I wonder how many gigawatts / terawatts a cable would need to carry before you can fit gunship patrols into the budget.

[2019] Author builds a compiler that _targets_ WebAssembly, not a compiler that _takes in_ WebAssembly. Interesting but I was hoping for the other side, a minimal AOT or JIT wasm --> machine code compiler.

I don't even know what UniFi is so I'm a little lost by the site. "What is UniFi Express? It's a UniFi stack in a box." What the heck, lol? "Wi-Fi at remote sites." It's a 5G hotspot? "Secure WAN

I'm GPU poor. Sick of buying hardware that is not only not fast enough after a year, but not even supported by software that just multiplies and adds numbers in fancy ways. Debian runs like a champ on my 8 year old CPU. When will gpus

tbf I prefer to measure human loss in QALYs in case a disease mostly kills old people. It's impossible to measure perfectly but it's not worse than "A death". We all die in the end.

Aero is named for the glossy Aero Glass design of Vista, so XP was like the precursor, before they had the window compositor that allowed such effects. (As others in the thread pointed out, OS X did it first, it could well be called Aqua ae

Not related to ML/AI or Stable Diffusion. It's about generating 3D blue noise for rendering, it's very interesting on its own but the title is misleading.

That's why a carbon tax (pollution tax, I hate calling pollution carbon) would be better than straight outlawing natural gas fuel. Too bad voters hate prices being anything but uniform and cheap. So much backlash even against demand pr

Priuses manage to get 50 mpg highway without depleting charge or plugging in but I guess the same optimizations can't work on a big diesel as on a little gas engine?

Yeah, going all-in on WinFS, DWM, and .NET is a big risk budget. I remember people theorizing that Vista (and later, some Mono-heavy revision of GNOME) were slow because of using .NET to replace C++ apps, but I don't remember if it was

If it's causation one way, maybe teaching people magic could be a low-risk treatment for mental disorders. If it's causation the other way, we might wonder why more ordered people choose some careers or hobbies over others.

If that were the case, and it was B2B where pricing tiers are more acceptable, would they not simply have a "porno tax"?

Well, it might be harm reduction to let lonely men have AI girlfriends. Sure, I wish reality was not a dystopia that constantly let me down, but all I can do is take anti-depressants, make money, keep voting, and hope things get better the

Yeah I thought that was odd. You could use some random timers to have the AI "check in" on you if you don't talk to it for a while. Is it eerily similar to the gambling gacha games that expect you to play a couple hours a day

No reason she can't participate in chat forums or text games with you, right? Imagine seeing a comment and recognizing her username, and then flirting a little in a public thread.
