Yeah, in Europe we simply don't have the money. And with an aging population and stagnant/declining productivity that seems unlikely to improve in the future. If anyone is going to overtake the US, it will be China.

Education (and research like this example) seem to be one of the highest ROI things you can invest in. It's a shame it's so often seen as an easy place to make cuts.

Using -p (non-interactive mode) now uses API pricing, not subscription (so it's now more expensive). But if you have a subscription you get some free credits for it.

I think it means human skill development. It offers learning opportunities to the user. > When you complete architectural work (new files, schema changes, refactors), Claude offers optional 10-15 minute learning exercises grounded in evi

I remember SubSeven and John The Ripper. I’m not even sure why I had them as a kid, I never managed to actually use them.

While I agree with him that the US is becoming more unpredictable, I don't think the EU is much better, especially with regards to digital things where they can be worse in some ways. For example, they are discussing restricting VPN ac

I connect my iPhone to my car and it requires Siri to be enabled which I can then use to change songs, Google Maps destinations etc. without having to touch anything. The Siri voice transcription is pretty awful compared to what I've e

I can actually see more use-cases for Google Glass tbh - having a HUD would be useful when using Google Maps for example, like a fighter pilot. And being able to take photos/videos with the glasses (like the Meta ones nowadays) is real

Yeah, I'd hate to use this in an open-plan office (which is like 99% of offices these days) and even using it alone at home would feel awkward. I don't really want to talk to the computer despite what 1950's sci-fi books led

I wouldn't sit in the office talking on my phone next to my colleagues, that would be really annoying. I'd go and find a small meeting room or conference call booth in the office and take it there. Essentially, a cabinet.

This is going to be called the Slopbook, I’m calling it now.

I really like the Pixel phone. And when they cancelled Stadia I got a full refund including all game purchases, so it wasn’t that bad.

The Computational Neuroscience one helped me get a PhD place many years ago. But one of the professors on the admissions board was a friend of the professor who ran the Coursera course so they had a lot more trust in it.

Coursera has high-quality, curated courses from reputable professors and institutions. Udemy has almost the opposite. Hopefully, this is handled well.

It was an interesting read - perhaps I misunderstood the part about blocking GitHub, but is not possible just to block it from accessing that specific repo?

I can only imagine these people have never experienced such censorship. Maybe they'll feel differently when they have to upload their ID and face scan (which later gets leaked) just to be able to read a recipe for beer or whatever.

So the user opens the app - what is the first video you show them? How does 'the user decide' from the millions upon millions of videos there are? If the user can search like in Youtube then how do you rank the results? That'

It reminds me of Qwant - the French Google alternative that got a load of public money. The fact you've probably never heard of it shows how well that went.

There's an obvious advantage to everyone speaking the same language - although perhaps real-time translation with LLMs and hardware like the Timekettle will reduce this problem. Personally, I wouldn't really care if that language

It's €80 digital and €90 physical here in Spain. :(

Yes, there is no OLED version like they later released for the original Switch. OLED is probably better overall but it can be harder to use in bright sunshine and you have the risk of burn-in if you accidentally leave the screen turned on f

The price increases aren't massive though, I think I'll still wait for a mainline Mario game.

All the AI stuff is just noise to make it sound better - the real issue is the economic downturn. If anything, AI makes each employee much more valuable because they can be much more productive and most big companies always have stuff that

by schnitzelstoat 5mo ago
The AI companies aren't so deep in the red when you only look at inference though - they are investing loads in new models in an AI arms race. So I don't imagine AI is going to go away, especially given that now there are more ope

It seems there is a new version [1] - I'll try it out and see if it is better. [1] https://github.com/gsd-build/gsd-2

I've found the get-shit-done tool[1] to be quite useful for forcing me to properly plan the implementation and ensuring the context remains small and relevant at all times. It is slower than when I was just using Claude directly though

Yeah, my experience was from the UK between like 2002 and 2007. Speaking with my younger cousins it seems nowadays they have the opportunity to learn actual programming and so on. We just got Doom (the 1995 one) and Street Fighter 2 to work

It reminds me of the 'IT Literacy' classes we had when I was in high school where they just taught us to use Microsoft Office products.

I guess if people use eBay a lot to sell used games then there is something of an overlap there. Otherwise, it seems pretty weird.

Is such a large context window even desirable? It seems like it would consume an awful lot of tokens and, unless one was very careful to curate the context, could even result in worse performance.
