I just discovered this and it’s exactly what I’ve been hoping for since 2016. I’m just sorry I’m JUST finding out about it.

High density batteries allows us to have dramatically cheaper electricity. Think of it like this, what happens when electricity is 1/10th the cost? Beyond what others have pointed out (electric airplanes, cars that drive thousands of m

I did my thesis on using medioni's tensor voting framework to reconstruct noisy, blurry, low-res and the like images. It was sponsored by USGS on a data set that I thought was a bit of a bizarre use case. The approach worked pretty w

How does this differ from what Github Copilot does when writing its .github/copilot-instructions.md? That doesn't keep the transcript or prompts, but it does keep quite a bit of the context and a declarative state of the decisions

Don't forget stand-ins, much of this hasn't discussed that credit card networks do a lot of "stand-ins" when the issuer is unreachable (bank goes down, latency too high, etc). It's a bit unclear how things like Wer

Believe it or not clippy the Microsoft helper for word was a huge interest and feature for all of about 2-3 weeks before everyone realized its interactions were just “on top” of actually doing something. Once the cost of clippy, and its fai

Websites aren't accountable for user content because of the DCMA and Safe harbor laws protecting them from the risk of what users post [1]. Gun manufacturers are protected from liability by the PLCAA [2]. Police aren't held accoun

It’s still a very large considerably risk. They don’t have the equivalent of a net neutrality law to shield them. Money transferred on their network is their liability.

Before anyone goes with pitchforks at Mastercard or Visa it's worth remembering that just because something isn't criminal it can still be quite a civil issue. Visa and Mastercard take on quite a bit of risk by allowing payment tr

I might disagree a bit with this, I've had all three titles and from my experience: A manager is executing on plans, managing the work, aligning people on teams and enforcing policy & process. A director is creating the plans to so

I think the basis of his arguement is a prig is incentivized by calling out the moral failures of others to make themselves feel more virtuous. Where perhaps the quakers or MLK were doing it out of moral outrage.

The selling point of being faster than helm isn’t a very big draw to me.. I never felt the problem with helm was its speed.

I literally left front end development because of stuff like this. It felt like insanity. Throwing out the door debuggers, linters, all the tooling so we could express objects as attributes?… and enforce managing state better?.. It felt lik
