The author has clearly never tried to leg press 300+ pounds in the gym to Madonna's "Like a Virgin". Sometimes the biggest sell of earbuds is noise REDUCTION, not what sounds they …

Another reality is that at that scale you need to diversify your vendor portfolio so you never get stuck in a single-vendor scenario (for contracts, liability or scale). Many compa…

You're absolutely right! (sorry couldn't resist)

I don't think consolidation will ever happen, the AI space is already dominated by a few whales. Seems most of the open weight models are from outside the USA (shocker), going to b…

(report card for an0malous): "Does not play nice with other students."

You're absolutely right! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) I could be the lone dissenter here, but to me well-written comments are a lot more fun to read than near-gibberish. I wished more…

The world changes. Time marches on, and the very skills you spend your time developing will inevitably expire in their usefulness. Things that were once marvelous talents are now c…

The only places where a 4-way stop has room to make a roundabout are places where there is not enough traffic for it to matter either way. The biggest obstacle is that there are ju…

This is ultimately the first question I have whenever someone tells me about a bouncing new AI shiny... "Where does my data go?" Because if it does not stay on my machine, hard pas…

I'd say the exact opposite, "doing this will get YOU fired" is the strongest possible message.

What I want to know is the privacy impact of this partnership. I see terms like "Apple will be running Google's models on their infrastructure" but that definitely is not enough de…

You're absolutely correct!

> People listening to music for free is less than a drop of water in the ocean of causative reasons musicians get fucked. Astonishingly ignorant hot take. Music is what MUSICIANS D…

Although I agree with the overall sentiment of the article, the reality in 2025 is that it is a totally dead market and we are still trying to figure out WTH is going on. Some comp…

Hol up How can it be AGPL and not provide full source? AGPL is like the most aggressive of the GPL license variants. If they somehow circumvented the intent behind this license tha…

Each use case, which for many is a project-by-project thing, likely determines the right tool for the job. For new projects, I find Claude Code extremely helpful, as I start out wi…

I closed the tab as soon as I saw `ignorecase = true`. Absolutely NOT going there again. * points at numerous scars and trauma

Definitely not seeing the horrendous collapse of the once mighty Apple. That said, they have always been behind the curve with AI, and recent product releases/updates have been, uh…

That is because I do not think Google's aims for captcha are the same as ours. I can tell you that as soon as you download Chrome and login to any Google account of yours, the capt…

Hey, there's a really cool new tool that you could use to add this feature, I think it was called 'memex' or something like that. (sorry couldn't resist) Been playing around with t…

It is a public website and a public service - it's like saying "hey I got free lemonade here, but you can't have it unless I decide I like you first." If you're giving something aw…

Fire it up in a docker container and limit the RAM usage that way. This is a trick I learned years ago with other mmap-based systems.

This actually strikes at the heart of the disconnect between open source philosophy and common vernacular. I've argued for years that "free" does NOT mean "free to use as long as y…

Apple needs to just put Siri down and launch a brand new, ground-up service/feature that completely changes the subject. That is a win for them, and we finally get rid of the most …

> I think teaching requires not only that you understand how to do something, but also what someone else's incomplete understanding is. This 100%. I have been playing guitar since …
