Rest assured, all errors in my comments are my own hallucinations, not those of an LLM.

Edge is just chromium under the hood. So not a surprise there, should be easy lift for them.
comment
The signage and rules can be confusing, but I don’t recall bad experiences with airport staff. They are just trying to do their job in a hectic place. I don’t believe they are intentionally being diff…

That doesn’t change the fact that it’s minimum wage for the location. Doesn’t matter if they earn more than a highly skilled professional in a different country, it doesn’t change the skill set. FWIW…

Easy fix: - Laptop: In Tray / In bag - Shoes: Wear / Remove I’m sure we can come up with clear wording for such a sign lol.

Anecdotally, I can't tell much of a difference between the newer phone of my girlfriend (latest iPhone) and my iPhone 13. Maybe if I nitpick on it, but for my untrained eye they all look 'go…

Why is it "time" after 3 years? They should hopefully still be getting software updates, at least security updates. I'm on an iPhone 13 since launch (almost 5 years ago) and still see n…

You do realize North Macedonia is not representative of all EU countries, and that other EU countries have abnormal heat waves compared to the 90s? With effects like the first pyrocumulonimbus in Fran…

Any good books on the subject you'd recommend?

I was in Toronto in 2024. Wanted to travel to EU for the next one (I’m from EU) but sadly couldn’t make that happen. Enjoy the eclipse!

Gotta find exercise that is fun though. Don’t just try one thing and give up, it takes time to find what you enjoy. I’ve been swimming for 15 years, but only got into bouldering 1.5 years ago. I tried…

You forgot the mandatory meditation session!

It's not true indeed.

On the flip side of scary, it can put your problems in perspective and offer some kind of solace. I guess it's a bit of both :)
comment
I would love this in a 60% keyboard, seems great for travel and work. Any plans to support different form factors in the future?
comment
Soon we can start posting "GitHub {x} is up!" instead, that's becoming more news-worthy lol. I know they like to blame AI/scaling, but really they are owned by one of the main hype…
comment
Back in the good 'old' days, by playing repeatedly on the same server. On many games I've played (JK, UT, COD1-4), the servers just turned into giant chat rooms after 9pm or so. You pla…

A book I enjoyed in a similar vain is "Wordslut", it's an exploration of the etymology of various English words (mostly pejoratives today) and the difference in language use between gen…

Yeah, I’ve been on Steam for about 20 years now and I can’t recall many bad moments with Valve. The only one that comes to mind is the “outrage” when they decided to release L4D2 just a year after L4D…

Fair enough, not everyone can separate the art from the artist.

One of the great things about reading on the Kindle is that you can just highlight the esoteric words and the dictionary will explain it to you. Or you can use wikipedia if you need more info. It'…

Why?
comment
Unrelated to the post and to the actual series.

I had to avoid caffeine for some time due to medical issues. I really missed the morning ritual of waking up slowly with a cup of coffee, so I replaced it with decaf coffee which satisfies the ritual …
comment
I know you're saying this tongue in cheek. But the reason they're shuttering Alphafold is (likely) to assign those engineers and their expertise to Generative AI initiatives like Gemini.
comment
That's what they'll sell you. But fundamentally current LLM implementations seem to be the wrong methodology for 'AGI' and I don't think we're remotely close to having th…
comment
And without coffee! So you can't get a quick 'pick me up' along the way.
comment
I think they generally take some approximations, but yeah the walking one is problematic. Horseback is also mentioned, but depending on wealth you could use regular stops across the road and swap your…
comment
I couldn’t replicate it either. Not sure if the user who discovered it, accidentally did this in an environment with “memory” like an OpenClaw.
comment
Given how poor their Ukrainian war is going, this is a strange move. I guess it’s mostly just posturing?
