    I don't know if an optimization is allowed to "invent" a write, but I would be surprised if an optimizer goes that far because I have to believe that the number of cases where more…

    Funnily I can't reproduce the effect at all. I am using Firefox and with sidebar the content of the page centers on the remaining viewport width, like any other site does. I have a…

    817 kWh here. Though june last year was the record at 904 kWh. Maybe the effect is that solar panels lose efficiency when too hot.

    No, I don't know if they do and honestly this isn't why I wrote what I wrote. But what if I don't want to buy anything from them? I want to de-google and my only choice seems to be…

    The whole GrapheneOS thing is a bit of a joke. So you either have to buy google hardware or you run google software. Anyway, looking forward to the widespread introduction of Wero.…

    One of the rare cases where a vpn actually does help. Though of course only if they don't also turn over records.

    China will likely gain the capability to produce leading edge chips within a decade domestically. From then, occupying Taiwan will be about controlling the wests the access to that…

    I think you were able to buy VS Pro perpetual licenses for one time 500-1000 at all times. Of course they had higher tiers and a subscription model which were more expensive but in…

    I strongly suspect that the horizontal and the vertical strength are not perpendicular. I suspect having a very wide knowledge gives you access to patterns that reproduce across fi…

    I think the point is that: 1. Yes Windows must have "approved" the drivers 2. Windows Update runs automatically and not (usually) manually 3. Automatic update can't even be disable…

    Obviously nobody is incentivized to do that. Nothing to see here.

    Possible. Though I think open source innovation of hobbyists is currently hampered, because of open weights releases by chinese labs. I believe once the labs stop doing this, a glo…

    I think they mean cheat in a Dieselgate sense. You detect that you are being tested with a specific benchmark question and heuristically give the correct (manually programmed) answ…

    No, I have the same experience. Feels crazy that a GPU is too expensive and then the advice is to spend 400$+tokens on openrouter each month.

    Sorry to be that guy. I think the more precise wording would be that you get tokens which would cost $1,000/month at API pricing. Maybe (depending on the profit margin of the API p…

    Which is probably why Apple is now selling to students at what appears to be below cost.

    There goes my plan to use js code generation at runtime to make my algorithms faster. Doing this with wasm will be much harder.

    I didn't. Languages aren't defined by dictionaries. If they were they would not have come into existence in the first place and they wouldn't evolve the way they do.

    I am serving a small web interface to control my shutters on an esp32. I even did the experiment to not parse the request and just always respond with the same response, so a webse…
