I really constantly have to fight the urge to NOT say/write something because it might be obvious or someone might have said it before. Just say it. I recently gave a talk about le…

> Two small fixes, in order. First, each cut endpoint is allowed to slide a tiny bit (up to 60ms) to land in the quietest spot nearby. If there’s a momentary lull in the audio just…

Huh, I think the author might be deliberately ignoring how MCP works? - "CLIs need to be published, managed, and installed" -- same for MCP servers which you have to define in your…

Except that when its system prompt is full of instructions, caveats, design principles, gotchas, architecture notes, memories from the past, and personal preferences, at some point…

Does that mean Widevine DRM will be supported officially? Does anyone know?

That is really a bit of an oversimplification IMO. Please check, for example, the Netflix tech blog and read about what has changed in the past 10 years or so when it comes to arch…

It's just plain Ubuntu actually! I would provide a fix, since getting a PTY is not enough. I can't open a PR because it's not possible with the way you hosted it.

I've been looking for something like this, awesome! Is it expected that it does not allocate a TTY for sudo password prompts when connecting to a remote machine via SSH? How would …

Um, yes. That's the entire joke.

These LLM-generated blogs aren't going away – they're everywhere. And the best part? You can now instantly push out garbage content at no cost. Traditional writing is not just dead…

Yeah it's a weird comparison to be making. It all depends on how they selected the quality (VMAF) target during encoding. You couple easily end up with other results had they, say,…

This VMAF comparison is to be taken with a grain of salt. Netflix' primary goal was to reduce the bitrate consumption, as can be seen, while roughly keeping the same nominal qualit…

Same experience here – it seems I have to specifically tell it to use the "X skill" to trigger it reliably. I guess with all the different rules set up for Claude to follow, it nee…

Totally agree with you - the dermal exposure is a different pathway, and that could be more clearly mentioned. The fact that these materials are present are not automatically hazar…

The Austrian consumer protection association has just released results on tests of headphones: https://vki.at/Presse/PA-Kopfhoerer-2025 (German article), and found that 40% contain…

While that would be nicer from an end-user perspective, it's something hard to maintain for FFmpeg itself. Consider the velocity of the whisper-cpp project. I'm sure that – just li…

Yeah, look at what https://x.com/badlogicgames has done porting an engine with the help of Claude Code. He's set up a TODO loop to perform this: https://github.com/badlogic/claude-…

Note that it's not really "cleaned up" insofar as there is a uv cache folder that will grow bigger over time as you keep using that feature.

Some thoughts based on my anecdotal experience — but it depends on the price you are willing to pay. You can get quite good webcams for $100–300 (from Insta360, Obsbot, Logitech ma…

Since when is the WordPress ecosystem this … bad? I built WP websites 10-15 years ago and it was a quite straightforward experience back then. These days, there seems to be no arou…

Gave it a bunch of technical papers and standards, and while it's making up stuff that just isn't true, this is to be expected from the underlying system. This can be fixed, e.g., …

Last time I checked, they did. In fact their 2FA system is so messed up that it thinks my mobile number is an authenticator app, and so I can't even request a code to delete the 2F…

The error occurred right after granting permissions from my Google account. The permissions were granted but I could never access your application page. I just tried again, now I g…

Yes, I mean cold sales emails – marketers reaching out to CEOs or other decision makers, selling them staff augmentation services, growth hacking, marketing support, lead generatio…

Unfortunately, not in a business context, where marketers can claim "legitimate interest" in various ways. Also, in which way would it matter that they are illegal? Random companie…
