Perhaps no one cared about RAM consumption, but RAM is expensive again. In this specific case, is your Weather app important enough to waste 1GB on your users' PCs? Most PCs only h…

Perhaps you'd like to dig down into the stats using AI to find out that the gap in policing isn't really due to race. Check by poverty level, and perhaps by geographic areas.

I find it very that a big company ever gets this deep in layers of indirection, but at least they have the guts to restructure. The government rarely does.

A token is probably not a single char, and an image is probably decomposed into tokens as well (and god knows how many tokens an image is decomposed into) which probably map to sim…

Yes, it's been my experience as well. When I was looking for a good svg generator, I found a bunch of repos on Github created by Chinese programmers: OmniSVG / OmniLottie, SVGDream…

Hah, is Google now just as bad at naming things as Microsoft?

Well if you want to be pedantic, your NVMe drive is actually a SSD, nvme being merely a transport protocol. But point taken; I should have said SSD prices.

The disk and memory prices are very high right now. Perhaps they could do a disk-less, memory-less variant.

The switch to hardware-accelerated rendering was poor. It's still causing issues today. Is it the graphic drivers' fault or their poor implementation? Who knows, but they also disa…

Or USB: - USB 2.0: High-Speed USB - USB 3.0: Super-Speed USB The marketing names are often deficient, but at least there's a clear version number attached to it. Microsoft doesn't …

When was it different? I never saw that in big corporations, only SMBs when the founders were still at the helm.

Didn't we already have a video of that? I don't remember the data sources used to generate the overlay, however. Was it multiple solders' helmets sharing their data, and/or perhaps…

What damage?

One can say that food can be produced elsewhere, but also data centers might be a critical component of future society if we don't solve birth rates. Also, fewer births mean less f…

Isn't using Arena just simplifying memory management, thereby reducing the amount of bugs as well?

I now imagine a world where CAPSLOCK is used as "select the next input" and TAB as the character.

I'm sure it did, but that app looks like a Win XP-era app (not even Win7). FilePilot is fast, looks good & feels modern (support a command palette, fuzzy search, etc). The only dow…

Indeed, their argument makes no sense. They would probably complain about any industry building large factories. It seems they don't like progress, and not even the status quo, the…

Which makes me curious about what Marc actually meant. The quote itself raises eyebrows. EDIT: From checking in with Claude about his talk. > So the thing he was arguing against wa…

It's not at all a similar analogy, and you know it. China is a threat. I assume you personally don't care about it, but it is in our interests that it does not dominate the AI indu…

That's not what deterrence means. From google: the action of discouraging an action or event through instilling doubt or fear of the consequences. It's meant to avoid conflict alto…

Perhaps you'd like to know how well interceptor missiles fare today. They are rapidly being made obsolete. Offense is still the best defense.

Why would that be fraud? Is the subsidy something other than giving the people purchasing EVs a "rebate"?

You should check out Michael Levin. Cancerous cells do not grow organ-like structures. Normal cells communicate with other cells as a network to control growth.

Nicely done. Will you be able to render 3D donuts? And even animations, say pick a slice & see it tear apart from the donut.
