At my current job, one of my biggest blunders was thinking "Let me just order the same hardware as most of my teammates to avoid unnecessary complications". Most, if not all, of our current work happens on remote cloud vms. Now I&

Lately I genuinely believe that the future will be large frontier models generating and updating inputs/skills for "good enough" local models to solve our daily problems. A lot of tasks which need a bit of intelligence don&#x

This is actually an interesting idea... Especially if it gives us an insight into what prompts were given to generate something we approve of vs. something we disapprove.

Not just unedited but what feels like low information density... For eg. If you're generating a whole document with a single prompt, say "write a document on how to implement this" vs. "Find various approaches to impleme

You're basically out of luck. This is happening all over the world these days with various government services . It's not just for clients with no smart phones. It's also clients who activate developer mode on their smartpho

A lot of "non Android Linux distributions" like sailfish os actually use a lot of Android infrastructure to keep working. Drivers doesn't just mean the kernel. It's the user space binary blobs and services that need to t

The bank website typically needs the app to enable two factor authentication in a lot of places. For eg. There's no browser based alternative to make UPI payments that i know of.

I tested out last year's foldable phone for a couple of months.. borrowed it from a friend. Maybe I'm just losing interest in phone tech - but to me, it was only down sides and no upside. The phone was bulky. Fragile. The larger s

I tested out Pixel 3 (or 4 .. i don't remember at this point). The 30 hours is when you have all the functionality enabled all the time. Like the always on display, always on notifications etc ... I used to auto set the watch into DnD

I think that's just the phase 1? Once we have all the use cases figured out, optimizations gradually follow?

I intend to. They don't sell steam deck/it's parts where I live. So the next time people visit me from far away, they'd have to bring one along. That being said, steam deck isn't as powerful to play some of the game

This is a really good card that keeps on getting better. After my steam deck battery puffed up and my RX580 became too old to play any modern games, I had two choices: 1. Upgrade to a new GPU - this was costing me $300 at the very least for

I think the steam deck proved otherwise too.. I haven't had enough motivation to sit on my couch and game after a long day .. But the same game, in bed, on my deck was so much nicer.. All I can now say is having a dedicated device, tha

Chances are you'll run out of ram trying to run a browser inside another browser on a TV with 1-2GB ram usually. You might have a better luck with network level ad blocker like pi-hole or adguard for eg

It's definitely the port too. I changed the cable and the connection is still loose. Not as bad as the previous cable, but still bad..

Yesterday, I had an interesting situation where a colleague was using LLM to type up the chat responses to me. They used an LLM to come up with a Hackathon idea. They tried to use LLM to get to the implementation part. One of the permission

I think my only big complaint with USB C these days is that the sockets wear out quickly. The charging port on my motorola phone got so loose that I frequently end up with an uncharged phone after a full night of "charging", just

The best part of this is you can daisy chain tunnels and have a network connection between any machines you can ssh into. If you have a private server with a public IP, you don't need localtunnel etc.. you can just use ssh tunnels to

> I don't quite understand why "embedded" has historically meant learning a completely separate tool. I've been building for x86 and ARM servers for 5+ years now, so why should targeting an ARM board be any different?

Wouldn't HEVC licences already be paid by the hardware/gpu vendors on most devices? And Microsoft just exposes api for that hardware? Is this just for a purely software implementation of it?

Typically libgcc_so.so is loaded by the linker, which uses an mmap call to map the binary into the address space. > The kernel keeps track of which file is mapped where, and can detect when a request is made to map an already mapped file

Mark of the ninja - definitely fun and half the gameplay was putting out lamps. The mimimi games: Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3, Shadow Gambit are my favourite.. it's view cones but they also depend on the amount of light there is. they

The worst part of this is half of these are the same white labelled tuya devices that can simply bind to each other's apps or the original tuya app.. And half of them completely disable local network access... Like why?!
