gerad··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
As an American, my perspective is that Dutch people speak better English than a large percentage of English people and Americans.
gerad··on Gold fever, cold, and the true adventures of Jack London in the wild
honestly anything outside the gravity well. it's expensive to get materials from earth to space.
gerad··on Roam 50GB is now Roam 100GB
lol. It’s called Gemini.
gerad··on Dude, where's my supersonic jet?
For most of my trips, a huge % of the travel time is outside the actual flight time. Trip to the airport, security, boarding, waiting to take off, and reverse on the other side (with addition of potentially getting a rental car). This can be solved without supersonic solutions (e.g. flying private), but adoption is low for business travel – is it too expensive?

Separately, I wonder if a lot of the demand is also obviated by in-air wifi.

gerad··on AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect
gerad··on Writing code is easy, reading it isn't
When you're debugging issues, read the code for the libraries you're using before going to their documentation. It's a great way to get exposed to other people's code.
gerad··on SQL needed structure
couldn't you do a union all instead of outer join on false?

gerad··on Electric bikes might just be the healthiest thing to ever happen to teenagers
Here in Marin it’s not allowed to use an e-bike or scooter with a throttle if you’re under 16. Nicely catches all the edge cases.

gerad··on US safety regulators contact Tesla over erratic robotaxis
Will robotaxis be a commodity by the time Tesla ships a viable product?
gerad··on The ‘white-collar bloodbath’ is all part of the AI hype machine
They don't have the experience to tell bad AI responses from good ones.
gerad··on Human coders are still better than LLMs
It's like chess. Humans are better for now, they won't be forever, but humans plus software is going to better than either alone for a long time.
gerad··on Haskelling My Python
Isn’t the original python without the recursion lazy as well? I that was the entire point of generators.
gerad··on Why is OpenAI buying Windsurf?
After watching a sales person and a PM vibe code I’ll say that existing developers are not the initial for vibe coding. Vibe coding absolutely allows non-devs to achieve more than they previously could.
gerad··on A star appears to have collapsed straight into a black hole without supernova (2017)
No it’s relative. ;)
gerad··on James Webb Space Telescope reveals that most galaxies rotate clockwise
Dark matter / regular matter
