What’s the point of books? Can’t you just watch a movie?

The equation is different if the life saving surgery couldn’t be performed otherwise. Still pretty crazy and I don’t know how comfortable I’d be with it if I were the patient.

I’m horrified to imagine a blood pump or any life support system being network connected, or to rely on the precise time of day in order to function correctly. Accurate time keepin…

I had a great evening with a friend playing through TIS-100 together. We plugged in two keyboards and mice so we didn't have to pass them back and forth.

I used to run tomsrtbt ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomsrtbt ) from a floppy on an old 486 hooked up to a monitor and keyboard for use as a terminal. Was nice and silent, pretty…

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t like raisins? They’re pretty much just sugar.

Or you could dump the power into a realllly loud horn

For one thing it’s statically typed and has many fewer foot guns than Python, so the llm-produced code is more likely to do what you expect.

Haha thank you! This had been mildly bothering me for a while actually.

I have been writing my own custom software for myself for over 30 years. But in the last six months I have written a lot more of it because the language models make it so much fast…

It’s not that the calculator was more than what students need, it’s that even for what it was the TI83/84 was way overpriced. It could have been like $20 at the scale they were pro…

This is why you have modern circuit breakers.

I think perhaps I was unclear. I don’t mean the entire dev environment should mirror prod (although it’s great if you can do this for end to end testing). I just mean it’s desirabl…

In my experience having different serving paths for dev vs production is a recipe for annoying issues. I try to make dev as similar to prod as possible. I’m not sure, I don’t dismi…

I think it’s helpful to try to use words that more precisely describe how the LLM works. For instance, “intent” ascribes a will to the process. Instead I’d say an LLM has an “orien…

Presumably you’re also using a browser to view this web page. There have also been vulnerabilities in that. You have to draw a line somewhere.

Yes and if they copy and paste code they don’t understand then they should disclose that in the commit message too!

It’s a quote from the movie Kindergarten Cop.

I haven't yet - just generally I have found it a bit of a hassle to figure out which packages to install whenever I use a different distro. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thanks for doing this. I had basically the same experience with Lima. It is very nice but the defaults are not what I want, and I don't like having to wonder whether I turned off t…

> part of the polygraph test involves a blood pressure cuff which is put on EXTREMELY tight, far more so than any doctor or nurse would ever put it on. It is left on for the entire…

I don’t know. I wouldn’t have thought of myself as proxying other people’s traffic by carrying my iPhone around. (For one thing, it’s my own phone that initiates all the activity- …

By “your traffic” you mean device location reports? Or something else?

How is Find My a proxy network?

You might consider why this article which has nothing to do with AI as you know it (except for the machine learning aspects of Gaussian splatting), and was produced by a huge team …
