>We still have the web at all basically because of Wordpress. I strongly disagree with the premise. Aside from that, "WordPress" is 100% controlled by one guy. A guy who has repeatedly demonstrated total and complete disregard

Dinosaur is often used to describe someone who has grown out-of-touch with their industry. It aptly describes the technical skills Matt was just breathlessly boasting about. In case you missed it, Matt's boast was part of his attack on

I think the point is that the code path to deny network access for arbitrary apps exists (at least according to this comment): > I also found out the Chinese version has the ability to block an app for accessing both mobile data and Wifi

"If I choose to adopt the most extreme definition of the word 'desperate', then I'm technically correct, and I don't have to support my assertions, or argue with facts!" You know very well that the intended mea

Where does it say "it's pretty easy" to do this via Canada? Canada isn't even mentioned in your source. Only Asian countries are. Please stop repeating as fact nonsense you vaguely half-remember hearing somewhere. It&#x2

It's amazing how confidently some people speak about a topic they know nothing about. >Let's set the framing correctly because I think we're starting off on the wrong foot. The US is not in a desperate need of any product

First, I agree with your complaint about that wording. Aside from that, the "obvious" dairy tariffs you speak of are almost entirely theoretical. Those are anti-dumping tariffs that kick-in only when a certain threshold has been m

Memory bandwidth is one of the most important factors. The Max machines typically have higher bandwidth than Pro (you should look up these exact models to verify though). Having said that, you could run bigger models with 64GB. I went with

Unless you can explain why the American stumpage fees are inherently "correct", this is simply a case of one country having a bigger supply of something and therefore being able to offer it much cheaper. You know... Capitalism wor

BetterTouchTool cleverly let one trigger the trackpad haptics when using custom Touchbar configs. With the haptics set to high, you could really feel it. It made a huge difference. I don't think native haptic support would have been en

There's some good points made here about losing fidelity by over-simplification. As an ADHD sufferer, I'd take this piece much more seriously if the title wasn't so belittling. I don't think it's wise to take commu

Since when did asking someone to give a single example to support their point become "noise"? How can they do any testing, if you refuse to tell them what to even look for?

It reads like OpenAI has been taking PR tips from the king of juvenile, ill-advised blog posts during legal proceedings — one Matt Mullenweg. Guys, just stop posting. Listen to your counsel.

Yup. I remember Google making this exact same promise with AdWords and then slowly but surely rolling it back, quarter after quarter and year after year.

It would be great if an LLM could be trained to generate interpolated images between the 10m intervals of the full disk geocolor product. The animations would be fantastic. I've got about 2.5 years worth of that imagery if someone know

I watched the 1:30 video and didn't see a single code visualization. Not one. The closest was a "visualization" of a single, unconnected node that can be moved around — all by its lonesome self — on a canvas. For some reason.
