My life does in fact have priorities above ”LLMs should work a bit better”.

His "argument" for strict typing on the Lex Fridman podcast was also that it's mostly if you have "hundreds or (of?) thousands of engineers collaborating", which "strictly" puts hi…

Most posts of this kind are completely void of thoughts on how society - including public institutions - require you have a smart phone nowadays. I don't use my smart phone that mu…

At the same price level Analogue Pocket exists ( https://www.analogue.co/pocket ), with two fpga cores (NES, SNES, arcade cores exist), a much higher res screen (for ultimate nerde…

Case in point if anyone wonders why Apple [seems to] refuse developing a more desktop-like OS. I guess the M4 iPad Pro got many of us dreaming. :)

To me, part of this is due to the app-centric nature of iPadOS, as opposed to the more file/data-centric nature of a conventional "desktop" OS.

You have it wrong. Apple doesn’t fundamentally believe in selling one device (do-it-all iPad Pro) as opposed to selling two (Mac + iPad). The segmentation is a business decision, n…

I don't mean to belittle your great achievement with license annoyances so forgive me if this sounds harsh, but I won't look twice at any software with an online requirement, if in…

> There are tons of types of “Pros”. Regardless of our personal professional affinities the only reason iPadOS stays locked down is that it's simply more profitable to sell a custo…

That sounds reasonable. I'm writing a dumb, little journal/todo CLI tool for personal use ("meet with @farmer @Monday @13:30 regarding #carrots"), and the library I used for time h…

Well, that’s not “the month” at all, though. At least not something I’d use outside of getting a rough idea for setting the next meeting, and absolutely wouldn’t use in code (but i…

Wouldn't a "month" risk being many days off the intended target date, since it's a non-fixed timespan? E.g. how many days is "1 month from today" (March 20)? You mention medicine, …

What? No. I can run these on a server and get the same UI as locally, which is great. As with everything else sometimes TUIs make sense, sometimes not. There are a lot of crappy GU…

It depends who the end user is. As an aid for a trained physician, who is in a better position to spot the hallucinations, it may be fine, whereas a self-medicating patient could b…

Maybe it’s ok to worry about both? Not trusting ”arbitrary thing A” does not logically make ”arbitrary thing B” more trustworthy. I do realise that these models intend to (incremen…

Isn’t that whataboutism at its best? Those two things are completely unrelated.

What on earth do you mean? Yes, MS is of course a for-profit company, but the long-term storage situation in academia alone is dire. I know from experience that most research data …

That's odd. Are you sure this is not related to Jupyter? I use plotly.js via a Rust wrapper ( https://github.com/igiagkiozis/plotly ) and the performance seems ok when generating a…

Because people sometimes write parsers for binary file formats? In my case, it is indeed for a programming task, but not for debugging running/compiled code. A ”raw bytes” view can…

I love PragmataPro. It's not just the look, but also the character support and many of its design features. I work with linguists in academia and get to work on a lot of plain text…

As with many concepts designed to do good in this world I think it's (unfortunately? not sure) human nature to attempt to "solve" a system, whether the consequences greatly diverge…

Min-max:ed dagger warrior for the win! Also, fear the ash gromnie! AC was never really trumped for me (AC2 was... different?). I just wanted a world to roam, and the vassal system …

Using it with Dropbox and target my code-in-progress for manual "selective" sync. The filter list is nice to avoid syncing compilation artifacts.
