A phone/tablet hooked up to your brainrot feed of choice and a treadmill that only works when you're walking/running seems like a great idea.

You still ultimately have the analogue hole here - pull the camera apart, splice your own hardware somewhere between the sensor and the thing that adds the signatures (or in front of the sensor).

Donning my tinfoil hat for a moment, YouTube is in a position here to simultaneously iterate on automatic AI video detection while also working out how to make AI generated video that's impossible to detect.

I like react if I'm the one writing all the code. But it's too easy to write something an order of magnitude more complex than it needs to be if you don't know what you're doing. And just easy enough to maintain that com

Chasing "driver engagement" during regular driving at/below speed limit on regular public roads strikes me as a bit pointless. You're just trying to add friction to the process because there happened to be friction in th

Surely if you were that security conscious you'd never trust some third party to put the keys on the drives and not keep a copy for themselves - you'd just buy two regular drives and put the key on there yourself.

I find if I ask most LLMs to write a self contained script/utility, even in codebases that are 90-100% written in some other language most will default to using python for it, or sometimes bash. Usually those kinds of utility scripts a

The funny thing is you absolutely can do things which improve both speed and quality at the same time (basic good engineering), but they're like 3 or 4 orders of effect removed from those outcomes and impossible to do when you have som

yeah I've always thought of cyan as just "blue, but really bright", which does make sense - you're going from 0, 0, 100 (blue) to 0, 100, 100 (cyan) so it's twice as far from pure black. I also see pure cyan as bein

Just requiring explicit assignment before first use feels like the superior approach to automatic initialization, regardless of whether the automatic initialization is with 0 or with NaN.

Do they have a substantial userbase for this outside of claude code? The only two use cases for LLMs that seem to have significant traction are programming, and erotic roleplay lol. If they stop catering to devs, who is their market?

I think it heavily depends on how you're using it. If you understand your codebase and you're using it like "build a function that does x in y file" then smaller/cheaper models are great. But if you're saying &

Are you using through regular copilot (the 'local' agent type), or through the separate claude agent type (which I believe you have to activate in your repository settings on github). I had the exact same issues with the latter -
