I wish there were more human written articles posted here. The ending of this is so obviously an LLM being prompted to connect this news back to the site’s purpose. There just isn’…

This seems wrong to me? I use it to do so every day.

I hope you and I never get the opportunity to learn how this would end. We’ve had nukes on Earth for less than 100 years, do you expect the next few thousand to go that well? Do yo…

I think it’s possible that there’s a technical reason for monochrome cameras. For example, to let in the maximum amount of IR light for tracking. Bayer filters reduce the amount of…

I would assume that this was a carrier request/demand that got filtered down to some poor employee that had to implement it. There’s a linked bug, but the bug is restricted.

I don’t know if this was one of the intended outcomes, but this will probably cause some struggling college and universities to shut down. International students raise quite a lot …

Are you talking about the 3D rendering in the article? The source is linked, and it was uploaded to Wikimedia in 2013. Edit: Oh! I see, the article URL was changed after you made y…

The gates are extremely fast, and you don’t need to wait at all when you tap your card. In practice, this ends up being a pretty big deal for the number of passengers going through…

I believe it was this https://www.luciteria.com/element-cubes/plutonium-for-sale

How are these levels actually encoded? Do they use special unwritable tokens to wrap instructions?

I think the goal is to not antagonize the administration but convince them that they're making a mistake and to reverse it.

Good question, I always wonder the same thing. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mold-Linker-2024-Performance seems to show that that the newer linkers still outperform their predecess…

I’m not sure if you’re intending to leave a negative or positive remark, or just a brief history, but the fact that people are still managing to squeeze better performance into lin…

Could you explain why you think that Linux created more problems than it solved? In my eyes it is the backbone of most of what I do as a developer and I can’t imagine trying to wor…

It’s absurd but LLMs for military targets is absolutely something that some companies are trying to sell regardless of the many known failure modes. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/…

What do you mean by “tearing”? Like, VSync-off tearing or a different effect?

A major issue with motion interpolation is that it can’t be perfect, and is often far from it. The implementation on many TVs is jarring, you’ll see super-smooth motion while an ob…

I would be _shocked_ if Zuck wasn't thinking 24/7 about how to capitalize on LLMs. I'm sure there are a thousand ideas (maybe even a few good ones?) being thrown around Meta at how…

I find it interesting that they haven't rebranded "CNC" as something in Korean.

When I was in uni, the computer science school actually did occasionally check these reports. Specifically, a guy named Chris checked them. Some friends of mine apparently used thi…

The implementation as it stands is actually easier the way they do it. They replace the image by scaling Rick to the image size. That means that they can still automatically put yo…

I made this page (posted in another thread yesterday) because I was rather underwhelmed by the .gif. I think the page shows in much better detail the difference between the telesco…

Thanks for finding those images! I threw together a page that lets you compare them via a slider. You should be able to zoom in on mobile! https://blog.wolfd.me/hubble-jwst/ The .g…
