For some context, in June they said commits "commits nearly doubled year over year, crossing 1.4 billion per month". Now, it has more than doubled that in just a few months. https://github.blog/news-insights/p

There is a common accessibility pattern where the first tab focusable item is a "Skip to content" link in the top left corner. The link is initially hidden until you tab to it. That is the only use case I could think of when check

Honestly the title of this article is ridiculous. A global problem like plastic pollution, decades in the making, won't be solved by a single organization, especially an NGO, in only 13 years. I still applaud the word TOC is doing and

Probably a mixed bag at OpenRouter today. Some employees probably just became very wealthy. Others will see what it's like being owned by a different company with different goals. Layoffs tend to accompany most acquisitions within 6-12

I interpret 'breaking rapport' as doing something that makes the other person feel less connected to you. For example, bluntly contradicting them, dismissing something they said, teasing them when they are not comfortable with it,

I very much agree with this blog post but would reframe it a bit. I think ambition, like most things in life, is zero-sum and requires trade-offs. Before kids, all of your ambition could go into your professional life, but what happens when

Thanks! The site got hugged to HTTP 500 death. This is a great list. I didn't disagree with a single point. Some of those lessons took me far too many years to learn myself.

Could agree with this more. I've worked 100% remote for the last 6 years and had quite a few years of hybrid remote work before that. Not everyone is as well suited to it because you have to implement your own boundaries and discipline

Not in the same way really. There aren't examples of OpenAI, Anthropic, or GitHub/Microsoft doing the sketchy things that xAI has been involved with. Those companies care a lot about the reputational damage that would come from fl

What kind of enforceable guarantees could we actually get that xAI won't use our private code for training? Not empty promises, guarantees that have legal teeth. This applies to anything with xAI or Cursor though, especially after last

Definitely a well reasoned counter point to choosing websockets over SSE.

It could be quite a while before we reach that point though. 5+ years easily. I've been keenly interested in the ability to run local models, but the hardware is just not there. Consumer RAM speeds and capacity will have to signific

Of course, that same "phone" processor gets to operate with battery and thermal headroom of a laptop in the Macbook Neo. The bigger trade-offs are due to the device the chip operates within.

by pseudosavant 2mo ago
Agreed, losing the headphone jack on something the size of a phone was already questionable space saving for a bigger battery. But on something the size of a laptop, it is a joke. I'm sure it has more to do with saving $1 per laptop th

Hard to call them "irrelevant details" when they are facts, and that this data center is specifically used to run this AI for anti-semitic, pro-Hitler, and CSAM content. It would be bad enough if the data center was used to resear

Fair enough. Maybe not that far, but perhaps do a little one thing with these NAND gates they theorized? My issue may even be more with the HN title than the blog post, because the post never suggests anything like using a video codec for &

I guess I view 75% compatibility of the most oddball console architecture ever to be fairly successful. And it is still meaningfully gaining. It was 70% at the start of the year.

Cool that you can make a NAND gate like this, but I was more hoping for something that showed how to practically (ab)use a video encoder for "great computational power" to do something real. Not just how to make a NAND gate with o

RPCS3 has come a long way in the last few of years, both in performance and compatibility. Even Metal Gear Solid 4 is supposed to be playable (albeit using game patches) now. And emulating the PS3 architecture, with those weird Cell SPUs, h

For games that require online services, this will always be an inherent issue. But for games that don't, I'm betting on emulation continuing to save the day. When the PS3 was released with its complex/novel architecture, it s

Merged 6 months ago. This hardly seems newsworthy, even if it was at the time it was being merged. `enshittification` being thrown around for a single console line on a piece of software you probably aren't paying for seems like a supr

I've been running a 1.1km 5Ghz 802.11ac wifi link between two highly directional antennas for three years now. They have line-of-sight, albeit just barely. The kit I got cost $100 at the time. It was quite easy to setup even and suppos

Distillation. It isn’t just Chinese models doing that to OpenAI and Anthropic.

In practice, how have you used this? Are there scenarios where you need to be deploying .NET but want the ergonomics to be more like Python?

I think this looks like a great idea for the kind of automation people often use GPIOs for. I wonder what the complexity would be to make gpiozero that is compatible with Pi Pico 2 or ESP32 devices? A full Linux OS can be overkill for just

That is pretty interesting. It compiles to the CLR?
