That's a very inappropriate XP Background. And the SaaS projects are all... kinda AI generated, small rubbish nobody needs to provide as a service, you can just have that as a local app/browser plugin. This is a big box of beautif

I'm surprised this is getting so much coverage; This is well known from medical imagining and whatnot, that you take a black&white/limited gamut space and spread it to the full perceivable gamut.

That is very clever, thank you. Didn't even consider that yes, the contrast of the A/B channels is also the spread across the colour spectrum. Shows how little I use LAB... thanks for the reminder.

Did the same. First few days was like learning to walk from scratch again. Welcome back, programmer.

See, because of the learning experience I steer away from non-fiction books. I am deeply afraid of the narrative red string applied to reality - connecting a tiny subset of the observable data points to a simplified interpretation/ex

just AI? Have you seen the other rubbish they try to peddle?

I read it more like a complex joke, or rather, a stab at the problem of why generative material of that caliber feels so fundamentally wrong to some of us.

So we build an LLM... that grabs new tokens based on stochastics... train it on all the programming teaching material and projects available on the internet... and then analyse the output... ...for the distribution of content of the source

Since everybody voted for Trump again , he just won't have a choice but to take a third term. It's what the people want! /s Cue civil war?

This reminds me of the number of man-hours wasted on logging in into Microsoft accounts - bonus points for "No, this app only" being hit after the session timeout of the login session so you have to log in _again_. (instead of bei

In my experience, for most basic services, Passkeys are absolute overkill: Your ability to recover your account without too much hassle usually beats having a key explicitely tied to physical hardware (even worse, your phone that you carry

Ok, I'll bite: no, considering these are very different domains and you don't get system access by getting the wrong speculative branch for your next text token, you just get a slightly different (but probably still related enough

I watch gaming-related news daily for fun and I don't remember this game at all. I remember other big publisher competitive online games fine, so I feel this one is particularly insignificant.

Well, to some of us in Europe, Trump is just the true face of America. The vanity, the arrogance, the greed, the vindictiveness, the kiss-the-ring shit - none of it is truly new for anyone who looks at american foreign policy through the le
