    Makes sense, there's some precedent that AI generated code is not copyrightable, it's essentially in the public domain for now. Oracle likes its licenses.

    How does it smell though?

    My guess is that except for simple one-offs or low risk situations, any recurrent use of AI will require some sort of expert to handle it, at least for a while. Liability plays a b…

    I still don buy it. The from-the-hip cameras typically have a waist-level viewfinder, which still is a good approximation of the optical path or you don't and you shoot completely …

    I think it's the cost (both tokens and initial setup and debugging the workflow). It's really easy to spend a gazillion tokens by mistake and the resulting workflows are still prob…

    Optical viewfinder cameras see through a lens and force-align your eyes, so when you change the lens, what you see is different but highly aligned to what the sensor sees. Here, de…

    You lost me at the annoying trail on mouse movement. You advocate for good UI and immediately make some crap that makes it hard to read/use your site. It's kind of ironic. Please s…

    I really liked the ket notation. I was aprehensive at first, but it makes operations much more clear. I would have liked some refresher on some variables though (like d_k in quadra…

    They probably already scraped it.

    I love when things work out in the end! (issue is fixed in the latest MacOS 26 and 27 betas)

    To make ray tracing practical, you need to update the ray-tracing accelerating structures when you animate.

    AI companies are a lot more like traditional manufacturing companies. They can only subsidize you so far, because they may not be even be covering their variable cost at this point…

    I dunno. It's sad in a romantic kinda way, because of the lost artifact, but the information is what makes the book valuable, not really the medium. The out of copyright books don'…

    This is one of my favorite quotes from Brooks: "In practice, actual (as opposed to formal) authority is acquired from the very momentum of accomplishment." Was this AI paraphrased?…

    And that's a HUGE issue. SSH keys are easy to manage in comparison to PassKeys.

    So? We have information that Fable was distilled from humans. If it works it works. Isn't that the argument? AI outputs are not copyrightable, so distillation is fair use. It may b…

    How? Where are they stored? Which password protects them? How do I back them up? How do you move them to another device? Can I print them out on paper as a last resort measure? Nob…

    A password has the best recovery process. Period. Write it down somewhere. It's up to me, no third party. I had more trouble with a failed 2FA than with a password.

    I would feel a lot better using SSH keys rather than passkeys. At least those are understandable.

    What if I lose all my apple devices? House break-in and they steal my mac and my phone? You're basically fucked even if you buy a new one because you need one of the other two to l…

    Same here, also what if I lose the device? I can safely write down a password on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere phyisically safe. Passkeys and 2FA are a usability nightmare…

    It's too conservative, on my Air M4 I run gemma-4-12B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL fine with llama.cpp The app states "Small Models (1-3B)".

    You can run it in JSLinux if you don't want to risk it running locally: Go here: https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?cpu=x86_64&url=alpine-x8... And run: bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http…

    Excellent article! I think it has the right level of detail, one question though: why the shape of the tensor? 4x8x11. That I didn't get from the text.
