Yeah if you treat it is a junior engineer, with the ability to instantly research a topic, and are prepared to engage in a conversation to work toward a working answer, then it can work extremely well.

Some of the best outcomes I’ve had have needed 20+ prompts, but I still arrived at a solution faster than any other method.

An overblown issue, but this reversal of the video is a way better advert IMO https://x.com/rezawrecktion/status/1788211832936861950

Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.

Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.

I think auto generated subtitles were to fulfil a FCC requirement, some years ago, for content subtitling. It has however turned out super useful for LLM feeding.

Yeah it’ll come to the Air’s and the Mac Mini at some point. I suspect it’s actually cheaper to make on the new process node (it’s the second generation of TSMC’s 3nm process), so maybe it won’t be too far off.

MKBHD did a video on this. Pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY

Yeah worth considering, gets stuff done with less complexity than k8s. Teams that choose it seem to delivery more quickly IME.

Hahahahaha. Not going to be much in the bag at that point.

My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.

It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.

Yeah this has been going on for a long old time on /r/dwac_stock. Lots of ‘diamond hands’ buy the dip’ etc… that said I expect a bunch of folk ended up making some decent cash when it went public, but anyone holding now is just asking to be a bagholder.

Thanks for the informative reply and the references. Very interesting!

One of the problems Amtrak is facing at the moment is a lack of rolling stock. The author notes that the California Zephyr was running full. It’s also running a shorter consist that it would have traditionally because of a lack of units. Increasing the length of the consist, assuming the engines can pull it, would reduce the emissions per seat. The ridership demand is there, the investment into Amtraks stock is, sadly, not.

 

Reviews of Aliens: Dark Descent are rolling out today. Read on for evaluations of whether this is worth a shot, or if it should just be nuked from orbit:
