In fairness, this take long predates social media. But you're right that it's exactly the sort of midwit take that gets repeated, whether on social media or by word of mouth.

This is a great demonstration of why Wordle’s Hard Mode is actually easier.

Is there a statement somewhere from Google saying the ToS was violated? I hadn't seen that and can't find one right now.

Hacker News? More like MBA news.

I'm not just being snarky — I don't think it's reasonable to say the profit-maximizing service-oriented Apple is the best possible version of itself without losing its values of personal computing and individual empowerment.

Yesterday I was required to turn on IPv6 on my router, while setting up some IoT things using Matter over Thread. Apparently that protocol uses IPv6 and doesn't work if your router is only routing IPv4.

> The thing that makes hashcards unique: it doesn’t use a database. […] Your performance and review history is stored in an SQLite database in the same directory as the cards.

Man I was really looking forward to seeing how they stored review history in plain text.

Where I'm from there's no concept of using public space to store your personal belongings without paying for it.

Yes, this is why language hype has largely died down among all but the truly myopic.

You end up standing in line with a bunch of delivery drivers who all know the drill and are on the clock, and you quickly learn you cannot be polite if you want to get your food.

What ElevenLabs and OpenAI call “speech to speech” are completely different.

ElevenLabs’ takes as input audio of speech and maps it to a new speech audio that sounds like a different speaker said it, but with the exact same intonation.

OpenAI’s is an end-to-end multimodal conversational model that listens to a user speaking and responds in audio.

This entire deep dive is great. I feel compelled to call out this heroism:

> 1st Lieutenant de Wispelaere had prepared the bridge for demolition ... De Wispelaere immediately pushed the electrical ignition, but there was no explosion... Wispelaere now left his shelter and worked the manual ignition device. Trying to get back to his bunker, he was hit by a burst from a German machine gun and fell to the ground, mortally wounded. At the same time, the explosive charge went off.

They want to be able to write logic to operate on the DOM elements rather than on Jinja2/Twig/etc template tags.

The end of this road is React's Server Side Rendering and Next.js.

This approach only really has one major benefit over string-based templating, namely, it lets you re-use code across server and client side DOM logic.
