NewLogic··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
This is a problem which is entirely solvable by existing and new design/production apps. Instead of working entirely with raster image agents should programmatically edit the target file format.
NewLogic··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
Exactly it is a legal requirement from lawmakers who either don't care or understand privacy implications to implement provenance metadata. California's act came into effect August 1 https://sd13.senate.ca.gov/news/press-release/august-3-2026/...
NewLogic··on Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces
Worse than useless as it creates precedence to ID everyone online while materially having no impact on U16s relationship with technology.
NewLogic··on Is This Sustainable?
Where does the feature go for long term ownership? That throws you build it you own it out the window. We are going to get more time for documentation and handover right, right? Engineers are famous for generating good documentation.
NewLogic··on The React2Shell Story
I'm still yet to be convinced React Server Components are anything but a disaster to the developer experience. Mixing backend and frontend without a clear boundary is terrible for any codebase beyond a handful of contributors.
NewLogic··on AI Product Graveyard
Did delivering quality really get easier? I'm certainly not seeing it in the software I use. Delivering scale doesn't mean the mission was executed well.
NewLogic··on CERN levels up with new superconducting karts
Takes me back to the week we all thought room temperature super conductors might be a solved problem.
NewLogic··on Goodbye to Sora
An AI video trend on Instagram as been Han from Tokyo Drift with different cars. People still want to share those on the platforms they are already locked into with their friends.
NewLogic··on SpaceX IPO Scandal
You can hedge the position via options without having a taxable event on passive investment.
NewLogic··on Are LLM merge rates not getting better?
Because post 4.0 dropped the sycophancy?
NewLogic··on Preliminary data from a longitudinal AI impact study
I'm not seeing that at all. I'm seeing more markdown text being produced by AI but nobody wants to read it because the signal to noise is low. AI doesn't yet have a context window wide enough to have the judgement capability to filter the gold from the fluff for a moderate sized org.
NewLogic··on xAI joins SpaceX
Has anyone done the math on how much liquid methane and oxygen this would take to launch on Starship? Seems like an impossibility alone without digging into the numbers.
NewLogic··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
I'm for startups that don't defraud their customers with a proven track record of lying.
NewLogic··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
It's called fraud, the editor was a victim of fraud. At least he clued on late I guess..
NewLogic··on $96M AUD revamp of Bom website bombs out on launch
They do still have the old site live at https://reg.bom.gov.au/
NewLogic··on Someone at YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled
A business engaging in unethical practices, not respecting its audience and standing by the quality of its content.
NewLogic··on How Airbus took off
It is quite simple, they had the more recent cleansheet single aisle airframe design with enough ground clearance for modern high bypass engine designs. This has baked in a lot of inherent efficiencies including manufacturability meanwhile Boeing leadership refused to invest in a 737 replacement needed in the 2000s.
NewLogic··on Cognition (Devin AI) to Acquire Windsurf
Good point, it transfers capital from the investor class to the working class.
NewLogic··on Cognition (Devin AI) to Acquire Windsurf
> not novel so it could be copied

AI Agents can't be copied in a race to the bottom market to resell inference compute?

NewLogic··on Nvidia’s $589B DeepSeek rout
Uber is still the market leader. They were practically giving away taxi services for a long time.
NewLogic··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
America spoke and said they wanted it, what more is there to be said? If there was marching in the streets, it would be torn to shreds by the online grift sphere.
NewLogic··on Cats are (almost) liquid
You can buy plush neck donuts which do the same thing, my cat lasted one day with a cone before I felt too bad and same day delivered one.
NewLogic··on Google fires 28 employees involved in sit-in protest over $1.2B Israel contract
Except for when they are bombing the shit out of the aid workers. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-04/gaza-aid-convoy-air-s...
NewLogic··on Breakthrough in 'detonating' hypersonic propulsion
I haven't ran the numbers or anything but I would assume supplying the high PSI oxygen for a long burn duration would be a considerable engineering challenge. You would need a system to jump start with bottled oxygen and then a heat exchanger in the combustion chamber to gasify LOX once stable detonation is reached. It is likely New Space companies have run the numbers on engine weight versus a contemporary staged combustion engine and found it to be little to no efficiency gain.
NewLogic··on Jimmy Buffett has died
Just after Ted Nivison and Eddy Burback visited all 22 NA Margaritaville locations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsb9T1g5nlE
NewLogic··on It’s not only NY, LA, San Francisco. Retail crime has hit Kansas metropolis
Seems more like a distraction from the real issue and evidence of the connection between retail crime and poverty. Nobody has the political courage to call out the suppression of the American middle class as the defining factor.
NewLogic··on Windows Update Restored: Fix Windows update on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP
On the contrary, Linus of LTT managed to uninstall the GUI of his PopOS install within an hour while attempting to install Steam only last year. https://youtu.be/0506yDSgU7M?t=618
NewLogic··on How the relentless drive for optimization made baseball impossible to watch
Hard disagree on stat people coming for cricket, you pretty much have a third agent in the game (the pitch). It can change so much from field to field and the weather can also have a big impact for long form. Pretty much impossible to optimise a team aside from chucking in an extra spin bowler in India.
NewLogic··on OpenAI is now everything it promised not to be: closed-source and for-profit
That is marketing spin, his offer was freely licencing their patents in exchange for free usage from other big automakers which he knew would never happen.
NewLogic··on The Twitter Files
Wait until everyone hears about ITAR restrictions...
