Logo started my love of programming. I will always be thankful for it and that little turtle. IIRC there was a limit of 128 stamps in LogoWriter and my sister and I would fight so much about it.

You may know more about what it powers. It has enabled much faster, higher quality, more stable security software on Linux. Many modern security tools are built on top of it. While end users might not know it by name, it has made Linux e

Being the _the_ place for open source is what let them dominate the enterprise. Now that they dominate the enterprise, it'd make financial sense to put hard limits on the free tier. It's cynical but it would be foolish to lose t

I'm generally extremely skeptical about a lot of the model hype that show up in comments. Except when there is an extreme mismatch the performance, quirks and quality of these things are difficult to nail down. You wouldn't kno

It often is. Risky Business Features did a fantastic podcast on how different popular methods of guardrails work and some popular methods on defeating them. Absolutely worth a listen because there are some surprising insights in there on h

Even more than supporting any agent that support almost anything period. They seem to take the default approach of using open community standards first when adding new features. By investing very heavily in LSP, ACP, DAP, tree-sitter etc

I can't wrap my head around the idea that distillation is IP theft but mass training on books, music and art without consent is fair use. The two stances are incompatible. If it is transformative use of a book, it is transformative u

I'm glad someone ran the numbers on this. Every single Simon Willison post of an SVG is followed with someone dismissing it saying "I'm sure they train on it by now." This is despite a good blog post with sound logic on

If you remove the word "AI" from your post it also describes the last 20 or so years of US/Chinese economic competition. They are real, serious competitor but also there is a lot of value in that last 10%. Some buyers need

Did it misunderstand "don't believe me just watch" and put a bunch of washing machines in on the Fable 5 $100 at about 1:20?

It looks like some of that high LoC is because they are vendoring some deps. There readme gives the reason to vendor some but not others as: > These crates sit on the path that renders untrusted model output (diagram source → SVG). Vend

Great article! Thank you. Also in case others walked away with the same question I had, I'll save you the googling: use the utility vrrtest to help validate if VRR is properly configured on your machine.

I had the same issue when logged in. I opened a private tab and it worked.

Thank y'all so much for doing this. I really appreciate y'all not putting STIG/FIPS behind the paywall. Rare and aggressive move.

I think 3? I feel like that's often enough. Sometimes it's nice to do a quick dumb ass gag on a whim. If I am anything I am a man who loves a dumb ass gag.

Can't agree more. I was skeptical that Kagi could be that much better. I felt a little silly paying for a service that had always been free. After using it for a week I can't imagine going back. Too many times I used to google

That's a minor nitpick that probably worth making in this context. People often casually use free and open interchangeably, like the the person I responded to did. There are times when it does have a real semantic difference in meani

Honestly, when was open source not political? Look at early GNU writing. The topics have change but it being political absolutely have not.

Oh my God. That's so exciting. I did a prototype a while back for writing UDFs in WASM for a query engine. The fact that everything needed to be copied in and out of the environment killed it. Excited to try it again if/when t

Not always. The calculations take its useful life expectancy as an input. If they estimate it correctly you have highly likelihood of it breaking, burning out or being woefully out of date by the end. At the 10 year window you are lookin

GitHub has been basically the default for free public git hosting for a long time. I was curious what bitbucket has and it looks like the free tier is so limited, I can't imagine a lot of people hosting vibe coded open source there.

I got "or similar" from Firefox and exact make and model from chrome. Probably a browser issue and not a hardware issue.

> It also contains LLM dishonesties like that the bundle size is KB That one jumped out to me too. The phrasing is so wiggly but technically correct it feels intentional. When I saw it I didn't blame it on the LLM, which is worse.

It's pretty common if you have IT and finance teams that are paying attention. Sure a lot of shops let them waste away on a shelf, but that's what it is, waste. If you have fungible inventory that isn't likely to get used s
