Being more forgiving of software in the past and judging current software by a higher bar is just another way of saying that software was worse in the past. I agree that we have huge advantages today. I agree that the…
> No browser had tab isolation. In fact, no browser had tabs. The article mentions Windows XP which certainly had IE with tabs but the problem predates that. Earlier versions of Windows (95, 98, 2000) featured a single…
You skipped mentioning the first problem listed: that computers used to crash all the time. Software in general used to be much less stable. For example, browsers didn't always have tab isolation. A single bad site…
On OpenRouter, GLM 5.3 Flash costs $0.0285 for 1M input tokens and $0.0923 for 1M output tokens. [1] [1] https://openrouter.ai/z-ai/glm-5.3-flash
A note, I found that many of the descriptions in "Did you know" include the place name. That is to say, I saw many many descriptions with the phrase "located in $CITY, $STATE, United States". As all points are within a…
What is your current phone?
Pixel phones have an unlocked bootloader. One can load GrapheneOS onto those phones without needing to jailbreak them. Even without flashing a new OS, one can install third party app stores (e.g. F-Droid) with open…
True, I should have specified that this applies to the parent comment's request for color pigments.
My understanding is that they run quite a few meetups [1]. I am not sure what you mean by "apathetic about tech in general" but my experience has been that folks who go to makerspaces are excited about making things in…
You can buy a 13" color e-ink display for ~$250, or a 7" e-ink display for ~$60. These can be placed in a frame for a couple bucks more [2]. Two things that I did not anticipate: 1: Refresh time is a lot longer for…
Have you looked into a local makerspace (e.g. Maker Nexus)?
Rooftop solar generally requires professional installation. Balcony solar, as discussed in the article, does not require professional installation and simply plugs directly into an outlet.
That defeats the purpose of using the Claude subscription.
That's what I thought after he lost in 2020. And yet he came back in 2024 winning even more votes, both in absolute terms and in percentage, than he did in either 2016 or 2020.
A "coherent" is not the same as "comparable to non-self-published authors". Early LLMs were trivially non-coherent. The stories it wrote should shift constantly. The story could start on the moon, then the character…
There is a quote from a CGP Grey video from a bit over a decade ago, "There isn't a rule of economics that says better technology makes more, better jobs for horses. It sounds shockingly dumb to even say that out loud,…

Do you see the terms, "10x, 20x, or 25x"? If so, where? I don't see any of those terms. Not even on the signed in page to upgrade to to a different Pro plan. The plans I see are labeled, "Pro 100", "Pro 200", and "Pro…
I believe the comment you are replying to is suggesting that a Democratic President could label Palantir a supply chain risk. If: 1. The designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk is politically motivated 2. We…
Did tariffs raise prices? Or did prices stay the same because "if the market demand is such that it allows them to raise [prices], they'd already have done it"?
There is no lock in. Anyone with sufficient budget can download the weights for GLM 5.3. On OpenRouter, I count 29 different providers for this model [1]. In terms of purely local LLMs, one can run GLM 5.3 flash on a…
Agreed, move selection was not great. Notably, it should not have allowed nxe7+. However, the pawn was defended by the queen and it took a forced queen trade to unlock the move. I have seen much worse blunders from…
It looks like it played a fully legal game of chess with one exception, it said "rxd1+" (Rook takes D1 with check) instead of "rd1+" (Rook to D1 with check) on move 29. I would say this did a really good job of playing…
