Interesting thread. I didn't know about this family of constants. Fun stuff.
OK, this is a nice parabole. I admit I enjoyed it.
Struggling with making your first technical roadmap? Driving it from measurable problems is a good first step.
You love artists and their music? You probably should get off Spotify then... because they're clearly at war to reduce even further how much they pay artists. Clearly it's not about discovering artists anymore, it's about pumping cheap stock music to increase their margin. Also its clear the remaining musicians trapped in that system will be automated away soon... you don't need humans to create soulless music.
It looks like it's not only impacting negatively our privacy. The linked paper (good to read as well) hints at negative impacts on mental health as well. Still needs to be fully validated but it doesn't look good already.
There is some good advice in this piece. If you want to maintain something for a long time, some aspects need to be thought out from the beginning.
A good reason to use more modern C++20 APIs for parsing code.
Nice move from the home assistant people. Such open and privacy respecting hardware is needed.
One of my favorite of the traditional design patterns in object oriented languages. Now obviously when you get pattern matching in your language... you don't need the visitor pattern anymore.
A good balanced post on the topic. Maybe we'll finally see a resurgence of real research innovation and not just stupid scaling at all costs. Reliability will stay the important factor of course and this one is still hard to crack.
It tries hard at not being a "get off my lawn" post. It clearly points some kind of disconnects though. They're real. I guess it's to be expected with the breadth of our industry. There are so many abstractions piled onto each other that it's difficult to explore them all.
It looks like analog chips for neural network workloads are on the verge of finally becoming reality. This would reduce consumption by an order of magnitude and hopefully more later on. Very early days for this new attempt, let's see if it holds its promises.
Kind of unsurprising right? I mean LinkedIn is clearly a deformed version of reality where people write like corporate drones most of the time. It was only a matter of time until robot generated content would be prevalent there, it's just harder to spot since even humans aren't behaving genuinely there.
I wouldn't use it as much as advocated in this article, still this is a good reminder that Java became way more approachable for smaller programs in recent years.
Indeed, we'll have to relearn "internet hygiene", it is changing quickly now that we prematurely unleashed LLM content on the open web.
IRIS² is the friendly reminder that tens of thousand of low orbit satellites is not the only design... and likely not the smartest one.
This is not all bad news, there are a few things to rejoice about.
Bluesky is already hitting growth pains regarding moderation and its guidelines. By being centralized it is also more at risk within the current US political climate.
I don't exactly use this approach to factor in the uncertainty... but I guess there's something to be made out of this proposal. I'll keep it in mind for my next project.
The TV market is really turning into a anti-consumer one.
