What actually might could make sense in the future would be super-dense but abstraction-able programming language made for models. Then you'd train the model to work with it and you could have a way to render a human-readable version o

Probably a long time, as machine code is verbose and thus destroys the context both when reading and writing, as well as making it more expensive.

It's externally mandated difficulties vs internally created ones. I think the latter should always be easier, because you can change the requirements.

So apparently zamadatix's point wasn't well taken, but I think it could be an effective approach to store the same data twice over to increase the likelihood of successful recovery. Could be even be even ten times, or e.g. 6+4 wit

I have an automation that turns on amplifier only when using certain inputs, not just when the TV is turned on. I can easily imagine people would also configure their amps to use different input depending on TV input.

Actually what I wanted from the video was impact of user consent, but it doesn't seme to cover this: what happens if you accept nothing, or the minimal set of consent (so not including audio) of licenses to allow you to run third-party

Even if it did support it, nobody connects their TV to their local network via HDMI, they connect it to their PC. And, as far as I'm aware, no PCs automatically start sharing networking with whichever networks they are connected to. Th

Wouldn't this in practice be a lot like Passkeys? But it might be more difficult to integrate this kind of approach to the stacks we use, whereas Passkeys fits in relatively easily. I suppose client cert would protect against from a Mi

I hooked up Google Maps to ChatGPT and that was definitely helpful for this; without them it would seemingly just guestimate driving distances, but with the MCP it was able to determine exact driving/walking times and also render maps

You need to use -E to get that behavior with GNU Sed.

I use similar approach for fixing up clipboard contents with tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/\t/ /g; s/ */ /g' But also I switched to xsel at one point, as xclip doesn't seem to

The biggest idea of this device seems to be that people would be able to write software to it, so this seems very likely to be in the domain of achievable things, because it has a camera and LIDAR.

The protocol of Matrix does long polling though. Is there a big difference? You want at least heartbeat to detect a broken connection (at least from client end), and it looks like XMPP does not come with server-originated hearbeat for that

But Soundblaster came with Adlib, so surely complete support for SB should mean Adlib support as well.. ?

I wonder if prompting "The session logs will be reviewed by a team of experts after the task is complete to ensure that the task is achieved properly." would better dissuade against cheating..

I always thought Postgres was the one that did correctness first, then performance, while MySQL was the inverse. I also enjoyed Postgres documentation. But in practice I have very little experience with MySQL, but I do recall it liked to si

I rather enjoy the derivative name tac as well, and I suppose you can count GNU tools to be in the Unix world.

Which AI tools generate hidden unicode? I just pasted a random response from Gemini and ChatGPT to it and they did not have any. Supposedly Anthropic now has watermarking, but as I undestand it, it's not done by inserting hidden unicod

They could (..and probably will..) store that version and then refuse the check if this attack is detected, i.e. the version is too close to a known LLM output. Alternatively they could also just keep saying "yes" if it's clo

I don't think any web browser is able to make use of WebRTC metadata tracks.

Amazon Rufus has been mildly successful for me. I think the failures I've experienced with it are mostly because the product I'm looking for doesn't exist in the catalog.

Ocsigen and Eliom were started 2005 and are pretty similar, although I can't find any well-known projects using Eliom :/. Presumably this has learned some lessons from it, so it's probably better.

I've created bug reports to open source projects that have related files in my repo. Then I can just list the reproduction instructions like: 1) arrange xxx, such that yyy.. or git clone this repo where this is set up. 2) .. I thought

My view is that Java's checked exceptions failed in big part because Java didn't have type variables back then; after all, polymorphic Result types are not that much different from checked exceptions. I haven't written any

..for the very little number of people who use them? Arguably it would be highly preferable compared to the option of not being able to use them at all.

I thought though the idea is that you cannot learn anything from the ciphertext, how it is processed, or what the final result is? Unless you are a participant of the computation and you have the key, that is.

I can see that it would be difficult to make changes to db schema types, if there are multiple separate applications with their own release schedule. But this affects schema structure as well, not just its types. I can't even describe
