I wonder, where do these agents run, on whose machines? Do the owners of the machines know what their agents are doing? If the next generation of models will incorporate the knowledge posted by these agents, will there be a risk that my cla

It’s actually easy and straight forward to become an avogadrillionaire, on paper that is, but still an avogadrillionaire: issue a token with a supply of 6.02*10^23, sell one token for $1, bam, avogadrillionaire

The blockchain hosting companies like infura live by offering API access to ethereum, solana, binance smart chain, etc. I’d say they are now rather hosting companies because these blockchains are huge and a PITA to host reliably, but back i

Am I the only one thinking that going back full circle to server side rendering, but to a way more convoluted way of having it, is actually a regression rather than evolution technologically? We had SSR since the times of Perl, PHP, Python

I used to be a hard core stackoverflow contributor back in the day. At one point, while trying to have my answers more appreciated (upvoted and accepted) I became basically a sychophant, prefixing all my answers with “that’s a great questio

Chess puzzles work quite accurately IME to assess my mental capabilities for the day. Especially the puzzle storm on lichess. There are enough puzzles there to not repeat themselves too often and they are rated so they have similar difficul
