Beautiful and scary at the same time. Almost like the iceberg was a planet on its own with mountains, valleys, crevices. Then everything goes haywire. The fall of a majestic titan.…

I have many disagreements with Sam Altman. But physical attacks are never the answer. Especially attacking one's family.

An LLM that maintains a Confluence space. That looks like an interesting idea!

I am very happy for Scala. So many people taking the time to rant on it. Yes, you can do anything with Scala in a million different ways. So what? So can you do it in C++, Python, …

Thank you for sharing. Interesting insight on dep libraries.

I just hope they won't destroy sagas like they did to the Witcher. In other words, I don't think this is good for future content as there is a risk movies/series will follow the sa…

Nice feedback. I still love Scala write Scala 2 code mainly because of Spark. I wish I could migrate everything to Scala 3.

I don't think it is a problem with Scala 3 itself. Scala 3 brought a lot of improvements, one of them is using semantic versioning. People used to complain a log about binary compa…

Here the context is prozac FOR CHILDREN, not in general. Yet some people make a point in commenting that SSRIs are ineffective in general because they believe in some big pharma co…

Here the context is for children, not in general.

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing and making it open-source!

Comprehensive analysis. Awesome!

I hope robots like these will be used to help the elderly continue to live in their homes. There is a huge need to support the aging society and not enough people. I believe this w…

Mojo looks like the perfect balance between readability (python-like syntax) and efficiency (rust-like performance).

Thinking out loud, CEOs have one mission, one objective: increase the ROI of shareholders through stock prices and dividends. I don't know if that is a legal obligation. But I wond…

It is surprising that, given the seriousness of the allegations, the police was not contacted by the supposed victims, there was no investigation by authorities and eventually no j…

Similarly, Apache Spark and Scala versions. Spark ran on Scala 2.12 for a long time to eventually support 2.13. To this day, no plans to support Scala 3.x. Databricks started suppo…

It's a research problem, a science problem. And then an engineering problem to industrialize it. How can we replicate intelligence if we don't even know how it emerges from our bra…

I tried ChatGPT 5 and Claude for some medium, non-trivial coding tasks in Rust, and most of the time the code does not even compile. It may work better for other programming langua…

Finally! I saw these new trains stationed at Philadelphia Train Station. They're beautiful. I just wished they could operate at real high speed throughout the NEC.

I quote: "applicants using the tech are overall happy with their experience—and its hiring manager clientele are enthusiastic". Let me translate the PR statement to the real-world:…

In a sense, Trump's rant against Pix is promoting it to the world. Moreover, some stores in Portugal and more recently France are accepting Pix as form of payment.

To develop an app, today, one needs to know 3 programming languages: HTML + Javascript + CSS. XMLUI would downsize this requirement to 2, so a little better IMHO.

Machines will need humans, for sure. The question is how many? For instance, there is a company using printing technology to build homes in Austin, Texas. The target number of work…

This number is actually a shame in the sense that it shows how little taxes are paid by other big companies.
