notimetorelax··on Submarine cable resilience
There’s only one atmosphere of pressure from inside to outside. Under the sea the direction is reversed and pressure is much higher.
notimetorelax··on NYC's "Click to Cancel" rule is now in effect
I think the point of the law is - the same medium. If you signed up online, you should be able to cancel subscription also online.
notimetorelax··on A 32-year-old bug walks into a Telnet server
I really dislike articles that blow out of proportion the technical details. TLDR; bounds checking was missing leading to potential memory corruption.
notimetorelax··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
I guess they missed the rules of physics in their evaluation.
notimetorelax··on A Screensaver for LG's Spying Smart TVs
Having watched the GamersNexus video, some tracking is done with DNS resolution requests to unique domains.
notimetorelax··on Building and shipping Mac and iOS apps without opening Xcode
Can LLM do this too? If yes, then it’s annoying but is not a blocker.
notimetorelax··on Switzerland wil have a referendum to cap population at 10M
As a voting member of the population all I can say is - good luck winning it… We have silly initiatives once in a while, that’s because you don’t need that much to start one.
notimetorelax··on Amazon accused of widespread scheme to inflate prices across the economy
It prevents other sellers from competing with Amazon.
notimetorelax··on The C3 Programming Language
Having worked with rust in the past couple years, I can say that it hands down much better fit for LLMs than Python thanks to its explicitness and type information. This provides a lot of context for LLM to incrementally grow the codebase. You still have to watch it, of course. But the experience is very pleasant.
notimetorelax··on AI is forcing us to write good code
You’re right. What I like doing in those cases is to review very closely the tests and the assertions. Frequently it’s even faster than looking at the SUT itself.
notimetorelax··on Microsoft AI
I kinda want that what you’re describing… Sort’of the promise that Apple made with their AI and didn’t deliver. It would be amazing to have chat bot with full contextual awareness.
notimetorelax··on The writing is on the wall for handwriting recognition
I feel that we’re reaching a limit to our context switching. Any further process improvements or optimizations will be bottlenecked on humans. And I don’t think AI will help here as jobs will account for that and we’ll have to do context switching on even broader and more complex scopes.
notimetorelax··on Drilling down on Uncle Sam's proposed TP-Link ban
It’s fairly trivial to write a law that makes those illegal.
notimetorelax··on Windows 10 Deadline Boosts Mac Sales
Don’t Apple and Google require their respective accounts for their platforms and hardware? How is this different?
notimetorelax··on Study: MRI contrast agent causes harmful metal buildup in some patients
Maybe, but I was taking an immense amount of vitamin C as prescribed by the doc to bootstrap the healing process.

So this reveals to me two issues

1. In general side effects of the contrast agent are not communicated properly. If I knew, I might have asked - hey can you do the analysis without the agent?

2. There’s no recommendation to avoid vitamin C prior and right after the MRI, heightening the risk.

notimetorelax··on Study: MRI contrast agent causes harmful metal buildup in some patients
Nah, they used it on me when I cracked a toe. If I knew that this may be that dangerous I’d go the way without the contrast agent.
notimetorelax··on $19B Wiped Out in Crypto's Biggest Liquidation
What’s the mechanism through which they print money? I.e. if everyone decided to redeem all coins that have dollar to give.
notimetorelax··on Novel hollow-core optical fiber transmits data faster with record low loss
I generally agree with you, but! Video or audio calls between EU and the US still have a much higher chance of speaking up at the same time and it’s due to lag. If the latency is decreased by 33% it might be a game changer.
notimetorelax··on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
Is anyone working on mirroring the images and keeping them updated?
notimetorelax··on Windsurf employee #2: I was given a payout of only 1% what my shares where worth
Young engineers who don’t know how this works yet.
notimetorelax··on Scientists may have found a way to eliminate chromosome linked to Down syndrome
Older women may not produce that many eggs, if any at all. And each harvest costs multiple thousands, so it’s not all that clear cut.
notimetorelax··on DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app
Well, the sad part is that they keep trying until something sticks.
notimetorelax··on The time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs
No, not in this case. 250k is an expense for the company. Company had to amortize this expense over 5 or 15 years. (15 for software engineers outside of the US)
notimetorelax··on US vs. Google amicus curiae brief of Y Combinator in support of plaintiffs [pdf]
I think that you’re supporting the argument that you’re replying to.
notimetorelax··on Matt Godbolt sold me on Rust by showing me C++
Those mega corps that you talk about use C++ too. It’s just a false dichotomy argument you’re making.
notimetorelax··on U.S. autism data project sparks uproar over ethics, privacy and intent
I didn’t know who that was, so googled. Apparently, Musk said that.
notimetorelax··on Show HN: I made a free tool that analyzes SEC filings and posts detailed reports
Looks great! For a long time I wished there was a historical analysis that would show quality of the management. Meaning, what initiatives did the management bet on in the past years and how well did it pan out? If a bet failed, was the management honest about it?
notimetorelax··on Solid (formerly Wise) files for bankruptcy
Frankly “former Wise” confuses more than it provides context. I’d remove it from the title.
notimetorelax··on Apache ECharts
Thanks for sharing, evidence looks very interesting. Reading the docs, do I understand it right that I need to publish parquet files so that WASM DuckDB could query them. I’m a bit concerned users wholesale downloading all the data.
notimetorelax··on Gemini 2.5 Pro reasons about task feasibility
You can use Gemini from VScode. (Well at least copilot can call it)
