In this spirit, I prefer to not read any online news, or daily newspaper, but the weekly Economist in print. It has higher quality writing than all the rest, has a built in capacit…

Well, they are just a manifold, so it's fair for them to view every conceptual thing in geometry.

In case you didn't know, The Register has been deliberately using this kind of language about ALL topics for nearly 30 years. It's part of their appeal and brand, like The Onion. P…

I trust a lifelong dedicated Ancient Greek Papyrologist to do a better job here than ChatGPT.

Apple has been doing this since before they were an enormous company. When the iPod Nano was in the works, they bought like 3 years supply outright, to block their competitors. Pre…

I really enjoy the spirit that moved you to write this comment. I want my AI Agents to adopt this attitude.

PEDANT ALERT: This is clearly 16 bit.

Devils Advocate: Switching from ASM to C for videogames defined the 16 bit and 32 bit eras. Switching to C++ defined the (roughly) Xbox and PS2, PS3 eras.

The broad public did catch on. They just know there is some invisible force out there named The Algorithm that acts like some fickle god they must appease in order to do well on th…

No, just different. It's not like he had a goatee.

I suspect the specific versions you call out were in that time period for a reason. Snow Leopard was the first to integrate iOS's CoreAnimation framework. Nearly all animations now…

Time is entropy unfolding as things with nonzero temperature do what they do. Psychological time is your own weights being updated in response to stimuli and internal processing. W…

Buddy, this tone may be why. We genuinely don't understand what your post is about. What is this tool? What are these numbers representative? Why are things sorted in that order? Y…

Sythwave vibe hype hit a cultural high point with the release of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon in 2013. So it's as relevant and baked-in to today as actual 80s synth-culture was in 2000.

It's the same thing with a different name and different default settings.

As an employee, I'm using Antigravity (CLI version) every day (because we can't use Claude) and it rules. I am way more productive than I was with CIDER-V, which itself was very ni…

I can't think of a better manifestation of the biological male imperitive.

12 months ago everyone agreed that Search was doomed, ChatGPT would kill Google, and Bard/Gemini were a joke.

This loss of easter eggs in software, along with the rise of enshittification, both have the same source: Software used to be made by Programmers, with taste and opinions, accordin…

Use Mimestream. It's wonderful and GMail-backend-only fully native Mac App by one of the former lead engineers of the Apple Mail app.

I can (barely, but sustainably) run Q3.5 397B on my Mac Studio with 256GB unified. It cost $10,000 but that's well within reach for most people who are here, I expect.

They already got swiss-cheesed by DOGE though.

They likely saw you as a narc. The law is just an annoying thing getting in the way of our profits.
