I read this story in 4th grade. It felt like the future. Now, it feels like most of the technology is within reach - at least, it could be built. The automated stove being the main…

Nothing stops embedded work faster than running out of code space on a microcontroller!

I knew it!

I refuse to believe there's not a database backup somewhere. Such careful curators would surely hate to destroy it!

More feedback: - I was intently staring at letters and didn't notice you get a definition as a hint! Maybe the hint UI needs a tweak. - it needs to allow permutations that are also…

It reminds me of Wordflower. I like this! With one caveat: The word games that have been posted in the last few days feature a timer component, and it's game over when you miss the…

I don't know JAX, but can this trick be applied as a higher-level function to autodiff-capable languages like JAX?

Surely SIMD combined with multiple streams would beat both approaches. (This would be separate streams in each SIMD lane and separate streams in different SIMD variables.) There ar…

Cyclists doing whatever they feel like is status quo everywhere. Now I'm most important sidewalk user! Now I'm a car! Now the traffic rules don't apply to me! (Not all cyclists do …

For reticle-limit chips, it's on the order of 100. And less than that once you filter out bad dies.

Reports indicate that cheaters need a full Windows reinstall to recover? > installs malware > malware does malware stuff surprised_pikachu.jpg Of course it's hard to write sympathe…

Can't believe I had to scroll for this. Trust the OEMs to do something very close to what enthusiasts might want, then immediately torpedo it with "but we won't sell it to you." Th…

It kinda does have that effect, because large companies are allergic to AGPL by policy, even if they otherwise have processes to get GPL software into use. The very companies that …

Here's a question: I don't understand the gap between these LLM powered voice agents vs CLI coding agents, the latter of which are obviously useful and quite resourceful at getting…

This is a weird comment because I feel the same about getting macOS to a useable place. I probably have 5 or 6 things installed on my Mac like Scroll Reverse and Rectangle, just tr…

I noticed this almost immediately when attempting to switch to Opus 4.6. It seems very post-trained to hack something together; I also noticed that "simplest fix" appeared frequent…

Then they get to keep both pieces!

This is a fantastic explanation. Thank you. The only part I am not following is how it is guaranteed that 1 bit is sufficient for the error value. Is this something the Lloyd-Max a…

I would love to lobby to change how the law works for these cases: for some definition of "firmware" (informally "software that ships with hardware and is not intended to be select…

Ooh this gives me an interesting passive-aggressive idea to counter pointless "is this still relevant" questions. "No, I haven't hit this in the last 2 days." "No, I haven't hit th…

There are lots of subtle LLM-ism sentence structures that you can perceive, sort of subconsciously. Spend any amount of time with Claude and you'll unconsciously start to copy them…

Pay your $25, upload an APK, and it's launched. What's left?

The one that took us the longest was (3). He knew he needed to go, knew all the steps, and would pee in his pants just to spite his parents. It's really eye opening and frustrating…
