My university let us take 3-4 courses, up to 12 credits total, as Pass/Fail, but only for electives. I ended up taking just one that way. The policy was really designed for the breadth year becau…

Is the assumption here that inference costs will stay roughly static, or that frontier models will keep getting more expensive quickly enough to offset efficiency gains? Because I don’t think “the sub…

I think like you mentioned, the practical reasons are disproportionately oriented around either privacy (, a clear constrained workload (need to OCR files/transcribe audio, and there isn't r…

Labour force survey microdata files are public, for anyone who wants to poke in there for a more granular breakdown: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/catalogue/71M0001…

I don't think this would make a big difference for the threat model described in the OP? They'd still be able to use your IP Address and potentially do nefarious things through your role as …

I think from a technical perspective, newsletters are a solved problems with lots of options as you've mentioned. Substack thrives because it's built a reputation for having well-reasoned or…

I am quite sad that Kagi Smallweb excludes Substack. I understand that less technical writers have started moving to Substack both to build an audience and have access to effective publishing tools, b…

This is fantastic work, really impressive is an understatement. I really hope this sets a new DeepSeek-esque standard and starts another the death knell for companies continuing to cosplay as frontier…

I miss Google Text ads. I supported AdBlock Plus's decision to exclude them from default filtering. Man, what happened?

I did see the ads on the free side a week ago. I guess I was a victim of A/B testing but I was too lazy to login for a simple prompt.

People with visual impairments and other functional limitations don't deserve nice things apparently, like dignity online.

This was something I was genuinely excited to try while in Bangkok, took a Grab across town to make it happen, but it was it is honestly not good, the Google reviews seem to coincide with the consensu…

If I had to reckon, it's because the web comes in very many shapes, and outsourcing that work to a generalist LLM/SLM like GPT Nano is expensive, and doing it deterministically will never ca…

This is honestly hilarious and I applaud the excellent use of Claude Code for the malicious compliance with their demands.

It is scraped from Pixit. They sell lost/found, evidence + seized item management systems. [1] The listings are public; it was cool OP turned this into a mini art piece. [1] https://ww…

This is so cool. Thanks for doing this. I was able to get the Optiplex 7050 with the i5-6500T and 8GB of RAM (no SSD) for $40 USD about 2 years ago, shocked it's $100 USD now! I brought 8 for som…

>Do you remember all the PRoC’s strange and sudden policy shifts (e.g. steel, real estate, education, football/soccer, etc.)? I didn't realize I could download a Shanghai apartment.

One wonders if this might be a net positive for the world if Anthropic is forced to terminate it's non-US citizen employees. I would hope they return to their home countries with their expertise …

Which coding plan are you using? How are you finding it?

Please correct me if you have contradicting data but: Neuralwatt's price per token vs price for energy comparison doesn't seem to take into account the cost savings from cache hits that othe…

I've found MiMo-2.5 is fun for front-end design since you can use its multimodal capabilities to drop in whatever it produced and correct it for you.

Does it source data from OSM? The app store page doesn't make clear what the data source is.

Sadly not all of them, much to my ill discovery! They are fun souvenirs and I encourage everyone to collect them if they want a free momento (ideally bring your own stamp pad).
