Refreshing to see model announcements without claiming #1 in some benchmark. The amount of documentation seems very immature [0]. No system card provided - compared to Opus 4.8 whi…

I don't think so at all. Models are trained in many ways and are changing aggressively, resulting in different patterns in different regions, domains, languages, and will be differ…

Nice! That sounds like a good change. I'll try to dive a bit deeper through docs once I find some time :)

The syntax is of course attractive (coming from Rust), and I'd love to replace more of my posix scripts with something saner. I struggle understanding whether the utility of having…

The Noto fonts have great coverage: https://notofonts.github.io/overview/

Shout-out to the React Compiler for those that have not tried it. It's very easy to configure and can automatically deal with many cases of useMemo / useCallback / memo to reduce b…

The term non-player character (NPC) will become ever more relevant. I used to dislike it as I felt everyone adds signal, but if all you are doing is relaying information then that …

One issue with this argument is that there are very few engineers that have had the opportunity to design satellites that are; this large, are designed for mass manufacturing, rapi…

> The point is that they're absolutely not in isolation from other challenges because designing something to radiate heat at maximum possible radiative cooling efficiency is not co…

I read the comment that I replied to as these challenges being a large prohibitor to this development, and I pointed out that these seem like challenges that can be dealt with most…

As problems go, radiation and cooling seem to have relatively low dimensionality compared to the other problems. It seems to be mostly a question of optimizing within the dimension…

I fully agree on the reality distortions and valuation chaos surrounding Tesla. This does also follow from the company being very volatile and chaotic, which becomes harder to pric…

Beyond aggressively optimistic timelines, I find it difficult to disagree with the premise. The aggressively optimistic timelines is also what makes it feasible to even attempt the…

> And we are on the same side, to be clear. I want privacy. I care about far more than privacy. These matters are about societal stability, the panopticon, societal robustness in c…

That is the exact point. A "best intentions" approach to e.g. solve age verification through a "privacy respecting" mechanism leads to the government mandating that only physical d…

I don't care for a limited and selective best-possible interpretation of a subset of measures viewed in isolation. The point is that a broader set of vectors are being used continu…

Speaking from the POV of my country, you absolutely have prime minister + minister level understandings that seem to plainly be based on issues such as "we need to stop children fr…

Age restrictions + VPN bans + encryption restrictions + client-side monitoring + restricting general purpose computing.. It's just rapid descent into digital fascism set up by peop…

Annoying to see slop like this on the front page taking up people's attention. Resource utilization connected to new infrastructure that is planned to be scaled exponentially is cl…

It's frustrating to see how shortsighted and tech-illiterate politicians are on these topics. This article from Norway today presents the attitude of the minister of digitization a…

Agreed - $255 sounded too good to be true. Fingers crossed it doesn't end up too crazy, because that chassis looks good!

I'm amazed looking at the upgrade kit. It's everything you need to go from the old 13" to the Pro; including chassis, display, battery, keyboard etc - listed at $255. That's an ins…

Garage has worked well for me and gives a good sense of stability. They provide helm charts for deployment and a CLI. There's also very few concepts to learn to start to use it, wh…

Got curious to see whether SymPy could be used to evaluate the expressions, so I used Claude Code to build a quick evaluator. Numeric and symbolic results appear to agree: nix run …

They have an annoying sandbox issue which pollutes your repository root with a set of empty files. Not the cleanest tool, but the paradigm is a big upgrade to previous AI coding. .…
