I feel the deepest existential pain in my heart that despite companies being 'all in' on AI, they can't integrate anything meaningful that would make sense to the end use, but would require even a braincells worth of mental e

When this was a thing that people used, there were tons of free services (in the style of geocities) that offered the same basic functionality (often with a paid tier that was a bit more functional). They gave you a sub url, like mypage.hos

The most horrible thing I have seen with AI in coding is that it tends to add vestigial bits of code for no reason - this or that class that nobody uses at no point in the commit history, or stuff that gets added, then we decide to implemen

I'm not quite up to date what LFP batteries cost nowadays, but I remember it's in the $70ish range - so for a respectable 80kWh, it'd only cost $5.6k out of the total. Considering you can get something like a new Corolla for

I know some pretty sharp folks who fork for various police departments chasing illicit crypto related activity. The amount of stuff they can track including timing of transactions, entry and exit points, etc, and so over a long period of ti

Can't anyone basically sanction entire wallets, and mark them, and make some legislation that any transaction involving coins originating from those wallets be rejected by all payment processors and exchanges in regulated markets? I me

I think there's a good parallel with AI images - generating pictures has gotten ridiculously easy and simple, yet producing art that is meaningful or wanted by anyone has gotten only mildly easier. Despire the explosion of AI art, the

Does the EU do anything right? Example - the GDPR is so ridiculously easy to maliciously comply with - just say you need the data for security reasons, and you need all the data all the time - otherwise you can't catch the bad guys. Th

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a better solution. I think while radar might have a worse spatial resolution, it's depth perception, speed measurement capability, and general robustness to adverse weather might make it a bette

From the article: > pricing below US $200. That’s less than half of typical prices now, and it’s not even the full extent of the company’s ambition. This means there are sensors available for like $500 or more. At 4 per car, this is sti

Isn't the reason companies are doing this because they're offering tokens at a discount, provided they're spent through their tooling? Considering the tremendous amount of tokens OpenClaw can burn for something that has nothi

My experiments using a more hands off approach of prompting claude code have always resulted in a two-steps-forward-one-step-back play, where the agent clearly did some good stuff, but did some other stuff in a somewhat undesirable manner,

It's a RAM issue all right - browsers are set up in a multiprocess manner to allow sharing resources between tabs while sandboxing every single one. So the footprint of the whole browser might be heavy, but each individual tab (origin)

My favourite 'thing' in the modern world is that 'we don't process and store your data' has taken to mean - 'we don't process and store your data - our partner does'. Which might not even be stated ex

I don't know why anyone uses Tauri - disk space is cheap but having to handle QA and supporting quirks for every possible browser engine the users' system could ship with certainly is not.

I think these pictures are a perfect and accessible metaphor for the problems of vibecoding slop and asking an actual engineer to fix it. The end results evokes a sense of unease even in laymen, and the more you know about the subject matte

This is just a theory of mine, but the fact that people don't see LLMs as something that will grow the pie and increase their output leading to prosperity for all just means that real economic growth has stagnated. From all my interact

I think AI has no moral compass, and optimization algorithms tend to be able to find 'glitches' in the system where great reward can be reaped for little cost - like a neural net trained to play Mario Kart will eventually find all

.NET Framework is a Windows system component, but it's been deprecated and Microsoft is moving away from it. The modern .NET ships as either a downloadable runtime/SDK, or can be bundled with your application, meaning your app has

this seems to be the same approach I saw with other SDKs (for example Qt), which I wrote about in my previous post - the official versions ship half the userland dependencies in a directory under /opt/ and use some scripts (chroot

I wonder if this was the true message of the Claude C compiler - not that Claude can clone a compiler, but that Anthropic has built a harness, which it can use to observe the behavior and outputs of an existing program (GCC) - it can recrea

My 2 cents: I am not an experienced React dev, but the React compiler came out recently with React 19, which is supposed to do the same thing as Svelte's - eliminate unnecessary DOM modifications by explicitly tracking which components

The closest thing I saw to this was some vendors shipping their SDKs with half the desktop userland (in a similar 'blob' fashion the post complains about), with shell scripts setting up paths so that their libs and tools are found

What we did for out build agents was to just install the required version of build tools via chocolatey. But cool approach!

Note that this also doesn't work on Linux - your system's package manager probably has no idea how to install and handle having multiple versions of packages and headers. That's why docker build environments are a thing - eve
