Given that you guys are in charge of both uv and rye, why keep two alive at the same time? Why not just kill rye now to avoid fragmentation, and confusion that comes with the burden of having to choose between the two?

Worth noting that the uv folks ( https://astral.sh/blog/uv ) have taken over reins from this Armin project.

DaVinci Resolve is great (I'm partial to all Adobe replacements; Resolve is indeed a great alternative to Premiere, and Pixelmator, Rebelle, Affinity, etc. are great replacements for Photoshop), but none of these are OSS.

The other disappointing thing (correct me if I'm wrong) is that it's not quite portable in a true sense; if I take the Starlink equipment I bought in United States to.. say, Argentina or Germany, it won't work there. I wish i

Fancy screens are essentially low-tech now though, they've been commodified, Apple and Google will hook up car companies with that and it's not gonna cost them much. Bespoke buttons with soft touch is what is exotic.

I want to say something and I promise I say it not as a dig on you... as someone who's followed you for more than 10 years, I am fascinated that despite the many, many changes and revisions in your belief systems over the years, someth

I've gotta share something -- so, I think I have a bit of an addiction with YouTube and I'd been thinking about how to shake it off. I didn't get round to it for whatever reason (blocks in modem settings maybe), but one day a

The most moneyed and well-coordinated organizations have honed a large hammer, and they are going to use it for everything, and so almost certainly future big findings in the areas you mention, probabilistically inclined models coming from

Depends. Hardware-based ray tracing is pretty attractive. As soon as renderers start making use of it, you'll see render speeds practically double over the previous equivalent M2 machines and considering low power consumption and other

When the board was asked for details by the team, they said they couldn’t provide a specific example because Sam had been so deft—as if he had cast a magic spell on them. I've read pg et al singing praises about Sam,

Transcription speed and accuracy keeps going up and it’s delightful to see the progress, I wish though more effort was dedicated to creating integrated solutions that could accurately transcribe with speaker diarization.

I find it remarkable that he manages to escape the spotlight that SBF or Elizabeth Holmes received. I guess the guy knows how to play the hustler game better than all of them.

Epic very much is poised to take over and every week it appears a new large healthcare center makes the switch to it. I think the hard lesson everyone must learn eventually is that they have to take control of/become deeply involved wi

In a very meaningful way the line between physician and non-physician had been blurring anyway. There's a software called Epic which is used by virtually all large healthcare centers, and while most know it as a database system to stor

In 2020 Tesla overtook Toyota as the most valuable car company, which is of course ludicrous and stupid. But Toyota probably took a note at that time about the importance of PR puff pieces. But indulging in PR puff shouldn't be the rea

Pardon me that I'm somewhat off-topic but it seems tangentially related, the rant I'm about to go on -- When looking particularly at the evolution of MS Office, I often land on the view that UI peaked around 2010 and promptly shot
