Which model best allows me to transcribe speech that uses a lot of domain-specific terms? For example, when I say "Claude Code", it often gets transcribed as "Cloud Code", and I have to go back and edit or do a second pa

If a majority of users switch to ad-powered free tiers, a majority of users will see well-written, targeted advice that is ads (lies!) in disguise. This is a horrible future to consider. The more I think about it, the more I come to the con

The author only compared output token costs -- but for typical agentic workloads, input tokens dominate the costs by a large margin. Running inference locally, input tokens are, to first order, free. (They only generate implicit costs throu

+1 for introducing them as real-valued functions over cartesian coordinates! Typically, spherical harmonics are introduced as a complex function over spherical coordinates, which makes them much easier to derive, but imo hides their beauty.

At $enterprise, we were just looking for a proper term that sets "responsible vibing" apart from "YOLO vibe coding". We landed on "agent assisted coding". It's a bit more technical. And it has a three-lett

I really like nools, which is a drools clone, but for JavaScript. It's fantastic for quick hacks and for getting to know how to write code for rule engines. Sadly, it is no longer maintained.

Let's say I want to have a somewhat genereric CRUD-app: A database, some application logic, a login system, logging/telemetry and a UI. What kind of stack should I use so that tools like Darwin (or just plain old copilot) can be m

This is insane. The project includes the hardware (GHz-capable RF-generation and measurement), firmware (FPGA) and Software (a cpp GUI). Surely that can't be all from one person?

Is there a way I can give feedback on wrong labels? The easy questions seem to be correct most (all?) of the time, but I noticed a few errors in the labelling of the complex question/answers. I would love to see this improve even furth

If memory serves correctly, Aldi Nord was one of the last big supermarket chains in Germany to introduce scanners at the registers (2003?), because their existing system was simply faster: Each item had a three-digit code, and all cashiers

After skimming the second paper, I still don't understand how precision mass measurements come into play here. They mention Cavendish-type measurements, but they are used for measuring the gravitational constant. Of course, you can tur

Making a GUI that is based on HTML and CSS and JS is also an... experience. I have some (ancient) experience in RAD. Once per year I try picking up React/Vue/Angular or whatever is the current fashion, but I get stuck. It's j

I disagree: "Ax = b" is a statement. It does not need to be true. This is quite useful and often used for "proofs by contradiction".

But wouldn't this solution mean that once there is a small glitch in the system, say due to higher load than normal, there are 2x the requests and the system goes down completely? I don't mean to be negative of the solution, I am

Worry not, dear author! Being mindful of your inner-ear health is certainly a good habit, but (moderate) hearing loss is not as scary as you might think. I have oteosclerosis with accompanying inner-ear damage after stapedectomy or -dotomy,

Will the canvas mouse input lag also go down? I tried to program some small games once and noticed this was horrible on all my (Windows 7) desktop browsers. Just tried again using this demo [1] (not mine!), and now on Chrome it was OK. Edit
