Just chiming in for anyone else reading this and worried about their hair thinning, this is a thing men worry about much more than women. Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, Michael Jordan, Vin Diesel - there have been plenty of bald sex symbols

What's interesting is that in this article, the author describes making an understandable mistake (accidentally deleting Trunk aka main from source) and how their team was able to easily recover from that due to the nature of SVN. The

That comment seemed to revolve around consent. Willful, nonconsensual dosing of anyone with any drug is a violation, and yes doing it and bragging about it is reprehensible.

Fun, but the way they fly doesn't quite match my intuition. Why would an object curve when I send it out on the tangent? Wouldn't that be a straight line unless it's affected by a different gravity well?

Wooooow, I LOVED this site when it first came out and I still reference it when I talk about the early web and how it enabled me to learn things I never would have otherwise. I can still picture the animation of the wankel rotary engine fro

This is so lovely! If the original author is here in the comments, some feature requests that would absolutely make my day, presumably from easiest to hardest :) I love this so much, thank you for sharing! * Slow down the motion to about .5

For anyone taking this comment seriously, please research and understand the potential long term impacts of GBL before going near it. It's neurotoxic and can cause brainfog and lowered cognitive ability. It's also lethal in the w

Awesome to see real UX experimentation, and this elicited a strong response from me at first "oh I haaaaate that". On further reflection, this is very interesting and I understand where the drag and drop interaction breaks down o

It all reads like hallucinated slop from top to bottom "I've been tracking software quality metrics for three years" and then doesn't show any of the receipts, and simply lists anecdotal issues. I don't trust a sing

Folks have been predicting that the next big shift in computing will be onto glasses that we wear and away from our phones. The tech just hasn’t been there yet and most of the devices that do this are heavy clunky and hot Meta is investing

Has anyone gotten access to Imagen 4 for image editing, inpaint/outpaint or using reference images yet? That's core to my workflow and their docs just lead to a google form. I've submitted but it feels like it's a bit of

I highly recommend the command line AI coding tool, AIder. You fill its context window with a few relevant files, ask questions, and then set it to code mode and it starts making commits. It’s all git, so you can back anything out, see the

We’ve been hitting this in our work and in experimentation, and I can confirm that Claude sonnet 3.5 has gotten 100% of the way there, including working through errors and tricky problems as we tested the apps it built.

Interestingly, I’m pretty sure they mean they hit the limit with tokens on Claude. There’s a daily 2.5 million token limit that you can use up fairly quickly with 100K context So they may very well have completed the whole program with Clau

Deskpad might be what you’re after! It’s a virtual display in a window, you can share that instead of your whole screen but still get multi-app flows captured https://github.com/Stengo/DeskPad

For over 10 years we've had people do a paid ~4 hr take-home which is very similar to the work they'll actually be doing (here's a dummy codebase, add a few features fix a few bugs). If they're not interested in getting

Counterpoint - I pay for my whole team to have access, shared tools, etc. we also spend a decent amount on their APIs across a number of client projects. OpenAI has a strong revenue model based on paid use

Thinking about how this may apply to AI, this research seems to be saying that the distribution of neurons is not a normal distribution, but more akin to the population of a country, where there are dense clusters of neurons amid a mostly s

Personally, it’s never been about free shipping for me. It’s shipping inclusive pricing. It’s the same reason I will always toggle the “include fees” on Airbnb’s search interface. Just tell me the real price. Upfront pricing and an assumpti

We seem to be at an interesting feedback loop point for ML models. We have textual and visual models strong enough to look at a picture and describe it, or to read a body of text and categorize and label it well. That work can then be used
