Because it's good clickbait-generating content. Much like their picture of Mickey promoting a McDonald's.

In that case you're basically offering a browser-based client. 'Locally' strongly suggests this is running entirely on the machine (vs. making API calls). Going to break a lot of hearts out there with the wording as it is.

Kind of a gross misuse of the term, isn't it?

The fun part is when a LLM hits that small probabiliy where they decide to go 'offscript'. It can result in a beautifully terrifying cascade of grammatically acceptable nonsense, and joe fun it would be in a legal document. We go

To be fair, a lot of modern games over simplify controls for a large variety of gameplay elements. I think its an expectations thing. The closest games I played that share Outer Wilds control complexity are the original Lunar Lander, Solar

It's very much a unique and artistically sound game, but geeze that aesthetic really wore on me to the point of physical fatigue. I suspect it was in part because of the crisp screen I played on (heavy contrast of light and dark). It w

Don't forget this is how Google started. It was originally a plain search page by design; minimally invasive ads didn't even come until later. Given that it is estimated that 'AI' chat costs about 10X to run per query vs

And it's not a great protection system at all. Just like how content generators are gaming Google search, there is a problem now with bots that find what is popular and repost it later (with a wording change) for karma farming.

Steam does not enforce digital rights management unless the distributer wants it. Many games that can be executed from their own directories without Steam even active agree with this. Steam is first and foremost a software distribution plat

Anecdotally, after working on a cloud based solution that has seen some success in adoption, it seems there's just a general pressure on businesses to have a "cloud solution". Whether that is from top down management or &#x27

I think it's fair to look at what you need to make it happen. Do you invest in the folks you have, paying for their training on your cloud of choice? (I personally have found even baseline training for a cloud essential to understand e

I really hope folks posting links to random Git hosted projects would start to provide context on what exactly said tool is meant to accomplish. I've lost count of the links I've seen like this, where most of the context is missin

And this is precisely what frustrates me about Macs and their focus on Retina displays: historically horrific support for the world of external monitors. It does not even shock me when Apple rolls out a laptop that only officially supports

Fascinating. This is rather insightful; it never dawned on me how bad Windows could be with non-Latin characters. Given it's Western-centric history it makes sense, but it does strike me as out of touch (literally) with the rest of the

Strange, I've had just the opposite experience. If anything, at least for my vision, the 'fuzziness' of Mac font rendering becomes even more pronounced and harder on my eyes on larger screens. I always assumed it was just opt

Actually, the comment was a thought exercise in advertisement and promotion. No need to shoot the messenger here. I too was rather confused as to WTH was being recommended.

Pretty sure some Linux distros also offer forms of sub pixel rendering akin to ClearType. What do you find dubious about pixel boundary alignment? As a side note, please note Macs don't even offer a means of turning off aliasing anymor

Because thermal energy doesn't necessarily move the way air does. Very much like a closed loop water cooler for a PC: the water in the loop is the same, but the heat is gathered up and dispersed once it gets to a place it can be emitte

Can you clarify? I'm not sure this addresses the parent poster's concerns. To add, I'm wondering about the susceptibility of such a system to the use of things like compressed air. High-velocity particulate + tiny spaces = po

Neat concept, but this opens up a can of worms for corporate security. Pretty sure I won't get approval to submit proprietary code to a third party service just because I was too lazy to write a few lines of text. Might be helpful to o

Yes! Never underestimate the role of distractions, especially in this day and age. Social media, news sites with a steady flow of 'new' information, 10-15 second videos you can endlessly scroll thru, etc. All of that can be fun, b

It's a missed opportunity to awkwardly add a ThinkPad TrackPoint 'mouse nub'. My disappointment is immeasurable.

I'm not sure if the author is aware that they can bring their own key material if they wish to KMS. The cost model is a little different, but you retain complete control of their life cycle across time and regions. It would seem to sol

Basically take everything lost by Meta/Facebook directly attributed to ATT and you'll get a very clear picture on what they can very easily get back with their own ecosystem.

That's only the immediate goal. It would be bad for them to eat up the percentage of the market lost by their competition right away; that would get some unwanted attention regarding monopolistic behavior. They clearly want a slice of
