https://highsight.dev/ should work for that!

Historical weather data is discrete. You need continuous state for weather modelling which is currently achieved through conventional reforecasts using those historical observation…

Substack is unreadable for anyone in Australia, as it forces you unnecessarily through age verification.

It drives me insane when in Europe the link between Google Search and Google Maps is broken and I often have to copy paste an address between the two. Thanks EU, what if I like Goo…

K shaped economy.

Really a check-mate move from Apple. Onerous limitations that apply to everyone except the mega-corps.

Just one wrinkle.

Subsidies make anything possible. Your grandkids will be paying for that fibre. Starlink is revolutionary for long last-mile links that will never be economic.

Australia has the same system. We don't have 25gbit, we have very expensive 1gbit asymmetric, and extremely expensive 1gbit symmetric. What gives?

If only this was applied evenly. Why is every Samsung/LG/literally every non-Pixel device full of uninstallable crapware?

No more foxhole radios for the PoW https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxhole_radio

It's an extremely un-European approach. European companies normally ignore their paid customers too from May to August.

Why do I need to age verify to read this?

AI is amazing at reverse engineering, especially if you can give it a live feedback loop.

Weird case of the software letting the hardware down. You did the hard part guys!

+1 almost all from the US. The strongest signal is whether they use an eBank/app that has a one-click button to report transactions as fraudulent. The Apple card(?) seems especiall…

Good. They treated their customers terribly and actions have consequences. I was double charged for a flight and they just refused to acknowledge it until I charged back, after whi…

In the short term, maybe. I don't think that's the case in the long run. They normalise the behaviour for others, even telling them about how to get around paying. I see strong clu…

Then don't use it. Use BBC weather. The sense of entitlement is insufferable.

For many users it's just not true. I run a subscription weather forecast service for pilots, with a free trial period. A significant number of users reset their device every week t…

I just do not understand how Azure has the scale it does. You only need to login and click around for a bit to see this is not a coherent system designed by competent people. Let a…

Have you never heard of fringe benefits tax?

Shocking how far ahead Claude Code is from Codex on the CLI front.

Water, still wet.

I used to hate Golang for not having generics and how verbose getting basic things done was. Then I read posts like this and realise, my god, Rob Pike was so, so right. Do these pe…
