I’ve tested a bunch of vision models on particularly difficult documents (handwritten in a German script that’s no longer used), and I have yet to be impressed. They’re good at BSing to the point that you almost think they nailed it, unti

Unix was created in _1971_ and here we are still running processes and shells like it’s the 70s. Why not just have an LLM dream up the output?

Really? My perception (and their metrics seem to back this up) is that “normal people” are really on Reddit now. It’s the #7 most visited site in the world. It exploded during the pandemic - not just a site for internet nerds anymore.

I may be giving Gemini too much credit, actually - seems like its "reasoning" may be a summary as well.

Did you in the past? Normally Jupyter notebooks just include the package installation commands necessary to set up the environment from scratch. I've never seen a requirements.txt/lockfile distributed alongside a notebook.

I don't totally understand this, but it has the potential to be very, very cool. (The satellite imagery doesn't work in Firefox. Just clouds.)

I’m not sure why anyone would want their JS runtime to be their package manager, code formatter, compiler, bundler, web framework, KV store, and cloud provider(!) all at the same time. There’s just no way that they can ship the best product

Sure, and then only 10% of your use cases contain easily exploitable vulnerabilities.

That's what the OP link is about. Woodard is #2, below Turkey and above Japan.

A lot of them seem to be stubs with only one line of content. Not very hard to translate "David James Woodard (born April 6, 1964) is an American conductor and writer" passably into 300-some languages.

Yeah, importing two versions could allow you to pass v3 objects to v4 methods and vice versa, and that seems like an extremely bad idea (if it would even type-check / run).

Great if that's the only validation you need, but I can't imagine using it in a real app, and there are some obvious bugs (e.g. never use `instanceof Array`).

Well, Zod isn't just for validating JSON. It supports validating objects that can't be represented in JSON without transformation (dates, class instances, and so on). You can also use it as your JSON transformer if you want to - y

The downside is that if you’re on a two-week vacation and your home network/server goes down on day two, there’s probably nothing you can do until you get home. If it’s hosted online, you can count on that 99.99…% uptime and SSH access

Finalizers aren’t destructors. The finalizer doesn’t get access to the object being GC’d, for one. But even more crucially, the spec allows the engine to call your finalizer anywhere between long after the object has been GC’d, and never. T

Tim Sweeney is good at PR, and the media tends to fall for it. The judge didn’t say Fortnite had to be let back on the App Store. She said that Apple needed to allow payments through external payment processors. Apple can’t force Epic to us

What I’ve learned (the hard way) is that you just get what you pay for. If an Airbnb is $100 and all the hotels in the area are $200, no matter what the photos look like and how good the reviews are, it will be terrible. Most people review
