Everyone here saying about execs and so on - don't seem to catch a few nuances in this chain. 1. Bill Gates is doing the "Internal Disruptor" CEO style 2. Everyone is reacting in a way Bill Gates expects them to react 3. The

It's the inverse. We created a world for introverts only in the last ~50 years, where people can spend all their time in an office desk not actually talking to anyone. This was never the case in any of human evolution before. It's

I treat any organizational theory that has a unidimensional view - like coordination is a good-to-bad slime mold – as incompetent, or at worst, corporate sabotage. Any active product or business development - builds product/domain&#x2F

Ops here. Don't use musl if you care about disk size or compatibility either. For reference: docker.io/node:26-alpine - 61MB docker.io/node:26-trixie-slim: 84MB gcr.io/distroless/nodejs26-debian13: 55MB Before this

Yep. The system in general is great for treatment, but fails for diagnosis. It takes them a long time to diagnose, sometimes years. But once they manage to do it, then they bring in all the heavy artillery and the health care machine works

There is a reason for it. WebP was designed for a narrow-use: optimize for web. It doesn't support HDR, limited color gamut. e.g. All the devices that you use today are taking and viewing HDR pictures, or Print workflows, webp has no r

Depth. Wider color gamut, HDR, the things our devices now capture and render. And it supports animation by default, so the "motion photos" will be natively shareable. Also, recompressing JPEG as JPEG-XL gives a free boost, so simp

by rdsubhas 22d ago
JXL is one of the technologies that I hope we can fully transition over, i.e. in a couple of years nobody (even non-tech-savvy people) are sharing or copying or saving JPEGs.

How do you folks code at 40-50 tps? With an extremely lightweight harness (pi) and just 8k system and tools context, and ~40tps on qwen 3.8 27B 4-bit on low thinking mode, it still takes me nearly 30-45 mins for a basic coding session... Do

This is exactly my point. I've been writing with those dashes (em or en, whatever, just Alt+hyphen on mac instead of two hyphens). And now this is what people and tools use as the judging symbol for AI? That's just one example, AI

AI is trained on human data. And high quality human data at it's best. Can we assume everything we think as AI - must have had a high-quality human pattern behind it, and there is no way to 100% prove which is which - unless the author

I'm seeing a worrying trend on HN. Nearly for all articles, there is one unquantified, unproven comment at the top saying it's 100% AI — no proof, just baseless emotion of what fits the commenter's writing style. This is the

I'm on-call all the time, and the first thing I've taught myself is to not glorify it like some superhero saves the day worship. I'm both proud and (slightly) ashamed each time I handle an incident. It's not a virtue. Ho

I have to disagree with this as off topic. The blog lists ways to optimize sqlite for production, for those who have already made that choice. But these comment links are about choosing sqlite vs others and differences, which is completely

Looking at the link, it was quite an eye-opener moment (atleast for me) to see so many language-differentiating features - exceptions, async/await, continuations, generators - can all just be abstracted into one concept called "ty

Noone can discuss in good faith if the argument is: "If generated in bulk by vibe code" >> "what if I generate word by word with autocomplete". This is IMHO the reason why we can't have sanity, because there a

How is the built-in website translation story in Firefox? To be honest, the only reason I'm forced to use Chrome is the way translate quite seamlessly works, both the detection (with mixed-language content in sites with English ads) an

Yeah the problem with EU is that once "compliance" becomes the only reason, lethargy kicks in. Their players stop competing because they have no incentive to, the compliance will keep them afloat. I would assume the same here. If

> Let business customers spec up to 768GB who are prepared for a $20-25k price tag There is a clear difference between $25k and $100k. 64 iPhones at retail price is already around $64k. For something at 768GB to be profitable at Apple&#x

IMHO, It's not the oneshotting. It's the "starting from empty slate" greenfield that's the real problem. We used to make fun of Engineers who follow a README on a framework, test it on an empty project, and say &quo

I love AI and use it every day. But comparing it to PC/internet/manufacturing/etc is IMHO not the right comparison. Technology revolutions like PC, internet, smartphones, communication, etc – unfolded in this way: They create

Cool project! Just one thing: It says "ultra low" power. But ultra low is not necessarily the same as battery powered, which itself doesn't necessarily mean coin-cell battery powered. My experience with wifi modules I've

That's subjective and I would be more comfortable if that's called as Recommended memory, not Minimum memory. Minimum memory as in this change sets a completely different expectation.
