Chrome did this, and there was a huge outcry. Even though local AI is much better for privacy.

I'm very thrown by the "hidden Buy box" argument. I thought Amazon did that on purpose to hide overpriced items from the wild west that is Amazon's marketplace/sellers. So a t-shir…

What kind of features?

Microsoft Edge has had this for some time. I was surprised, but Edge is pretty modern.

Isn't higher frames per second good? You wouldn't want a video game to intentionally limit itself to 24 fps. Isn't motion smoothing more realistic?

Does anyone have a suggestion for PDF redacting? It's the only thing I need Acrobat for. And when I need it, it's very important.

Too bad Discord can't be searched. There's lots of information trapped on Discord.

I gave up on it during season one. Is it really worth continuing it? It started to not hold my interest.

This is also useful for having a type that needs to be verified in some way before being used or trusted. UnverifiedLoginCookie vs. VerifiedLoginCookie

This optimization option isn't on by default? That sounds like a lot of missed optimization. Most programs aren't going to be loading from shared libraries. Maybe I can set this op…

I don't think this article is very well-written. It gets confused about whether QUIC has a handshake or not (it does). And it conflates zero round-trip time with combining the TCP/…

Paper Mario: The Thousand-year Door is being remade by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.

I've struggled to find a Software Engineer job for many months, even with FAANG on my resume. It's nowhere as easy as it was when I graduated college 7 years ago. I send out my res…

If I start now and start reading up on AI, will I become anything close to an expert? I'm worried that I'm starting a journey that requires a Master's or PhD.

Are deep learning and neural networks just curve fitting? I thought those were significantly different.

I came here with the same question. After reading and learning these materials, will I have new job skills or AI knowledge that I can do something with?

OpenAI Gym looks incredibly interesting. Aren't those games supposed to be solved using neural nets?

I'm running through Andrew Ng's "Machine Learning Specialization" course on Coursera right now. I plan to do his "Deep Learning Specialization" immediately after. There's not a lot…

David Mazières added adaptive hash difficulty? 25 years ago?! He helped with Stellar's consensus protocol and is still involved now. https://stellar.org/

> `docker build` is weirdly slow on btrfs, I always set up a separate ext4 `/var/lib/docker` volume. I'm currently doing this for a different reason. My docker builds started faili…

I was disappointed by Accuweather's "local" weather during this spate of Midwest storms. It didn't correctly tell me whether it was raining at my current position. I miss Dark Sky.…

What kind of hedge would protect against this?

Is there a patent, copyright, or royalty reason why JPEG-XL isn't championed for the web? It would be awful to have another format that can't be used in certain Linux distros or br…

Are there any online/remote hackerspaces? Seems like a good idea. Being physically together is too much time and energy sometimes.

Rust has unreachable_unchecked and intrinsics::assume. And a clever crate that provides an assume!() macro for stating assumptions. I toyed with them while learning some unsafe Rus…
