    You mean people come to hate code reviews. If you don't use those rules, you'll argue about something else in the code reviews. Likely something even more ambigous that wasn't expl…

    I am surprised by the rather bad output. It doesn't achieve qwen image 1 quality in composition or anatomical correctness. Tested on chat.qwen.ai I am seeing third legs and glowing…

    Apple has some clever mechanics to protect user data. I had to work with App tracking stuff lately and their approach to keeping user details private with anonymized cohorts (SKAN,…

    Mechanical exoskeletons should amplify your strength, not atrophy it. If the brain is like a muscle, it won't work.

    Do we really have no way to build this in a single programming language and base database? IndexDB, Postgres, Javascript, Typescript, Clojure. Not bad, but not much more attractive…

    Collaboration has structure. The structure is the result of "the activity to create and maintain a shared understanding of a problem in order to solve it" - which is a definition o…

    They also support a large number of previous OS. If you hard reset your 2013 Mac, it'll download OSX Mountain Lion.

    My mistake, seems like I was refering to the Siri voice, which seems to be the default. It sounds good. It is selectable and to my surprise - even configurable in speed, pitch and …

    macOS already has some great intrinsic TTS capability as the OS seems to include a naturally sounding voice. I recently built a similar tool to just run the "say" command as a back…

    Boston Dynamics posted a youtube video on gripper (hand) design yesterday. They argue for two fingers and a thumb. I don't believe this product.
