Just a few billion of them that no person created or understands, which are based on the their input data and not design decisions, which include random initialization. I see no reason to treat them any differently than software in a conver

Software is used to make models, but the models aren’t software anymore than Toy Story is software.

You could fine tune and release that. It’s not software so exact parallels don’t make sense, but the open permissions are great.

Remote control to turn things on or off. Example: turn on new cool beta feature for 5% of users. Code ships with ‘if (new_cool.enabled)’ checks everywhere.

Tools, language and performance are great. Ecosystem is no good. Almost all Kotlin libraries assume Android and don’t work on multi platform. Common things just don’t exist.

Has this been noted elsewhere? Sounds like Mulvad reported after the 6th which is pretty close to the RC. From source: "we have investigated this issue after the 6th beta was released and reported the bug to Apple"

Acquirers typically add terms to deal preventing vanity announcements and defining shutdown timeline. They don’t want the overhead of maintaining, or the negative brand hit. Each case is different, but there’s always a plan. They probably h

I read it as “hosted AWS version coming soon, we will email you when it’s time to migrate”. If it was just acquihire there probably wouldn’t have a big blog post tying it to AWS. Just negative publicity for acquirer when they could shut dow

Am I missing the benefit of a faster static site generator? Development phase speed?

I've used popcnt in prod in last 10 years. We were looking for similar images in large sets, using a perceptual hash (64 bits, at least 60 bits being same considered a match). Tried a few different solutions. Fancy vector databases. Cl

Title should be: Meta not allowed to show news links in Canada without signing contracts with publishers. They are required to do this now. Blaming them and not lawmakers is strange to me.

AliExpress has been surprisingly great. Good selection. Great prices. Just make sure to buy from reputable sellers.

If you have any 100w incandescent bulbs running 24x7 please immediately go replace them with LED (for the world and for your energy bill).

You assume warnings reach users. Some people miss emails. Fewer miss a service going offline. Keeping data after shutdown is a good backup.

If you are shutting it down, you can pay for the grace period. Period.

Update: Dasher is super neat, but definitely for people with fine motor control. I'm working on the opposite, where people have very limited fine motor control.

I haven’t gotten around to documenting it yet. There’s a subdirectory “Morse” with an early version used in user testing, but nothing self explanatory. Plan is a 2-button (or 2 switch) design like Morse code, but without the learning curve

Not exactly the ask, but a user friendly alternative is HomeKit cameras with a HomePod mini as a hub for local processing. Some can be paired without any app, and once paired you can block internet access at the router level. You can access

Giant +1 to everything being named “+page.svelte” being painful. It clashes with every dev environment I’ve tried (vim tabs, vs code).

iPadOS is mostly delivering on what you describe. Plug into monitor, mouse, keyboard, window manager, multitasking. Only gap is the “open/unlocked” bit, but Apple is making slow progress there. It shows the horse power is there in iPho

I love my 3rd party Reddit app, but when their business model is either 1) don’t show Reddit’s ads and instead show their own ads, or 2) charge a fee to remove all ads (including Reddit’s) - it does feel like it was just a matter of time be

Agreed. Switches for everything. Should work like you expect. Any automation/control should be optional invisible benefits.

Traffic is most likely a spike. In a month it will probably be down to a few percent of that. I wouldn’t shutdown or optimize too much unless you see it persist for a few more weeks at this level. If your lucky and it’s still going strong a
