I did a project on Windows 3.1 a few months back for fun. Borland C++ is still out there on abandonware websites.
Yeah, I know Kent is a very respected developer with a long and celebrated career. But I did not like the attitude of this article at all. I’m a principal engineer. I have an obligation to less experienced engineers I…
Apple just dropped the 128GB option as well.
This is so strange. I do a ton of RE with Claude, Codex, and sometimes Deepseek, GLM, and Kimi. I don’t have difficulty getting any of them to use IDA or otherwise decompile things. There is one important difference,…
I’m assuming they mean social engineering, and not “How would a gay person say their credit card number?”
I have wondered if that’s why Grok seems so weird and dim-witted compared to better models. Part of my job involves comparing the behavior of various models. Grok is a deeply weird model. It doesn’t refuse to respond as…
Because they’re not really trying to protect kids.
Not sure if I’m misunderstanding your claim. A string does vibrate as the sum of the string’s harmonics. That’s how pinch harmonics work, and they wouldn’t work if that wasn’t the case. You poke a spot where a given…
A ham sandwich has some strong qualities. I’m not kidding. The president would do basically nothing for four years, which would cause some things to move slowly. But it would be a very stable environment. No random…
But what if it didn’t summarize Harry Potter? What if it analyzed Harry Potter and came back with a specification for how to write a compelling story about wizards? And then someone read that spec and wrote a different…
Yeah, spatial reasoning has been a weak spot for LLMs. I’m actually building a new code exercise for my company right now where the candidate is allowed to use any AI they want, but it involves spatial reasoning. I ran…
I had an issue with one of my Sprites (Fly.io also runs sprites.dev) and the CEO responded to me personally in less than 10 minutes. They got it fixed quickly. I was a free customer at the time. I pay for it happily now.
Sure, that’s one solution. You could also Isle of Dr Moreau your way to a pelican that can use a regular bike. The sky is the limit when you have no scruples.
Ironically, I find LLMs far better at helping me dive into unfamiliar code than at writing it. A few weeks ago a critical bug came in on a part of the app I’d never touched. I had Claude research the relevant code while…
It’s been a lot of fun watching her subscriber count go through the roof. She’s outrageously talented. It’s also funny because usually it’s hard to reproduce what a musician does. I can listen to someone play guitar,…
Why would you pay for a meal you could make at home? Because I have neither the time nor inclination to make it at home right now. I have other stuff I need to do.
How long until the marketing geniuses at Microsoft launch “Copilot Copilot for Copilot?”
I’ve seen experienced software developers make impressive stuff with AI. I haven’t seen anything interesting made with AI by non-developers. They make a landing page or something. It’s just… barely anything. It’s a…
I was the first dev at my current company to experiment with Claude Code back when it first came out. Some of my coworkers tried it, and some didn’t like it at all. But now literally all of us are using it. The company…
> I can't think of a single time where having someone else review my work or give me feedback is a meaningfully bad thing I have ample examples, unfortunately. I had a coworker whom I liked as a person, but had a nasty…
As a musician, this happens to me as well. If I hear a piece of music in a noisy environment my brain will fill in the gaps. I’ll think, “Wow, this music is really interesting.” Then I’ll hear it in a quiet environment…
Before the ACA, insurance companies were allowed to have these things called “lifetime limits.” Basically, once your healthcare got expensive, they could just cut you off and say they wouldn’t cover you any further. And…
So many distortion pedals use an op amp to run a signal into antiparallel diodes to create distortion. I’ve spent a few weeks trying to emulate it, and it’s a lot of fun. Different flavors of diode make significant…
AKA the culture of “Why is AWS down again?”
This is a delightfully horrible idea. Well played.
