    I don't think anyone over 30 around me likes that. At that point it's very close to door dashing but less convenient.

    It reminds me of multitabling at online poker. More tables translates into more revenue even if the ROI per table is lower as you don't dedicate as much attention, until it collaps…

    To add on that, the propaganda spinned it as: 1. Not a war 2. A defensive/protective operation. The reason being the article 353 of Russian Criminal Code, under which planning or w…

    I have the opposite impression. For me the quality is the cake; polish is just the icing. Putting out a 5-min of effort output with an AI as your image, is all icing and no cake: i…

    I just tested on all the devices I have at hand and they let me pick or type, and the picker is usable. Is this an iPhone problem? Because it sounds like an iPhone problem.

    Same, but for dates. There's ; it's literally a solved problem ffs. Forcing to scroll through years, months and days in your remarkably creative date selection widget is extremely …

    LLMs have neurons related to things that cluster in a vector space, some of them are tokens that describe emotion (but that hypes less). It can be emotions or anything else, but in…

    How is SEAD unrelated to drone warfare? Unless you believe anti radiation missiles/drones can't target jammers.

    Passive radar is fine for gigantic airliners with all regard for efficiency, none for radar cross section, and that fly above most obstacles. For drones you might be trying to scra…

    But such a jammer is expensive and a magnet for HARMs that only need that RF signature as guidance.

    Fable refuses to touch anything in my side project because it uses libtorch. It will bounce even for parts that have nothing to do with it.

    It never happened to me, but Claude routinely ignores the single line I have in CLAUDE.md, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised.

    I felt the same tbh; I notice more the regressions in the weeks before a new release than any potential improvement the new model might have actually brought. It may also depend on…

    Here we are, and it's big tech. Had quite a few interviews scheduled over the last few weeks, literally more than in the last 2 years.
