I’ve often wondered about die thinning. I mean just looking at sd cards and micro sd etc, it was clear that there had to be a thinning step (or many steps) and it seemed amazing to me that such a complex step could be economically viable. A

The problem I’m finding, at least with today’s models, is that it produces disposable software. It’s not good at making well-architected, durable software. Stuff that could be maintained and bug-fixed. I mean you can get good stuff out of i

Given the absurd commit messages I see, basically along the lines of “oops” “lmao” “wtf” I don’t see the issue.

I wish all this shit would just stop trying to search as I’m fucking typing. It’s like that person we all know that can’t hold their tongue for five fucking seconds and let you finish a sentence before the blurt something out.

It works fine for me but my wife has this exact problem. It’s absolutely mystifying how something so basic could get so messed up.

Hell yes. The risk of abuse is absurdly small. I drive too even though there is a risk of death. The juice is worth the squeeze. Except even armed with positive identification, the police won’t do anything. Laws with enforcement are worth

We talked about them in my neighborhood mainly because of package theft. If I ever thought there was a real chance of enforcement action, I’d be in favor.

When I lived in FLA and it was super easy to get a concealed weapon permit. I carried a gun not infrequently just to exercise that right. I was serious about training with it as well. The other states I’ve lived in haven’t been so straight

I would expect it happens more organically where people’s discussion of the benchmark and posted results find their way into the training data, like anything else on the internet.

CLI is preferred from my point of view if only because it's the supported standard interface. VSCode's version control interface is reasonably close to a standard, and I love the tree view there. But generally I don't want

That must be what I was remembering. Thanks for the link.

Sonic Pi was done in clojure once upon a time. Looks like ruby now?

I was a skeptic until a few months ago. It’s my daily driver now. I’ve got sizable amount of people committing to the same repo, many are not skilled with git. So I deal with weird crazy “how did you ever get the repo into this state” iss

This is interesting and I think the analogy to playing a song in your head is a good one. With regard to how visual the minds eye is, I have this anecdata: For me, when I’m visualizing mentally, usually with a memory, replaying something, I

I must be the only person in the world that thinks so many of these fonts are casually indistinguishable. I feel like I’m reading reviews of wines. This font has chocolatey overtones that bring the reader to a meditative state of hyperflow.

Not when you consider the sheer amount of compute to calculate a single token. Today, at least. Maybe if we have some breakthrough in how to get equivalent ai capacity out of less compute it’ll seem crazy in retrospect. But the magnitude of

It's all about the test suite. The test suite becomes an executable specification, and the better the spec, the better the results you can get from AI.

4 years seems like a long time, but I'd easily say that's true for a year. I suppose it's relative to your definition of good. In my industry, 2 years is about what it takes to feel the ramifications for your bad decisions.

They charged for the operating system. The first MacOS X was $130.

Yeah the app store really has turned into a wasteland of shit. I don't think a $2000 fee would change that. People scamming with the $79 weekly subscription for junk make a lot more than that in the blink of an eye.

Why? Android has 72% of the market in 2025. As an individual company Apple has 20% of the market. Samsung has 19%. Just don't buy an iphone and move on with your life.

Something like TLA is to prove the design of an algorithm is what you intended. Proving a specific implementation in a specific language is really the domain of that language or tools targeting that language. In digital design for example,

It's the kind of overstated unjustified claim an LLM would make.
