Nice website. One problem, though: the animation goes too fast for my reading speed, so I have to click stop. Then when I click on the next thing, I have to click stop again. Very …

I may be wrong, but my personal experience is just that AIs are better at better-documented languages. By now, Rust is very well documented, perhaps significantly better than Zig (…

"De-googling" is a spectrum, and I was pretty proud of being farther and farther away (Android and Youtube being the main resistance). But recently, I find myself using Gemini more…

It's a nickname: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pel%C3%A9

Only for the models where I'm not paying per token.

Let me tell you something that does not make money: selling fiction books as an independent author (through physical copies, Kindle ebooks and Kindle Unlimited). Family member is a…

Ah, c'mon! You went all the way to find out the issue and write about it, and won't do the most interesting part which is to tell us what was the remote script that would end up ru…

How can you tell AI was used here? I'm curious.

You're trying to say they are good quality!? I recently had to gift someone some books, so I decided to try B&N online shipping since Amazon sometimes damages books. I ordered 3 bo…

I wish there was a version of this website that was simpler, more educated and that I could show to the "normies" who own business and insist on asking me to download their app (I'…

Then I can't copy+paste, so I might make a typo when sending you a message.

My plan is to learn how to use AI and be proficient with it, so they will be more likely to keep me, as opposed to those who refuse to use it. Some people on my team still refuse t…

University is not a competition, others have nothing to do with this? The unfairness here is between me and myself, as I was supposed force myself into doing it in Prolog.

As usual, try mplayer. It can play anything.

I also learned Prolog in the university. In the Classsic AI course we had to implement gaming AI algorithms (A*, alpha-beta pruning, etc) and in Prolog for one specific assignment.…

Those who like this game may also want to try open-source The Battle for Wesnoth, which is a turn-based hexgrid war game.

They have done it. The current modern abstraction is called Vulkan, and the binary spec code for this machine is called SPIR-V.

The market is not just 3 players. These days we have these things called smartphones, and they all include a variety of different graphics cards on them. And even more devices than…

I said I am a beginner in one of the languages. How do I know their answer is best? I can verify their answers through other means, and I understand both languages enough to realiz…

I have the opposite problem: I have to force myself to not take so many breaks!

AI has completely killed Google Translate. It is significantly superior in every way. GT often uses the wrong word or changes the tone of a message. AI always gets the intent right…

Some countries still charge for SMS. That's why WhatsApp is so popular in many places of the world.

To me the most painful switch was Gnome 2 to Gnome 3. I still miss Gnome 2. I left Gnome 3 for other WMs (eventually settled on cinnamon), but every once in a while I decided to gi…

systemd was a problem for early adopters (e.g., Fedora). Distros like Debian joined the party later and, as a result, got things way more stable. I never had any systemd-related pr…
