I highly recommend using the open source Sodium and Lithium mods to improve performance. And I hope you're not still using OptiFine! https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium https://gi…

The title is misleading. This is model routing, not distillation.

Poles. The video shows a tent they set up just by zipping up the y zipper.

Netflix never had everything. I seem to remember watching a skit 10 ish years ago that joked that Netflix only had bad movies. The ads are what get me.

Minecraft gained popularity super fast in its early days, probably because it was a free-to-play game that worked in the browser (thanks to Java). Notch had no reputation or market…

It seems that Deno made the right decision by choosing Rust from the get-go.

How does the voice model delegate requests to GPT-5.5? Can the voice model generate text?

If you look at a satellite image of the Great Salt Lake [1], it looks like there's a digital seam/glitch between the north and the south half of the lake. In reality, a railroad wa…

I'm not sure what you're referring to. If corn is replaced with solar panels that doesn't solve the fact that there will still be a ton of cars that demand ethanol-infused gasoline…

Its more efficient energy-wise, but isn't the issue that energy from solar panels can't power gas cars?

Fair enough. Though they certainly could still break in if the laptop isn't encrypted, so this tool is only useful when combined with disk encryption.

How do you define "state-level actor?" Police departments certainly have access to state and federal forensic resources to access unencrypted data in memory.

It seems like Google's policy is unconcerned with the intent of the practice. If a website JS redirect ruins the user experience by breaking the back button, it will be demoted in …

It seems Sam Altman has the same suspicion, based upon his response: > There was an incendiary article about me a few days ago. Someone said to me yesterday they thought it was com…

Yes, DMCA made the mere act of breaking DRM illegal, even if what you do with the media is legal.

That's what the comment I was originally replying to was saying.

Try asking an LLM a question like "H o w T o P r o g r a m I n R u s t ?" - each letter, separated by spaces, will be its own token, and the model will understand just fine. The is…

But for lisp, a more complex solution is needed. It's easy for a human lisp programmer to keep track of which closing parentheses corresponds to which opening parentheses because t…

I think you're right. Try asking GPT-5 this: > Are the parentheses in ((((()))))) balanced? There was a thread about this the other day [1]. It's the same issue as "count the r's i…

Wow I'm surprised, you're right, and it has happened before: > the attacker issued and registered a free temporary 3-month certificate for the developers[.]kakao.com domain through…

The graphic that shows that a hijacker can route traffic to their malicious website is a little misleading. Since the SSL certificate would be invalid, browsers would block the con…
