Yesterday I was working on some video editing tools to create a demo from screen recordings. I started with Gifox, recorded a 5 min video and then started cutting it in their UI (s…

I use this expression as well, but I think it has a different meaning when a programmer says it vs anyone else. In my pov, it is not the hard part because I have already mastered i…

That would be nice, and what I woudl expect from judges. But from what I experienced and from what I've seen, real nuanced judgement happens rarely. Most often judges simply lean o…

How do you define "trying to make it look authentic"? You make a deepfake of a politician saying a discriminatory joke, and the author will just say "It was obvious this was not in…

It's always been the purpose of ads, and this is how google was. Then they started making it hard to tell ads apart from content. When OpenAI starts injecting subliminal ads into y…

idk, taking free stuff on principle is not a thing that's done everywhere. Time is costly. Reading crap content costs me more than the money I'd pay for it.

I'm not sure if they're irrational. Payment/subscription fatigue is a thing. Today it seems like you have to pay to breathe. It's suffocating. I often go through periods where I re…

I would definitely pay a monthly subscription to help fund a non profit compete with Anthropic and OpenAI. I already pay subscriptions for myself and 2+ other people. It's a non br…

Today you could plug this into your agent as a second brain to give it more insight on related topics and ground it's responses when doing research or building products that can be…

The naysaying here is insane. Should a project like this not exist?

How long until Tesla buys Mistral?

Also, Software engineering is engineering. Not all software if built through engineering. I'd say today almost zero software is built this way. Figure it out as you go is not engin…

https://brainbound.blog/dams-animal-engineering-impact I could be stretching, but to me, this is very conscious and intentional work, perfected through experience and there are man…

Ok, then there is regulated engineering and unregulated engineering. If you are doing engineering and it's not regulated (for many different reasons) it does not make it any less e…

The author is basically saying if you participate in any part of the encryption process, you're deceiving users in saying things are e2e encrypted. Isn't this conflating encryption…

Lookup MOTO for credit card payments. I know, goes against everything you’ve been told about security, PCI, etc., but yes, it’s a thing. I hope it dies, but the world moves slowly.…

VHDL, VLSI are well documented languages, with well build test and verification frameworks and harnesses. Even just by iteration you could get there if you have the money to pay fo…

My country, Angola, implemented online incorporation recently. They're very proud of it, but oh boy, do they need to burn it and salt the earth it stands on. It's harder and takes …

The free tiers always go away, after they're deep in our infra. I would prefer to price it from the start.

btw sorry for the typos, just re-read this and looks like a dyslexic person wrote it

Have nee dealing with this in an area that requires insane attention: payments. It's strange feeling when you architect a system, all the invariants, all the fundamentals, all the …

This. Depending on your policy or org’s policy, your auth session may be short lived. Going to Google to login and come back every hour is a worse experience. Use your password man…

Hands down, the urge of product to assume that codebase is stable and as nimble as a greenfield project, and so any feature can be build with minimal “we just need to make a small …

Have you noticed that LLMs leave comments in the code that make it harder for it to self correct? If you notice some unexpected behavior and ask it to explain, it tells you what it…

1. You're probably correct that some statelessness is lost or I'm creating ambiguity. My concept of it is that you don't need to update the token and you don't need to maintain sta…
