I'm not sure if this is a serious question, but: buses, subways, (e-)bikes, working from home, carpooling. I know these aren't an option for everyone in every situation, but congestion pricing areas tend to be set up in places whe

This was fascinating, thank you. I expected to read about legal threats against the folks collecting this data and am glad that those didn't materialize. Also I only realized after finishing the article what a breath of fresh air it wa

Waitasec...wouldn't you have to hold it at a very specific distance from your eye for the "viewfinder" to be accurate?

At work I am sitting on a small pile of incomplete/wrong/missing-the-point bug reports right now, all generated by Opus 5 on High effort. Even under good conditions, LLMs are still wrong quite a lot, and confidently so. I can see

Precisely! I don't think this is the whole problem but it's a part of it I keep coming back to. We took the one thing that computers were good at (getting the same answer every time, quickly and efficiently) and tossed it out th

My friends and I used to do this all the time in that same time period. It was all fun and games until one day I caught one of them spoofing a message from me to president@whitehouse.gov making vague threats. He seemed to think I overreacte

I really appreciate the reply, and all your work. The difficulty of what you're doing is not lost on me; I was honestly blown away that you all launched a browser project at all. I think it's vitally important that the web not bec

I'm a devoted Kagi user and really want to use Orion but keep running into perf issues and jank that frustrate me enough to switch back to something else. My most recent attempt was this past week. You all seem to maintain a very fast

This was unexpected and wonderful. Thank you so much!

The style is really fun, and your writing is interesting. I find it slightly ironic, though, that many of your articles that make a case against AI-generated writing are illustrated by AI-generated images. I forget who made the insightful c

Just a regular brag, I'd say! He mentions it at the top of every blog post, including irrelevant details like the case. "Weird flex, but OK" The visuals are neat looking but I was hoping to see more details like correlating c

Did you catch that it's allowed to edit its own SOUL.md? So the bad behavior can be emergent, and compound on itself.

> The image of Saturn was generated with ChatGPT. Wait...wh...why?!? Of all the things, actual pictures of the planet Saturn are readily available in the public domain. Why poison the internet with fake images of it?

In what sense will it be "Free" if it...isn't?

Same reaction here. I think the author certainly crossed a line by using a diffusion model to publish an image of a dead famous person doing something he never did.

> the OG tool `git` This phrase immediately turned the rest of my hair gray. I'm old enough to still think of Git as the "new" version control system, having survived CVS and Subversion before it.

I'm sorry if it has that effect on you. Personally I've been on tirzepatide for about a year now and have not experienced anything like that. It seems to reduce my impulsivity, but I still enjoy things very much. I am just able to

You made me curious. It looks like dithering is still an accepted name for this kind of technique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering

This is fantastic, thank you. Recently when trying to sleep away from home, I went looking for a noise app and was grossed out by the state of the available apps, just like you said. BTW One unfortunate feature that many noise apps/web

Some people experience major side effects. Neither my wife (semaglutide) nor I (tirzepatide) have had any negative effects apart from minor upper GI disturbances when moving up to a higher dose. These dissipate within a week or so. That sai

It's quite a bit more "realistic" if you imagine it as a simulation of the "Defragment Free Space" option that at least some defraggers had.

I humbly suggest that you read beyond the first few paragraphs. The author goes on to significantly expand the definition.

For sure! But just because you don’t “see” it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a huge impact on the feel of the movie, your impression of the characters, and on the storytelling, which is ultimately why these “invisible” decisions were made :)

This was a lovely article. I only wish the author wouldn’t have kept switching units (between µs and ns) making it hard to scan the tables for comparison.
