> No LLMs for finding bugs. If an LLM finds a bug in some code, but you fail to report it because of a project's code of conduct regarding AI, does the bug even exist at all? If you find a bug in some code, and use AI…
There is something about the gamification of social interaction which breeds a hostile community. Power hungry users chasing internet points, or moderators needlessly raising their hammer. I am not going to miss Stack…
I think anyone who has had to make a dense UI work on mobile has felt the allure of using icons as a substitute for text. It’s practically encouraged by the material guidelines. You will spend weeks/months (sigh, years)…
There are some novel ideas in here worth appreciating. The classic “time scramble” is absolutely worth considering, even in top level human play. It seems strange that even with fairly abundant datasets such as Lichess,…
It’s the insane having these discussions in 2026 given samba issues have been a thing as long I’ve been using OSX/macOS. Mixed windows/mac network shares have always been a PITA.
WebGL2 already has a compatibility layer to make it work on macOS. macOS is stuck on the 2010 vintage OpenGL 4.1 which predates even OpenGL ES 3.x on which WebGL2 is based. They use the ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics…
One thing often missed in these conversations is energy storage is not equal to generation capacity. To get solar to power a full 24 hour cycle, you need 2x the installed capacity compared to a "traditional" generator.…
That’s one way to avoid use after free bugs! Most of my initial foray in programming was on microcontrollers, of which dynamic memory allocation came late. Atmel ATMega didn’t support it at all. Rabbits supported…
> My first stab at a UX render usually sucks too, it’s the iteration that brings perfection With AI, your iteration cycle gets 10x/100x quicker. For the same developer effort, you can effectively try out 10s of ideas…
Anacdote, I have a friend who is a locksmith. I needed his services one day, gave him a call, and it turned out his day job had evolved since I last talked to him 5 years ago. Basically, he was now just a safe cracker.…
I’m not saying they are perfect, but on aggregate they are better than hardware wallets. Legally they will be responsible if your money is lost. They are about as close as you can get to the type of legal assurances…
> Needing to typedef a unique struct for every possible function return type isn't very ergonomic, but you can work around that with C23: I think you’ve unraveled the mystery of why that didn’t catch on in nearly 40…
Banks and payment providers (Visa Mastercard AMX) provide services beyond simply a store of wealth and a mechanism to transfer it. Actually 2FA, hardware biometrics, behaviour based fraud prevention and personal…
Man, the netbooks were amazing for their time, but even by 2008 standards, they were not powerful computers. At the time you needed a fairly capable gaming PC for PS2 emulation, which is a far cry from the igpu in an…
DRAM seems to sit in the economic sweet spot of density and bandwidth. I'm not sure if any other storage technology can provide non-volatile or one time programable storage with either the same density and bandwidth.…
What advantages does this provide beyond what can be achieved with Cython? People are in love with the idea of a Pythonic language with the speed of an ahead of time compiled language. The issue is without 100%…
With an open set of weights, fixed seeds and parameters, recorded inputs and feedback loops, the entire AI decision making process is auditable. It also lends itself nicely for the ability to adjust the AI systems when…
A lot of the conversations around AI in the past years have been “we will delegate almost all work to AI, but the most decisions will be left to humans.” I’m fairly confident that the opposite will be true. The most…
You can patent a black mirror episode?
Small business, but basically everyone gets a card. We do not have a procurement department, so we are responsible for our spending. The card is in our name so we would be legally responsible for any purchases made…
It hasn’t provided direct URLs for decades? Not exactly new behaviour. I’ve got something that will blow your mind. Google now has tracking analytics, for get this, your business’s phone number. Some “Adsense partner”…
I just find this an interesting comment. Having an electrical engineers education, there is this interesting repetition of formula which is unmistakable. First you learn the physical equations, mostly applied to sound…
Fellow excited. Sol has been revolutionary for me. It’s been the first time I’ve let a model “go ham” on a production code base and it actually worked, and also didn’t bankrupt my company in the process. I’m far more…
Tahoe has destroyed macOS performance. I’m running a maxed out last gen intel and was getting stuttering and slide showing straight out of the update. It was completely unusable until I turned on reduced transparency.…
Look to Australia if you want to see how these energy policies work out in the long run. Energy is big money. Anything that disrupts the status quo is immediately vilified. It got to the point that our major party at…
