The type of problem also makes a massive difference. - Writing my tiny hobby gameboy emulator? Heck, Why I'd let Claude take away the fun part of implementing new features and then…

The issue with current day "nerd culture" is that it's extremely self-referential. There's no space for anything outside of extremely codified artistic norms and genres. Techno-feu…

The "whatever" part, in strict terms, would be information. Jury is still out whether that is a fundamental component of the universe or not: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/…

And then what? You get a lame duck, then (if you're really lucky) a 4 year dems gov where they basically do basically nothing expect try to clean (or bury) the most outrageous case…

It won't happen for the intrisc nature of (current-gen, at least) AI of being forced within the limits of their training, which deprives the artist of intent - that is, specificall…

If the experience of some relatives of mine who left during the '90s is still valid, much of the defence, tech and real estate economy in Israel is basically UK and US based, with …

The most interesting part is that IIRC they shipped the entire Windows 3.11 memory allocator to make it work. I have very little understanding on how allocation works at OS level, …

The most controversial part is probably that something like jqwik could be a dependency you're not even aware of. You could be asking your agent to fully analyze a project to isola…

Are they counting “frontalieri” towards that cap? No? Funny how that works, isn’t?

Mark my words: they will keep growing until they collapse, and once that happens, they will use their reach and contacts with the Italian government to ask to be bailed out out of …

My Nokia 5800 express could connect to a VPN and run a bridged internet connection over Bluetooth in 2008. I clearly remember using it in Switzerland around 2010 to pay for a tramw…

He's missing the last step: Somehow around the 2010s we all decided that everything in the web had to become "reactive" and "asynchronous" - which is a fancy way of saying things c…

Because once shit hits the fan, those responsible for destroying the ecosystem will take a one-way flight for a fully air-conditioned bunkerized apartment lot in Dubai with any Eps…

They also offer substantial discounts if you attend their seminars. I was able to buy Live Standard for roughly 150€ a few years ago.

I hope before I die we finally prove that the human brain has no peculiar qualia but it is an entirely deterministic, albeit extremely sophisticated, machine. And by touching the r…

I was lucky enough to speak with one of the guys who ported Final Fantasy VIII to Windows (A crazy talented guy from Naples and one of the earliest members of the OG playstation em…

The whole "Taste makes all the difference" has been meme'd to death too: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYuj_4dxVg2/ . Also... I won't add any details to avoid doxing myself, but t…

What we too easily forget is that for millennia we had societies where an infinitesimally amount of people (a dozen of families, at best) held almost all the wealth, another thousa…

It has become a meme at this point but this sentence still stands: "The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to a…

I wouldn't be surprised if the original source code is probably lost and forgotten in a ZIP drive stored in a basement somewhere in Tokyo. I've made a similar point in an earlier c…

Only if you're going after the "vibe coders" audience. Regular developers would be fine with a lightweight local llm capable of scaffolding and wiring a dozen of bog-standard compo…

I've been in the "someone performed it" and "someone mixed it" role for some tracks that I found utterly mediocre and yet ended up being some of the most successful stuff I've ever…

Because the alternative would've been telling everyone "here's the Stochastic Machine. The more what you write looks like the sources we blatantly stol- I mean, trained from, the c…

It matches the current "2K aesthetic" revival. Probably the last device that fully incarnates that specific time frame. You can commonly see it in major fashion adv campaigns, with…
