The teeth resizing dynamically is incredibly distracting, or more positively, a nice way to identify fakes. For now.

I remember it as having quite a bit of fan service, as was typical 20 years ago. There are also warranted negative connotations about incels today that didn’t really exist at the time. Overall I don’t think it would resonate with me like it

oh god "NHK ni Youkoso" came out 20 years ago already... Watching it as a teenager made a lasting impression on me, especially the depictions of depression and anxiety, the animation by Gonzo, and also the trumpet in the jazzy ope

This is very interesting. This is similar to how Big Tech runs tech projects in a vastly different way than the “good practices” for agile/scrum commonly adopted by the industry at large. e.g. https://blog.pragmaticengineer.

This is quickly becoming my favorite technical blog. Congrats Richie and Ryan. I didn't fully understand Antithesis the first time I ran into it; now it makes sense.

The phrasing in the announcement is a bit awkward. > We’re maintaining mistral-medium, which we are not updating today. As a French speaker, I parse this to mean: "we're not releasing a new version of mistral-medium today, but

Ah yes, thank you! The Cheng Man Ching so-called "short form" would be considered a descendant/variation of Yang style then. I assume we're more familiar with Cheng Man Ching in the West due to his travels and teachings

There are a lot of possibly exaggerated, and somewhat dubious, legends about Cheng Man Ching (who created the "Yang style" I believe). In one such story, he performs an exhibition match at the British Embassy in Chungking during W

Crucially the French translation was significantly rewritten, with contributions from Hofstadter. In doing so, the French version becomes a separate projection of the author’s original ideas, along a different vector than the original Engli

It sounds similar in tone to solarpunk novellas. Great to have one more keyword to search.

My solution to this problem, which has worked for the past 2 years, is to rely on a private git repo for sync, obsidian on desktop, and GitJournal on mobile.

This is almost certainly normal activity under a 10b-5 plan, meant to protect specifically against suspicion of insider trading, which is what you’re implying.

SMS 2FA is better than no MFA at all, despite the very valid concerns about SMS. It at least protects against credential stuffing and similar automated attacks.

First, some people extend your argument from DNA to everything and say "I believe that privacy in the modern world is unrealistic"; that doesn't make the argument applicable to the rest of us. Second, whether DNA can or canno

For one thing, this leaks a portion of the genome of your relatives, which is a clear breach of their privacy. Whether you personally deem it sensitive or not, genetic data is meant to remain confidential.

Thank you for sharing! I was just wondering what kind of devs work on solvers as a day job. Would you say that building a “toy solver” for hold em could be a fun way to learn or improve with a language? I’d be curious to see how much work i

Very interesting trade-off! I was curious what you and Ryan were cooking post DDOG. "cost-effective serverless kafka" is a very interesting play. And congrats on the public announcement for "shipping Husky", finally. --M

From the same movie, another quote that applies to VC trendsetting as a business model: “There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first; be smarter; or cheat. Now, I don't cheat. And although I like to think we have s

This is amazing! The Gods have sent me the perfect excuse to finally read all the rust ebooks I’ve been collecting! I have a toy project where certain functions are CPU-bound and would make for a perfect learning project. Very timely read!

I don’t think that’s fair. CS is a GSIB. We can wipe shareholders, but (unlike SVB) it’s a lot less clear what can be done with bond holders without threatening the stability of the global financial system. Probably the central bank will ha

I don’t know about clawbacks on bonuses, but part of their comp is equity and shareholders are getting wiped, so you’re pretty much getting your wish anyway.

IIRC banks pay a fee to the FDIC in exchange for providing insurance, and because the FDIC is not funded by taxpayer money, the fee simply goes up when needed.
