Value, no. They're electronics. The value crashes with each new model, because it's not worth buying older when newer is the same price. And because they're ludicrously expensive, the actual amount of value lost is massive. Y

Others solved it 20 years ago. Apple still hasn't. Fanboys.

How did you measure your learning?

by a96 5mo ago
Then you didn't learn to code. Maybe you learned to prompt at most.
215.
by a96 5mo ago
No, and if you aren't going through mental effort, your brain isn't learning. It's just being briefly entertained by the information. You need practice and association building to actually build knowledge and skill.

I think this will be an advantage in near future. There's going to be a lot of burnout and general failure and, if the news are to be believed, even a loss of human ability around and real skills might come in useful. There will also b

No. Shenanigans in a neverheard js project isn't going to be in any history outside of their own niche.

Yes. For essentially any problem where a complete solution exists that doesn't use an LLM, it will beat any solution that does in size, speed, energy use, reliability and everything else. Naturally, it's actually complicated. But

In a general case, your own government can literally have a gun to your head if they happen to decide they don't like you. A foreign one needs some extra steps. And governments change. Any one might look benign now, but one election aw

A shell script will thwart that, but it will drive away a lot of civilized people.

There is still no good way to send or receive such payments that works globally. Let alone one that doesn't mean leaking personal information. This will deter a lot of good users, but not many bad actors, as others have pointed out.

The kind of place that will make and send letters by the thousand will probably have a better deal on postage.

Oh, wow, there's a new LyX release! It's been almost 30 years since I used it and it's still going.

Yep. For a user on many other ports, it was particularly interesting to see stories of the sgi and m88k ports etc. I hope there will be more.

You can take many computers from 1999 and update them to the best software available today. Most phones won't even do that for a few years. And that is security in the real sense of the word, as in "this won't just pull the r

Plenty of people indeed do have good "luck" and repair these, apparently even putting in better parts.

Bazzite is great, though. And doesn't lock you in to Steam or DRM if you don't use them.

by a96 5mo ago
Steam is also cross-platform. But sadly still essentially all-DRM.

Very neat. I've never seen the Debian installer using iscsi. No other installer either for that matter. Looks like ZFS is only used to store the image on the server, though. I was expecting this to be more interesting because of that.
237.
by a96 5mo ago
I kind of expect the performance is worse, but one neat thing is that iscsi is a block device, so you could run e.g. disk crypto, volume management or whatever on it. Not to mention any FS. And you don't need to deal with NFS or RPC.

Enshittification of the AI clouds will also pick up speed. Tokens will get more costly, terms and tiers will turn worse etc. And there will be more security incidents on all fronts.
