My general take is all of The GPU design efforts are going toward Enterprise / datacenter graphics cards. They are just skipping a generation or two of consumer.

It seems like this was entirely caused by Dario (and Anthropic as a whole)? When you run around marketing something as a "super weapon", the government may actually take you seriously?

We obviously can't A/B test this... but if Dario hadn't been doing that, would any of this been happening right now?

input latency. the time from pressing a key to showing on-screen is much lower with ghostty (I can't find exact number, but it seems to handle input 2-4x quicker. So around 15ms instead of 60ms).

Also just the general render pipeline is way faster in ghostty. There are things you just can't do in iTerm because it's so slow. Ghostty is attempting to improve the experience to allow for more things to be built in the terminal.

I think it's not just the answer you get, but using AI as a stochastic search engine over the rules to point you to potential answers.

It also locks up things for homeowners that want to DIY a solution fixing a house. Obviously people fix things without looking at the codes (and there are plenty of horror stories out there), but if we opened up house codes for people to actually look at and refer to, homeowners could potentially better find how to do things properly, especially with AI.

Construction codes are still pay walled.

IPC (plumbing) is $130: https://webstore.ansi.org/standards/icc/iccipc2024

And there are many others.

(I will say the YC company https://up.codes/ makes these much more accessible, and deals with local variants to these regulations)

JWT used to be bad due to libraries with poor defaults. Downgrade attacks were fairly common a number of years ago.

Since most of the common libraries across all languages have gotten more sane defaults, it actually is pretty secure nowadays.

Googler, opinions are my own.

My understanding is they're doing this in the name of security, though it obviously has some benefit to ads. this policy more closely aligns with what Safari does today. And it prevents add-ons from scraping information since they have to put in the block list ahead of time.

I've been using manifest v3 version of Adblock and it's worked just fine for me. But obviously is not perfect, but it fell into more towards security and privacy of the user against malicious extensions.

It's also nice that this has been solved for Blu-ray as well. You just have to buy the correct kind of Blu-ray drive, and there's custom firmware out there to flash on the drive and let you rip any Blu-ray.

The BCB in Brazil does very little to operate Pix. It's effectively a P2P system, where the BCB forces all the banks to interop with one-another (and all the banks directly call eachother). They can operate it that cheaply because they do close to nothing technically (they host the main discovery endopints). The only place the BCB actually ingests data is via their reporting mechanisms.

UPI is a bit more centralized, where the NPCI does the top-level routing between banks, so their operating budget is likely much higher than Pix. It also is drastically more simple to be a participant in UPI compared to Pix.

For Pix adoption: you can thank Covid for that. The Brazilian government said if you wanted to get free money from the government, you had to set up and use Pix.

US Financial Innovation: I'd say the hard thing here is that the government is extremely strict (lots of regulation) when you start looking like a bank. Lots of companies have tried to innovate here, but regulation makes it really hard to do. There's a lot of regulator capture going on.

A point that can be made is that just throwing money at something that doesn't produce meaningful results can be good to cut. having a bunch of data for data sake doesn't make it useful.

Potentially predicated on anti-dumping rules.

Settings -> All Settings -> Smart Features -> Turn on [off] smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet...

If you disable that feature, all AI everything goes away (including sorting by category). There are some more targeted features you can disabled to disable writing helpers if you want.

And Obama did this. See his famous pen and phone quote:

"We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I've got a pen, and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.."

I'm a googler, opinions are my own.

My take is that it's a fancy wrapper around the CLI tool. It's there to organize multiple conversations and see all the related output and generate files.

I've been using the internal version and I've actually liked it quite a bit. It's clear from when I started using it, it's not an editor, and they have ways to open your normal editor outside of it. They have turned it fully into an agent management tool.

When the antigravity development team doesn't have to focus on all the things that vscode is already good at, it lets them simplify the UI and do only agent related things. We'll see if this bet works out for them, but so far I like the idea.

There's a new setting rolling out in the YouTube app.

Go to settings > time management > shorts feed limit. Turn that setting on, and you can select how many minutes you limit to. There's now an option for "0 minutes".

the Railway PM doesn't say they weren't told. It just sort of glosses over this. I would be interested to know if they were told (or not).

Saas code hosting seems to be the problem here. If companies self hosted, they could deal with the scaling problems themselves.

Google has ~190k employees. You can't have total collaboration across that many people.

Teams will cross collaborate, but they have to be for specific projects with specific people.

I have been partially wanting one for the new one for a couple of the games, but then all four of my existing joy-cons on my Switch 1 started to have drift or other issues. So that sort of halfway saved me some money towards something I already wanted.

Though I sadly learned afterwards that you could send in controllers with drift and Nintendo would fix it for free.

I bought a switch 2 for one main reason: speed.

Switch 2 is backwards compatible with switch 1.

Switch 2 has better FPS for Switch 1 games. Like BotW stops having terrible FPS drops in certain scenarios.

Switch 2 loads games faster. There are test videos out there, but it's up to twice as fast.

I like the joycon 2 controllers ergonomics more.

California also needs a special blend that is only required in California (CARBOB). A lot of that is refined outside of the US, because there is not the capacity domestically. Cali could immediately have more fuel and cheaper prices by dropping their special requirements.

Gemini in search (AI Overview) is likely the most used LLM in the world, and ads can still surface around it.

(googler, opinions are my own. I know nothing about this outside of external info)

To steal from Twitter:

"Tim Cook took Apple from $350B to $4T"

So? That's a 11X market cap increase. In the same time, MSFT saw a 14X increase, Google saw a 20X increase, Amazon did 28X, Facebook did 35X. We're not even going to talk about NVidia.

Cook led Apple through a period where every tech company expanded. Yay for him?

The criticism around that event, I believe, involved Brown University disablinf cameras trying to protect potential illegal immigrants being targeted by ice. It wasn't the lack of cameras. It was a purposeful disabling of said cameras that already existed.

I think you should spend the 5 minutes it takes to look at the winget-pkg repo to see how it works. There's lots of great documentation.

All updates are manual, and are done via pull requests. Check everything in-queue: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pulls

Existing versions don't tend to have their metadata updated (I'm not sure winget would accept it). Only new versions are supported.

You can see all the checks that go into cpu-z updates with the latest PR: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/349095

For windows users, this is an advantage of using `winget` for installing things. It points to the installer hosted elsewhere, but it at least does a signature check. The config for the latest installer is listed here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifes...

which you can install with:

   winget install --exact --id CPUID.CPU-Z

First request latency also can really suck in Java before hotpathed code gets through the C2 compiler. You can warm up hotpaths by running that code during startup, but it's really annoying having to do that. Using C++, Go, or Rust gets you around that problem without having to jump through the hoops of code path warmup.

I wish Java had a proper compiler.
