• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China hits 1 TW solar milestone⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  When I look closely it seems real, there’s all the construction tracks, but the solar panels themselves look fake in this resolution. It would help if they had added a few close-ups in the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember 10 years ago the YouTube app only showed ads on every 3rd video and often only a single 5 second ad, and everything longer could be skipped.

  Like a frog in a pot I could tolerate that amount, a few years later they started the ad ramp-up and what finally drove me to install vanced were 3 unskippable ads you had to endure just to watch something.

  Martin was the front figure, his brother Lex Luthor worked behind the scenes to get all the deals.

  He forgot to mention you have to do this for 23 hours every day to see any effects, and that you’ll die of exhaustion. But the good news is that they will bury you with your baby face.

  Good there’s other free alternatives out there. I’m in the office 97/2003 was peak ui group camp, the rest is just a more flashy UI that doesn’t really add more value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - ericjenott/Evertop: E-ink IBM XT clone with solar power, ultra low power consumption, and ultra long battery life.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks so cool, I would need to add tab completion (nasty Linux habit) and then Norton Commander and then I would be home, are there any step files and parts list, I couldn’t see them in the repo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘An Overwhelmingly Negative And Demoralizing Force’: What It’s Like Working For A Company That’s Forcing AI On Its Developers.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds about right, I had a positive experience when I told my local LLM to refactor a function and add a single argument.

  I would not dare letting it loose on a whole source file, because it changes random things giving you more code to review.

  In my view current LLM’s do a acceptable job with:

  • Adding comments
  • Writing docstrings
  • Writing git commit messages
  • Simple tasks on small pieces of code

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a link to the paper “Tiny Pointers” arxiv.org/pdf/2111.12800 those editors at Quantamagazine writes their summary in a strange fashion, for instance using x in stead of n which is normally used in computer science when talking about big O notation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨26 years late but I finally beat Half Life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, the journey is over when you reach Xen it’s just some mopping up that’s left.

  And when I reach the Citadel in HL2 it’s also a tossup if I continue.
