I can think of a benefit of having 1Gbps. I can't think of anything that a home user would benefit from 25Gbps that is something a government should actually care about (watching 10 different 8K Netflix streams at the same time is not a human rights issue)

I haven't used this one but WisprFlow is vastly better than the built-in functionality on MacOS. Apple is way behind even startups, even for fundamental AI functionality like transcribing speech

What is the benefit of 25Gbps home internet?

Why is it garbage? If you want something to block YouTube shorts, here's something that does it. It won't work forever, but you won't pay forever. Not all software needs to be high-craft and high-quality. Sometimes it can be just something a guy sells you off the back of his truck.

Why does it have to work long term? Claude Code probably built it in 2 hours. Sell it for as long as it works. If it provides some value to some people during that time, good for them.

Isn't making it a subscription more honest? Don't pay an outright price for this, just pay monthly until it stops working

That's an unreleased product in closed beta. Might not any name conflict with some unreleased product in closed beta?

He put many of the photographs right there in his blog post - he obviously does not see them as secrets

I entered the prompt:

It outputted a group of characters that I can virtually guarantee you it has never seen before on its own

I mean, you could make that judgment in some cases, but clearly not all. If you use AI to ship 20 additional features but accidentally delete your production database you definitely have not come out ahead.

I think it's because traditionally, software engineering was a field where you built your own primitives, then composited those, etc... so that the entire flow of data was something that you had a mental model for, and when there was a bug, you simply sat down and fixed the bug.

With the rise of open source, there started to be more black-box compositing, you grabbed some big libraries like Django or NumPy and honestly just hoped there weren't any bugs, but if there were, you could plausibly step through the debugger and figure out what was going wrong and file a bug report.

Now, the LLMs are generating so many orders of magnitude more code than any human could ever have the chance to debug, you're basically just firing this stuff out like a firehose on a house fire, giving it as much control as you can muster but really just trusting the raw power of the thing to get the job done. And, bafflingly, it works pretty well, except in those cases where it doesn't, so you can't stop using the tool but you can't really ever get comfortable with it either.

I have a hard time believing that it collected exactly 2,048 votes by coincidence

Do they make any money from Marketplace?

Facebook doesn't care about Facebook.com anymore. The value of their business is almost entirely in Instagram, with some future potential in WhatsApp.

> Comparing the comprehensive Win32 API reference against the incidentally documented Native APIs, its clear which one Microsoft would prefer you use. The native API is treated as an implementation detail, whilst core parts of Windows' backwards compatibility strategy are implemented in Windows subsystem.

Zig clearly doesn't actually care that much about building robust and reusable software if they're going to forgo Microsoft's decades-long backwards compatibility functionality for the dubious gains of using bare-metal APIs.

I was a "Windows guy" from Windows 2.0 to Windows 10. Now I'm a "Mac guy."

These operating systems aren't my family members -- I'll ditch them if I believe that switching is worth getting over the learning curve of a new environment.

I used 250lb zip ties to hold down my convertible top in the open position, as an alternative to paying $2000 to replace the motors. When I'd need to put up the top I'd cut the zip ties and when I'd want to put it down I'd put on a new set.

With California weather and an indoor parking spot I only ended up using about one pack (10? 12?) a year.

Sure, removing parking essentially requires the neighborhood to become more self-sustaining. This works in really dense cities like New York and San Francisco but it requires enough desirability to fill the housing with people who have enough disposable income to replace the far bigger "catchment area" that the parking used to serve.

Which in turn affects the kind of economies that the new development can support. A car dealership? Needs parking and a large catchment area. Burrito shop? Probably not getting much destination traffic and can support itself on locals.

Maybe surface parking lots aren't the answer, but I do know that if there are places that I can't easily park at, I just don't go there unless absolutely necessary.

Nice to think, "the people will take trains!" but sometimes it doesn't work that way.

I've seen so many outright falsehoods in Google AI overviews that I've stopped reading them. They're either not willing to incur the cost or latency it would take to make them useful.

Why do you need a Spotify Developer account but not Apple Music?

It's not clear from the top posts here what on Earth is happening. I've been a longtime customer of both Sparkfun and Adafruit for my kids. What do I need to know?

The flip side of this is that the only games whose owners allow them to be fully sold in this way are those whose commercial value is >90% expired.

If there wasn't, Apple would have been able to buy one.

No, it's clearly much more than that. He was able to get Grok to a frontier-level LLM while Apple and Microsoft, with far more money to throw at the problem, and more existentially threatened by not succeeding, have not.

Elon doesn't bring huge amounts of time to his companies, he brings some sort of skill which I don't know how to characterize but empirically must exist given the level of repeatable success he's had.

If there was a job description to "throw this football 50 yards into a trash can, a couple of times per week" I wouldn't be able to do the job at all, but an NFL quarterback might be able to do the job for 5 different companies while also Tweeting 50 times a day.

By this standard, ChatGPT is an excellent name: it's a generative pre-trained transformer that chats with you.

Cool project. Seems like your link to "wiki-dump-extractor" is broken.
