But that's the point for me. Unlike e.g. Vimium, this thing is not limited to clicking clicky things, but allows to imitate nearly arbitrary mouse movements, very quickly. There are cases when it's important.

I like Vimium. But does it allow you to do arbitrary drag actions, as this thing does?

The picture shows it nicely, too. (But I bet that most Macbook users don't even use a mouse.)

The video shows it, but it takes a bit of effort to grok. They could use some explanatory graphics. Also, not OSS but $49 for a lifetime license. I suppose that I could spend less on tokens to repro the idea for my private use. I like the i

Isn't 127/8 always present in IPv4, without I'll consequences?

Why, consider: mailbox → pattern matching → fully statically typed code. It's not unlike the standard HTTP-based API → routing and parsing → fully statically typed code.

I suppose ESP32-based modules usually carry networking and USB hardware which is immediately usable, without esoteric IP licenses, don't they?

I love the slightly whimsical design of the site, clear as a children's book, or as a technical drafting.

Don't open-weight models sort of returning the favor?

You just need 1000x more zombie fridges, which may be still acceptable for some bad actors.

Modern laptops either have an LTE modem integrated into the general wireless chip, or have a short m.2 slot for a modem card. My T14 has even a dedicated slot for a SIM card.

Now that LLMs can produce texts in any form, and of a considerable length, may we please stop bickering about the form, and concentrate on the content? Because otherwise we'd allow LLMs troll us: produce slop to mask where the content

«The good news is that California's legislature noticed. In 2024, prompted directly by this fiasco, California passed AB 2503, exempting rail electrification on existing right-of-way from the CEQA reviews that Atherton exploited. One v

Time and again, a small group of people who have motivation and resources wins against numerous members of general public who are neither coordinated nor motivated enough.

Replacing docker with podman could help in this particular case. Running everything in an insulated throwaway VM should help even better. Unless you trust an AI as much as you trust yourself, there's no reason to allow it to act with y

I still have trouble understanding what information can be leaked this way. Apparently it allows to check whether a particular website was visited recently, but the article is vague in this regard. Can anybody ELI55 this?

"Natural" is something that happens "by itself", for free, without your having to exert an effort to produce it. If it happens to be something beneficial, it should be incorporated and used to your advantage.

Have releases of other open-source tools destroyed cottage industries? Certainly they have, to an extent. Would it be better if most tools you use were proprietary, built by cottage industries? I doubt it. Especially if we notice that cotta

Microsoft is big, internally incoherent (even inimical, according to some accounts), and people responsible for VSCode and WSL are likely totally unrelated to people determining when and how to crack MS's crown jewel, the Office suite,

The problem is when your counterparty sends and expects MSO documents with latest advanced features.

They can only use it to run a particular tool related to a piece of MSO software. This may be a relatively short operation, a relatively small part of an agent's activity. Then hundreds of agents can use a single machine with MSO, simi

I used to think that zero alloc = zero malloc, and all stack allocations are of statically known fixed size (you know the max call depth), so you can preallocate your stack area with some confidence, and will never run out of RAM. The line

Encyclopedic knowledge does not equal expertise, much like raw intellect does not equal wisdom. Knowing "too much" and not knowing what belongs to the core and what is a secondary detail is exactly a lack of domain expertise .

Technically this is not related to voxels ("volumetric pixels", so to say), which split the 3D space equally along all three axes. This is just a height map, a set of prisms, not entirely unlike a Doom map. Every prism has a regul

It would be enough to guarantee no legal threats against users who reverse-engineer the protocol and implement their own server. (A catchy name for it: "Fair Game Act".)

You did not express any desire to wash the car. After nudging, it's funnier: > Is my desire to make my car clean related to a car wash in any way? To driving to it? > Your desire to have a clean car isn’t tied to the existence

A child is not a fully autonomous person. I would of course take the loaded gun from the child, unload it, and explain its dangers to the child. Money, in any form, may be as dangerous as a loaded gun, trading stocks or not. Most adults are

I'd say that it's very natural to want to retire after 40 years of doing anything . You reach your various ceilings. You have most of your enthusiasm spent, most tasty bits of your area of expertise picked and consumed, seen many
