Even the famously brought up cases of solo projects often end up hiring help once they become popular. Stardew Valley and Dwarf Fortress come to mind. I think for the later stages it's common to contract someone for other platforms, es

I saw this with screenshots already for like 10-15 years now? It's some overly conservative policy to comply with fair use. I recall a page outlining that you should basically pick the minimum possible resolution that still allows you

It's not the ability that's missing; it's those days.

Generally the same point about having a common vocabulary in tech work. Sometimes it's about stuff that's obvious to both parties in one way or another - but the name is what ties it together (heh).

This is all nice for as long there are just _some_ unjust laws, but the means of such enforcement will inevitably be exploited by actually evil people, who given such tool will get you many, many more unjust laws not worth upholding.

Ahh, AI. All ratchet and clank.

Yes, that's why I think responsible people should truthfully disclose.

Definitely AI generated. But the project is interesting, because that space felt a bit dry to me. netboot.xyz and iventoy are cool, but for most basic use cases I always felt these things could be yet further simplified. So I guess I'l

Something that I'm missing from both the article and the comments - I would remap the sleep button to F4 at OS level. Repeat analogous steps for other keys. Granted, you'll lose these functions, and likely switching to another key

No doubt they can, maybe they should. My point is that I'm more impressed with the results than many other companies that I know.

This doesn't disagree with the poster above: they're saying that taking liability is a sign of belief in AGI. You're saying that lack of liability doesn't mean there's no AGI. Logically these two are not exclusive.

I am not well versed in Android or iPhone software development, but yes, I don't believe that making a non-bloated mobile app is pushing the frontier of software engineering. There could be some arguments made somewhere as to where R&a

R&D spend? In messaging product? Sorry, but these companies spend much more effort on making sure their product is walled off and incompatible with everything than giving it any actual quality.

The company is very small, and they're doing a lot with what they have. Steam alone is full of arcane features that I keep discovering. There's a lot of backend stuff. They're making games and hardware. Perhaps some of this i

Who said anything about insecurity? "I like this thing" (which I don't need) is also an emotion.

It seems to me you assumed that the poster that replied to you meant encrypting in parallel, while it seems pretty clear to me what they meant was c = E1(E2(p, k2), k1).

I guess from my perspective there are even more dire problems in the US that I'm surprised people accept. But it seems they don't know, or care, or know that they should care. Perhaps it's the lack of proper authoritarian reg

AND being able to further reprogram the device to gain control of the PC. This is negligence of the highest kind.

Feature A exists for years. New feature B enters. If you want to opt out of feature B, you now need to opt out of feature A as well, which you probably liked much more. I don't know a better term than blackmail to describe this. Thesau

Except swap is, like, opposite of RAM disk. That said, still an nice and fun concept. Though caching got better since I assume :)

It's _badly intentioned_ (and not just UI). Blackmailing you with losing labelling, which worked fine before all that is a clear proof. So "malware" is not really so far off the point.

It's not only a question of _ethical_ education; the magical claims should also be refuted on rational grounds. Seems that's difficult, too.

Even in healthcare alone, I would question whether the impact was net positive. You have to balance the "access to information" with how people need to deal with false information, health charlatans, ads shoving then supplements t

I'm sure a lot of the crowd that's using Windows as more than a browser OS would also find things to complain about. There's a ton of differences in how to do things at OS level, having to find other software, from time to ti

To be precise, I meant the open source as a whole, as this is what the parent poster mentioned. I don't know about Tridge, I would review the changes first to see what happened there. For rsync in general, I would say that the importan

I don't think using AI as such is the core problem here. It's the type of use. Vibe coding, brain off coding and blind trust are the issue, and an issue everywhere, just enterprises were never really about quality in the first pla

How so? Do you have rights to your data in secure enclaves?

GPU RAM, clearly. At least that's where my mind went.

>Anyway, just find it strange to be so militantly anti a certain tech. You know, that's fair. I'm much more against super-rich investing hundreds of billions in the things they don't understand, creating massive disruption
