I'm surprised that the idea for the Trump Phone was even conceived. I had thought that the drug king-pin Pablo Escobar pretty much owned the market for gold smartphones, and thus tainted it for anyone else.

This is a classic case of: if the situation is not in the training data then the model is unequipped to handle it. We've seen the phenomenon before. We've been warned against the phenomenon before, and we'll see it again in o

Actual researchers in neuroscience do not agree that what artificial neural networks are doing is "learning", no. When biological beings learn, the process is more complicated.

What a naive and simplistic view. People want to be recognised for their contributions to society. People want to be treated fairly. Most scientific articles, as well as all text on the free web is already free information. It used to be

What makes you say that? Which governments? What society? The current US government is not representative for governments out there in the world, you know.

As a Amiga and then Linux and Windows 95 user I remember being flabbergasted over a Mac in 1997 being completely unusable while it was formatting a floppy.

To me, everything about this seems AI-generated. What else but a LLM could have come up with these features and the name?

He passed from metastasised colon cancer, apparently. That is the most common cancer and too often gets undiscovered before it has spread to other organs. I recommend everyone from age 45 to get a colonoscopy every ten years to nip any poly

I sometimes watch "Ben Heck Hacks" live-streams rebuilding game controllers for people with disabilities [1]. People like him are what these files are for. 1: https://www.youtube.com/@BenHeckHacks/streams

I've had quite a few constructive hobbies. I have built from metal and sold some parts, sculpt in clay or plastic and cast, and sold casts. The point was not to sell them, but the community around the hobby. I usually asked for only a

I think Nokia's original Micro USB socket design had only two through-hole pins, which was not sturdy enough. A standard USB-C socket has four: one in each corner like some later Micro USB sockets. There even exists USB-C sockets with

The range is 1..4096, so 4096 bits = 512 byte bitmap would suffice. That is, if you're only ever going to test for membership in the set. If you need metadata then ... You could store that in a packed array and use a population count

I sometimes use a trackball — without a "scroll wheel". So in Google Maps on the web, I'd have to click the + and - buttons on the screen repeatedly to zoom in and out. But those buttons don't always stay put. There is a

Fitt's Law does not just apply to screens but also to input devices. That is why the keys on the outskirts of a keyboard are larger than other keys. ... except for the anorectic vertical Return keys on Apple keyboards with any European

I've never had a Filco, but I remember it was significant in the early start of the keyboard hobby. Many mods had been tried on the Filco Majestouch first. The first custom key sets had been made for Filco's Majestouch layouts fir

If you're making a hex editor and going to have colour coding, I'd think you expend some effort to make the colouring schemes configurable — and easy to configure and change. Maybe load and save as separate files. Different colo

One should not trivialise depression. It is a lot different than just a feeling. I've suffered from and been successfully treated for depression. I would describe it more as an addiction to feeling low than anything. I suspect that i

Second-hand smoke does affect people around you. It is how people get addicted to nicotine. It is how new smokers are created. And there are some people who are more sensitive to temporary exposure to smoke (and pollution in general) than

I don't think that is AI slop. adrian_b often post long posts because he thinks he has a lot to say, but you can often tell that they contain his personal views and points that he thinks are important related to the discussions whereas

There are algorithms to align allocations and use metadata in unused pointer bits to encode object start addresses. That would allow Fil-C's shadow memory to be reduced to a tag bit per 8-byte word (like 32-bit CHERI), at the expense o
