That only activates when pressing shift five times. Which is admittedly likely when trying to press it three times in a panic But having a stray sticky keys window open is not too conspicuous

There are cables with 90° plugs (cable to the side). Those are pretty robust, get the cable out of the way more reliably, and provide a much smaller lever for physical forces on the connector. They aren't the solution for everything, b

USB A cables and ports have the inner plastic piece color coded. White for USB 1, black for USB 2, blue for USB 3 (5 Gbit/s), teal for 3.1 (10 Gbit/s). Red or yellow for always-on Blue is the only one that's actually endorsed

In the last ten years we have one (1) accidental satellite collision. In 2021 when a Chinese spy satellite in a 788km orbit collided with an old rocket stage from the 90s. There was also that Indian anti-satellite weapon hitting a microsat

And they made it really annoying to get for only one month. It's meant to be a subscription for locals That coupled with the just much nicer experience of high-speed rail (which is not included in the Deutschlandticket), I'd still

Yes, a better rubber duck is a decent description The LLM will often miss the most obvious simplifications. And if I ask it to present me with six approaches how we could solve a problem, chances are we will settle on number seven or eight,

The ability to use steering vectors seems really powerful. I know you can build your own, but are there any collections of prebuilt steering vectors? Or even just mentions of what kinds of steering vectors people are building for their own

For complex code changes or bigger features I often spend hours with an LLM refining architecture, exploring alternate directions, trying to find alternate directions in the first place, clarifying design questions, etc. It's not that

In a world where Tesla has stayed at "severely overvalued" stock prices for about a decade, with occasional crashes to just "overvalued", I'm not so sure the big AI companies really need returns that justify their s

Sub agents each have to read part of your code base again to get enough context for the task. And if they take too long, your orchestrator's context is no longer in cache so you pay full price for that again once the subagents finish I

For existing producers expanding capacity would be a risky move. But it's the perfect time for any newcomers to enter the market. Low yields and worse product don't matter as much right now, and by the time the market cools down y

GP's claim does not require two writers for false sharing. It requires two threads with either read or write access, at least of which is writing The valid criticism is that message passing also fits that definition. But assuming good

You are not really changing the license of the original work though. You are not impacting what the author or anyone else can do. You are distributing a copy under different, more restrictive terms. A bit like me buying a comic book, then o

Making a movie that has basically the same plot as a previous movie with slight changes is a common occurrence. The thing you have to be wary of with movies is trademark law. Your Star Wars copy can't use the word "Darth Vader&quo

Kids are living beings. If people don't want to hear about how they paint their car that's one thing. But if they don't want to hear any comments on how they treat a fellow human that's very concerning

Both are questionable. Tidal power is super neat in theory but we really struggle to make it viable in practice. GPUs in space are probably the lower risk option, but with even more questionable economics My preferred outlandish idea would

Don't we handle them mostly the same? In a leap year, the month of February gets a 29th day, labeled 29. On a leap second, one of the minutes gets a 61st second, labeled 60. Or we drop the 60th second, and second 58 is followed by seco

Seems like the seasonal change in June-October increased My best guess would be it's somehow related to water distribution? More water going into the atmosphere? Glaciers growing (unlikely)? Did multiple huge water reservoirs go into s

Part of Grok's value is having fewer guard rails. That's genuinely useful. Having fewer guard rails also enables bad actors to do things I don't like. That seems like an unavoidable tradeoff. Even if I wish they were more str

At work I wouldn't want to use anything else. Compared to my salary a Claude subscription (or two) is cheap For hobby projects I've completely switched to DeepSeek v4 pro. I spend less than on a $10 Claude plan and am not subjecte

Sure, but all of those used to be true of the UK too back when they were in the EU, and yet they had the good cop/bad cop roles swapped compared to Germany

Those are more like aristocracies or oligarchies than dictatorships though. Though maybe those are not the best descriptions of Iran either

That's the British approach In Germany it's usually the other way around: the EU tries to force us to do objectively good things, while national and regional governments drag their feet implementing EU law or complying with regula

But bounding boxes don't always match what you want to do visually. Often you need to align to the baseline of text instead of its bounding box. And often you need to compensate for visual weight, making things different sizes so they

Getting the pay-as-you-go plan from DeepSeek is also a good alternative. When motivation strikes you never get slowed down by quota, and it's cheap enough that even with mostly DeepSeek V4 Pro it's price-competitive with a $5&#x2F
