I do find myself painstakingly repeating tests after every commit no matter how minor it is.

Never heard about Canva. But checking them out they seem to focus on mobile apps and web apps to edit photos and videos. With a very specific focus on social media influencers. Don't be fooled by the cheeky templates and filters,they are going heavy on AI, with some interesting features such as inpainting and video background removal.

I guess that's either a very lucrative business or they have a ton of VC money behind them. This acquisition gives them some good editors on desktop to use as a base to deploy some of this AI tech focusing on a more pro market.

I don't think it matters because hacspec on this case is just the language which is a subset of rust. He still just uses cargo so treat it as rust code.

The point is that you can check the binary against some sort of formal definition to make sure the implementation you have at hand has not been tampered with. But it seems the idea is to check during dev not usage which for me is a missed opportunity. Why can't it check if it's correct every time it's loaded?

   Keep in mind that Bertie is written in hacspec -- a more "restrictive" version of Rust that lends itself to formal verification. Working on Bertie feels a lot like working on a typical Rust crate but all code needs to be valid according to hacspec. Thus, you may also find that some code is "unusual" compared to vanilla Rust.

DuckDB parses JSON using yyjson internally .

If you release that instead of the binary weights you can be both more open and less useful for users. Fun

Americans love guns more than freedom.

If you think that's crazy, think again. Just yesterday was trying to learn more about Chinese medicine and landed on this page I thoroughly read before noticing the disclaimer at the top.

"The articles on this database are automatically generated by our AI system" https://www.digicomply.com/dietary-supplements-database/pana...

Is the information on that page correct? I'm not sure but as soon as I noticed it was AI generated I lost all trust. And that's because they bothered to include the warning.

Why SPAs became popular? Because they "feel" native on mobile. Now you have page transitions and prefetch which really should kill this use case.

IMO the bloat he talks about on the post is not representative of 2024. Pretty much all frontend development of the last 2 years has been moving away from SPAs with smaller builds and faster loading times. Fair enough it's still visible in a lot of sites. But I'd argue it's probably better now than a couple years ago.

I loved It.

Inspired me to build a clone to learn Svelte. I'll try that this week.

Amazon is also taking on tiktok.

The second tab on their app (inspire) is a tiktok inspired social network where creators can highlight products and earn money. I find it pretty fun to scroll for a while.

Why don't you try to write scripts or code to automate your day to day activities as a paralegal? Working on something close to an area of expertise of yours can be a great way to learn and still use your background somehow.

Either create something new or try to use/collaborate something open source. As you get more experience you'll get to learn more about different options such as frontend vs backend.

Once you are done with your second or third personal project I promise you'll have the confidence to apply to an IT job and you'll have a better idea exactly where and doing what.

I do think it would suck but it would be sensible to have electronic limits that cap at something very high such as 90mph.

It's better than nothing and no one should ever go at that speed anyway.

Dead Cells alone costs $30 on Switch. Netflix offers it for free. It's the full game with all available expansions including the recent one that references Castlevania.

The difference is that you get it on Android or iOS.

If you buy a gamepad and are able to output to a decent sized monitor or have a tablet, you have a great gaming experience worth dozens of hours. I think Netflix can really find success expanding into gaming. For now they seem to be working very much Undercover, but they've been adding a ton of content there. I'm sure they're building it up and at some point they'll throw some marketing behind it.

Publications should be responsible for the veracity of the content they publish. Instead they just shift the blame. They are 100% about profits and provide zero advantage, no wonder they are being replaced by free alternatives. But it doesn't solve the problem with fake papers and plagiarism.

I guess it was just part of the Christmas style sheets.

I'll miss it until next Christmas

It's not a bad business it's just a different business. What you are describing already exists and is less valuable than Netflix.

Nebula, brilliant, masterclass, dropout, ...

I do recommend all of these. They provide a stream of high quality YouTube like content.

We're headed to text-to-fullyAnimated3DScene while people are still debating ethics of LLMs text responses. We're not ready for the future that is fast approaching.

This is still not Gemini Ultra. That's the one they said was above state of the art. Still waiting for that one.

I think webassembly actually acts as a reliable target when building software. Every platform will have a fast web assembly runtime. So you just build for it and you can deploy for any platform mobile or desktop.

It's mostly Russian bots talking to Chinese bots. And journalists to use Trump's ramblings on news pieces.

I had the same experience as a contractor for IBM.

Real IBMers got all kinds of stuff. We had to pay full price for the GR meal.

Since my mom had colorectal cancer at 45 I was expected to start colonoscopy at 35 and then every 5 yrs

I did the first only so far and no polips.

There's nothing to be scared. It takes less than an hour and is painless. The worst part is the prep you do at home a day before. It's very powerful stuff. You'll be shitting clear water by the time they do the exam.

I have 2 last names and that is already enough to trick most airlines systems.

Some will throw away one of your names, some will truncate it, some will concat both.

Since these systems talk to other systems my name is often on an unexpected state.

At best this makes accumulating miles really challenging. At worst it got me denied from boarding once.

Airline systems are setup for first name, last name and maybe middle initial. That's how the US works and almost no one else.

The examples they give on how this worked for them in practice are also great to follow.

They're supposed to last 30 years. So maybe it's too early to tell.

"The connection to www.technoblogy.com is not secure You are seeing this warning because this site does not support HTTPS. Learn more"

It's 2023 people. How can you justify no https on a technology blog?

Google photos for photos and videos, I use storage saver which reduces quality but whatever.

Everything else goes into Google drive. I use the Google drive app on Android to scan my physical documents, and I pay for the 200GB plan which is enough for all my stuff.

I've been hoping to write a script to backup stuff into an S3 bucket. I just never have the time.

Not only that but someone once told me to write the following before any email communications:

  "-- ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED --"

They explained to me this allowed us to communicate without fear our discussion can be misquoted and miscategorized in the future.

EDIT: To clarify that was something I needed to add when talking with legal. Not something magic that works for everyone.

So besides being in good standing with a member of their guild you also have to preface your communication with their religious texts. \s

Interesting timing.

Wasn't the license change on terraform supposed to avoid exactly this?

Seems like this is getting uglier and uglier for HashiCorp. Not only it sparked a fork but it didn't keep big cloud from competing on the hosted use case

There was some criticism yesterday about bun being stable using a language (zig) that isn't considered stable. Do you care to comment about it?
