We always think about the energy consumption, but large data centers gobble billion liters of water too. This would need to be improved.

OK, the numbers are indeed impressive. And it's API is fully compatible apparently, looks like a good replacement if you got Pandas code around.

Really nice in depth post. Everything you ever wanted to know about antialiasing but didn't dare asking.

Good advice, no one should be a "React developer". Make sure you learn more fundamental skills.

This can change from organization to organization. This post proposes a career ladder which will work in some contexts. What's clear is that it's all about scope and impact.

Good reminder that models shouldn't be used as a service except maybe for prototyping. This has felt obvious to me since the beginning of this hype cycle... but here we are people are falling in the trap today.

Excellent post showing reasons to be skeptical about Bluesky's future. Despite all their likely sincere claims I don't see how they'll escape enclosure and enshittification when their sketchy VCs will want to see money back.

You're on the fediverse and you want to reach out bluesky users? This might be the right tool for you (unclear if it'll scale yet though). At least if and when Bluesky turns bad, people will know where to reach friends next.

This is what we get for refusing to regulate social media and for not auditing their algorithms. Their owners can game and bias the platforms as they see fit for their own gains. They became massive forces of manipulation in the process.

Sad to see people predominantly jumping from Twitter to other tech moguls walled gardens. This feels more and more like a missed opportunity for the fediverse. That said I'm amazed at how efficient Musk has been at killing the network effect of his platform. This proves it's actually doable.

If you're just doing the minimum to deal with a task to "mark it done" you're probably not doing enough and missing out on learning opportunities.

Will we see more deployments of C++ standard library with bound checking by default? It definitely looks tempting.

Interesting tips to keep learning on the technical side of the job as you get more managerial responsibilities.

Looks like a nice tool. Maybe it'll replace my trusty cgdb in some cases.

Nice to see open hardware for VR hitting such a price point.

Seeing the amount of PHP code open on the internet, it's indeed important to harden the runtime (at long last).

More signs of the generative AI companies hitting a plateau...

Interesting reasoning about what is hard in systems with concurrency. It's definitely about the state space of the system and the structure of that space.

Good musing about complexity. Very often we need to move it around, the important question is where should it appear. For sure you don't want it scattered everywhere.

Now this is definitely a smart trick to estimate position in tunnels.
