interesting - an equivalent Azure Document Intelligence service (scanning with layout) is 10$/1k

I'm wondering: how can understanding gradient descent help in building AI systems on top of LLMs? To mee it feels like the skills of building "AI" are almost orthogonal to skills of building on top of "AI"

Yes: https://telegram.org/blog/ultimate-privacy-topics-2-0

Specifically for telegram there's a (rather expensive) crypto-based no-sim option: https://telegram.org/blog/ultimate-privacy-topics-2-0/ru?set...

Github Actions totally has MacOS runners: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runne...

There's no technical reason, other than thinness, for the way Dell soldered the RAM down, for instance.

That's a sentiment that's been repeated a lot, and it's not fully true.

One important property that soldered-on RAM has is increased security. There's been a demonstrably practical way to break full-disk encryption with physical access to a turned on or sleeping computer by re-attaching the memory quickly to another computer. The keys then can be read from the memory.

That's not a vector you have anymore if the memory is not removable.

block signups for all IP addresses we identify as coming from within Russia

I think they hope that this way they will not be blocked and thus the existing customers can keep connecting indefinitely.

It was a concious decision in 2017 to close Google's and Microsoft's web documentation portals so that MDN can be a unified source of truth: https://www.zdnet.com/article/developers-rejoice-microsoft-g...

Question from someone relatively clueless: Does that mean that NFTs also will use negligible amount of electricity once that's completely gone through?

Literally the first link in "Discover our content selection" leads to an expired domain name [1].

I'm not sure what to make of it but it does seem like a somewhat of a telltale for what's going to happen with my videos should I upload them to one of the PeerTube hosts.

They had a fun blog post about it back in the day: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/b8/designing-...

Note there's Microsoft's reply here: https://winbuzzer.com/2020/03/20/microsoft-responds-to-resea...

Apparently this hardware identifier is used to be able to comply with gdpr data deletion requests.

One important data point there is Visual Studio Code.

It used to be really popular in 2017 (double the popularity of Atom/Sublime/Webstorm), now it's just eating everyone's lunch (triple the popularity of Sublime/Vim/Webstorm/Atom, almost equal to all of them combined).

Also Atom is declining sharply.

Compare that app + Surface Hub to Google Jamboard [1] which is a single-purpose 4k TV capable of only fulfilling this use case and costing $5k + $600/year.

I think Apple might like that with their privacy stance. It really does increase the user's privacy by never sharing the location with external parties.

It will also simplify things for the developers in simple use cases and offer more integration like "jump to native maps" etc

Please also note that you might be better served by a new "Preview" version here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/cas-preview/9nblggh4...

Don't know why they still keep it in preview.

There's another project that does exactly that, City Art Search: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/city-art-search/9wzd...

Whatsapp then syncs the messages with iCloud as plain text by default, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please include the link to github ( https://github.com/jgthms/css-reference ) for everyone to edit and write issues.

Would be particularly nice to have a direct link to edit every particular property on its section, e. g. https://github.com/jgthms/css-reference/edit/master/property...

Every Windows user get a separate Linux.

When they run bash for the first time, system asks them to create a default linux user. Typically, this is also the only user.

Mapping Linux users to Windows users would be quite problematic, e. g. with user such as nobody or apache that are typical to Linux.

There's a Microsoft blog post which gives much more details: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/01/19/nodejs-chakra...

You're incorrect about Windows. If you just click next several times the cert will not be added to trusted. To do that you'll have to override default settings in a non trivial way (deselect "Choose cert store automatically" and select the correct cert store) on one of the steps

I'm sure that's intentional design

If you liked the article, you'll probably enjoy travel notes by Artemy Lebedev who is just two countries behind: http://tema.ru/eng/travel/countries/

One country he had hard time getting into is Turkmenistan: http://tema.ru/eng/travel/turkmenistan-2/ The visas are declined and the search form on the airline site is actually a jpg.

The North Korea travel notes are a good read as well: http://tema.ru/eng/travel/north-korea/

This is very similar to awesome Gary Bernhardt's Boundaries: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries

Watch it if you still haven't

If I'm reading correctly, that means I can build an app without any explicit auth on OS X/iOS with backend which allows access to personal data via AppleID username/password.

That's neat.

The fact that java and flash are not installed makes you quite unique by itself.

The Art of Unit Testing by Roy Osherove is indeed amazing.

Thanks to it I now write much better unit tests, and as a result of removed frustration I do it much more often.

I wonder, why blur it at all? What's so useful/dangerous there?

My Sony Ericsson K310i used to discharge in a week when turned off with a SIM-card present and only lose 5% in a month when turned off with SIM-card removed.

At the time I thought it was due to poor power management, but now it really makes me wonder.
