I suppose I am just happy that these things are being talked about more. I can't visualize anything, feel a memory, re-experience the past, or even remember much at all about my own life. A day after arriving home from a trip I can&#x2

I enjoyed this read, the energy, and the detailed positive outlook. However, what am I supposed to take away from "5 weeks / 35 people / no new recurring friends"? Every time I go out I feel this personally, and I never

Similarly, I made an agent that lets Claude puppet OpenSCAD, generate screen shots, change the camera angle, etc. In general Claude seems to have a pretty good vision model that can create usable designs. It's also fun to let it make u

I would think that building a environment which can be managed by a game engine is the first pass. In a few years when we are able to render more than 60 seconds it could very well replace the game engine entirely by just rendering everythi

S3 also gives you multipart parallel uploads. Each part gets stored and then when you're done the concatenation is performed close to the storage layer.

Did you know that software specifications used to be almost entirely flow charts? There is something to be said for that and waterfall.

Golang is one of the only languages with a more or less working library. I built with it and using some hacks got it hooked up to AWS API Gateway with Lambda. Reading the room, the lack of language support does make it pretty suspect in 202

In a circuitous way, you can rather successfully have one agent write a specification and another one execute the code changes. Claude code has a planning mode that lets you work with the model to create a robust specification that can then

I wonder if it could still be usurped by another standard that is somehow more popular. If adoption of that leapfrogs over IPV6 then maybe it will have just been a waypoint along the way.

This kind of writing goes deeper than LLM's, and reflects a decline in both reading ability, patience, and attention. Without passing judgement, there are just more people now who benefit from repetition and summarization embedded dire

Having been affected by this personally, I don't think Marriott cares about their brand at this point as they have achieved relative monopoly status. There are plenty of other horrible things they've accomplished in the last few y

This holiday season, consider giving the gift of a well-researched gift list, and then letting them decide if they want to buy it or not. Most people don't want more stuff, they just want to know you understand them and care about them

For those of us who have been using AWS for almost 20 years now, I can't imagine why anyone would willingly choose us-east-1 for anything. It is the oldest, highest traffic, most critical path region and is subject to turbulence.

Right. Try building thousands of transistors without rigorous EDA and basic checking in VHDL. This article is such a bad take.

This has always been my takeaway with Go. An imperfect language for imperfect developers, chosen for organizations (not people) to ensure a baseline usefulness of their engineers from junior to senior. Do I like it? No. Would I ever choose

I congratulate you. This is a clever extension of a great framework.

Let's not forget just how much of Alan Turing's work went towards "defense of the state" before they discarded him. Even with the royal pardon, my biggest gripe is that they continue to use his name and likeness for anyt

The fact that Mixxx works as well as it does on Linux is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It is truly The People's mixing deck.

When I was a younger man, I fought long and hard and spent many late nights on the phone with the lawyers abroad, to convince my company to open source a tool that I was proud of and thought would help our brand and attract new developers.

Access modifiers don't give you unlimited protection, they help you reason about the code and how it is used. If I change a public method and break something downstream, that's on me and my team. If I change a private method and b

Why not make this contribute to something greater, like scientific grid computing, or a charitable bitcoin donation? Instead we're just burning a few watts to slow down crawlers.
