fairy nuff. Not 64Kb, but 64 kilobytes of RAM, + 20 kilobytes of ROM! Plus, we had a 320x200 display in a glorious 16 colours! Revolutionary sprites, too!! FWIW, my first game, ie all I cared about on a C64 at the time, was the amazing Reve

I've read the criticisms here, but well, as someone whose first computer was a C64, this is cool as hell. Like, what?! On an 8-bit, 64Kb, ~1MHz CPU! Amazing. Sure, there are too many caveats, but this isn't really about making thi

AI can't, as I understand it, have copyright over anything they do. Nor can it be an entity to sign anything. I assume the "not-copyrightable" issue, doesn't in anyway interfere with the rights trying to be protected by

The $250 is just rate limiting at the moment. It isn't a real price; I doubt it is based on cost-recovery or what they think the market can bare. They need users to make them a mature product, and this rate-limits the number of users w

It also isn't against the Californian company. It was Shopify which is not a Californian company. Seems bizarre to me that several lower courts ruled in favor of Shopify though..

FWIW, Trend Micro wrote up a decent piece on this space in 2023. It is still a pretty good lay-of-the-land. https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/news/vulnerabil...

I don't mean to be too flippant, but the way climate change is going, the Australian bushfires mentioned in the article will be a regular occurrence. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to know where the tipping point for "e

It's unusual for it to happen in major indices. I said it happens in individual stock cases, but very few people / places that control major market moving news leak - and when they do they investigate the hell out of it. Imagine i

These sort of trades happy fairly regularly, before market breaking news in individual stock names. Just search for SEC insider trading cases. When they happen in options they are often pretty obvious unless the market is moving with real m

Hammersmith & City + Lizzy Line missing, makes Farringdon look like a backwater rather than London's best connected station.

Yeah, no Lizzy line, for me at least.

Not necessarily, but yes on average. Parmigiano Reggiano is more tightly controlled, and has larger total cheese produced (by a fair bit I think). Very good Grana Padano can be just as good, but there are lots of bulk producers who turn out

I looked in to this recently. Turns out that carbon filters do filter fluoride, but only on the first few X litres of water, where X is in the first 0.01% or so of their expected lifespan. So, they do, but not really usefully in any sense.

Perhaps, sadly, because if the State doesn't have to pick up the costs in health care, as in large parts of the developed world, then they lose their incentive to be proactive in addressing health issues. In countries with some form of

In Erdogan's Turkey, I doubt it. If they did, I could see their accreditation being pulled. Erdogan plays for keeps.

I suspect most people that go this route (ie download and manage their own ebooks, then transfer them to their Kindle) use Calibre, which afaik, is unaffected by this change. https://calibre-ebook.com/
