I'm saying my site and everything on it is written manually.

Yes, and at least the strings they attached are productive palatable unlike some other organizations: https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-funding-statement.h...

Yeah, TFA's point is that the basic/inexpensive camera in the hands of an unskilled user can be higher quality than an equivalent iPhone camera shot. In my opinion from the example shots used this is definitely the case. Camera phone distortion is pretty bad (you have to stand back further from your subject offset this, use a higher res setting, and crop in) and the processing has gotten out of hand in recent years to the point where it starts making photos look worse and worse.

Looks like Godot. It says open source but the source code is behind a paywall? https://studio.blender.org/projects/dogwalk/3e16c961df2f84/?...

It's going to depend heavily on what you're doing. If you're doing common tasks in popular languages, and not using cutting edge library features, the tools are pretty good at automating a large amount of the code production. Just make sure the context/instruction file (i.e. claude.md) and codebase are set up to properly constrict the bot and you can get away with a lot.

If you're not doing tasks that are statistically common in the training data however you're not going to have a great experience. That being said, very little in software is "novel" anymore so you might be surprised.

AI coding tools aren't equally effective across all software domains or languages. They're going to be the "best" (relative to their own ability distribution) in the "fat middle" of software engineering where they have the most training data. Popular tasks in popular languages and popular libraries (web dev in React, for example). You're probably out of luck if your task is writing netcode for a game engine, for instance.

I am retiring from tech after 20 years and embarking on a new career which requires intensive schooling. As a high school and college drop out, I will need to learn how to study again, and want to be as efficient as possible so that I may still spend ample time with my family. Any tips greatly appreciated!

I think maybe the idea is you can choose your experience based on what's best for you, if the system is built that way.

1080p is perfectly sharp at 13” - and if you’re using the computer all day chances are you’ll just plug in a 4K external display anyway.

The article specifically mentions his agent booked it for him in a statement from Snowden.

There are other contributing factors as well, intrinsically linked to the evolving social/economics dynamics in our society. For example, it's now much more common for families to have two working parents, and thus less time to prepare nutritionally complete food from scratch. So people naturally gravitate toward engineered food which is easier to prepare, but less "good" as food. There are many other similar effects that lead to Americans eating more/poorer food like advertising, school lunches, etc, but the deck is definitely stacked against this world to reverse the obesity epidemic.

The type of food we eat has a major impact on the prevalence of overweight individuals. The fast/easy food is the most calorie dense, most affordable, and least satiating compared to the food we used to eat 40+ years ago. Even adjusting for eating habits and lifestyle differences (sedentary people tend to get bored and snack) the food itself is just more efficient at delivering calories than it used to be and our population hasn't adjusted to this fact.

It's just part of the ARM instruction set.

We do “take homes” that are paid at $65/hr. Still, biased toward people who can make the time.

And practically every web framework out there provides exactly this type of reusable functionality, not tied to a specific vendor.

I have been using multipass very successfully the past few weeks. It's a full fat VM and has an experience very similar to that of WSL. https://multipass.run/

I have been looking for, but haven't found, a similar package for Java projects. Ideally my team can add it as a save-hook for everyone using IDEA, then we can have a pre-commit hook that checks to ensure compliance. Would be eternally grateful for anyone that can point me in the right direction!

A LOL from the docs:

Can I run Aleph without using Docker?

Can Britain leave the European Union? Yes, it's possible; but complicated and will probably not make your life better in the way that you're expecting.

Doctors give out the "unknown virus" diagnosis literally all the time. It's extremely common.

This looks almost identical to Gin https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin

Gin has 1000s of production users right now. Please evaluate carefully before choosing one or the other.

Not saying they should at all. Why pay to maintain a product line that isn’t financially viable?

Certainly PR speak. They just don’t want to maintain support for the platforms anymore due to their ROI.

Very interesting, I have not heard of this before. I will give it a try out. Thanks!

Pics!

Disregarding the energy cost, couldn't a "dumb" PoW be more computationally complex than Sha256, such that a relatively larger number of computers could compete in the consensus algorithm, thereby increasing decentralization? To me, Bitcoin doesn't seem that decentralized, considering the ASIC chip manufacturers control the majority mining stake. Intel has even gotten into the game.

It appears to be a side project at this point. They have revenue against expenses on their "open" page here: https://simpleanalytics.com/open but as you can see salary is ~$500/mo
