Isn't the main issue that the audio you're compressing over bluetooth, like spotify streams, is already compressed? As far as I know, compressing already compressed audio compounds artifacts in the same way re-saving a JPEG does.

I switched to Firefox when chrome announced manifest v3, and I'm still happy with it. Not only I get a browser with a real adblock, now that I got used to multi-account containers, I can't go back to chrome since it has no good eq

Noise reduction benefit is marginal. Most of the noise comes from tires rather than the engine. At 30 km/h tires are louder than the engine, so an EV driving at 50 km/h, which is the typical city speed limit, isn't any quiete

In this particular case, it would be harder to produce a fake signature from a non-existent person if the signatures in questions were digital and backed by a national identity number. The kind of that I'm submitting when signing docum

When you renew your passport, the new one will have a new serial. Not matching a passport serial doesn't mean anything. Not matching a national identity number does.

Very few countries require you to carry an ID. Many countries require you to own one and keep it up to date, but don't care whether you carry it outside. Also, I find the point kind of moot for the US where a driving license is essenti

A government won't give up on malicious acts just because it lacks accurate census. The United States does a lot more surveillance and oppression than EU countries that have national ID and mandatory ID documents. The lack of a compreh

Identity numbers being abused is a consequence of them being misused. And as far as I can tell, this happens more often with american SSNs than anywhere with actual national identity numbers. All that these numbers do is uniquely identify p

This is one of the obvious consequences of not having a national identity number assigned to everyone at birth, which exist in most developed countries, except for anglosphere, for some reason.

Harnesses exist to give models tools to do work beyond generating text. People install Claude Code and Codex to have models work inside their repositories and run the code or tests themselves instead of the user having to copypaste code bet

Consider what someone who doesn't use AI would take away reading that quote from the article, and what harnesses were actually made for.

I used GLM 5.0/5.1/5.2 for some projects, and for me, the area in which they lag behind frontier models the most are user interfaces. They get really close to Opus when it comes to pure algorithms, but when I need something like w

There is, for example, OpenCode Go subscription, which for $10 a month gives you a decently generous quota of GLM-5.2, among other models. And z.ai themselves also have subscriptions.

With the release of GLM-5, I would say that they are pretty much almost as good. Basically 90% as good as Opus 4.6 on most tasks for 20% of inference cost, and open weights.

by Aozora7 6mo ago
There already are LLMs with open weights that are better at code than state of the art closed source models from a year ago. For now, you most people may have to rent the hardware to run those models, since it's too expensive for most

I'm not paying for an AI subscription to do my job in the same way I don't pay for the IDE I use. My employer does.

I have the opposite experience, the CLI users I see pretty much never use anything besides commit, push and pull, while GUI users tend to use more advanced commands since they can actually see what they do.

I find git reasonably understandable as long as you are using a GUI. When you have a GUI, every action you take provides you visual feedback, so it's way easier to understand the purposes of merges, rebeases, stashes, and resets. My un

It was counterproductive for me when recursion was taught with Fibonacci and factorials. They were literally the opposite of easy to understand for me, I had absolutely no idea why those examples actually worked, so I just gave up and treat

You don't have to hunt for rare examples like this, most multiplayer FPS games use client-side hit detection nowadays.

What I personally see in academic setting is that when recursion is taught, it's taught using examples where you would not want to use recursion. It's easy to understand why recursion is useful when you are tasked with traversing

There are. Google doesn't allow apps that block ads in other apps on play store (anymore, they were on play store some years ago), but you can always just download and install them manually on android.
