From experience: the iPhone’s panorama photo mode works to take pictures like this from a train.

I realized that in the age of LLMs I appreciate Julia’s writing even more. Authentic exploration as an antidote to overconfident know-it-all generated junk articles.

What’s much and what isn’t depends on the context. One hair on your head isn’t much but one hair in your soup is.

“We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue st…

What I missed in the article: the curves of the three “cone kinds” overlap. What if you could stimulate kinds of cones individually to see entirely new colors? Some people shoot la…

Interesting that this got posted now: the project is receiving increasingly more skepticism lately in the Dutch tech scene [0], and I think that’s fully justified. [0]: https://www…

I’m in the very same situation currently. A coworker vibe coded a PR for me to review. I asked: normally I would ask “why did you do xyz”, but what are you going to do now, proxy t…

Mullvad is Swedish, right?

This article is incomplete without examples.

Incredible what mobile phones and browsers can do nowadays. I remember implementing this paper from 1993 (the absolutely OG for this topic and very readable): “Display of The Earth…

Rewriting it using an LLM is one. But did all the contributors became as proficient in Rust as they were in Zig over night as well?

That’s because of the primary energy fallacy: https://medium.com/@jan.rosenow/have-we-been-duped-by-the-pr... TL;DR: the efficiency of converting fossil energy resources into somet…

Do they maintain the original connection between the fibers or is that not worth the effort and is a swap not a problem?

Wouldn’t using opaque tokens have avoided the problem altogether?

They do other unholy things. I don’t know what, but consistently while playing music on my HomePod opening that site makes it stutter within a few minutes, fully stop working short…

TL;DR: medical case report of a guy who inhaled hydrogen gas, lit a cigarette, blew up internally and survived.

I think there are two angles to look at this. Yes, there’s the attack on the weblog. But there’s also pressure on archive.today, e.g. an FBI investigation [1] and some entity using…

You repeat the same mistake here: > I'm simply talking about the simple improbability of, out of all possible lives I could have had, mine being one this relatively comfortable and…

Your thinking is flawed. It seems to assume that you were pulled from a pool of souls and got assigned to an organism somewhere in time. That’s not the case. What makes you “you” i…

I think “simulate” would’ve been a more accurate word than “build”.

Nice, thanks and I agree.

Well that depends on your luck, it could be a valid one about 1/16th of the time.

Anyone knows why this is called “decryption”? I thought that the mechanism was simply a fuse that would deny reading/debugging operations, is there actual crypto involved?

This article (with high slop vibes) and another article on their site (linked in the comments) seem to suggest that post quantum encryption mitigated the Sybil attack, without expl…
