    Teslas do glithcy speed limits readings often, from GPS drift (ie. it thinks the car is on the highway) or may be deceived by some sign with numbers on the street. When that happen…

    Just tell AI to write your copy and that's what you get, overhype-as-a-service.

    This is the first impression I got, a glass ceiling on AI that will hit the market hard. Timing was right at the late Friday's let's-avoid-the-crash point, we'll see how this flies…

    MS is not so deep with OpenAI, it's not all black and white, they have signed several distribution deals where Claude drives Copilot [1], since Anthropic and MS are better aligned …

    I have it as failover to Opus 4.6 in a Claude proxy internally. People don't notice a thing when it triggers, maybe a failed tool call here and there (harness remains CC not OC) or…

    We hit that problem 3 or 4 weeks ago and then we rolled back to version 2.1.44 and that apparently solved the fast consumption issue. Our problems started when we moved to the clau…

    I'm trying to imagine this new paid app in different angles and versions, ie a new Reddit... Pay to be in there, get paid for being in there, only humans can be in there, ads pay f…

    Their target is the Enterprise anyway. So they are apparently willing to enrage their non-CC user base over vendor-locking. But this is not the equivalent of Oracle over Postgres, …

    They did not. Anthropic is protecting its huge asset: the Claude Code value chain, which has proven itself to be a winner among devs (me included, after trying everything under the…

    That's a legal non-starter for all car companies. They would be made liable for every car incident where self-driving vehicles were spotted in close vicinity, independently of the …

    Google is in that game too with "AI Mode", stealing traffic from ChatGPT. But as OP and other threads here highlighted, the other ~half of the gold sits in more fenced communities …

    3% market share is 150 million active users give or take. That's no death by any count in the software world. Gosh, I really wish Mozilla would just dig into their user-base and fi…

    Just the set the record straight on how and why these acquisitions go at IBM. This is a first hand account working at and with IBM and competitors and being in the room as tech-guy…

    Yes there was a reason as Perl took inspiration from Lisp - everything is a list- and everyone knows how quick C's variadic arguments get nasty. So @_ was a response to that issue,…

    Not only the movie theater, Netflix killed social life . Well, streaming, feeds and their algorithms in general, but Netflix is very much the ones that really owned the narrative o…

    Fine, but there's a noticeable asymmetry in how the three languages get treated. Go gets dinged for hiding memory details from you. Rust gets dinged for making mutable globals hard…

    Yeah, now they are part of Anthropic, who haven't figured out monetization themselves. Shikes! I'm a user of Bun and an Anthropic customer. Claude Code is great and it's definitely…

    As far as the data goes, adjusted for inflation, tuition and fees have eased up in the last ~5 years [1]. But overall, college enrollment has been going down anyway [2], except for…

    Not very encouraging to imagine ChatGPT to be the first earthling to reach another star system, but that's an option we'll have to keep on the table, at least for the time being...…

    Perl was the internet in 1990s. People (me) who were doing unix systems work (C, shell, Perl and some DBs and FTPs) could now quickly throw a CGI script behind an Apache HTTP serve…

    This is the multi-million dollar .unwrap() story. In a critical path of infrastructure serving a significant chunk of the internet, calling .unwrap() on a Result means you're sayin…

    This. There's just as many human commenters and content creators that generate plenty of human slop. And there are many AI produced content that is very, very interesting. I've sub…
