The parsers doing this in the first place is the problem. The JSON spec doesn't specify how numbers should be stored/interpreted, so theoretically you could have a 2,000 bit intege…

> Widespread diseases like measles, [...] - gone Funny you mention that, we're bringing measles back. Check out the graphs on https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html .…

What's going on with the photo of the children standing around a light wearing sunglasses? My first thought was tanning booth but surely they weren't tanning children?

The two aren't mutually exclusive! I just finished porting my personal kubernetes cluster from running on Debian to running on NixOS. Now whenever I want to update the host OS on m…

> JSON numbers are too often encoded as strings There's a good reason for that, since JSON comes from JavaScript, many JSON parsers treat numbers as double-precision floats. By enc…

I think the real value here is not as a customer-facing agent/chatbot but for for automated processes. Think of all the companies out there that have LLMs doing simple tasks like c…

USB-IF certified is a certification that the cable follows the spec, but that spans usb 2.0-only cables up to USB4v2 cables. The tester shows you what the capabilities are.

I've noticed on YouTube I see a lot of adult sexual ads. Things like home cleaning ads that have an unmistakable wood-grain image of fellatio. I've always wondered "how are these g…

Well this inspired me. I think I'll make a new shell and call it "bash". It seems bash-shell.com is available.

Just want to add that while the MI350P is a PCIe card, it is designed for servers. It just has a heatsink (with no fan) which the powerful full-case fans of a rackmount server are …

For the Americans: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/6844022/Nadex-Coins-4... I assume the same must exist for euros.

Good to know, because another one of the bulbs visibly looks on the verge of separation. Thanks!

I have never had an LED light bulb fail. I'm still using the same 6-pack I bought over a decade ago, bringing them with me from apartment to apartment. I only have 5 remaining beca…

Oh you're right! I was tricked by "AccuSet technology automatically sets the correct time when plugged in. No programming, no confusing buttons"

Edit: I was wrong! original post below: > Battery-backed self-setting “atomic” clocks that get their updates via the cosmic ether have been a thing for years and get me most of the…

For those of you on zsh, I have been a big fan of https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb It is written entirely in shell script, with the only dependency being sqlite itself.

There is no correct answer for the number of countries in the world. I'd recommend this Map Men video on the difficulty of deciding what is or isn't a country: https://www.youtube.…

> iOS Chrome is just Safari with a different interface uhh wow. How did Microsoft face antitrust lawsuits for merely bundling IE when Apple is literally forcing their browser?

Chromecast from desktop chromium works, so there's no reason they couldn't make the universal turing machine in my pocket do the same.

I was under the impression that when you're streaming the weights from disk because the full model won't fit in memory, that it is solely reading from the SSD, not writing, so it w…

Yes, they're different units. Just like how 1 month is less than 99 days and 1 pound is less than 99 ounces. That isn't a digital vs analog thing.

The technology I was thinking of was digital screens. Analog clocks made sense when the best you could do was attach some arrows to some gears on a rotating shaft. Now we can indiv…

Nah, I use rust so every mile implements OperatingExpense.
