It's cute, but I say: why the lack of ambition? Make it: from the transistor to the LLM, in 13 weeks. Week 13 is for building a GPU, learning linear algebra, creating a large text corpus, implementing tensor flow, and training the mode

I think it was a joke. The style, clearly, almost pedantically stating an annoyance as fact, does suggest that.

It’s the US style, which has made its way across the pond too: you have to make upbeat noises to remove any suspicion you’re criticizing.

Airdrop works. Ok, it's platform bound, but I'm sure it could be ported. It's not such a big thing, though. I hardly use it, and young people don't seem to use it either. The stuff on their phone and laptop seem separate

I think it feels off because an HTML file can include scripts, fonts, images, videos, styles, and probably a few other things. But not HTML. It can probably be coded with a custom element (<include src=.../>). I would be surprise

Hold your horses. The summary of that article does not offer any proof of what the title says. * It's a small sample, and they did not analyze the people who didn't complete the course. That's dubious. Those 6 could have had

According to the docs, NSNotificationCenter already was present in Mac OS X 10.0. It seems to be present in NextSTEP 3.3, which was released in 1995 ( http://www.cilinder.be/docs/next/NeXTStep/3.3/nd/

Quoting a parvenu like Yarvin is a sign of fanaticism. He sounds like a teenager on weed. The only reason he's gotten into the limelight is because some powerful people aligned with Project 2025 agree with him, and needed some philosop

Good art requires a huge reservoir of artists. When AI music drives musicians out of work, it shrinks the reservoir, thus leading to lesser art.

People have said that about robots and computers in the workplace, and indeed, since the 60s, more and more jobs have been automated. And there are less musicians now. Film scores and albums are produced with samples instead of bands or orc

No, it isn't, but that's perhaps the point: it's so direct. It rarely gets in the way. Sure, some things are easier done in emacs, but that's when you just copy the text to emacs, do your thing, and copy it back. What VS

Fortune 500? More like Fortune 50000 (ok, exaggeration). But there are so many banks in the world, and their automation can run back to the 1950s. They are only slowly moving away from mainframes, if only because a rewrite of a complex syst

Small, but significant point: you can easily avoid the new behavior. IIRC, if you had a pre-1.22 project, and didn't change anything, it still compiles as before. So if you relied on that behavior (which would be very weird, but who kn

Isn't that overly optimistic? The postgres source code is really complex, and reading a dummy tutorial isn't going to make you a database engine ninja. If a simple tutorial can, imagine what a book on the topic could do.

That has a lot of overtones. If this is truly based on some weird psycho-acoustic effect, a piano tone might not work.

It's a sine (or sine-like) sound at a low pitch (around G2). Our ears aren't great at those frequencies, and the speaker you use might be bad at that range too. It's a bass frequency, but most bass sounds have a lot of overto
