'Ruined' is a bit strong, isn't it?

It seems to be like some of the scales slightly off? If you are looking at the ladybird (ladybug) with the amoeba to the left, the amoeba isn't an order of the magnitude smaller - …

Nice! What might be a nice lesser 'clue' to simply revealing a word is highlighting letter(s) on the board that are part of it? Favouring maybe highlighting letters that are contig…

Have you not seen some of the replies at the link? For example: "You are joking ?! The commit about source only is 4 days old (9e49d5e) We are currently paying for a license while …

Are you me? Exact same! The problem with dual monitors is either you're sat in front of the gap, or you need to pivot. This way you get a 'normal' monitor and a portrait section to…

Why does that link say the current director of public prosecutions is Sir Kier Starmer? It's hard to take it seriously.

$49 seems a surprisingly high amount for something aimed at students and learners - I appreciate the content may be good, but it's effectively 3 times a Netflix subscription. It's …

I don't think there's any question about the "probably" - I'm not that involved in the community but the subreddit makes it sound totally disharmonious.

"There are far fewer East Asian CEOs in the Fortune 500, and most of them are the founders of their companies like Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Tony Xu (DoorDash), Lisa Su (AMD)" Lisa Su…

I think they could release non-agentic models that are as good as 4o, and have almost no repercussions on sales tbh. I have Ollama installed (only a small proportion of their clien…

Yeah but because it's a GitHub repo is has an inherent audit trail for that, so it's not really erasing misdeeds... indeed it highlights those people in diffs!

At the bottom it references a GitHub where people have previously added signatures against Jon Pretty - and now the maintainer says "NOTE: This repo is closed. Do not open issues; …

64 GB of RAM which is addressable by a GPU is exceptional for a laptop - this is not just system RAM.

No but 64 GB of unified memory provides almost as much GPU RAM capacity as two RTX 5090s (only less due to the unified nature) - top of the range GPUs - so it's a truly exceptional…

Sorry I'm a bit out of the loop, but what's CapCut?

I don't think you know what "cringe" means... this really makes you cringe? And they didn't say it was crazy, they said it was interesting enough to raise eyebrows. Everyone knows …

Are you sure? Philips' medical side have an in house GUI library (Qt-esuqe) called Sense and it's mainly implemented using C++.

I don’t understand how this works with systems like toothpaste? I get if you somehow stored your toothpaste in some queue-like structure where you only see 1 at a time, then yes, r…

Is anyone is the AI/ML area finding success with anything other than conda, where installation of CUDA/CUDnn is required? Although I often have to pip install a lot of packages, I …
