This smacks of sensationalism - we are talking very local temperatures, not like, the metro area went from 100 highs in summer to 116 because of a DC. And the “16” number was one specific DC in one study, and we don’t know what were the con

Author clearly has a wealth of real experience, but I have trouble reconciling some of it to the “real world.” Supposing that you have “too many” messages in your queue, commanding your frontend client to retry its transaction that would’ve

The controversy elsewhere in these comments is over whether it’s recording, and the server is slurping up, the video footage, during AR mode. We know they do so on the “scans” they have you do, where you walk around something taking video,

Who will be doing that? Only a small minority of developers pre-ai cared to attempt using HTML, so I don’t see them urging Claude to create efficient and lean websites in the future either.

Unfortunately the LLMs are trained on what we've made, and there's going to be a ton more React garbage[1] in the training set than there are carefully-crafted websites like the article describes, so I don't expect a decrease

If it makes you feel better, consider that it also contains all plausible and implausible falsehoods about your demise as well.

I don't think I have any beef with what you're pointing out - I was only saying that I don't think the Radxa products' pricing are demonstrating anything too shocking about the Rpi products' pricing. I personally wo

It's worse (in terms of complexity and therefore chances of arriving at justice). From the article: July 7, 1999 – A granted the land to (T) Texas Parks and Recreation Foundation, a public trust, for $10 on the condition it be used as

Four of those would be $280 though, so this doesn't seem hilariously out of scale with that.

This is hilarious considering you can easily[1] get a whole ARM laptop with 16GB for $425 all day, and that will also include a screen, keyboard, trackpad, battery, and storage. I first checked for Mac Minis and interestingly they are much

JPL has been around for over 80 years now -- I'm not sure that assuming basic familiarity with it, among people who would care about the Curiosity rover, is even a controversial choice, let alone 'substandard' writing. I thin

It hurts to have all this control stripped away. Once upon a time, you bought iLife (suite of iPhoto, iMovie, etc) on a CD or DVD and installed it. Today, you physically cannot delete the Photos app no matter what. On my work computer, wher

When you realize that in some languages, for instance, in Spanish, double-negatives are not just tolerated, but correct, it helps you to let go of this particular type of pedantry when it accidentally appears in an English sentence.

Apple may have a true argument that their version of “AI” is currently the least privacy-problematic, but it’s not a compelling one. First of all, it sets an awkward precedent. This special status is mostly based on vibes, and on how we

Ignoring your silly hyperbole— Yes, it is harder to support APIs compared to… only having a completely closed system. It would take a trillion dollar company to have the kind of resources that kind of thing would take. The fact Apple thinks

I have to agree with the proposition that if you are aiming for the performant, no frills deal - and the aesthetic certainly telegraphs this - you really do not need client-side render, nor overengineered frontend frameworks like React &amp

Can't even get that right sometimes. A few weeks ago I somehow accidentally activated Siri and it decided that what I wanted was for it to play some kind of terrifying industrial electronic noise music that scared my kid.

I think Shortcuts has a few massive flaws that would give me pause enshrining it as middleware for an important thing like a "mainstream OpenClaw". 1 is performance. It's slow. You can run one within the app and literally wat
