Huh, didn't know about "ChatGPT-User"... I've always been a fan of a slightly blacker-hat approach to this problem: rather than block those user agents outright, wouldn't it be way more fun to serve them nonsense or

Counterpoint: this YouTube rant by an animation person called Noodle is a pretty good overview of why frame interpolation sucks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KRb_qV9P4g Basically, low FPS can be a stylistic choice, and

VPP is really neat tech. I recently worked on a product that employed it, and it was impressive to see a commodity low-power CPU pushing tens of gigabits of traffic.

Oh man, on first reading I definitely thought it was saying "with experimental technologies, Linux can drop all traffic", which would have been a hilarious dig... but I think "drop all incoming packets" is a useful bench

I genuinely thought this was going to be satire, based on just the headline... then I clicked and read the first paragraph, and STILL thought it was satire. Then I saw the link to the earnings release and figured out it's real. Where e

This is a problem they're working on solving, I think. The hospital group I've been using in the Portland area recently announced that patient-initiated messages that take more than a few minutes, and require e.g. digging through

Maybe a little off-topic, but I always wonder if the folks who work on stuff like this ever consider that they might be the bad guys. Like, sure, maybe the people you're trying to send email to are already customers, or they're ot

I've seen a bit of discussion lately about EPSS[0], which is a model that tries to take more practical metrics about any given CVE (including pieces of the CVSS, but also things like whether there's a GitHub PoC or if it's up

Wait... so this isn't satire? I read all the way through expecting a reveal, but when I got to the bottom all I found was a link to other chapters of "How to Productize Yourself"... which, again, I thought was a joke but upon

The purpose of this story is for the author to recount their experience in an entertaining way that's pleasant to read. Why would you want to use an LLM to summarize it? That'd be like finding an interesting-looking novel to read

Yeah, that's completely right, but as you said in another comment, there's some real bullshit in the FMVSS that to me, a complete layperson, seems like it has the sole effect of blocking the certification of perfectly safe and cle

The 25-year import rule here, which bans Americans from importing vehicles from other countries unless they're 25+ years old, is just awful for those of us who would be interested in driving small, efficient foreign cars. It would be g

I don't know and don't want to speculate, but I do hope it's just a fun indie project with the goal of artistic expression, and that there's no parasitic "how-can-we-monetize-this" ulterior motive.

Ahh, /etc/machine-id, we meet again... Last time I met you, you were causing my cloned VM to get the same DHCP address as its original and blow up my VM network, despite libvirt's virt-clone utility properly randomizing vNIC

Directly connecting these blinds to my Home Assistant instance via the ZHA integration and a HUSBZB-1 Zigbee/ZWave stick[0] works pretty well. I've got 8 of them around my house, and some automations to open/close with the su

When I got my new HVAC system installed a few months ago (heat pump, woohoo!), they needed to upgrade my thermostat, so they gave me a Honeywell VisionPro 8000, which is a "smart" thermostat but, like your T9 (I think), demands Wi

I always wonder what kinds of people benefit from writeups like this. Maybe I'm deceiving myself, but I feel as though I'm a pretty good conversationalist, despite not having much of an in-person social life in my formative years.

The scan that indicated the 80% reduction was after just a couple of weeks, if I recall correctly. Since you're talking about immunotherapy not typically being a first-line treatment, I'll share a morbidly interesting fact that un

Thanks for sharing your story and treatment details. I should add that my relative's cancer has no particularly interesting mutations, but does have a high PD-L1 expression, which from what I can tell is the reason Keytruda was more li

I agree that my original comment is very optimistic--for what it's worth, Keytruda has thus far been very effective in the case I'm talking about, so I have some bias here. I concede that even in my "double the effectiveness&
