Your app asks people if they would like to upload their contacts? That’s a massive dark pattern. I was interested until now.

Sorry to pile on, but yeah, I wanted to use etcd during 2021 and 2022, around v3.5, but etcd had serious issues including silent data corruption. If you are curious, ask gemini fla…

The article says "A new Arizona law that took effect in late July makes deed fraud a felony", does this mean deed fraud has been a misdemeanor ? (Link from rawgabbit below)

With a median lifespan of 7.35 years, although I doubt that 9% per year remains constant as the number of years increases.

Does this article really compare a single well defined LLM model "Kimi K3" vs. a family of LLM models including Haiku x.x, Sonnet x.x, Opus x.x, Fable x.x without actually revealin…

I've got to give the author credit, it seems like this is written without an LLM. But, there seems to be a lot that is arguable. For example, the article says "Natural language is …

This project desperately needs a rewritten introduction, hopefully with outside feedback.

You might not like Microsoft but they did a video on why they re-wrote the last version of the Typescript compiler in Go. Basically, because of LLMs. It's worth viewing even if you…

I think the study you might be thinking of shows a drop in crime due to the reduction of lead in gasoline, thus we are now breathing less lead.

Read this section of the article “ Bug Discovery: Finding Hidden Flaws”, they appear to have used the model on open source Rust to find issues starting with just the Rust code. You…

This. This is why everyone who wants to fingerprint and collect tons of data on end users pushes them hard on installing an app. The amount of valuable data is 10x what’s available…

Pin threads to cores, and make sure threads different cores aren’t writing to the same 64 or 128 byte block. Lookup “false sharing”

Maybe I am cynical, but I read this as "We were not able to meet our deadline of making you pay API rates for -p and the Agent SDK, but it's coming. We will let you know" If I've g…

They are certainly playing loose with the truth: README says "Standard codecs (H.264/VP9) require dedicated hardware decoders"

Thanks to this article, I learned that the 70's Sticky Finger jeans brand were named after a Rolling Stones album. Don't know how I missed that all this time.

Well, according to Sonnet, the term "staging" refers to assembling troops and equipment at an intermediate location before moving forward into an operation. I really didn't know, b…

The article contains the passage below twice. I mean how does that happen? No proofreading? Cut and paste editing. I am always surprised when I see this in professional new sources…

Maybe I am wrong about this, but I think Zed will run the npm stuff on the dev-container if you are using dev-containers. That can be your isolated virtual machine image or docker …

This would be kind of a fun challenge. If you are handling random numbers, well you are limited by disk or memory size. But if the numbers are compressible ala LZ77 or Gzip, then t…

The security model, or almost lack of any whatsoever in VSCode drove me to only install MSFT extensions, then use Code Server in a docker container, but I decided I didn’t like usi…

Supposedly, in 1990, there was somewhere between 132,000 and 270,000 travel agents. Consider that.

It would be fascinating to know where the remote drivers were located that were remotely controlling these vehicles. Wasn’t there a big hubbub about using remote staff in the Phili…

If you look at the start of that episode, there is another crazy thing in there, a device which allows you to "see" the bits on a credit card track. Apparently something called "ma…

Why? Because of LLM vibe coding?
