This is an underappreciated point when people talk about AI/chat integrations. If they put a claude-level model behind it, I'm sure it could resolve 99% of the situations faster an…

On the other hand, there are vastly fewer rich people than poor, so for many things it doesn't matter if they can pay the fine. If only millionaires were littering, the streets wou…

It's very difficult to do it smoothly with no downtime, but all it takes is one emergency for the existing workflows to be thrown out. Companies suffer emergencies and data losses …

It still has much better latency than modern NVMEs and much, much better write endurance (probably not critical for AI workloads)

I think the only significant mistake was having both prefix and postfix operators for types. If they all neatly sat on one side there would be no problem.

There seems to be a severe lack of hash pinning in "modern" software ecosystems. We figured out how to do it 20+ years ago with Git bringing hash addressed storage to the masses. C…

Probably something on your end, it is using a normal letsencrypt cert

I expected this to be a font which shuffles characters and glyphs (requiring more effort to type it) resulting in nonsensical text but visually readable page.

Yeah I have some devices that expect the manufacturer charger (I guess it's pre-negotiated to 19V or something) and I'm not even sure what was the point in giving it a USB C connec…

Does the server also handle TLS internally, or is it behind a proxy? For comparison, statically linked darkhttpd is around 138K

This is true but I can do the same on free ChatGPT without even logging in. I wouldn't pay $5 a month for that functionality, much less $20 (or >$1000 to be able to run it at home)…

If you're already losing and losses are capped past some point (worst case just kill yourself), high stakes gambling is quite logical. Of course in reality, gamblers are rarely dri…

When we talk about "E2EE" messenger apps, that usually means more than just using HTTPS. VPNs can certainly help with encryption in transit, but that's a very different concept. Un…

How are VPNs related to end-to-end encryption?

Hah, someone from UK seems to have a camera pointing to his cannabis plants... Hopefully the guy has a "loicense" for that, otherwise it would be a hilarious way to get busted

Isn't consulting one of the most high-margin areas in general?

Right up there with fun, safe math optimizations

I believe 32-bit was chosen partially due to implementation efficiency reasons. It makes sense because you can allocate a 4GB mapping, so there is no need for a second software vir…

For a moment I thought this was another case of AI psychosis, like the post from week ago about the "content-addressed lattice heap" but this is actually pretty neat.

Ironically news outlets like to use the phrasing you rightfully point out as absurd. Not sure if they just do it randomly or only when they get orders to push a certain narrative. …

Don't most companies have a Git repo for skills that you can pull?

Because it costs money? Believe it or not, most places don't pay you 6 digit salaries for shuffling around YAML.

It is a fantastic init system/service supervisor. My problem with it is basically everything else. I think its developers see systemd as central to the entire system, basically the…

SDL is a relatively high level API and framebuffer style graphics work fine on it. I think there are some edge cases for X11 with non-compositing window manager where you will get …

Yes, only... 25m? You must have a bigger room than I do :)
