Starlink satellites are intentionally designed to be very dark, but they become more visible when the sun is about to come up or if there are super bright light sources on the ground nearby to reflect off of them.
One cool thing about Starlink is that it can potentially improve latency across the world. In optical fibers the light travels only two thirds as fast due to the index of refraction. But in space you can use a laser to send the data in a straight line in a vacuum.
How come all the open source projects are fretting over the copyright status of LLM code but big companies are just vibe coding slop all day for their internal closed source projects without a care in the world?
> If not inlined, subresources can fail to load for all kinds of network reasons.
Also, it's commonly recommended to load fonts asynchronously/deferred without blocking the main page render. But I HATE it when the page jumps around as it cycles through different fonts before the real one loads. I'd rather get dinged on PageSpeed insights with "Requests are blocking the page's initial render, which may delay LCP. Deferring or inlining can move these network requests out of the critical path." rather than have everything popping about for the first second. Is it just me?
You can also run Qwen 3.6 27B dense model on DGX Spark with comparable performance [1][2] for about $4000 (Asus Ascent GX10 is $3999 at various retailers).
In theory you can also get 48GB of VRAM with, say, two 3090s, but it will take up a lot of space and generate a lot of heat compared to the Macbook Pro and GB10.
I thought this had something to do with the DGX Spark at first from the name haha. (Incidentally, a lot of recent work has gone into making the DGX Spark better at inference, like MTP yielded a 50-100% speedup, so DSpark will likely be very helpful to that end as well)
The Pinephone comes with ridiculously weak compute. The Jolla Phone has a Mediatek Dimensity 7100 comparable to $300 phones like the Honor 600 Lite [1]. Of course, with the $750 price tag you're getting an unlocked bootloader/Linux support and the labor of Finnish people.
What's edge masking and what am I looking at? I clicked through several of the options and I don't see any difference. There just seems to be a really basic gradient shadow.
I have gpu enabled in google chrome (verified by visiting chrome://gpu) on Chrome/149.0.7827.155 on Linux.
Pretty neat that you can just install it and start using it (at a Sonnet 4.6-level model) without needing to sign in or pay.
Typically, Chinese websites are a big pain to log in or sign up because they require a +86 phone number due to legal reasons. Being able to use it without having to make an account is amazing for friction reduction. I could probably even just install it onto new machines to help with set up.
I wonder how they are gonna detect and block abuse though?
Mildly annoying how almost everything strips out EXIF data nowadays, in part due to security concerns like this, and then I can't find out what camera, lens, and settings were used to take photos.
A lot of prompt engineering goes out of date quickly. Nobody nowadays goes "you are an expert software engineer. make no mistakes" lol.
As a personal anecdote, I find that a lot of big prompts and skills use up context window budget and in many cases agents will eagerly try to use a skill even if it isn't super relevant or necessary for the current task. So when I have too many skills I have to spend a bunch of time toggling the checkboxes to figure out which ones are needed for the task at hand before starting...
Nice. In the US, it cost us $35k to install 7.6 kW panels + 13 kWh battery. But our PG&E electricity prices in the Bay Area are also several times more expensive than in Europe ($0.50 per kWh) so it will also pay off in 8-10 years.
