• Matt Godbolt sold me on Rust (by showing me C++)

  > but will be noticed by literally just running the code once. I assure you that's not the case. Maybe you didn't make that mistake, but if you did I'm sure it sometimes went unnoticed. I've found those issues in my code and in other projects. Sometimes they even don't matter, because someone did a func(CONST, 0) instead of func(0, CONST) but it turns out CONST is 0 - the next person gets a crash because they... - Source: Hacker News / about 18 hours ago

This could significantly reduce the power consumption of LLMs by 95%. My research includes a working demonstration with full code. I'd love to discuss how this approach could benefit Anthropic's efficiency goals. Read the full paper... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Apple Shortcuts is falling into "the automation gap"

  The most useful Shortcut I've written on macOS is a simple 'toggle dark mode'. It's very simple and works as a good 'first task' if you've never used the app before. I wrote up the process here: https://medium.com/@bobbyjack/how-to-toggle-macos-dark-mode-with-a-shortcut-ef804dc6925f?sk=3fe30ee1ed98bfdf715c473bc9225a4d Overall, Shortcuts feels like a nice polished app, but it's definitely severely lacking compared... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Setting up a remote development environment I can access via a website.

  There are few options: Remote desktop via "noVNC". Nothing needs to be installed on the university computer, other than browser Https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server gives you remote VSCODE in the browser I tried both.

  I do all my hobby web development in a sandboxed container that runs openvscodeserver, with the dev server also running in a sandboxed container, and both sit behind an oauth proxy to log me in. Source: over 2 years ago
