I'd be interested, but they don't even list any anthropic model on their code review benchmark, so I feel like they haven't really tested their benchmark on SOTA models.

Why would I ever connect my fridge to the internet? I cannot fathom any feature on a fridge that would incline me towards giving it the wifi credentials.

Well, I think that justice has been served. The feds' prosecution of Ulbricht was the epitome of throwing the book at someone to make an example, when the government's case was pre…

As someone who is wading through a bloated Devin PR right now, this article resonates with me. A direct link might be useful to some: [1] 1: https://www.answer.ai/posts/2025-01-08-…

Wow, this made me really emotional. And even though I definitely did not expect a chill Bali DJ set as the motivational link, it also resonated with me in some way. I can't think o…

Ah, imagine that candy bar of omnivitamins! The rush of invigoration you'd get from a single morsel. Wow!

Perhaps I am underthinking things here, but this seems like a good use case to just use UDP here. Save all the power consumed in the original connection set up and just the router …

Wow, I have been looking for a resource like this for years. I had put the question more in the form of, what year did they call it in Rome what we now call the year 1 AD? Now I kn…

The existence of a configuration that limits attestation to a probabilistic phenomenon seems like a very thin foundation to stand on here - if it can be changed to requiring 100% a…

I have vouched for this article because it blew my mind. I had no idea that there are left-leaning, feminist-identifying women who held such views. I wish this article laid out a m…

How can it be possible that there is @AI tagging in groups within the E2EE context? The AI generation must run on server side, probably through an OpenAI API, so the text of the co…

I have personally taken a tour of the NIF at Livermore. The guide was an old hand, who constantly remarked about the efforts of NIF towards "stockpile stewardship," ie the maintena…

I have been using fastmail as a single personal account for the past year or so, so I don't have much to add to your technical assessment. However, I have been considering changing…

I find this really cool, kudos to the author for trying to build up an understanding from the actual data. I find it interesting to see that the median temps in these select cities…

I assume you are talking about the chrome plugin "the great suspender"; I am not sure what controversy you refer to? What happened to it?

I think that it has some really nice advantages, but it has some glaring issues that make its use case somewhat limited. When you are defining some component and you can define exa…

What is a CRPG?

I think the first piece of real advice I can give you is to seek therapy. Find someone who listens to you and try to explain what you are feeling to them. These problems are not un…

I am with you on this. Lately I have noticed that I've googled for an issue, find a low quality site with relevant results, and later discover that it's just a copy of the GitHub i…

After the CSAM scanning debacle came out this year, it pushed me towards being far less reliant on any cloud servers and I set up a home NAS, transferred my photos to it, deleted e…

I listened to Art Bell's coast to coast AM program a few times as a kid, and I think it doesn't need to much in the way of introduction. I vote that you just dive in, but I will sa…

Link broken! Sad

Airplane mode definitely does not disable Bluetooth - especially if you are using airpods or other Bluetooth headsets. BT radio will stay on so you can keep listening through the f…

I've been considering using the same sort of reverse-psychology approach on myself. I use YouTube to distract myself all the time and I'm a premium subscriber, so I don't have the …

Their tactic of degrading ux when you don't give them permissions has been happening for a long time. Accounts in WhatsApp have a username, but if you don't enable contact permissi…
