IMO giving "benefit of the doubt" to something beyond doubt is bad, straight up. If someone can't tell this article is AI then they need to go spend an hour a day reading known AI …

I'm still skeptical of the smaller models after the talent exodus a few months ago.

If you even broach language related to biology you’ll get rerouted. I was presenting data in a grid and referred to a grid cell, Fable saw the word “cell” and safeguards kicked in

Revenue isn't profit though. Anthropic is already profitable OpenAI financials have looked doomed for the past year

Reuters has been reporting that Chinese government is undergoing similar investigation to the US; blocking the export of domestic frontier models. They boil down to "anonymous sour…

Something I've been doing is making an automated hydroponic tent. Temp, humidity, EC sensors and a few servos to control nutrients all feed into an esp32 + servo controller and bro…

The range of these lora nodes is a bit of a myth. It is better than higher frequencies but you shouldn't expect anything more than a km with obstructions, realistically half that. …

Are you actually seeing demand?

I don't like that default on mac either but in their defense it's super easy to customize. I turned off all but applications and my documents folder for spotlight search.

No I haven't seen that before. I used to just run the terminfo tic command that's recommended in the top searches and when that started failing I just swapped back to default termi…

This is what kills it for me. Half the time I'm using a terminal I'm sshing and the fact that I need to copy over term-info on virtually every machine keeps me from using it more o…

On the contrary, when I was in high school we had one class dedicated to digital electronics and it revolved around breadboard circuitry. You only had 30 minutes/day to tinker with…

And the mistakes AI makes don't carry the same code smells juniors make. There are markers in human code that signals how well they understood the problem, AI code more often looks…

Mainly because it isn't semantic and breaks accessibility features. If you find yourself writing layouts like this you're probably ignoring a bunch of useful stuff like etc. Unless…

There's nothing dangerous about SSHing into an untrusted server unless you're using the same keys for everything.

Super cool. I can't justify investing time in it at the planned pricing but I'll keep an eye on it if they can hack together a more competitive VPS option.

Speaking for my friends in their mid to late 20s, if you have a reasonable plan to get to a point where you can invest in your future as opposed to simply burning every last drop o…

Per Atrioc

If you come from immense privilege (growing up in an 8 figure household), have good health, and rich relationships and that isn't enough to curb your existentialism that's ok, but …

Oh boy another template shipped in a single commit; complete with "For now, do this" and "In production you would do this" comments

Thing is Kindle hardware is significantly better and cheaper. If you don't mind tinkering get a kindle and jailbreak it to remove ads and add koreader.

Onyx violate GPL with their linux-based OS. I'd go Kobo or remarkable over them for that alone

I think what they mean is these e-bikes pushing 60mph should be legal but reclassified as something closer to a motorcycle. The problem with keeping them illegal is people tend to …

For EVs no but it's huge for flight if it could be scaled down. Paramotors and ultralight planes are on the verge of being competitive with gas they just need a bit more energy den…
