"AI toothbrush" was not on my 2026 bingo card. Surprisingly, $30 for two replacement heads is comparable to other electric toothbrushes (not counting third-party bulk knockoff replacements, which I have been using for years withou

A compiler translating high-level code to machine code is a predictable and repeatable process. An LLM translating a prompt to to high-level code has a much lower degree of predictability. To say an LLM prompt is a comparable abstraction is

That is a LOT of code (very ugly code, I would add) that could be replaced by `type Float = float32 | float64` in a language with actual support for union types.

The word "snapshot" is not entirely accurate. They used several bots to manually download the world by flying around, and that collection process takes several months (as described in the blog post).

The only redundant part of this snapshot is the second 512k^2 snapshot of the overworld. The End and Nether snapshots are still meaningful. Excluding the 512k^2 snapshot, the size would be around 12TB. And the actual size of the 2b2t worl

I see coworkers reach for AI to perform many tasks that are made trivial by a few keystrokes or a simple macro in Vim.

"fine" is a very accurate word to describe Tizen. It's slow and really hard to find things sometimes (why do TVs not have a simple "input switch" button any more?), but ultimately it gets the job done. You can make

I use aliases that lazily load nvm when I actually want to use it. This converts the shell startup penalty into a node/npm startup penalty.

If you constantly pawn a task or cognitive load onto someone else (AI or not), you'll eventually get worse and worse at that particular type of thinking. Your overall mind doesn't necessarily get weaker, but you definitely start

I am a bit confused and very curious what purpose this site is trying to serve. They seem to have many articles all talking about the same concept which I think could be summarized as: "code is fungible". That is to say, the tes

In 2020 Netflix claimed they would start to automatically cancel inactive accounts [1], but the post has since disappeared. I also remember Microsoft saying the same thing about Xbox Game Pass but have not searched for their statement. [1]

As someone with no real-world petrochemistry experience, but much gaming experience, I was very surprised how familiar the crude oil processing diagram looks. Factorio and GregTech are two prime examples of fairly realistic oil processing

I would love one of these for Google Chat. It feels like it's been getting slower and slower these past few years.

I'm trying to understand what you mean by this. Are you saying they're "bad" in terms of resolution, or artistic value, or something else? They seem good enough (far from "bad") by any definition I can think

`9↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑9` seems like a reasonable guess (barring encoding cheats/trickery like @masfuerte commented!) Edit: I've misread the above comment and my number is is 64 bytes (si

By the astronomical definition of the word "orbit", no. Earth does circle Mercury though (and Mercury circles Earth). In terms of this post - I suppose technically Earth does NOT circle the Moon, because we never see its back!

Fun to see you here - I discovered this game through your videos! I think despite the lack of raw "content", I got a LOT of playtime out of this game by trying to push higher on the leaderboards.

Sarcasm noted. An apple would actually be more difficult to hit because of its reduced size.

I think it's more appropriate to say TOTP /is (nearly)/ phishing-proof if you use a password manager integrated with the browser (not that it /doesn't need to be/ phishing-proof)

"Repeats" may be the term you're looking for. That would be interesting, however in some pieces it could make the overall document MUCH longer. It would be similar to loop unrolling.

The project has data about every location (doors, chests, etc.) and the conditions that must be met to allow access to those locations - for example [1]. From there the randomizer shuffles various entrances/exits and item locations ar

Question for you and commenter above, do you play games with controls similar to Outer Wilds often? Do you play many games in general? I've seen this comment a few times and I'm curious why this is such a common talking point.

> If your language has bad defaults, you may have to ask for the right rounding mode explicitly. Is the author implying Rust's default rounding behavior is a bad default? In what world is "ties to even" a GOOD default?

The example in the EnforcePlayerTurns section is kind of buggy. Make an attempt to place two Xs in a row in different cells, then place an O in a third cell - the second X you attempted to place will magically show up at the same time as t
