I did my thesis on using medioni's tensor voting framework to reconstruct noisy, blurry, low-res and the like images. It was sponsored by USGS on a data set that I thought was a bi…

How does this differ from what Github Copilot does when writing its .github/copilot-instructions.md? That doesn't keep the transcript or prompts, but it does keep quite a bit of th…

Don't forget stand-ins, much of this hasn't discussed that credit card networks do a lot of "stand-ins" when the issuer is unreachable (bank goes down, latency too high, etc). It's…

F** oracle.

Believe it or not clippy the Microsoft helper for word was a huge interest and feature for all of about 2-3 weeks before everyone realized its interactions were just “on top” of ac…

For some areas of our critical systems we have three independent software groups program the same exact system on different infrastructure. Just for moments like these...

The selling point of being faster than helm isn’t a very big draw to me.. I never felt the problem with helm was its speed.

I literally left front end development because of stuff like this. It felt like insanity. Throwing out the door debuggers, linters, all the tooling so we could express objects as a…

Why didn’t he mentioned rewriting or adding to browser history?!

Not necessarily. The CDC reported a sharp increase of stimulant prescriptions at the same time. Adjusted for population it’s not as dramatic as 2012 but still. Amphetamines are inc…

I have discovered better music in my 30s and 40s and sort of regret my musical decisions in my teens and 20s. Music to me is linked to my emotional state and like I’ve matured I’d …
