It’s not about the LLM being modern or not. 3.5 Flash is fairly new, but it’s also a flash model. It’s not designed to be knowledgeable.

People keep doing this. Pointing at the known limitations of cheap/fast LLMs and pretending they’re universal is not, in fact, valid reasoning.

25 years isn’t that long, but it’s more about the material. If you have metal studs inside a plastic handle, then the metal expands in the dishwasher and cracks the plastic.

If the handle is wooden… everyone knows wood won’t survive a dishwasher.

If it’s metal, then yeah, that can work. That is, fortunately, easy to spot when you’re buying them… but the kitchen store in my city doesn’t have any knives that are all-metal and hold a decent edge.

(Except some overpriced Japanese ones I skipped over on basis that the metal is so hard it would be easy to damage them by accident. And I don’t need to do the “cut paper in half by dropping it” trick.)

Not all fields interact with all other fields. You can think of them as a loosely coupled graph…

There might be any number of graph components with no connectivity to our fields at all, and we’d never know. Assuming, of course, that we’re including gravity in this logic.

There’s also might be any number of arbitrarily complex components which are only connected through gravity. That’s a decent candidate for what the dark sector actually is.

The Norwegian way to eat cod liver is “squished between two flatbread, mixed with boiled potato and also cod”.

Which is absolutely delicious, even for a kid; it’s one of the meals I still remember loving. You should try it!

It’s too much code. Maybe companies are able to handle this, but as a solo dev it’s completely infeasible.

I could just not use those deps, but then I won’t be able to build anything interesting. The software industry has historically relied on being a high-trust society; I don’t know what will happen if that is changing.

Rewriting every dep with Fable for every project, maybe.

Regulation and prerogative, revenge-driven abuse of state power are not the same thing.

Anthropic has been asking for a sensible regulatory regime, as you would know if you read their suggestions. What you’re looking at is USG directly integrating with the free market based on personal dislike.

It’s purely a revenge tactic due to Anthropic’s disagreement with Hegseth’s desire to use AI for war crimes.

There’s a legit grid stability issue for solar in general, balcony or no.

Usage varies second by second, so the grid relies on physical inertia in the form of rotating turbines. Panels have no inertia; therefore, the more you have the less stable the grid gets.

That is however something which can be fixed by grid-scale batteries. Or home systems, for that matter, if they have batteries and some equivalent of Victron’s PowerAssist.

(Which limits the rate at which power draw can change. Very useful when you use a house-sized generator; it amounts to synthetic inertia. I have a 7kW generator, but a 7kW step load would stall it.)

That’s interesting. I have the opposite effect—X11 always had jank and latency, to the point that it drove me to windows for a couple of years.

This is with multiple monitors on Nvidia’s, all of which support vsync. Disabling that did help, but why would I want to?

Wayland, currently, is butter smooth.

Respectfully disagree. The AGPL exists for that use case, and the difference is exactly that you need to distribute the changes.

If you license something under GPL, that necessarily means you’re okay with people making local changes and not sharing them. If you aren’t okay with that, then don’t use the GPL.

For me, that means I use a mix of AGPL and MIT depending on project.
