Perfectly for me I guess I should have said. Nonetheless, this md file packaging mistake suggests that at least once they’ve fallen into not reviewing changes properly, and I wonder if that lack of discipline is more widespread. I hope not,

It worked perfectly for a long before Claude and friends existed, so I don't think it follows that not using these tools has led to the problem now.

I’ve been wondering if vibe coding was responsible for the recent introduction of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) bugs in FaceTime (muting and unmuting the microphone appears to temporarily fix it). Apple has always had excellent AEC in m

This particular revolver is an opt-in service for users that want Cloudflare to block anything that Cloudflare designates as malware.

We'll likely leave the answering of your equivalence question to our users. While we do plenty of internal research, the primary goal of our cloud platform is to dramatically expand access to this field. There are no doubt many low-han

It's not the case at all - years ago we tested Pong with human neurons vs mouse neurons, and human neurons performed better. More importantly, they allow the study of the effect of external interventions (such as trial medicines) on t

Thanks! We focus on using real neurons, I'm not aware of a software based equivalent. But users can `pip install cl-sdk` to get started with our API. The SDK is still early but supports playing back a recording of real data so applicat

Cortical Labs CTO here. My focus is on the system itself rather than applications, but for what it's worth .. When the neurons didn't get stimulated by the application, performance did not improve. The only explanation our data sc

The neurons live on an electrode array kept inside a machine which keeps them alive (body temperature, sugar, gas, etc). The embedded system continually measures the voltage at each electrode, and can electrically stimulate the neurons via

I work on the software stack for a biological computing platform (think: tool for programming with human neurons in a dish). Coding work spans FPGA (SystemVerilog), Linux kernel C, userspace C, Python, and yes, some web services and Browser

If a programmer is more efficient with AI then you need fewer programmers, assuming a fixed amount of work is needed. So in that sense AI would be replacing programmers.

This reminds me of the time when Quake started rendering inside the start button of the Windows 95 desktop (or maybe Win 98). I wish I could remember the details but it think it was something to do with alt-tab.

Thank you - I recently picked up the art of electronics but wasn’t aware of this companion book.

This sounds incredible and makes me want to go through a similar learning process. I don’t suppose anyone could recommend a book or course along these lines?

I've never liked the idea of community actions in the critical build path, so I use official actions/* when I can, and otherwise use actions/github-script to invoke the GitHub API via inline JavaScript when I can't.

45 here, happily married with kids and yet I love writing software more than ever.

I'm comfortable that I'm writing code that's easy to understand and modify years later.

Yes, not impossible, but in my opinion requiring a waste of energy.

An 80 character limit is difficult to stay within when using highly descriptive variable names, and I think the benefits of highly descriptive variable names outweigh other considerations.

Those interested in this space may find my fairly unknown project interesting: https://nakedjsx.org/ It started as a static site generator but added a bunch of support for client JavaScript too.

I’ve been continually using Linux for various purposes since the late 90s, and recently wrote a non-trivial kernel module for an embedded device. So I’m veteran-ish. I tried Ubuntu on my MBP because I thought its popularity would mean the b

Ubuntu 24.04 is a disaster in my mid-2015 MBP. Ubuntu 22.04 is surprisingly good though.

Thank you for this, it’s sorely needed. One thing I didn’t see mention of is group membership. Is this / will this be part of the core offering? Being able to map IDP group membership to permissions within your SaaS is powerful, and in

FWIW I find the vscode + kickassembler + VICE toolchain a pretty fun way to iterate on C64 code.

by dqh 2y ago
Are you involved in the still-thriving C64 demo scene at all? Possible way to reconnect with the magic if not. Especially by attending (in-person, ideally) one of the many demo parties around the world. There are also parallels with embedde
