Today's models are far from autonomous thinking machines. It is a cognitive bias among the masses that agree. It is just a giant calculator. It predicts "the most probable next word" from a sea of all combinations of next wor

Anybody out there who has tried to convert js to ast and back and got OOM?! (I tried @babel/parser). I pray this one doesn't disappoint. Oh, and comments!!! My general observation is that one cannot capture the comments when code

The language died because of Microsoft tried to woo java developers into using the .net ecosystem. So whenever the CLR got more features, C# (rather than VB) started supporting them more readily. Experience wise, it looked more elegant in c

Not sure if AutoHotKey is the tool for this, but, I am looking for a functionality such that, when I get a ping from MS Teams (say), I want some other system in my home network to notify me of it - perhaps a notification in my android phone

Harari doesn't pose the question to the reader! Europe's obsessions with exploration and conquests were driven by the scientific revolution. He does say that China could have very well done they part in it, but the Chinese rulers

It was a DIY pre-covid project. It was meant for me to locate my bike in an open-air parking lot meant for two-wheelers. The circuit wasn't perfect. Here are some videos/pics: https://imgur.com/a/fv2oiZ7 Ps:

Is no one irked by some capitalistic policies/monopoly by giant corporations? For e.g. you ask the voice assistant to play a song, it will deny that request saying that you need to buy their "premium" offering first. Another

Well, I certainly hope that the Hacker News FM podcast on spotify doesn't come to an end. But as long as stuff is on the internet and accessible, I don't see the point of denying people visiting the webpage. Restricting access hel

Complexity is one end of the spectrum. Browser APIs for various stuff like animation, video, audio, webgl, etc is not that easy for developers to consume. Often most of these features have their own set of sub-complexities and concepts. For
