The fact that we're calling $500 GPUs "midrange" is proof that Nvidia's strategy is working.

AMD cards are fine from a raw performance perspective, but Nvidia has built themselves a moat of software/hardware features like ray-tracing, video encoding, CUDA, DLSS, etc where AMD's equivalents have simply not been as good. Wi

It's not too difficult to use the TypeScript type checker on JS files, so it's possible to reap most of those benefits without having to introduce a compilation step.

I used to use a similar extension in Chrome called wasavi, but I got burned once too many times by bugs in extension causing me to lose all of the text I had been writing.

In the same boat atm; reaching out to GitHub support and hoping that the lack of API access is just a permissions mixup. Luckily I was able to screenshot/copy the text for one of my projects before refreshing the page. Agreed that the

Flexbox was designed for these kinds of layouts, so that would also be an option here.

There is LosslessCut[1], though it's only designed to handle trimming and not general re-encoding. [1]: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

I was thinking about this the other day; it would be really interesting to have big corporations whose profits depend on public-domain data. We might actually see lobbying to decrease copyright terms, to counter companies like Disney trying

As someone with a YouTube channel, from looking at my metrics it's pretty clear that YouTube is being held afloat by a) the fact that non-technical users can't easily block YouTube ads on mobile devices, and b) YouTube Premium. A

I think if you're going to show off and do clever impractical things, a personal site is a pretty good place for it. That being said, scrolling that page with a regular mouse is incredibly frustrating.

It's funny, I made the same analogy the other day: https://twitter.com/gramofdata/status/1736838023940112523 I think something interesting to note is that once we stopped atmospheric nuclear testing steel rad

In my experience, it genuinely lowers the activation (and total) energy for certain tasks, since LLMs are great at writing repetitive code that would otherwise be tedious to write by hand. For instance, writing a bunch of similar test cases

People absolutely flowchart fighting games at a high level. Combos are, unsurprisingly, completely non-interactive in most games, but there's also a term specifically for non-interactive offense: setplay https://glossary.inf

Teleport is now just 3 punches or 3 kicks (no motion), so TK teleports are actually very easy.

I didn't realize Slate was that old! I've only been using it for about... 8 years... Jokes aside, I love Slate's programmability. I configured mine to behave like WinSplit Revolution, since that's what I was used to.

Wasn't Google starting to delete old files? My guess would be that something screwed up in that process.

That may be your experience, but I assure you that there are plenty of companies where it's not like that. Where I work, our product team is pretty receptive to us taking time to fix tech debt, since: - Engineering is very transparent

The fundamental differences in scale between manual recreation by a human and automated replication by a machine are what led to the creation of copyright law in the first place.

I don't think it's that simple. In order to have a claim to fair use, you would have to argue that the derivative work doesn't negatively affect the market for the original. When Google got sued for scanning copyrighted works

I don't think we really even need to dive that deep into the philosophical aspect of this. I think that it's fine to simply treat humans and machines differently, the same way we decided that animals cannot hold copyright for a wo

I don't think the article is necessarily claiming that specific syntaxes like SQL are bad. I think they just wanted to highlight how different the languages are.

Sites that adhere to WCAG should actually have quite good support for programmatic manipulation, since it's required for screen readers to work. It would be pretty interesting if a push to makes sites easier to use for AI agents ends u
