I don't have the same rosy memory of the history as you do. I remember very regularly having to wrestle with flash or java applets reinstalling and doing all kinds of voodoo I coul…

Maybe we come from different cultures and context is harder to grasp just in text so maybe for those reasons your response feels ruder than I hope it was intended to be. I am sorry…

I think it's because both sides are talking about different things. If you go in expecting it is good enough to make developers obsolete today(reasonable impression to get from the…

Idempotence is a semantically overloaded term in computer science where in functional programming it refers to the same concept as mathematical idempotence it refers to any functio…

Just adding for context that I use Gemini Ultra and across all models from Gemini 3.1 Pro to Claude Opus 4.6, I have never hit 429s as well as hitting model quota limits is incredi…

The amount of goal post shifting is so amusing to see. Yes, sure this was probably not an "important" or a particularly "challenging" problem which had been open for a while. Sure,…

I am working on something similar but with an AST for legal documents. So far, it seems promising but still rudimentary.

My memory of the recent history of the web isn't as cynical. I am not denying the perverse incentives involved but at least for Facebook & Instagram(maybe) we had the Graph API whi…

x86 Thinkpads is what I am gravitating towards as well. Regarding system76 I have heard really good things about their workstations but not about laptops. Have you used them? I rec…

I like Framework devices but yeah sadly haven't used one with battery life that works for me. I can get a bit more than 5hrs on macbook under Asahi fedora with my usual usage. Fram…

Will try to procure one for testing. It's a bit on the larger side for me though. How much battery life do you get on your average daily workload and what kind of workload is it? I…

I use chromium based browser and applications so don't get to enjoy the benefit of the power efficiency gains of safari sadly. Geat to know this about your experience with thinkpad…

It has been a while since I daily drove one but my old laptop used to have an nvidia hybrid setup and it was possible to get power management to work decently with it but that migh…

I have tried multiple framework devices as a partner firm uses them. Good devices, want to support what they are doing but yeah battery life is really lacking for my use case.

Yes, it's just open weights however they do allow commercial use but with stipulations to do no harm, follow the law and not circumvent the guardrails in place. I would worry more …

That seems to be the conclusion I have been avoiding to reach. With graviton and other arm based linux server machines being a good bulk of my work I hoped I wouldn't have to worry…

I have been on an M1 macbook pro since launch and while I love the hardware, easily my favourite device I have ever owned but MacOS has just always been the thing to be the faustia…

I spent years fussing about getting all of my APIs to fit the definition of REST and to do HATEAOS properly. I spent way too much time trying to conform everything as an action on …

RPi is a good option if one has less RAM requirements especially if you take into account the quality of the drivers and software support in general. RPi can be a compelling option…

After hoc, therefore something else hoc...

I am curious as to how are you envisioning such a platform be funded and operated? Is it government(which country? or a coalition?) funded and operated by an "independent" board. O…

Everyone should obviously be able to make decisions for their own content on their own websites/blog and more power to you for exercising your agency and choice here. I browsed thr…

I help hire for a few clients as well as for my own small organization. We are already seeing impact of these tools on our hiring. For the same responsibilities and tasks we are al…

I think you are referring to Pranav Mistry's Sixth Sense( https://www.pranavmistry.com/archived/projects/sixthsense/ ). It was part of his research at MIT media labs. I don't think…

Assistant was surprisingly useful. In a couple of occasions I had it find me research papers I didn't know existed for a problem I had been working on for long. However the realiza…
