There are really a ton of fields where people have done an absolutely terrible job of properly using the advantages of software, even pre AI. Like, even today there are people manually drawing footprints in PCB design software, manually det

It's really getting extremely obnoxious. There is no point to the whole "shell commands output" view anymore because the model aggressively redirects everything to some scratchpad file, so besides the output viewer being a br

This is just finally bringing the magical "the computer did it" to the masses! When companies like Amazon accept, warehouse, bill for and ship unsafe Chinese trash, well, at every step it was just a computer. Google, X and others

LiDAR in drones is not necessarily the "stereo vision" application you are thinking of, it can also be something as simple as a LiDAR altimeter.

Funny how that works, so are Anthropic and OpenAI apparently. Maybe there is something we are missing here!

Maybe you are just aren't aware that military GPS jamming is extremely routine around the US. It affects airplanes more than cars because the curvature of the earth can not help you and at typical flight altitudes you have easy line of

That's an odd claim. Human failures are uncorrelated, but the Waymos all running the same software must be expected to fail in the same way, in the situations in which they fail. Which is why they often make the news; one Waymo stuck s

Prices going up 1000%? Time for maintenance! If you want to see their approach to maintenance while prices and needs are high, watch them put oil refineries back in operation days after drone hits.

And then Russia refused to install the turbine, proving it was a ploy all along. Like the maintenance in the first place. Which is why they acquired gas storage in Germany, then ran it low timed with their illegal war of aggression. This is

Yet the README is generated ("Two skills maintain the boundary in both directions.") and the demo is .. a Mobius strip? I'd prefer if you explain what it is you are building in the form of human-written text.

This is a technical problem with technical solutions. You can just fix things, you don't need to throw out 30% of your power generation to pay billions for climate change vagueposting.

Because 90% don't even do anything? It turns out it's actually one of those really annoying problems to delay cookies which were supposed to be sent already in the HTTP request response until a user interaction has happened. And o

The American LLMs have been equally distilled from Chinese ones. Not least because the people whose creativity in collecting training data barely extends to pirating Annas Archive probably lack in great Chinese datasets. Try it yourself: h

Yeah I mean this hardware isn't hard because its a fricking breadboard. (Although I spy an SD card slot, a favorite of the "hardware isn't hard" faction that will explode in their face)

Ah, the usual take. Want to sign everything before it can run, but take responsibility for nothing. And when in doubt, well, the computer did it. When do we start calling out this crap?

Vibecoded the billing system, raised revenue 9000%. Great for that promo package.

Telling American multinationals you will have them pay 0 tax isn't exactly a "tax policy" as such.

But they gave us double the tokens! Then a limited time more usage! Then even more tokens "off peak" times! Then some new model released but apparently it inherently used 1.69x tokens! Then Fable is here but "it uses much mor

You are mixing more things. There's lots of ISR drones flying around, from DJIs at 50-150m altitude to bigger fixed wing platforms at 1000-1500m. Their point is to find targets, do BDA and monitor, but not autonomously; it's guys

Yes, media see a snapdragon running a YOLO and go off writing "AI apocalypse autonomous killer drones" articles. See it for yourselves: https://x.com/RALee85/status/2071537561059692956 Some object detect

This is an odd article that tries to elevate some random grunt in the field painting their truck white stripes to grand battlefield strategy in the face of autonomous AI killer drones. Neither are the latter real nor is the former actually

Of course, this is essentially the basis of capitalism. Corporations are just people, folks, spread the knowledge and we all get richer. The best corporations I worked at had people dedicated to reverse engineering competitor products and w

Just read the post! It's essentially "we switched from Radix to Base UI". Why? "the ecosystem moved on". Nothing says braindead web frontend churn like this post, and them not having written it in the first place is
