To be fair, as an European, I'm now more concerned about the usage of AI that the US will be doing rather than China. And this is a sentiment shared among most European people that I know.

I appreciate my 2011 vehicle that only has a car radio with FM tuner and CDs, and yes, I know that I could easily swap it but I didn't on purpose, let me explain why: - all the controls that I need, that are basically volume, radio sta

Except than later we returned to a sort-of segmented memory. That is of course paging, our programs allocates pages of memory that are a fixed size (4096 bytes) and are arranged in memory or in swap space how the OS decides. We just have th

And a limited VM, for example I look at the documentation and it's not possible to share USB devices with the VM, making it perfectly useless for doing embedded development where you have to connect to the boards with USB. I will conti

It did work quite well. The problem with the filesystem could have been solved by optimizing the Windows kernel, that would have benefit also programs run outside the WSL by the way (NTFS have performance problems and Microsoft knows, and e

The future is clearly that, model inference running on consumer hardware not a network datacenter. We are getting there, local models gets better and better, it's only a matter of time. Of course this would be bad news for big AI compa

No: T&C cannot override the law, that is a national/EU law is still superior to anything that is written in the T&C. If there is a contrast between T&C and the law of course that T&C are just scratch paper.

To me there is a fundamental difference. Even if PC hardware costs slightly more (now because of the RAM situation, Apple producing his chips in house can get better deals of course), it's something that is worth more investing in in.

It's not the job of the operating system to protect children. Social media is bad even for adults, to my point of view why they don't address the source of the problem, banning what Instagram, TikTok, etc. is doing that is bad eve

Nowadays they call AI everything. Browsers translate websites from decades, when AI was only a word you would see in science fiction movies.

Why they are a security feature? They are not, the article even says it. Even if UUID4 are random, nobody guarantees that they are generated with a cryptographically secure random number generator, and in fact most implementations don'

If you put an index on the UUID field (because you have an API where you can retrieve objects with UUID) you have kind of the same problem, at least in Postgres where a primary key index or a secondary index are more or less the same (to th
