I'd be interested to hear why your app will beat others in performance. Looking at the repo, it seems to be electron-based, so it's not obvious to me on why I should try it, if I'm looking for responsiveness. Edit: had a clos

FWIW, today's puzzle seems particularly straightforward. I've since tried a few of the earlier ones, and sometimes was on the wrong side of the country altogether for the first try.

Downloaded Chitty, entered API key, clicked "Alan Turing", crash. Do you want me to send the crash report somewhere?

Downloaded, saw "Sign in to start your free trial", which turned me off immediately unfortunately. So I'm probably not the intended audience - I'd like to have a fast, reliable Mac UI to use with my OpenAI API key. So fa

Got within 75 miles on the first try, even though I have only been to the US once in my life (and nowhere near there). Of course that’s partially just a lucky guess. But it made me ponder the giant influence of American TV and movies on my

Neat indeed. 3 * 2 ^ {0, 0, 6, 7} - 1 And all of them are palindromes.

292,612 is not an interesting number, it's not contained in any known integer sequence. The search in OEIS only brings up sequence A292612 ( https://oeis.org/search?q=292612&fmt=data&sort=number ).

Isn't faking user activity how reddit originally started out, so that's very on brand? On a more serious note, I'd be super interested to know how high the percentage reddit users who don't speak any English is. And how

They’ll just slap two cameras spaced an eye distance apart on the back of the next iPhone Pro and bam, you can record your kids with your socially acceptable handheld device. Still won’t need to play with them though.

I don’t think that is necessarily true. There’s two payed tiers of the app, and they seem to sell at least well enough to support the development of the app.

Don’t these machines have read speeds of like 5000 MB/s? So just read the 9 GB blockwise and apply a super simple hash. Should be done in two seconds.

Thank you! The Bloomberg article piqued my interest, but it is actually very light on the details of the LAION project - it quickly moved into the same old license and bias discussions and left me wanting. Your interview is much more intere

64e6^(1/3) = 400, in case you were wondering. So I would take it that clinical MRI voxels measure 2 mm (400 * 5 um) usually? The article does a really bad job at explaining the number from their headline.

It's too bad that the Czech train hack doesn't seem to work any more: There's a train from Berlin to Prague that stops in Dresden. It used to be much cheaper to book the trip Berlin-Dresden with České dráhy, compared to the p

Interesting, thanks! What I described didn’t need a shortcut before. It was a vanilla iOS feature. I assume it went away for privacy reasons with one of the OS updates. And hoped there’d be a setting to get it back.

Tangentially related, something that has slightly inconvenienced me a few times: Can someone point me to a setting to get Siri to show me my passwords again, on iOS 16? Before, I could ask on an unlocked phone to “show me my password for Gi

Are diffs really the best we can do though? Can't we come up with a better model of interaction? I find that looking at code and looking at diffs are different mental modes, for lack of a better word. For me, parsing diffs seems to eng

Signing up for the technical preview of Copilot Chat also worked as expected, it was just a checkmark and a button on github.com, not even an oauth dialog.

What I'd love to see in the future is a proper refactoring UX. This new chat interface is probably a good start, as it seems able to replace code blocks in your original source file. But most code changes in the real world require chan
