I wonder how portable the existing models are for different use cases. As good as they are for greenfield development or working in a single or across a few tightly coupled repos, they're absolutely terrible at debugging distributed sy

taillights look like a vinfast.

144kWh (!!) to get 435mi range though.

Also, I imagine that the expansion and reduction in size of the Soviet empire over the decades has played a part, not to mention a certain provincialism among (western) European powers in terms of what they consider to be "real" E

I think it's more of a psychological trick for the author, and it would probably work for me as well. Some people are incredibly good at doing what they consider fun. Others have a hard time turning off the analytical/anxious brai

I'm not sure how surprised Americans would be to learn that there are so many "centers of Europe". After all, we all know that Colorado is in "the west", Texas in the "southwest", and, clearly, "the S

Beer mat = "coaster" for the curious. I was originally thinking a paper tablecloth. It was pretty straightforward to understand via browser translation of the wikipedia article, thanks!

The problem with docking stations is they're more expensive than an ethernet adapter. I tried to use a few 2.5+Gbps dongles with my laptop(s) to avoid spending $400 on another Caldigit dock (TS4; I already have a TS3 with 1Gbps etherne

On desktop, there are no dots. The logos are centered precisely where (I think) they are meant to be.

1.67x on the ethernet version! $150 -> $250.

Wait, so is your theory mutually exclusive to Anthropic's claims of "theft of capabilities"?

yeah, it seems like it would have to be accompanied by a pay bump for the ones you really want to retain... which is challenging from an optics perspective.

We've already lost the war on outward visibility. Virtually every bit of our safety regulatory system encourages or demands vehicles that you can't really see out of anymore. Side impact standards and higher door sills all around,

Four way stops that require all traffic to stop for no particular reason are always a bad idea. They're a waste of time and resources. Two way stops are OFTEN a bad idea, because they require two directions of travel to stop for _somet

I don't understand your comment. * Jaywalking makes.. what harder? * In the UK, roundabouts are marked with areas for pedestrians to cross but they are not crossings? What are they, then? * You don't have to wait * But also you ca

In any context I can think of, even looking at channels I subscribe to on the AppleTV app, shorts are the second row.

Holy crap. Solar energy is only considered a net positive on society by 65% of people??

As a USian, I had the same thought!

Actually, it's worse in the US due to our regs.

The third sentence got to what my objection was going to be. It's fun trying to make the thing do what you want it to do! That's why many of us like computers. It's the randomness that sucks and makes the process unsatisfying

I've worked with folks like the ones he cites. I've been jealous of their ability to absorb new things, but then you realize they're absolutely allergic to any kind of maintenance or responsibilities beyond "build, build

It seems to depend a lot. It's kind of hard in Germany - they wanted my permanent address. I didn't find France as difficult. Iceland didn't care. Italy wanted my passport. Chile, you virtually needed to be a citizen, as I re

Every once in awhile my background wallpaper goes from "normal" to "blurry mess". It seems to correlate with low battery but not perfectly. I'm not quite sure what's going on.

> At some point, execution speed starts to matter more than the elegance of the code. This works better in greenfield deployments than in existing ones. We all know AI "hallucinates". This is reasonably easy to work around on n
