It is a downer, but I would like to test the performance first in the practical scenario. I've been working on a project where tagged unions would literally saved us from complexity. If that to happen again later I would go for boxed i

It is pedantic, and you have to be pedantic when talking about laws and regulations. The vaguely written laws have the tendency to be interpreted in the most restrictive way possible by the executive branch. > "Algorithm" is o

Define "algorithm" then. I would argue that "sort by date, excluding stuff the user already watched" is already an algorithm.

I expect that only to escalate with time, especially when there'll be more agent-written code deployed.

One of the most convenient aspects of Air Drop for me is that it selects the fastest available connection between the devices and ability to work without both devices being on the same network. I wonder if any of the alternatives do the sam

It seems the author conflates "pro work" and "work with text". For many people it is true, for many others it is not.

> This is entirely expected. The low prices of using LLMs early on was totally and completely unsustainable. Do you think this is true for DeepSeek as well?

Curiously, that describes cyclic universe hypothesis by dr. Penrose pretty well

The game smartly sorts players into lobbies based on their aggressiveness towards others. And this is where it diverges from real life scenarios.

Businesses are not government services and free to do whatever allowed by the law. For a country to be dystopian the government in your example must prohibit businesses to take cash.

The app is running in a virtual environment intercepting its system calls and designed to patch app‘s memory to fake an ID.

And that it is not required. Physical ID is still accepted

To become dystopia people must be forced to use locked down smartphones. In reality you buy the one that suits your needs and do not enforce your design decisions on the smartphones other people use.

> An app should have absolutely no way of knowing what kind of device it’s running on or what changes the user has made to the system. and therefore the app cannot give a reasonable guarantee that it is not running in an adversarial envi

I use several non-fullscreen windows over desktop. Stage manager makes switching between them very convenient. But I do use full screen windows, they live in their separate spaces. I see no reason whatsoever to maximise any window without i

It will. The web chat has censorship features, but the model you can download doesn't.

The way I understand it, it's a way of compressing vectors by switching from their per-component representation to polar coordinates representation, where the nearby vectors are clumped together to a single line, allowing to describe t

Judging by the comments sideloading plays a major part in everyone's life. What apps do you sideload guys? Why those apps are not in a store?

I have a few questions. In that system does the age verification result come with some sort of ID linked to my government issued ID card? Say, if I delete my account on a platform after verifying and then create a new one, will the platform

So nice to see another person being that enthusiastic about ray tracing! I didn't do a comparable level of work in this field, but as a hobby this fascinates me a lot! One common misconception is that ray tracing is computationally pro

LoC is a good code quality metric, only it has to be inverted. Not "it wrote C compiler in 100 000 lines of code", but "in just 2000 lines of code". Now that is impressive and deserves praise.

As someone from game development, not supporting Vulkan on Android and sticking with OpenGL ES instead is a safer bet. There is always some device(s) that bug out on Vulkan badly. Nobody wants to sit and find workarounds for that obscure ve

I expect more kids will switch to playing more games on their phones with their friends. Whoever thinks the kids will instead put down their phones and starting go out more often has lost touch with reality.

I'm replying to the statement that 30% was always a bad deal, by providing an example that shows that it was a clear improvement on the market of mobile development (as others did the same in this comments section). In your cavemen log
