   I think it was like the 80 or 81 that my dad referred to the computer in their company as "el cerebro electrónico" and it was a IBM System/34.

   It depends on the particular easter egg. In this case, well, printing "gimme gimme gimme" after midnight is not that hard to catch and from what I understand it doesn't affect the basic functionality. I prefer to think of i

    I didn't mean the video impersonation, I was referring to the possibility of making a synthetic bot automatically attend a conference call like a regular user without using a desktop camera simulation or stuff like that. It's not

    Last time I checked it was not possible through Teams API call for video conferences, although it is pretty easy to set up a chat bot in Teams with a custom Copilot. I'd say that it looked more feasible through a plugin for Google Me

    Bullet points are DHH's opinions about web development of late. Which are basically rallying against the perceived complexity of modern web stacks, either in the browser side (big JS frameworks, SPA and so on) and deployment side (bi

    The "why this needed to happen" has no reasonable answer. This is an act of love and dedication to a platform. Respect!

    Not forgetting operational failures due to human mistakes when doing delicate stuff on complex environments, and setting up on-prem infra to work like a hyperscaler does... well, it's not easy.

    At the first glance, it looks like Airstrip is a platform to build your own prompt based tools without writing additional code with a simple and nice organizational control plane. It also seems the case with RAG. But, say I have a more soph

    You are right. GR being or not the whole story is a thing, "soft hair" black holes is another thing with a much more speculative edge. But I would say that the first assertion, that GR is not the whole story, is more or less a gi

    If there is anything combined inside the resulting event horizon it doesn't matter what it was: as far as GR is concerned it has been reduced to the effect of its mass, charge and spin. But we already know that GR isn't the whole

    I am not exactly fond of Hexagonal Architecture although I don't deny the merits of the idea and I think it's useful. That said the important thing is that the article was very well written and I've enjoyed reading it.
