code has some regex in the client side code that filters out "bad words", so why can't the agent just generate UU

From my experience with package delivery I can tell you this is not how it works. Press the button, door doesn't open that instance, ergo no one is home. My home office is in the other end of the house, it takes ~20-30 seconds for me t

We might not be AI/agent enough for this product. I wondered about that as well, but it's not actually a grep problem, it's an ingest problem for agents. Apparently some agents use grep to navigate code and it's this &qu

"We'd be making money if we didn't have to manufacture the product", something like that?

How did they even manage to generate a terabyte sized repo, that's crazy. Do they have something written up on how it's structured and why they'd even go that route?
282.
by mrweasel 5mo ago
Why would they do it like this? It makes no real sense to me. At that point it's an entirely different project, with the same functionality. If you use Bun in production, does this feel like a well managed upstream? I don't use Bu

Projects like this brings a lot of joy to me, even if it's technically only "I configured NetBSD as a webserver".

The demos of LazyVim looks really nice, and people seem to get a benefit/joy out of it. I gave it a try, but it's a little to much for me. Right now I think my .vimrc is two lines. That's also sort of silly as I benefit very

For debugging image it's sometimes nice to be able to actually do stuff in the container, but for production image I'd agree.

From a Danish perspective I don't really see any positive long, or short, term gains from the Fehmarn tunnel, but I also live in the wrong part of the country. This is a tunnel for Sweden, Norway and Copenhagen, it's moving the ce

Currently it's happening in reverse in Denmark. People submit complaints to the municipalities about various things and increasingly those complaints are written with the help of AI (~20%). These cases take up a ton of time, because th

Partially the Ukraine war got at least parts of Europe started, then adding Trumps mess on top but keeps the ball rolling. I've heard a lot of people being critical of wind turbines, calling them ugly and wanting nothing to do with the

The problem with almost all call centers is that their "agents" aren't given any agency. They can attempt to convince you that your bill is actually correct, or escalade our issue to technical support, which may or may not ge

Personally I'm very suspicious of any company calling. These are businesses that have actively avoided any form of human to human contact in the past two decades, why would they suddenly want to call me?

In the same line of thinking: I'm a little concerned that humans are, to some extend, just LLMs in a meat suit.

Would there technically be any issues with remote controlling a real A380?

> You need prior consent, before you initiate contact! ... How does that work? It's really weird, I mean I can understand that people (honestly mostly women) dislikes having a ton of random people chatting them up at the gym. It pro

The VW ID.4 also seems like a gaming console. The steering wheel is full of capacitive buttons, you never know what you might accidentally activate or adjust. If you just want to drive it's a really nice car, but the overuse of capacit

It's $200, otherwise I think it would be a bit on the high end in terms of price per piece. $600 is the cheapest version on eBay. Unless you need the box, you can get the instructions online ( https://rebrickable.com/moc

The other way around made more sense to me as well. I don't see this going well for eBay, but I also don't entirely know how well their business is doing. Here local eBay "clones" aren't in a good place and have bee

The part I don't fully understand is what leverage this gives Uber over anyone else? Uber doesn't have the fleet management, mechanics, cleaners or even storage facilities. They do have the most used taxi app, but that seems like

A large part of their business is also industrial applications. I doubt industrial customers care much about the colour and more and volume discounts and ability to provide custom solutions.
