or when you have stronger real-time constraints than "send it to the GPU and hope it comes back fast enough" (e.g. real-time audio processing)

the visited site won't have the info. but someone in the chain will definitely know your identity. the government, private contractors.

It's a solution only at a superficial level, regarding wealth redistribution. It's just very hard to leave the social class you're born in. Not everyone is doomed by it, far from i…

Currently, having LLM feeding on its own output repeatedly is the fastest way to get it hallucinate.

software development has always been about replacing jobs. if we now do it to ourselves and not just other people, maybe there's finally some kind of fairness in the game.

Sometimes things are so obvious to me I don't even think they'd be worthy of a discussion. But this is one of my blind spots, as I've come to realize over many years. For developme…

I mean... I've consistently seen people chewing with their mouth open, talking while chewing, biting their fork, and so many others, just in occidental places, and it didn't seem t…

I get why you'd bring these points up. I mean, really, they could make sense. but both "green" and "tourist" points don't line up at all. to cut short lengthy arguments, just compa…

I think it's to avoid having two sets of data points. I think the "view angle" affects the "convex amount" so that edge-view = flat and all other viewing angles "bump" the data poi…

This is the most relevant use of `to_s` in this class indeed. One could imagine additional methods like: def bump_minor self.class.new(major, minor + 1, patch) end (although I'm no…

Reading this altered my consciousness to the point I thought for an instant that I was back on 4chan or something.

Everyone experiences some symptoms of ADHD, ASD, etc. A genuine diagnostic is given when these symptoms become a big problem for daily life, work, social stuff, etc.

It has been established already that crows remember human faces for years, that they mourn, and that they attack people they associate with the death of their mates (while being qu…

Things like this are actually done for very valid reasons, but these easter eggs are a really neat way to do it. The reason? making an accurate map from a territory is (or used to …

I did not intent to advocate for any solution (drug-based of otherwise), just tried to say that ADHD covers a wide spectrum of situations. Some won't be able to "hack" their brain …

* ADHD doesn't mean you can hop from X to Y to Z superfast/efficiently while remembering anything meaningful. * Hyperfocus isn't a spell you can cast at whatever task at hand. It h…

"Berlin clubs are closing soon!" has been, for a long time, a staple of journalists desperate to get some views. They just play on readers' emotions. For a while the pretext was "n…

So basically you're advocating for a keto diet for everyone and every time? That's silly. Carbs are not intrinsically bad. Also, all sugars are carbs but all carbs aren't sugar. Do…

It was designed by committee, but as long as the original author was involved he had a veto right and he used it very often, which alleviated the "committee" effect.

Baguettes "tradition" can only contain 3 ingredients (flour, water, yeast) so their quality matter, yes, but the preparation is what makes it all: how it's mixed, how long it rests…

I completely agree, even more so with 1. Do not skip or shorten 1. Force yourself NOT to code during 1.

Laws around cryptocurrencies vary widely between countries. In a good chunk of them, while not considered to be "money", bitcoins are viewed as "digital assets" (that you maybe hav…

Or about movies! Although, to be fair, a similar mindset creeps in that field too: it ceases to be art, or moving stories, or mind-changing ideas from movie makers. Now it's all ab…

Not exactly true, at least from what I read elsewhere [1]. The plan is to make Paris 100% cyclaBLE. [1] (French) https://www.bfmtv.com/paris/nouveau-plan-velo-a-paris-la-car...
