If the task is so simple why use a model like Fable 5? Wrong tool for the job?

Submitted some pretty harsh feedback about this back in Jan after my old school technical father in law sent me a few AI generated “news” videos in a row about Trump and Venezuela. The AI label was technically on all of the videos but 3 tap

Reminds me of Gall’s Law from his book Systemantics. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it w

Same for me, it was also my first time ever seeing code, and I still remember it well. While getting ready for swim practice in a locker room, my friend challenged me to beat his score on a button mashing game he programmed earlier that day

Axolotls have also been used for over 200 years for medical research related to regenerative biology. They’re unique among vertebrates in that they can regenerate nearly every part of their body, even parts of their brain. https:/&#x2

Agreed. I just traveled to Peru for the first time a few months ago and visited Cusco for 7 days. For me, it was not enough, since all I wanted to do was go back immediately upon leaving. I'm normally the kinda person that wants to tra

Was wondering the same thing. Couldn't they just load https://web.archive.org/save/{site_url} once a month in their Github action instead of managing the storage of these images?

Newton spent the majority of his life trying to answer this question. It'd be more interesting if the question asked “Will Newton’s prediction that the Second Coming won’t happen before 2060 be correct?”, but that might be a bit too lo

Extremely slow times - from development to production, backend to frontend. Depending on how bad things are, you might catch the microservice guys complaining over microseconds from a team downstream, in front of a FE dev who’s spent his we

This is why we need more incremental rendering[1] (or "streaming"). This pattern become somewhat of a lost art in the era of SPAs — it's been possible since HTTP/1.1 via chunked transfer encoding, allowing servers to sta

The Sphinx wasn't built with stone from a quarry, it was carved from the bedrock. It has since been restored a number of times, one of which added layers of limestone block which is easily distinguishable from the original shape.

At Wadi al-Jarf[1], one of the oldest harbors in the world (~2600 BCE), they discovered numerous stone anchors, a stone jetty, and storage galleries carved into limestone that contained several boats, sail fragments, oars, and rope. They al

Which toothbrush company/product are they referring to? The stock image implies Phillips, but I don't see any mention of that in the article. Never thought I'd be judging a toothbrush based on cybersecurity, but here we are..

He’s referring to the P75 from Chrome’s field data. Now, Reddit definitely could do more here and get that LCP at the same time as the FCP (eliminate load and render delay). But a big purpose for these metrics is to make the web more access

Yep, and this also is referring to the P75 LCP. Notice how’s he referencing the field data from Page Speed Insights, which is reporting Core Web Vitals. Anytime these metrics are discussed it’s always the 75th percentile.
