rschiavone··on Twitter's new encrypted DMs aren't better than the old ones
Also openly endorsing a Nazi party like the German AfD [1], and if I had to link every single Musk's tweet where he says or endorses something homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist or antisemitic I'd hit my character limit.

rschiavone··on Cursor 1.0
I hope this question doesn't sound snarky, it's a legitimate concern that I want to address for myself: how do you ensure that once it ssh's to the machine, it does not execute potentially damaging commands?

HA! Good one. They won't.
rschiavone··on I ruined my vacation by reverse engineering WSC
They do. They understandably shorten it in the title, but then they define the acronym the first time they use it in the article.
rschiavone··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
Naively? They are actively acting in bad faith to destroy the US from within

rschiavone··on uv downloads overtake Poetry for Wagtail users
Not only it's faster, it also provides a lock file, `uvx tool_name` just like `npx`, and a comprehensive set of tools to manage your Python version, your venv and your project.

You don't need `pyenv`, `poetry` and `pipx` anymore, `uv` does all of that for you.

rschiavone··on Discord client that works on Win95*, Win98 and above
That's the beauty about fun projects. They don't have to be good ideas.
rschiavone··on Backblaze seemingly does not support files greater than 1 TB
If the repository is personal one managed only by you, you can squash the commits so the large files disappear from the history.

You can do that on shared repos too but that would cause a bad headache to other maintainers.

What if I don't want to deal with these problems in the first place
rschiavone··on Physically healthy 28-year-old woman schedules euthanasia due to depression
I do not advocate for taking the "easy" way out (I feel terrible for phrasing it this way).

What I say is that, for those cases where professionals have reasonable suspicion that it would happen anyway, offering a more humane option is the right thing to do. It shouldn't be an option to be offered lightly to anyone.

rschiavone··on Physically healthy 28-year-old woman schedules euthanasia due to depression
If a person has tried every other option and there is still no end to their pain, either physical or psychological, they would sooner or later try to end their life anyway.

It is in the best interest of everybody to offer assisted suicide at a set time and date instead of taking the matter into their own hands and leaving family, friends and first responders with the trauma of discovering a body.

Unfortunately yes, you have to use every single piece.

rschiavone··on Hyperloop One to shut down
That seems to be the reason.

"Musk reportedly told his biographer, Ashlee Vance, that the Hyperloop proposal was motivated by “his hatred for California’s proposed high-speed rail system,” which he felt would be too slow, outdated and expensive. “With any luck, the high-speed rail would be canceled,” Vance wrote."

rschiavone··on Can generalist foundation models beat special-purpose tuning?
I'd argue that yours is not a counter argument, but the same thing said by grandparent rephrased. It's obvious that with the same amount of computing power, specialized > generalized. But in 2-5 years, the future generalized models can beat the current specialized ones.
