I'm curious how much this is the cause or effect, though? The publishers have been saying that their ability to promote books has drastically reduced with the internet, along with …

You're validly critiquing where it is now. The hype people are excited because they're guessing where it's going. This is notable because it's a milestone that was not previously p…

I've thought for a while now that we'll end up moving to stricter languages that have safer concurrency, etc, partly for this reason. The most prominent resistance against such lan…

This is standard practice. They need to use current lossless formats to display examples to people who don't have the format yet. They are still showing accurate examples of compre…

Strange, as Cloudinary's test had the opposite conclusion -- jpegxl was significantly faster to decode than avif. Did the decoders change rapidly in a year, or was it a switch to n…

It looks like folding@home is still going https://foldingathome.org/ I'm quite surprised these are still around as I hadn't seen them mentioned in so long. I always assumed the pha…

In theory yes, but in practice they usually have the speaker up far higher than they are speaking themselves so we do only hear one side clearly. I think the high distractability i…

Some places resist this because it causes a "rich get richer" effect in popularity. But it's admittedly convenient.

My initial assumption is that this is more about Photomator than Pixelmator (ie. their Lightroom alternative rather than their Photoshop alternative). Photomator has shown that you…

(replying to myself) I ran a quick, non-scientific Python script on my Macbook M2 using local Postgres and SQLite installs with no tuning. It does 200 simple selects, after inserti…

I think that's why the GP said "on the same machine" — I read the article as comparing to the typical DB that is located on a separate machine in the data center, accessed over a n…

Deepmind's recent model is trained with Lean. It scored a silver olympiad medal (and only one point away from gold). > AlphaProof is a system that trains itself to prove mathematic…

And yet the data is ephemeral, so in many cases could be done faster without the "real" block storage guarantees. Github Actions is pay-per-minute-used, unfortunately, so they may …
