Is it? I can't imagine why a language model would do well on this sort of problem at all.

I'm surprised to hear that it's so successful beyond banner ads. I figured most platforms would use the same domain for their ads as their content. I'm pretty sure YouTube and my "…

These takes are not interesting, relevant, or helpful.

There is a hard to find book called "Tent life in Siberia" by George Kennan, which is his account of a scouting trip of a bunch of Americans trying to build an overland telegraph r…

Sounds like you're confusing Mazda and BMW /s

That argument has actually worked in some cases, especially when you need to click away to actually access the document. I assume it's why we see more and more examples where you n…

It irks me greatly that we landed on the term WebGPU for technology that is not bound to the web.

I don't think the article mentioned it but adjusting how you configure the WSGI server can really affect performance too. It's also easy to accidentally make your DB queries sequen…

I agree, the inevitable feedback loops will be painful to watch play out. AI written blog -> AI training set -> repeat.

Presumably this is because LLMs just echo all the pro-Postgres Medium articles they've been trained on. They don't have any actual experience.

Frieren is fantastic and beautifully done, with only a few scenes that look cheap. But I actually strongly dislike the credit sequence you're talking about, and I'm pretty sure it'…

They don't usually. In this case they do because they need it to look jittery.

What if I'm trying to submit a form on my phone and the captcha appears? Do I need a second phone now?

These days that's probably true, but when a projectionist needed to roll the film and babysit the equipment I doubt it would be worthwhile. Not to mention that film rolls do wear o…

Fantastic work and a great write up.

Can't have those bots or scrapers running amok can we...

Fly supersonic commercially is the only thing I can think of

I was a big fan of Perplexity early on, but their product (at least the free version) has deteriorated so much in the last few months. I don't think they test enough with the cheap…

Cool. But not sure why I would want AI chat in my F1 dashboard.

All true, except I think you've conflated software and software product a bit. The author is mourning the craft, the same way the boot makers or furniture makers probably mourned t…

I know a commercial product isn't necessarily the solution, but I just love Tailscale. It makes sshing around absurdly easy and clean. There is also the open source headscale, whic…

Unless things have changed? It used to be $125,000 for 7% on a SAFE, then $375,000 which converts at your next fundraise at whatever the most favourable terms offered are. So unles…

I've just setup a simple blog at https://c0-0p.io/blog Mostly an excuse to write a simple template system and play with some self hosting. Hopefully something will come of it soon.…

Very cool, I have spent the past week cobbling together something very similar from docker swarm and tailscale but something all in one would be amazing.
