It's possible and even likely there's industrial espionage going on. But imo, you don't need that. I've worked in cutting edge industries, and even when you don't know what your co…

It's interesting how OpenAI and Anthropic effectively mass dumped a bunch of similar features in the last two days. I wonder what other features they're cooking right now.

Maybe it just shows my lack of tolerance for process/overhead. As a fellow rebase enjoyer, I will do it occasionally for smaller PRs but to me, it becomes unwieldy for large ones. …

Let's forget that this post is an ad. I feel like there is a use for LLMs that could help us do stacked PRs better. Right now there are effectively three ways to do a PR: - a bunch…

Daisy chaining finally supported.

I was thinking a similar thing when reading the article. Often, the validity of the input depends on the interaction between some of them. Sure, we can follow the advice of creatin…

> We already had that disaster where pop-ups fly out "do you want to accept those cookies". That is just a usability nightmare. People are forced into extensions, just to stop wast…

The quality and usefulness of it aside, the primary question is: are they still collecting chats for training data? If so, it limits how comfortable, and sometimes even permitted, …

I agree that is performant enough for many applications, I work in the field. But it isn't performant enough to run large scale LLM inference with reasonable latency. Especially no…

Interestingly enough, it is possible to do private inference in theory, e.g. via oblivious inference protocols but prohibitively slow in practice. You can also throw a model into a…

These are fair points but the weight of their impact is a misconception. Times and times again, lower capital and investment risk aversion are shown to be the limiting factors.

There's a lot of truth and real pain points in the article but others miss the point entirely. Two things that stand out to me in particular: - C "standard" is quite flaky in pract…

I've been camera scanning 4x5 and I'm happy with the results. Take two offset photos and stitch them in post. Mind you, I scan with pixel shift for higher res.

As someone who has a mirrorless scanning setup for my film, and pondered getting a dedicated scanner... the price of this is quite steep given how inflexible of a tool it is. A sec…

I don't know if it's still true in the recent versions of Scala (stopped caring in 2018) but it used to have implicit parameters designed specifically for passing context like this…

Anecdata but I also had good experiences reaching out to MEPs, so not all is lost. At its core, the core issue seems to be the lack of accountability between the MEP, and people th…

Usual reminder -- if you're an EU citizen, call up your representative.

All can be true depending on the business/person: 1. My company cannot justify this cost at all. 2. My company can justify this cost but I don't find it useful. 3. My company can j…

The issue with many of these tips is that they require you use to claude code (or codex cli, doesn't matter) to spend way more time in it, feed it more info, generate more outputs …

Yup, I prefer Lightroom to Capture One, especially for film-related workflows. But I just can't go back to their predatory pricing practices, and the absolute malware of a programm…

Source: I have a relationship with OpenSSF but not directly involved. I'm involved in a "competing" standard. As other commenters pointed out this is "just" a signature. However, i…

Hmmm, there're no scientific work that really let's you do these things right now. And the repo doesn't cite any work, no associated paper.

I agree with your point that government overreach is more serious. Which is why I want to emphasize that various government police (like FBI) notoriously buy data that they would n…

Might is irrelevant and doesn't prevent any abuse, nor does it foster innovative environment. Both the EU and the US, need to pick a side. Either they should make it illegal and es…
