Just move your funds from mutual funds tracking NASDAQ (if you own any) to a different fund tracking S&P. Inconvenient but not the end of the world. You still have about two weeks …

IMO the US administration actions are less about actually caring whether foreigners have access to these tools, and more about legal/political precedence. In the US there's a long …

Idk what they're using for serving, but it's truncated in the raw HTML, not just the presentation layer. So probably a bug on the backend somewhere? The linked github repo doesn't …

Nice to see some catch-up with Anthropic and others, but this doesn't actually offer cloud coding agents (my favorite Claude and Cursor capability). I want to code from my mobile d…

"What do you mean by seizing the whole earth; because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, while you who does it with a great fleet are styled emperor." https://en.wiki…

I experimented with setting up a dedicated openclaw instance for coding via chats on mobile, but now that cursor and Claude both offer easy coding from the Web/app, I have had it t…

Arda was supposed to be drastically changed after the First Age. This map is from the Second/Third Ages. Do the events from the First Age map currently into what is shown? Do some …

I avoided this exact scam. The most important thing is to never trust an incoming phone number. If they can't give you a publicly posted phone number that you can call inbound, the…

This user just doesn't understand how to use an LLM properly. The best solution to hallucination and inaccuracy is to give the LLM mechanisms for looking up the information it lack…

Sounds really similar to my experience a few months ago. I commented here about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/googleworkspace/s/NtJpputXtg There was something in Google workspace th…

I think that was a joke. DLC normally means downloadable content.

Can anybody understand how it detects cheating (throwing your phone off a tall building)? Assuming it's just using the accelerometer to detect freefall, is there any way to disting…

Product manager and project manager are different roles. I think the author was specifically designating the latter.

I also recently went through the Coinbase interview process, and was pleasantly surprised that they offered this compensation for the take-home interview part. Overall, a 4-6 hour …

Estimates online suggest that GWB has an IQ of 120-125, making him smarter than the average college grad, perhaps slightly less intelligent than the average person with an advanced…

This proof is nearly equivalent to that proof, but uses the sine function to generate a contradiction. The crucial step involves the fact that: 1 + 2 * product(p', p') must be divi…

500 rupees = $7.52, 1000 rupees = $15.05 These are not large denomination bills.

I would be surprised if this doesn't constitute a violation of Terms of Service somewhere along the line? Something that could provide grounds for one of the telecom companies invo…

I recently spent some time working on exactly this, in 2D: https://github.com/blevinstein/SRAsteroids To see what it looks like, you can check out this youtube video: https://www.y…

I recently spent some time trying to turn a 2D simulation of Special Relativity into a game: https://github.com/blevinstein/SRAsteroids To see what it looks like, you can check out…

This is neat! I was working on something similar recently: https://github.com/blevinstein/chess_assistant/blob/master/s... I had been thinking about ways to analyze the graph of "t…

A friend of mine setup a simple PHP-based proxy while he was in high school, to get around the firewall. Then, he modified it slightly to scrape facebook username/passwords, and ga…
