If AI reaches this level socioeconomic impact is going to be so immense, that choosing what subject you study will have no impact on your outcome - no matter what it is - so it's a pointless consideration.

One thing I'm kind of surprised by is that the custom mouse space is so empty, compared to custom keyboard scene. I would like to have some custom micro controller/ZMK based mouse that I can pair with say my wireless split keyboar

I mean if all you care about is greenhouse emissions this still works - leess flying is less flying.

Yeah but what I'm saying is the level of engineering power that goes into making such relatively simple abstraction is huge and we have decades of experience. I think if AI ever gets to the point where it's so reliable for natural

When it's cheaper to replace device 2 than get device 3 I guess walling it off in a subnet makes sense. These devices need to get replaced eventually anyway so unless the manufacturer goes under in a year or two of purchase IDK really.

I feel like you underestimate how much effort goes into making CPUs reliable and how low level/well specified the problem of building a VM/compiler is compared to getting a natural language specification to executable program. Sol

I am in a similar situation where I needed to jump in on a python Django codebase for a side gig I'm helping a friend out on. Since I have no interest in using Django in the future I decided to Claude my way trough the project - I did

I think Balmers "developers, developers, developers" meme has been around longer than some people here are alive - it served them well in the Windows era and it serves them well in the cloud space.

Ironically gen AI made their products worse more than the rest. I can't believe the amount of AI slop I see every time I open Facebook - I'd check it occasionally when replying to messenger and scroll through for a while, after se

Ah nice didn't know it had a PDF backend - that sounds perfect for this use case.
555.
by rafaelmn 2y ago
Is Canvas really suitable for PDFs ? Afaik it's immediate mode bitmap graphics - so PDFs would just be embedded bitmaps ?

by rafaelmn 2y ago
You can get that on mac mini and it will probably cost you less than equivalent PC setup. Should also perform better than low end Intel GPU and be better supported. Will use less power as well.

Honestly I came back to frontend after a few years away and then recently got on next.js project. It seems like this has become the way to build SPA applications ? It feels like a major step backwards - the huge complexity of having fronten

Out of curiosity I checked on iPhone 14/4g and 2018 Intel MBP. I don't get what the point of these comments is ? If you're using RPI with a 2g connection you'll have a bad experience shopping at the site ? And somehow th

How relevant is print these days ? Coming from that background it's depressing to see my former coworkers working in a shrinking market, and the only people in graphics I know that are making reasonable money are in digital. Not to say

EC2 sold below market rate ? S3 I could argue somehow (unconvincingly). But what's the argument for EC2 ?

Having used o1 and Claude through Copilot in VSC - Claude is more accurate and faster. A good example is the "fix test" feature is almost always wrong with o1, Claude is 50/50 I'd say - enough to try. Tried on Typescript

That's just a thing that needs to be renegotiated - highly doubt these two are getting into a patent war given the state of x86. Unless Intel gets acquired by a litigious company to go after AMD :shrug:

Europe is already talking heavy tariffs to protect it's automakers, with Trump winning and his stance on the issue - doubtful they will let this happen.
