They are asked _once_ during browser setup, same way on iOS users are asked once during setup if they want to allow Apps to track unique IDs (memory is hazy, they did that a couple…

My gut instinct is to call you a mooncalf, given the lengthy documented history of OpenAI "re-appropriating" things and wanting to profit from it. So here is my honest question, wh…

Good on you for trying, and I'm not saying it can't improve things. Optimizing for structural metrics is still only as good as the metrics. I can say with confidence that no metric…

For what it's worth they aren't reselling at a loss but rather at an eye watering profit [0]. [0] This assumes Anthropic and Google actually keep paying for at least 1 year of the …

Honestly that resonates with me. I haven't made up my mind 100% about the topic, but I can say it would be an easier decision if there was a stronger support network. Watching sing…

The article paints immigration as something undoubtedly negative: > They are willing to accept a smaller economy, strained pensions, and dead rural towns as the price for keeping t…

I despise AI generated no-effort art as much as the next person but what they are offering here is fine-grained application of AI tools which is completely different to one-shot do…

It's not seamless now is it if half the commands don't work. Wine and other compatibility layers show that non-trivial software doesn't work if even one of the many layers uses som…

Based on operating experience and outlook, Rocketlab shouldn't be forgotten on that list. Launch cadence is the driving factor for revenue and profit for these companies' launch di…

Sadly this is pretty on brand for police everywhere, but it's particularly egregious in "the land of the free". If you want a sobering perspective on government power and its conne…

Long story short, your point was that machines can do many things better than humans and I argue they can't even do kitchen knives better. How easily and well you cut through thing…

Even something as "simple" as a kitchen knife - the same basic concept found in ancient roman everyday kitchens - can't be made to the same quality by a machine as per hand. CNC ca…

Required reading every-time remote attestation comes up.

The whole Coding Standards talk has always felt like an own goal. Don't get me wrong I have extensive C++ experience and wouldn't work on a project that doesn't have guidelines. Bu…

This "violence never solved anything" mindset is in stark contrast with recorded history.

Proof by analogy is fraud .. and here the analogy is incorrect as well.

Every time I hear his name I have to think of "America needs to build more" but just not in my backyard. > “I am writing this letter to communicate our IMMENSE objection to the cre…

I've been thinking about this for a bit and there are a variety of reasons why it can be appealing for PMs to push for apps over webpages: - No search competition, when you search …

I get the impression you didn't read the linked post. It goes into the details, atmospheric absorption for different wavelength, weather conditions, tracking time, interception tim…
