Maybe Debian maintainers consider it their role to do this, but that's absolutely not true in other distributions (e.g., one reason I use Arch is to avoid such tinkering). Down this road lies problems with incompatibilities and new bug

Your writeup is IMO much better than the way this is being reported. FWIW, I remember reading something similar years ago (I'm not certain it was your specific post, but it might have been). It's strange to see this being describe

I was curious about this angle too. I would have thought that OpenAI had already trained off of SO data. Does anybody know if this is the case? If they did, then they broke (or, I guess charitably, dodged the question of) copyright law in t

I think conventional wisdom is "zone 2 for fitness / endurance, zone 3+ for performance." The interesting thing about this meta-analysis is it's discussing "baseline cardiorespiratory fitness" which - as I unde

And of course, the conservative Supreme Court is likely to strip the FTC of its power and render many of its decisions invalid, giving conservatives the last laugh on this and many other issues.

I wonder if that assertion is based on new car sales. For example, I wouldn't buy a new car without android auto, because cars with it are readily available and hardly cost anything extra. But if I had say $6k to spend on a used ca

Ham radio! I got into it through wanting some cheap radios to keep in my house, so I wouldn't have to go all the way upstairs when I needed to communicate with my daughter. Well let me tell you Baofeng radios are extremely cheap but re

This is a powerful story. I nearly died drowning, too. I was probably in my late 20s, on an island in the Outer Banks of NC. The area was (and is) prone to severe riptides - a current formation that surprises swimmers by pulling them out to

On HN it has been fascinating to watch the rise of "line go up" financial vehicles. It seems that the appetite for such things as NFTs, shitcoins, meme stocks, etc is nearly insatiable. This article nails down some things about

A good bit of the required education for MDs is tangential to providing care. It may not even be a question of "lowering the bar" per se, but of streamlining the curriculum. That said, you can accomplish a lot by leaving MD educat

Bubblewrap is really a great sandboxing tool and I'm glad to see efforts to make it more "user friendly." One key thing to understand is that although it is used by Flatpak, you don't need to use Flatpak to use bubblew

Similar to cryptocurrency in this respect. People would often tout nebulous benefits for hypothetical legitimate use cases, when in reality they were only ever really good at ponzi schemes and conducting illicit transactions.
