Why wouldn’t you be surprised?

No it makes it sound like much of the rest of the world drives on the right.

My understanding is that VLC and FFMpeg are both projects which develop in house codecs and also incorporate codecs developed by third parties.

I assume it’s a GPL workaround.

Did banning it cause it to get adopted even faster in India than it otherwise would have? That seems like the salient point to me for the Indian government’s calculus. I don’t have…

I found that if you allow any low value things into memory, Claude will notice that established pattern and start trying to add low value memories at an ever increasing pace.

If all you want is a chat interface you can install Claude.ai as a PWA. The value proposition of the Claude desktop app includes being able to screenshot and interact with desktop …

The recents list on my browser got changed to newest so I end up checking it by accident.

There’s a slash command that’ll look through your conversation history to add allow permissions.

Pre-agricultural Hunter-gatherer bands aren’t a monolith. Many were radically egalitarian, yes, many others were strictly hierarchical including slavery and human sacrifice. A surp…

That isn’t how they were pitched to the FTC but it does appear to be their ultimate use case.

That’s like saying the solution to cigarettes is that tobacco shops must be forced to sell clove cigarettes as a not-addictive alternative.

I was just looking at these funny parts: https://www.vicorpower.com/products?productType=cfg&productK... 130A, 48V -> 1.2V @ 94% efficiency! Except: - $100 ea. - Fixed 1/40 voltage…

Language changes could help for sure. There’s a library implementation we can use right now though: https://facet.rs/ Basically a derive macro for reflection. Yeah it’s one (more) …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_M-15_Belphegor The M-15 is still uglier. Also intended as a cropduster, though unlike the AirTruk it was really bad at that job in every way.

Was the Nuscale cost estimate somehow worse than AP1000 or EPR(2)? That seems very unlikely to me given the history of those programs.

Out of all the SSO login flows Microsoft has to have the buggiest. It’s the only one I can remember routinely having issues with. Why are there so many redirects? And why doesn’t t…

The modern Atari has no relation to the original Atari. They’re essentially copyright trolls. I do not believe we owe them any moral obligation for the works they bought from the o…

Uniqlo offers a few 3D knit items, I’ve been meaning to try them out. Pretty basic styles though.

Only 92 of the 842 peers are hereditary currently, so it’s not really necessary to convince them to agree; the deal only needs to be seen as fair enough by the other peers. Or real…

I assume the TensTorrent TT-Ascalon is one of the CPU designs.

Really? Could you point at one of these shell companies?

I don't think that is compatible with his ruling in Biden v. Nebraska, nor some others during Biden's term.

It seems likely to me the ruling took this long because John Roberts wanted to get a more unanimous ruling. Additionally, the law in this case isn’t ill defined whatsoever. Alito, …

If the US really wanted to make a durable shift to manufacturing, presidential tariffs by fiat aren’t a good strategy anyway. Tariffs could be a small part of that strategy but the…
