Sure, cross-platform frameworks were great. I do think LLMs are changing the game, however. If you have a robust set of tests, it's much easier to maintain native versions of an app, compared to the past.

What is this nonsense even about? Site I’ve never heard of making bombastic claims without any citations. Can someone please provide context and sources? Because this looks like a hoax or something? Edit: just so we are clear, I’ve no idea

This takes me back. I had to do something similar, but in ASP (Classic), with .ppt files, and with dynamic data that was modifiable by the user. Quite an interesting rabbit hole. I eventually was able to build a solution using some COM comp

I suspect they no longer recommend either because either can download/execute scripts that Mozilla can't review, and the recommended extensions are reviewed, so they don't want to give users the wrong impression. I could be w

IMO, That's the case for all subject areas. It is also one area where AI excels at, and it could be of real use if we can find a way to stop hallucinations. The sum of all knowledge being at our finger tips would allow everyone to focu

Size is an issue, but it isn't just about size. Ideally, agile development builds linearly in complexity. Rather than dumping a huge new feature, first introduce the building blocks and the reason you are introducing them, then the glu

ALL chip designs are an exercise of minmaxing these 3 variables: 1) power 2) performance 3) die area SOME chip designs also care about a 4th: 4) die area. NO design has the best of all...it is impossible since you have to trade 1 for anothe

Started reading, however I wanted to add this in: a lot of people expect RISC-V to do too many things, and nearly all of those things are "beat every other architecture out there in every way/shape/form, while also being open

IMO this is getting hyped because the 27b version runs on a decent gaming GPU. This is NOT a thread for their largest model, this model will run on a mid-high end gaming PC, which you probably have in your household. Mine is 6 years old and

I haven't tried lowering thinking, however, I actually asked a solid question earlier regarding a real world scenario I encountered and all that excessive thinking made it give me an amazing answer. The thinking actually all made sense

Thinking is turned up to max by default. You can turn it down. Unsure why they did this.

thinking is set to max by default. I bet that turning it down would solve this.

Everyone focuses on the frontier models, and they act like everything else is useless. The gap between say, Qwen 3.8 and the frontier models is not as large as you assume, and things on the local front have made significant gains in the pas

Some models have built in cellular as well, so it's possible to use one without your phone entirely.

No, we absolutely do not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB For starters, The slowest sticks of DDR(x) are often slower than DDR(x-1). The issue is never capacity, but rather, performance. The real nonsense? USB? It&#x

Disagree. Why connect them to the internet? They should be super hardened against attacks, and should NOT have a physical connection to the internet. Same with electrical infrastructure. Network access? Possibly, however that network should

My immediate thought upon clicking the link referenced in the article, is that the first thing I see is at first glance looks like astrological signs taking up the entire height of the page. I'm not defending Apple at all (I'm a d

It’s not hard to make a functional standard, the USB folks just don’t care, IMO. If they had simply worked on better naming, things would be much more clear. (now they’d need to do something crazy like USB-C 40G PD60 as a name in order to f

Definitely a regional problem. Also, why are you folks wholesale signing up for text message notifications? If you didn't, ask yourself how they got your number? If you use a site that actually requires a number, give them a Google Voi

I saw another post on reddit with something like a hundred trillion dollar bill. I wish I had saved that link to share it, the comments were quite comical!

One of the big rules of commerce is that competing on price is generally a no-no for large markets. Usually, the powers that be would rather compete on a perceived value; that is how “informal price collusion” works. Price/cost is the

Note that the actual cause of failure in the NES was NOT the cartridge connector, but rather, the poorly implemented security chip. You can take a flaky NES, cut 1 pin on the security chip, and it will work near perfectly. I am not saying w

Just a note: the article focuses on the ladies, but men should absolutely get it as well because it cuts risk for other types of cancers. I was looking for a better link, however this is the only one I found (I had an older one saved, howev

GitHub == git, which is free. You can clone the repo and push it to wherever. No comment on the rest. I am just pointing out that using GitHub for source code doesn't mean mean that code can't be easily forked or used elsewhere. I

That's fine. The second I stopped caring, which is the day I stopped working for a living, I stopped worrying about what Google thinks. I don't use Google for email or search. (my email addresses are with proton, iCloud, and Hey,

The "problem" is that people are looking for problems. This "problem" isn't specific to Bluesky, ATProto, or anything else. Look at any organization: profit, non-profit, group of volunteers, etc. and you'll alw

Not really, Qwen 27b offloads to a decent gaming GPU (RTX 4090 in my case) without needing tons of RAM.

Honestly, anyone using Github as a basis for hiring to begin with is approaching hiring with flawed thinking. Github isn't the only source for git, and git isn't the only standard for version control. Further, Github has been push
