I had to use sqlite once for something that would do a ton of read queries on a particular table. Sometimes just swapping the order of operands to an and operation generated a completely different query plan. Had to scour their optimizer do

What money? Aren't most (all?) AI companies are operating at a loss?

my bank offers phone banking. Which involves you speaking a pin over an ordinary insecure phone call.

one line of code takes up exactly one line of text on screen. of which I have about 80, and I use two columns. A visual language necessarily takes up more space. I fail to see how a less efficient visual representation helps us look at more

so, not even one year? How is that "long term"? I've had my phone for 3 years

this is pretty much a necessity sometimes. I was writing an audio synthesizer in c# and this is exactly what I had to do. Allocate whatever I need up front and ban the new keyword from then on. Not that different to c++ had I chosen that in

a lot more broken software. Companies release broken software intentionally just to be quick to market. Now can you imagine the same, but the "engineers" literally cannot make the product better even if they wanted to. They never

a properly written requirements spec is something that doesn't exist in the vast majority of cases.

Well, the problem is probably that it is in userspace in the first place.

Gigabit fiber internet is quite cheap and increasingly available (I'm not from the US). I don't just use the internet over a 4/5g connection. This definitely affects more people than you think.

meaningless is good. You can take one look and discard it. The problem is that you can't trust there aren't subtle errors though. So you still need to go everything with a fine toothed comb. If you don't, you're just sit

don't imagine a ball spinning. Imagine a spinning top. It acts as a gyroscope. When a force is applied to it it tries to resist it, but it also causes precession. The equations for that precession can be used for electrons in a particu

the wasm-js bridge is quite slow. because wasm is a 2nd class citizen. It's not about which language you write, per se. You wrote those parts in go. Great! Those parts slower because of it, due to this.

so the fact that it's watermarked literally means it was tampered with to produce some form of predetermined output. No other way to do it. And because they are entirely uncontrollable they have to add a lot of checks in the prompts. b

ai is very rapidly hitting a plateau, both because they are just glorified markov chains, and them running out of data anyway

the problem is that because it's js, it's much slower than it can be.

your code is not manipulating dom. your code is interacting with a library that manipulates the dom. That library has to interface with javascript. You are still doing all dom manipulation via js, it's just hidden behind the library.

There's tons of ways to exfiltrate data from air gapped systems, if you can manage to get something installed in them. Ones I've read about are by toggling the caps lock led and recording it with a camera. Encoding data into the c

They keep building the same thing, but bigger. It keeps exhibiting the exact same issues. It is a bubble because it is very clear that the tech is hitting a dead end.

$99 for a 30 month prescription. So it's priced way higher than a full AAA game, but you only keep it for a month. So even worse than a digital purchase.

qr codes can store binary data. Base-64 is for stuff that can only store text. It otherwise wastes 2 bits per byte (25%)

the part about right shift not being equivalent to a division by 2 even if sign bits are copied didn't really convince me. -1/2 = -0.5 floor of that is -1. -1 >> 1 == -1 What's the issue? It's integers. The floor i

Those weren't problems that needed solving. They are just the features that the software implements. What I mean is that if it did solve a problem, it'd be used more widely. It offers some features that aren't really all that

it's where the security boundary is. The system should protect me from unwanted software getting on the system. Once a piece of software starts running, I do want to give it full access to the system. If not, I'll run it in a cont
