I care about LLM service provider threat intelligence reports as much as I care about Google Search threat intelligence reports; which is to say, I don't care at all about it. Of course criminals use computers. They have been since per

Duckduckgo has been incredibly worse with results for me for the past year. I had used Duckduckgo for about a decade, and now it is just littered with AI generated content for search results. I recently switched to a search engine that uses

You don't need to use an online service to do this; you get to avoid spending money on tokens doing it offline. Gemma 4 works perfectly well offline on limited hardware (I have an 8GB video card) and can handle extracting text from ima

> It's not better than `[1, 2, 3]` is it? If you want to change your vector to a linked list, in Lisp, you can change from `(vector 1 2 3)` to `(list 1 2 3)`. If you have some array `[1, 2, 3]` and you want to change to a linked lis

I hope 99% of that was documentation and testing.

The cool thing about Dolt is that you [eventually] get the features of the databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB) they emulate, so you can have your PG 19 temporality features as well as branching and merging.

I tried to see if an LLM service provider could rewrite some legal docs where nothing was hallucinated in order to follow a consistent format to see what may be missing in the document. It could do that. Next, I wanted to see if this could

Wow, what an apples and aliens comparison. You add a bunch of transaction delays to your postgresql case because you can access a database over a network, but you use transaction batching for sqlite? Maybe just compare a local postgresql wi

If you're referring to C# (and Java) being the Kingdom of Nouns where a type like ArrayList is defined and contains its methods, sure, Lisp is not exactly like that, but I feel like conventions give you a similar experience. For exampl
