    WYSIWYG does not refer to the icons in the toolbar, but rather the text itself. This is not WYSIWYG because when I make something bold, I see a bunch of asterisks around it. Still …

    Glad to see someone else curious! The problem that the author/LLM suggests happened would have resulted in a file or folder called `anuraag_xyz_project` existing in the desktop (be…

    Depends on who you think its competitors are - deepseek-chat ($0.27/M in; $1.10/M out) is twice as expensive as Gemini 2.5 Flash ($0.15; $0.60) but far cheaper than Claude Sonnet 4…

    I agree with what you're saying, but don't understand the point - if police officers in the US (about a million adult professionals) are abusing this data, wouldn't opening it up t…

    If they are the first to build an airplane that "actually worked", then why would it be inappropriate to say they invented an airplane? It wouldn't be appropriate to say "they were…

    That's an incredibly tough sell, particularly for software. Who is it that should "require" these specifications, and in what context? Can I still put my scrappy code on Github for…

    What is going on with this website? A bunch of graphs with red arrows pointing to 1971, but what's the point being made? "wage productivity gap is increasing"? "we are consuming to…
