Gosh, programming was never that enjoyable.

I finally freed from typewriting mundane stuff like yet another API endpoint or subscribing to rabbitmq, and can focus of creative work and really building useful things.

If the only thing that bothers you is laptop lid pinching your fingers, then no – it won't do it.

It can be predatory pricing that will bite us later.

ZX's audio and video systems are two things that I never missed.

"Esoteric cypher that no one has seriously tried to break" lol

It's military comms traffic from WW2, encrypted by machine named Enigma. Back in 1940's it was like breaking SSL today, with only difference that they actually could (kinda) break Enigma.

The main gotcha for local models is insane hardware requirements.

Even for $10K you get mediocre performance.

Yeah, space exploration/colonization can be only made by species that live a million years, or can pass the same goal across many generations forward.

Maybe it's the answer to Fermi paradox: aliens are all around, we're just too fast for them to communicate.

How do you _realistically_ get in trouble for using it? Jam 2.4 at an airport or near military base?

Even this highly theoretical harm can be avoided if you jam bluetooth with 50% duty cycle. Like, 2s on then 2s off.

It would be better to ask model to render segmented 3d, with placeholders, like magenta is water, blue is sky, green is grass, purple is Frodo's face, etc, then pass the result through img2img model to properly "render" it.

New comment by stackedinserter in "Sony deletes more movies from the accounts of people who ‘bought’ them"

stackedinserter — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:45:51 +0000

How do people still "buy" any movies after all these stories?

If "buy" means you can watch it on this specific device while logged in with this specific account, for some limited time, then downloading it to your disk is not "theft".

Seriously, my brain, deformed by years of file sharing, can't get it.

That is super cool, man.

Do you have a demo for that 240 elements assembly?
