It's been a long time since I've used KDE but I have fond memories of it. When I first started using Linux I was impressed by how integrated and polished it was. A lot of the KDE-branded software was high quality, too (I remember

I had a similar experience recently on the other side of the river, though less extreme I think. Between London Bridge and Greenwich there are a few stretches that are ostensibly "public" but not that easy to access. Some are beh

We would all love to move to a society where we don't have to work for others to survive, but our current system is fundamentally not set up to handle this situation. Capitalism is a useful system for employing scarce resources product

It's basically just another instance of Gell-Mann Amnesia. Ask an LLM to discuss a topic you are an expert on, and you will realise it is full of errors, but ask it to discuss a topic you know nothing about and you will, mysteriously,

Authenticated sessions are supported using client certificates. No inline images is a significant restriction indeed but it also gives you a high degree of confidence that most Gemini pages will be very lightweight. I don't find it tha

This isn't surprising. Public companies tend to be lower risk (and therefore offer lower returns) than PE investments and pension funds want a mix of both. They want the juicy returns of PE deals, but a portfolio invested completely or

Interestingly this already does happen a lot, but usually in more complex and high-value B2B contexts. ISDA Master Agreements, (G)MRAs, GMSLAs, LMA documentation, EFET General Agreements, Incoterms, etc. The fact that it is more common in B

Law is a very large and varied field. I have met other lawyers in the past and thought to myself, it's crazy that people would consider us to have the same job. In terms of the kind of work involved, the expected output, the training

Since it seems AI is pretty good at reverse-engineering stuff like this, is there any educational material on how to use it for that purpose? Seems like it could really help port things like postmarketOS to new devices (and improve support

I don't think they will ever stop screwing around in this field because lawyers are expensive, which means the potential gains from switching to AI are high. However, people seem to think the AI companies will be offering legal advice

I wonder if you tend to see more artists selling their back catalogues at times like this when some technological disruption is casting doubt on their ability to continue to generate income from them. David Bowie was famously one of the fir

I presume this is because of the EU institutions there and that expenditure to maintain those institutions counts towards receipts (and this effect is then exaggerated due to Luxembourg's small population). Certainly no one in the EU i

I think cost is one factor. I have a Vivoactive 4 and I love it but it has a reported battery life of 8 days and I get maybe half that with regular run tracking. I'm guessing the 24 days/1-2 weeks is for a considerably more expens

Totally agree, my point was that I didn't get the impression that the article was LLM-generated, for that reason. The commenter I was replying to seemed to think the article was obviously LLM-generated, so LLM-aided translation was one

To me it reads like it was written by a non-native English speaker, in a way that most AI slop doesn't. Maybe an LLM was used to translate?
