I think we are all afraid that an LLM could generate a ridiculously fast webserver and be production viable. But I'm still glad we are taking this through the ringer.

Does Firefox sell this data? That would be bad and should be able to turn off. But there's other uses for telemetry that can help free software.

I think this was Telus, not Bell. But I'm feeling the same way.

Aren't these the same models?

Where does 5.5 beat Opus 4.8?

Maybe cloudflare?

Looks like a shader doesn't support your GPU. Sharing what GPU you have might be helpful. I'm not sure if it is in the logs somewhere.

I find small food particles left on the top rack if I don't rinse. These are easy to remove (not baked on), but are super annoying and I can't understand why except that when rinsing it's reusing dirty water and not finishing with a clean rinse.

I thought this was explained by excess greenhouse gases.

The 1/20 update works well because it gives the illusion of tiles popping into view naturally as the lamp moves. This is a cool effect to get away with.

I grew up with this book in elementary school. I remember learning how complicated 3d graphics were at the time and eventually helped me with graphics in university.

Does it damage the bulb? I thought it just pulsed at a visible rate because it can't turn on consistently. Does rapidly turning off/on diodes reduce the life of a bulb?

Yeah I want to know what my topics are and when they change, and if I can disable or fudge my topics.

I still miss i.reddit. I've been trying hard to get off of reddit entirely but it hard because the community and information subreddits provide is still very good. But the other day I noticed the reddit frontpage is just repeating posts if you continue to click next page...

I think the biggest hurdle for VR is being able to use the device for long periods of time. We can view our phones for essentially a full day with some inconvenience, but I can barely stand VR for more than a couple hours without needing to rest my eyes.

Wow I would hope some of these artists were benefited/compensated financially by Liechtenstein. This is sad if all this time they received no recognition.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19069587 says that at least the first part has been fixed. Maybe this article should be marked 2018 (or 2017?).

The lesson is don't send passwords over slack. If you have slack access can you easily get access to private/historical messages?

DDOSs can have more impact than you think. Such as taking down hospitals and the war in Ukraine. Not really sure which one can be worse though...

The issue (I believe according to the author) is that Cloudflare is now choosing to withhold protection for Kiwi Farms, taking a moral stance and should be more responsible for other moral obligations or none at all. IE. Should they stop providing protection for more sites? When is the next Kiwi Farms?

I don't agree with the author because it is still early (and the author might be putting Cloudflare under pressure for some personal gain in some rhetoric), but these questions are interesting and is part of the cancel culture we are seeing more of.

This is sick. What does anyone learn doing by working like this? Is anyone gaining experience from this? It just feels like people are ground down so they can't physically work anymore.

There's so much hype and expectation compared other software that it hits harder when bad software design appears in gaming. Bad software/project design still exists for regular software but users are more understandable when deadlines change.

To me TikTok is not the "internet" because no matter how much the app gives, the user doesn't own their content.

You can still write anything in a blog that you own and have people see it. To me that freedom is the "internet".

The crab is a boss of world 5. But Mouser is still in the game at the end of world 1. I remember the crab boss being easier compared to Mouser, and thinking they should be swapped.

The fact they stopped a NA release of the sequel because Howard Phillips review is amazing to me. Today we see still have games being released regardless if they should (Cyberpunk, Battlefield). Also it proves the importance of play testing to decide if the game is fun for the target demographic. I wonder if Miyamoto took this realization to heart and that is why we see his games so successful.

Recently came across this tweet https://mobile.twitter.com/teej_m/status/1489491830580264960 and I'm curious if these illustrations are public domain because of how old they are.

This easier than I thought. Windows+S and then in the cog you can disable web results.

Is there a way to disable the searchbar from accessing the internet entirely?

It is scary how far this made it. All because of money, and the thought of losing it.

I can do this too, but never thought to ask if anyone else could. How rare are we talking about?
