I'm pretty sure the piece is a commentary on the recent phenomenon of people of a right-wing political orientation hanging up the England flag everywhere , to the consternation of local governments who have to spend money taking them

Presumably for outdoors or home deployment. The world is designed for bipedal locomotion, and human bipedal locomotion is designed for the world. But yes, for a factory or commercial environment it doesn't make too much sense. It would

YAML is one of the worst technologies ever invented, it has more warts than features. One of the benefits of LLMs is that they can write YAML for me, wherever I am forced to use it. Otherwise, I like the idea of machine-readable specs.

It's a weird halfway house. I had a cheap Casio fx calculator. It got me all the way through my exams in school and university. I had Mathematica at home. While I can see that being very good on a TI-84 would help you complete exams fa

Which top 10 are you talking about? If you mean the top absolute geekbench scores, those are always with the assistance of cryogenic cooling.

Not just OpenClaw. The Mac mini is just stupidly good value for a desktop computer, and the RAM prices have only enhanced its appeal. Apple doesn't make much of a fuss about it but their chip performance is laughably ahead of the other

Indeed, I also use LLMs to suggest dependencies but: - I ask the LLM for multiple options - I tell it what I need and what I don't need - I then look at the packages it has suggested. Sometimes LLMs suggest unmaintained packages with 5

FWIW left-pad was not an attack, it was a bug in NPM. It should not be possible to unpublish package versions that are depended on by other published packages. On the other hand, it should be possible to unpublish certain package versions t

It's a commercial entity that is within EU jurisdiction, whereas Signal is within US jurisdiction. The distinction is important if for example a hostile country were to invade the territory of an EU member state, let's say a large

Political ads would destroy the value proposition. That would be an incredibly short-sighted move. Chats with LLMs are often intensely personal, you don't want to create the perception that politicians have any level of access to it.

It depends on what level of creative control you had over the code. Code is protected by copyright as a literary work. The method is not protected by copyright, that would be the domain of patents. What's protected are the words. If

That actually makes it more confusing since a 25 year old PHP application is exactly where you'd expect to find SQL injection vulnerabilities. If I were in charge of a 25 year old PHP application, tracking down every SQL query and conv

It's one of two identified uses for AI that is profitable today: writing code and blowing up schools. They are desperate to show the market that the technology is anything more than a money pit.

Regarding B, why would you create your sock puppets in the US instead of in some developing country where everything is a lot cheaper? If they are using it for 2FA it's likely for some US-only service.

While SVG is a web technology, for the longest time you had to install SVG support as a browser plug-in. I remember installing Adobe SVG viewer around 2000. It was used for interactive visualizations. I'm don't remember precisely

There are ways to patch around arbitrary "unsupported" status. What tends to reduce the real support time is the hardware itself (e.g. non-Metal supporting GPUs). However, M series SoC are likely to have support for a very long ti

I don't understand the premise. Who is letting "agents" run arbitrary SQL against their database without human review? Before redesigning your database, consider seeing a psychiatrist.

I got it and I'm on a residential internet connection with a normal web browser. I have no idea what signal they're using but it's not working.

Brave still supports UBo though. How long they can maintain that support is an open question.

It's not clear to me that one horse-sized AI allows you to outcompete 100 duck-sized AIs in use by everyone else once you factor in the non-intelligence contributions that the others with weaker AIs bring to the table. There's a l

Imagine such an AI exists. What good is AI that is so good that you cannot sell API access because it would help others to build equivalently powerful AI and compete with you? If you gatekeep, you will not make back the money you invested.

Before the AI bubble that will burst any time now, there was the AI winter that would magically arrive before the models got good enough to rival humans.

What the axios attack shows is that even if you stick to sensible, popular packages you can still get pwned if you are not following best practices: set a min age, don't npm install except from a lock file, preferably work in a VM, e

Apple is held to a different standard. Tahoe is bad because it's ugly and has inconsistent corner radii. Meanwhile Windows has multiple critical issues e.g. Windows update induced instability. Apple's hardware and silicon division

Equities as large as Apple act as stores of value like gold, so it could just mean there's more money to be invested. You would need to compare Apple against what happened to the market in general.

Why waste space for gaskets and o-rings when you can already get the battery changed out while you wait with glue? Glue is clearly the superior method, which is why almost the entire market has adopted it. Heat pads exist even in the most b

I don't see what change they can make, at least to an iPhone. The glue is necessary for water resistance.

Comparing sound to light of any frequency is wrong. Light causes damage at a chemical level: heat, photochemical and ionization. It damages our cells. While light carries energy, it must interact with our tissue to deposit that energy and t
