I thought I was the only one who realized how much Claude called things “load bearing”. I’ve mentioned it to colleagues and they hadn’t noticed.

I once worked as a contractor at a startup whose CEO had little trophies on display in a wall case showing off funding rounds for previous startups. There were like 3 employees and…

They believed in the company’s Mission™ (brand tortillas).

It’s “censorship” when he gets downvoted for extreme right wing commentary, like supporting the complete elimination of USAID for one example.

Good times indeed. Similar to you, my first Linux install was MkLinux on a PowerMac 7100. And I had completely forgotten about the mouse button issue until you mentioned it. I vagu…

The article failed to describe the problem or a solution. But it was fun seeing the phrase “paradigm shift” again, which feels very 1998.

I once wrote a Xbox 360 indie game that would crash only in unusual situations due to stack overflow. The game involved essentially gluing together balls, and it would detect if th…

I’m getting somewhat sick of Christian Nationalist trolls running the US government.

I can imagine it! It should be called the Imagine Phone, or iPhone for short.

I mean, it's Anthropic‘s front end, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?

My local bowling alley charges $130 for shoes and 1 hour of bowling for 4 people off-peak. That scales up to $220 peak rates (e.g. Saturday night). It’s in the middle of a major ci…

True, PHM was not the best example.

This type of remastering (and remixing) has been happening for a while now. Lots of newer releases of classic albums of the CD era have remasters with less compression. Pretty Hate…

I thought the same. Possibly because I recently wrote a compiler/interpreter for the Action! language. Not terribly useful in its current state, but most of the language is support…

I get the same coil whine on my laptop (AMD Radeon Mobile GPU) whenever I run GPU heavy code.

Though I used it for 2 years of it as my primary language at work, I never quite got used to Ruby's quirky idioms like this. It just reads badly to me, in terms of quickly understa…

It seems unlikely to be a cgnat issue since the phone uses WiFi rather than cellular networks (where cgnat is most commonly found).

You are describing selective breeding. GMO is different. It involves the laboratory isolation of genes, and techniques to introduce said genes into an organism such that its DNA is…

This metaphor is quite stretched. A more fitting metaphor would be something like... If you had the ability to read all the books in the library extremely quickly, and to make usef…

NMS systems are useful for monitoring large networks where something is likely to fail due to sheer quantity of devices/interfaces. Visualization is secondary to state capture and …

Most games were primarily C. 3D performance came from the graphics hardware, which had straightforward C APIs and dedicated texture RAM. The machine lacked a floating point process…

That was precisely the goal of many high level languages.

Designing biological tools is not a commonly accepted bar for AGI.

So true. My first parser was for a little text adventure I wrote. I didn't know parsing was a thing people might write about, so I just muddled through some text manipulation in At…
