Yes, this kind of thing seems to happen quite often. Popular posts spurring further posts on a theme.

Garmin lets you connect your device as an USB storage device and manage everything manually though. I do this to completely skip online uploading, and am keeping track of stats usi…

Glad to hear if it meets your needs!

Pardon the plug, but I thought I'd point out that I think SciCommander [1], or the ideas behind it, could be very relevant for this stack. It does capture a provenance graph for an…

I don't know ... I actually think I'm quite aware of a lot of how complicated many things can be. Perhaps it is because I was really curious as a kid about how things work, peeked …

I think it is simply designed that way. In my experience sparks are generally generated when quite small metal surfaces get in contact at high speeds, meaning they can generate a l…

I'll second the rec for Brave search. Been a happy user for at least 1-2 years now. Its AI summaries are great and, I have the feeling it works a little better than DuckDuckGo for …

This was/is not a controlled scientific experiment. It is a blog post.

Well, I was referring to "value" here in a very pragmatic sense, in terms of the ability to come with "novel" thoughts and ideas. And I argue that the notion of AI models having ov…

While I understand this is a PR talk for a startup, I think the text itself contains a number of interesting observations. Regarding the idea of distributed models communicating wi…

> Anthropic is actively campaigning to end software engineering While this may be slightly overstated, my take on this is that AI progress should have us upgrade our view of the hu…

As much as I'm put away by the dependency horror I've seen in many Rust projects, this is an interesting observation.

Steve Francia (author of Hugo and a bunch of other top Go projects) wrote up some thoughts of Go's fit in the agentic era: https://spf13.com/p/go-the-agentic-language/

Quite thought-provoking, and connecting it to a related field it seems the (relative) success of LLMs and the likes are indications that enough data can at least learn you somethin…

Is this the same guy behind https://iwantosequencemygenomeathome.com/ ? [Edit: Apparently no. That link is by Seth Howes, who also shared the OP post though: https://x.com/SethSHow…

As someone who has spent some time in sub-saharan Africa, I can tell you that there is lots that can be done if just seeing the possibilities. Not everyone everywhere are "engineer…

Glad to see more languages adopt true goroutines [edit: lightweight threads or fibers] with M:N scheduling. Surprised more haven't. Among compiled language I'm only aware of Go and…

No, this was pure speculation based on what seems like a popular view on where Mojo ended up, where the initial Python-focus don't seem to help it that much anymore.

As a meta comment, I'm surprised such a news is not reaching the frontpage already.

Maybe Chris was a little unhappy about where Mojo ended up, and sees this as an opportunity to start anew on a properly designed language from scratch :D

I'm actually mostly worried about the future of Mojo at this time. Though hopefully it will be fully released open source still, but I feel there are question marks around whether …
