    The EU actually has a very good, privacy protecting way of doing this based on zero knowledge proofs. Unfortunately they completely botched it by having the proof-of-concept app re…

    It's pretty awful, generally best avoided unless you have a specific reason for doing so (e.g. encrypting the full SQLite DB per customer). It also introduces you to some pretty ba…

    So done a much deeper analysis - there is an loader injected at the Wordpress side which triggers a read of a payload from a smart contract on the Ethereum chain. It stores this in…

    Doing a bit of digging too - it also filters only to users running MacOS or Windows and skips everything else which is why it will be invisible to the devices I tried it on.

    I'm not getting it at all! I'm guessing something about my environment has caused it to cloak itself.

    Do you have any browser extensions enabled? I've seen similar before where it wasn't the page itself that injected it - rather it was injected by a compromised/sold extension that …

    More unhinged - but a lot of people preferred it that way. To be really clear it's still pretty unhinged and even a decade ago it was much more unhinged.

    I was so confused by the title - I thought jets were fairly efficient at ~40%-50% of theoretical maximum and turbofans can't be that far behind. It would maybe make sense for a sin…

    I think it needs some more explanation - Fable is 0.42 from itself apparently so Kimi K3 is basically indistinguishable?

    It was a pretty bad time - ARM wasn't really encroaching on any of their markets in the way they are now & AMD was struggling. Intel basically just left the engineering to rot & th…

    In some EU countries - it could be seen as retaliation if you sue for something and then Google closes your accounts, some EU countries have strong protections here. More important…

    User fatigue is UX concept and can be measured. I'd be surprised if squircles reduced user fatigue though - I think a good adjacent example is Googles new icons with the colours th…

    I would argue that there is somewhat a research edge - there's no reason to think Chinese labs aren't incredibly capable in research though, look at all the recent papers from them…

    I mean yes - I think you are also confusing the axes of the political compass somewhat. Freedom of Speech, civil liberties etc are the Y-Axis - here Xi leans authoritarian. China a…

    Not really - it's not a PC.

    I would argue that all 4 of these that you have mentioned can be handled with relatively small models very well. The real question is what situations are the flagship, larger model…

    So as far as I can tell, they can't do this as it's based on equivalent full-charge cycles - so that's nice at least.

    I've been using it through OpenCode Go and it does seem decent in my limited experience. I haven't done anything which I could directly compare to Opus yet though. I did give it on…

    So you don't even need Android or iOS for this feature and it's been a thing on certain headsets for a while; both my Sony headphones and buds do this. It also has an integration w…

    I feel like a lot of this is just Googles tooling - if you're using Antigravity/Gemini CLI and then use Claude Code it feels like a huge difference. I can say from experience thoug…

    Mostly similar - sometimes better, sometimes worse. It's not 2005 anymore.

    Ah - the old magic. There is a lot more than a simple chroot to Docker though - with FreeBSD Jails being a stepping stone along the way. It's real innovation and why it won over al…

    I wouldn't like to see all the legal infrastructure they're putting in under a Reform UK government - I'd imagine they'll use it for far more nefarious means. That being said - the…
