Tao can use LLMs on his own terms, on his conditions. Under those circumstances, it's an absolutely fantastic tool. In an enterprise, everyone gets to use LLMs. Everyone can create…

Possibly just a case of having seen "AI-language" too often and just starting to use it themselves?

Honestly we should define 80% as the new "100%" on such batteries and label "charging to full" as "overcharging". Psychologically, people understand charging a battery to "125%" (o…

No nagware but, at least on the machines of my colleagues, an even worse enemy: Microsoft Defender with all the checkboxes ticked. Grinds the machine to an absolute halt for any de…

As an avid gamer myself, I fully agree with your point. I guess in this thread there are a lot of people who, due to them being in tech, have a bit of a relationship with games but…

I typically think of myself (and try to act like) a rather rational person. The amount of hours of my life that I've done silly, mindless and occasionally annoying things because s…

They absolutely earn it though. Steam just works. Heck, I've not bought games because they were not on Steam or required another launcher. Ubisoft and Rockstar are so bad that I he…

One of those "I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."-moments. Time to rewatch "Vice"; Bale is incredible.

I'm one of those apparently super rare weirdos who just shut down any computer over night. Takes me just a tiny wee bit longer the next day to get started, but given all the issues…

Many thanks for your work! Definitely looking forward to the upgrade - especially the performance-boosts with regards to tsc will be very welcome in our relatively large code-base,…

I use Duolingo to learn French, for a few years already. It definitely can bring you up to A1/A2-levels of proficiency (at least for French), which is definitely a solid starting p…
