Would open sourcing it make you feel like the results might be compromised? I'd rather keep it private so it's specific to my use cases and not included in any training date (no ma…

This is an interesting idea, without giving away your benchmarks specifically what kind of stuff do you test? I might try to assemble something myself, it's so hard to determine mo…

I am increasingly wondering if we are in a post-language world in terms of development. Why would I ask an agent to write a server in anything other than the most efficient languag…

It's the first thing on the linked page: Realtime database Authentication File storage Admin dashboard

I would argue that it helps me when performing maintenance to see and correct where types may have changed. Not always, and sometimes it is busy work I agree, but overall I prefer …

I agree, and I'm not sure how something like 'var accounts = calculateAccounts(something)' can be thought of as better in a code review setting. I suspect using "var" or equivalent…

Side note, the Connection Machine is pretty much the coolest looking computer ever: https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/story/73 It looks exactly to me what a powerful and s…

I can understand the frustration from a climate change perspective, but you still get the benefits of cleaner air locally, increasing energy independence and freedom from commodity…

This is kind of happening at scale in China right now (only some brands are pursuing it though): https://restofworld.org/2024/ev-battery-swapping-china/ It's an interesting trade o…

My understanding is that this the vulnerability only allows memory access to related Safari/Webkit processes (specifically those sites that were opened with a window.open call). So…

And here's a link to the new version for convenience: https://earth.google.com/

It's hard not to think that both Honda and Toyota are just trying to convince EV buyers to delay their purchase since something "much better" is about to be released, or at least u…

It should be considered a failure of our profession that after all these years the number 1 issue is still out of bounds write, a memory safety issue. In any true engineering profe…

It’s very healthy to be skeptical. I’m no expert but the current status appears to be a successful test of the merge on a public testnet and an expectation that it will happen on m…

I very happily use this technique and I believe I found out about it from your original blog post. Thanks for the original writeup and for the update on how it's going a few years …

Has anybody tried this and can share their experiences? It sounds really cool, but it's usually the edge cases that determine whether something like this is actually good or not. T…

Agree, it's a straight up reduction in code readability for all future maintainers so a single original developer can avoid doing a thing their IDE probably would do for them autom…

None of these feel particularly true to me, but in particular "less code is more readable" is just so clearly not true. If this was the case we'd all still be using Perl.

Is that pricing for an additional service that is optional, or is it required to operate the card? I'm confused.

I'm not an expert, but in a recent article about the new mRNA synthesis techniques they were asked the same question. The answer was there's already lots of potential bioweapons an…
