But this is already happening with iPhones. Apple is touting on-device AI and only the latest phones offer the full capabilities. Newer phones will be able to run better models, so the incentive is there as soon as someone makes the killer

It’s because there always were two types of engineers and the difference was never clear until this technology existed. Some love the craft, and some love the results.

It took me forever to realize this, but I'm pretty sure the "options" ("ghost", "melt", "evanesce", and so on) aren't anything at all, just terms that are all adjacent to "fade" wh

The way he animated points with an increasing z value made it click for me. Now, when I look at the formula it makes sense. The larger the value of z, the smaller your projected x and y will be. This checks out because things get smaller as

Nonsense. Open the console on l any mediocre webpage and you’ll see a stream of JavaScript errors. But it’s still working. One script crashes? Doesn’t matter to any other script. Unhandled exception? Rest of the app is still working fine. H

I’m browsing around on this site and don’t see any indication that this is satire. I think your initial reaction is correct.

Congratulations! Beautiful design, very simple and appealing. The onboarding flow filled me with optimism, which I appreciated. That said, I bounced off at the pricing. The $30 lifetime price isn’t something I find inherently too expensive,

I don’t know about that. Flying under bridges has got to be one of the most popular simple joys available in a flight sim.

I made a simple web game using Rapier that takes advantage of the deterministic physics to prevent cheating by running physics and computing win/loss states on the server (though I stupidly haven’t implemented the high score board yet)

Nobody would pay to supply to the grid. If it came to that, panels would have an automatic shutoff, or some device that burns off excess electricity by doing pointless work.

No, you misunderstood the interface. While they certainly encourage you to use the weird biometric scanner it's in no way required. However you do have to have the Amazon app installed on your phone. When you open the app there's

Try using the thermal limiting feature in the right-hand battery menu. Any game I’m playing, I bring it down as far as I can without unacceptable impact to performance. Often I find that I can set it to 7-9 and the fan goes nearly silent wi

NvChad is excellent. I recently finished converting my older .vimrc-based configuration to an entirely lua-based one on top of the base NvChad setup and it‘s just perfect.

Just pinch the screen a bit and it’ll zoom out to fit the text. Clearly the site wasn’t designed with mobile in mind but there’s no need to make a big deal out of it and say it isn’t readable. I just read the whole thing on my five-year-old

Since the video game developers of that era certainly had access to reference CRTs while building games, you’re experiencing something closer to how it was originally intended to be seen.

I work from home and all of my driving outside of road trips probably averages out to about 40 miles a week. Considering that I paid $15k for my ICE car, something like this would be super attractive. Heck, it would be even more attractive

I was excited by Hathora and sat down to integrate it into a project I’m working on, only to find that it only supports Websockets. Given the inherent latency of using TCP-based messaging, it feels odd to advertise this as being good for re

I have the revised K3 and the keycaps don’t have any quality issues. You should be good to reorder.

This is absolutely not true. I worked with a guy who used a DSLR as a webcam and his picture was totally remarkable over Google Meet and Zoom. The very first thing I did was send a screenshot of the meeting's tile view to a friend, ask

If they could export mahogany, then they’d be cutting the rainforest down to export mahogany. What is your point?

I might actually be tempted use voice assistant/command software if I could communicate with it silently through a discreet sticker or necklace.

People from the 1980s are still alive and they’re not making anything more impressive than anyone else. These people weren’t magicians only held back by a lack of computer power, they were (again, “are”) regular people trying to maximize th

I'm assuming they mean it wasn't forked by clicking the "fork" button in GitHub, which creates a link at the top of the new forked repository page connecting it to the parent repository. It is a true fork though, both pr

I can relate to this. Keep your eye open for new opportunities and eventually you may find something that both pays well and contributes to solving the climate problem. The good news is that more people are finding ways of doing meaningful

My apologies. Your anecdotal experiences on a random team at Google clearly prove that anyone who hires US-based engineers at market rates is making a giant financial blunder. Also it wasn’t even slightly condescending of you to declare tha

The simple answer is that "whatever metrics you prefer to use" include qualifications that overseas engineers often cannot satisfy. Great engineers are human members of a team, and there's more to a team member than their Lee
