It’s absurd that openai managed to spin their cybersecurity failures, where their own security is not good enough to make sure their own product doesn’t go haywire, as a marketing success. When a company uses its…
I’ve had good results with JetBrains AiChat in that really integrates in their IDEs - you can see it using ide tools and i generally found it spends less time thrashing about compared to Claude.
I mean… they still make sublime text. Works great.
There’s an interesting study to be made on whether there was a reduction in insurance claim rejections in the aftermath, and what the morbidity/mortality impact was.
To the surprise of no one who’s doing any teaching these days.
i.e. it's one AI company that's basically guaranteed to never fail since it has a market niche guaranteed by European companies and governments.
I have written software that saves files and saves to standard geopackage formats. Microsoft is known to have a lot of inconsistencies between its spec and reality. One important part of adoption open standards formats…
This is not true. In my company I decided we would not depend on Microsoft products. We use kSuite that offers everything MS does, ~90% cheaper. The one real problem we run into is PowerPoint decks that look different…
You know it's an India focused device when the top selling point is "Check the cricket results" ;)
Ksuite is literally a google workspace competitor nothing unfocused about that. My company uses them for everything works well.
The idea that science progresses by lone wolf geniuses disrupting the status quo is simply false. It makes a good story for low budget documentaries, but it is basically never true.
Many of the dumb ideas being hyped in this AI bubble make sense viewed through this lens. Data centres stirring up opposition? Sell a sci-fi vision that you will move them to Space! And reassure your over-extended…
The problem in practice is that quickly one merges into the other. You start with a markdown readme, then you have markdown documentation for a small project. But then one day you need full documentation for your…
Sqlite is a great bit of technology but sometimes I read articles like this and think, maybe they should have used postgres. I you don’t specifically need the “one file portability” aspect of sqlite, or its not embedded…
Thats the very definition of “anecdata”. (Anecdotes you mistake for representative data)
As European it really struck me how poor the second hand ev market must be in the US. For the “cheap second hand car to do short distances” we have a lot of options really cheap - older gen Renault Zoe and Peugeot…
The lengths people go to not to make walkable cities (and insulated buildings, fast trains.. you know, all the stuff that actually exists and works)
"The future is..." well it might be until the next fashion change comes about.
This will happen for sure. Designs are fashions that come and go, like jeans that go from skinny to baggy and back again. I don't think anything is absolute, tastes change and people get used to just about anything, and…
Did my phd around that time and did a project “scaling” my work on a spark cluster. Huge pita and no better than my local setup which was an MBP15 with pandas a postgres (actually I wrote+contributed a big chunk of…
Finance bro decides tweets are better evidence than physics… nothing to see here
Hardly surprising that an administration that built its brand on “post truth” has no interest in the good functioning of academic research
Seems like a lot of effort to go to rather than just use Firefox or Safari...
When the industry is all about the myth of the trendy tech founder, of course the ones who succeed are the con-men and fabulists. All jobs and no woz indeed
there is also not that much money in the state run that the majority of people education follow. Teacher salaries are already squeezed. Its ironic, everyone says get a good education, old grumps complain the kids don’t…
