I just find it hard to engage with anything AI-made, no matter how good I don't think this is true for many people. The best example is the movie industry. Hollywood was using AI (in the form of convolutional neural networks mostly)

I don't care one bit if the content is interesting, useful, and accurate. The issue with AI slop isn't with how it's written. It's the fact that it's wrong, and that the author hasn't bothered to check it. If I

I have a simpler way of doing this. I just don't use websites that are enshittified. Trying to fix a broken site is a tedious game of cat and mouse as the devs break your fixes. Just find an alternative.

It probably isn't really using that much but it will have reserved that much. V8 reserves memory in chunks of 256MB using virtualalloc with MEM_RESERVE on Windows (I think). It has to do that for each isolated process where an isolate

I have no doubt this could be a useful tool given the nice looking UX, but everything it does is already in Devtools. If you open Devtools, then click "Sources", there are two options in the left panel 'Page' and 'W

That might work, but the second order effect would probably be companies trying to do the work of time synchronisation themselves in case it happened again. That would lead to fragmentation and incompatibility.

Yep. It's raining pretty hard here in the North East of the UK. Not much point in going to look.

Are the mouse studies not worrying enough for you to change your behaviour? Change to what?

This sometimes leads to valuable insights, but always slows the driver down. In cases where the insight is genuinely useful that's better than going fast mostly because you were probably going fast in the wrong direction. Ideally you

I suspect, but will probably never find the time to try, that you could build an AST from the source, discard the bits that are just the internals of functions and methods, and then turn what remains back into something an LLM could use.

One of the main reasons why code is often hard to understand is that it doesn't actually do what it appears to do unless you get in and read the code in depth. It looks like skim is making an assumption that would make this happen a lo

I don't necessarily believe that a priori spending $500 on a pair of pants is irrational, but I really struggle to imagine any pair of pants being worth that much money unless they are lined with gold or something. I don't think

Exactly the point. If there's a lot of data in the training set the results will be better.

Is this what programming is now? No. Vibe coding in the sense of handing all responsibility and accountability for the code in a change request over to AI and then claiming the bad code is the fault of AI is not a thing. It's still

The model will use the full context if it's been designed well, but you can still increase the size of the window on models where it hasn't. It's just pointless. People who don't know much about LLMs will still think &qu

I just checked gpt-oss:20b on my M4 Pro 24GB, and got 400.67 tokens/s on input and 46.53 tokens/s on output. That's for a tiny context of 72 tokens.

art of the reason China produces more power (and pollution) is due to China manufacturing for the US. Presumably they'd stop doing that once AI becomes a more beneficial use for the energy though.

Only if your idea of using AI is to write a single prompt to generate everything you need. That's a terrible way of using AI though, because it doesn't work. If you approach AI as an iterative process where you're architectin
