Image models that support text output like Image2, or general text models that can read images like Claude can vectorize raster images. But they aren't very good at it, doing it manually in Inkscape still produces better quality even when done by non-artists.

Sorry to say but it points more to a lack of conversational skills in you than people being less exciting than Claude.

It's not always socially permissible but I often approach others with the mindset 1) Is this person far more knowledgeable in some topic than I, or 2) Let's find an unusual quirk about them that I never would have expected. And it rarely disappoints.

Could you share some pre LLM false positives? Would be interesting to see what is tripping the detection. Did a tiny fraction of authors write like LLMs, before LLMs?

One _directly_ feeds into the other. Next step: The UK police monitoring all glasses livestreams.

They are already. I've got the Spacemit K3 and it is a bit below Sandy Bridge single-core speed - so nothing spectacular - but fast enough for everyday desktop use. And way faster than my old budget smartphone's SoC.

Yes RISC-V has not caught up to modern x86/ARM CPUs like Zen 5, Snapdragon or Apple but still fast enough for modern browsers and most software in general.

Already existing RISC-V CPUs are certainly fast enough to build entry level smartphones. It's probably just a matter of time (3-5 years maybe?) until some Chinese company does it.

Chinese companies are really into RISC-V and China both builds and uses a lot of smartphones, I'm very sure we won't have to wait 20 years for regular users installing apps on RISC-V hardware.

Non-renewable != CO2 intensive (that's how France is doing much better than Germany in CO2 per capita despite being similar in this graph)

Memory safety problems are still possible in the new Rust Bun:

     At the time of writing, about 4% of Bun's Rust code sits inside an unsafe block (~13,000 unsafe keywords across ~27,000 lines / ~780,000 lines), and 78% of those blocks are a single line — a pointer that came from C++, or one call into a C library.

I'm too young but I imagine assembly programmers were feeling the same when automatic code generation by compilers took over. Very weird.

True, but there are quite lightweight cars and heavy motorcycles.

Lower damage potential of small and light cars compared to SUVs does not seem to give them a free pass to skip the sprawling driver assistance regulations.

Every year it feels more surprising how motorcycling is still allowed. No seatbelt, no ABS, no problem...

I often cycle a road with lots of bats hunting and one evening two slammed into my face and upper body (and one only avoided by ducking quickly). It's pretty obvious that they are not perfect navigators.

I have an old $70 test device with stock Android/Google that hasn't seen security updates in half a decade yet all banking apps, electric car charging, Google services, you name it, work absolutely fine.

Meanwhile the daily driver phones of my privacy-aware family members running up-to-date Lineage or Graphene OS with recent kernels and frequent updates constantly run into apps refusing to work for "security" reasons. It's a complete joke.

I watched the whole thing thinking it could've just asked me

You can tell it just that. Happened to me too but after instructing it to leave the review to me Fable was useful for hours of frontend iterations without significant token usage.

The agents did all the work but _somebody_ has to test it for real on their own data to find the edge cases overlooked by AI. That's what users are for nowadays.

And what if someone gets pwned by a bog standard logic or input validation bug in your slopped together "nginx" that is not present in the original?

10 perfect hits in a row!

...

handleClick({clientX: els.bar.getBoundingClientRect().left + els.bar.getBoundingClientRect().width / state.n * state.target })

Don't forget a bunch of wires (there is always the right USB or aux cable missing, right?) and a spare cellular phone or two!

Agents are just a stream of text, they cannot access anything. Some kind of interpreter is needed that recognizes special patterns and runs real code.

Do you mean directly == raw shell access on your production server?

Of course I don't have proof but this looks mighty suspicious: https://github.com/stellamariesays/Manifold/issues/54

It's clearly coming from a claw agent. I'm sure they will post more :)

Why wouldn't it be economical?

Following the logic their agents should be able to find and make money with niche businesses cheaper than human entrepreneurs.

God damn. I know somebody that became a multi-millionaire from web hosting in the 2000s and his entire data center back then could have been replaced with just one of these SSDs.

Same with heise online, Germany's largest IT news site:

Dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years is pure fearmongering. There are loads of chemicals, metals and other nasty stuff that are dangerous forever and also need to be stored somewhere safely, indefinitely.

I personally live close to a commercial Asbestos dump (an old mine) and absolutely nobody cares about it. It's so unimportant it doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.

Yet the second radioactive waste is concerned (even if it's just old rubble) everybody seems to lose their minds and refuses to even think rational.

I think you are overestimating the impact of the long tail of compiler optimizations. You don't need to reverse-engineer every microarchitecture under the sun and optimize for their specific quirks like LLVM does to have useful code generation.

Just doing the basics goes a long way with a tiny fraction of the effort. Yes it will leave some percent on the table but this is hardly the end of the world. With their own compiler they have full control over the entire chain and might be able to make up for that with their own language-specific optimizations.

Go has a custom compiler, too, it's not as good as LLVM, so what?

How has not honing their craft and churning out generic slop instead as fast as possible worked out for artists?

Everybody can do that now with zero training.

LLMS are the ultimate equalizer. You won't have a future if you can only do average things fast. It's time to become eccentric, and the academic bubble is perfect for that.

96% of all EU support to Ukraine is a loan that has to be repaid (and the "90 billion" package will be that, as well). If Ukraine wins, the current tally is that 15% of all Ukrainian tax will go to, well, effectively Germany.

EU expects to use Russia's frozen assets as collateral/reparations for repayment when Russia gives up/Ukraine wins. Everybody knows that Ukraine cannot repay themselves.

whether that means nukes or the other weapon that has worked really well in Ukraine (killbots), is going to be massively unpopular.

This thinking dominates the current discourse and it is shockingly stupid. Making nukes and drones is bad and unpopular, alright.

So instead we "prepare for war" and "get ready for hard times" because it sounds so brave, so heroic and abstract. Politicians are suddenly allowed to spend staggering amounts of money on defense companies - people love it - and nobody wants to ask what exactly is the scenario we are preparing for.

I am all for Europe being prepared for war. That is a necessity.

Why? Name one scenario where EU needs a bigger army and masses of barely-trained conscripts.

If you say "Ukraine loses", why not spend all effort on helping Ukraine instead?

So, I am all for better health care, better education, less dependency on foreign gas and oil, better funding for goverment programs ...

You do realize that preparing for war is insanely expensive and can only be funded by cutting all those other nice things? Also, what do we need education for if we actually expect many people to die in World War style ground warfare?

How about: Let's build some nukes, spend the rest of the money on Ukraine support, and forget about ground war conscription lunacy?

Exactly. For GET reqeuests HTTP/1 conformant servers must support pipelining or close the connection.

So this is the best way to generate extreme load and stress-test the internal architecture of an HTTP/1 server. But yeah the sendfile approach only works for this kind of testing and not in the generic case.
