I’m not sure why you’d need or want a randomised controlled trial to determine the colour of the sky. There have been empirical studies done to determine the colour and the reasoni…

In my opinion I think it’s possible to infer by what has been said[1], and the lack of a 5.1 “Thinking mini” version, that it has been folded into 5.1 Instant with it now deciding …

> That said, Claude is still quite behind GPT-5 in its ability to review code, and so I'm not sure how much to expect from Sonnet 4.5 in this new domain. OpenAI could probably do b…

I think saying they are stuck with standard email protocols is a bit of a stretch. JMAP is not widely implemented outside of Fastmail and certainly isn’t used by Apple Mail, which …

Of the many email hosts out there, only a handful receiving special treatment with no route for others to even request the same is special treatment. In the case of Fastmail, they’…

Which, unfortunately, is now impossible as they’ve removed the endpoint that was used for this.

There isn’t a skill issue at play here - it’s that Apple have closed the previously unofficial route others have been using (including MXRoute), which has brought the issue to a he…

Fastmail have been singled out as they appear to have been given special treatment in the form of an APNS topic ID. Other hosts have been using a reverse engineered endpoint to gen…

Apple uses a proprietary IMAP extension that, until recently, any developer could use by generating a APNS certificate using a reverse engineered endpoint from macOS Server. They’v…

I’m not aware of any UK-based registrars that rival US registrars such as Porkbun on both price and service, but there’s also no reason not to use those providers regardless of whe…

There will certainly be a level where this is viable, if not sensible. Rather than having “casual” users cover the cost of “extreme” users, letting them specify an API key will lik…

In my experience, there’s a vast difference between “education” aimed at the individual and what is delivered in accredited academic courses. The commercial aspect / tailoring to g…

Unrelated, but frankly there should be no publicly accessible network that won’t route a “911”/emergency transmission.

It all depends on what (or when) you’re comparing coordination between European nations to. Having a less than ideal response to COVID or the war in Ukraine is vastly different tha…

There was somewhat of a golden era of independent forums (be them phpBB, vBulletin, etc.), but they were for the most part isolated communities. The rise of social media platforms …

It does indeed look like they’re spending the returns, rather than just sitting on an ever increasing principal which I initially suspected.

Not specifically aimed at MIT, but wouldn’t such a large unspent endowment not (at least casually) suggest a failure to invest in research / students / etc.

Nothing against the overall sentiment, and even considering the audience here, but surely the quote below isn’t serious: MIT is one the the preeminent universities in the world, pe…

Outside of those contributing to open source projects professionally, the vast majority of contributors will (naturally) be those with greater technical abilities, which unfortunat…
