I'm going to guess this could be a bias from speaking English. In romance languages, for example, you would often use an article rather than a possessive pronoun for this type of construct.

I actually meant it as a continuum. In classical latin, ille and unus exist, but they are not articles. In the vulgar latin period circa 800ad, they are pretty close to articles. In modern romance they're articles. You can't say &

The further back you go in Indo-European languages, they don't have articles. It's a relatively recent innovation. So for example latin didn't have them. Eventually they evolved from ille and unus. Much of Eastern Europe stil

> Your voice stays intact, but your work is faster, better, and less painful. This sentence specifically seems like an LLM. It's hard to quantify that. They just take that sort of tone when they're needlessly summarizing what

Just think of how the people of Xalapa, Mexico feel. They should send them a royalty check.

I don't think having credentials stored on the device is all that fatal. The device has to read them back, after all. What they did, however, is much worse: the credentials come from the MAC address . So they're literally broa

In an ideal world they'd have people whose job it is to monitor upstream activity in the components used in the firmware and maintain this. Sounds like they did not have that.

I would recommend reading "The Nerd Reich" by Gil Duran for context on this question.

tldr from my skim, the two worst things: * Probably vulnerable to CVEs that were patched in 2018 and 2021. * Generates API key to phone home based only on its own MAC address.

Some of what you've quoted highlights my own belief on some of this: Autism is also multiple things. That may provide some insight about how there is not a "single `autism gene'" and how they hedged a bunch of these stat

I don't read comic books or graphic novels but it would not shock me if those are unusable on these little devices.

It may not just be about IP but also code quality. As an example, TFA calls the user mode portion "slop" in need of cleanup.

I got an X3 a couple of weeks ago, they are dirt cheap and the form factor is amazing. It's so easy to leave it in the pocket and just pull it out when you have an idle moment somewhere out in public. I wasn't certain how comforta

To be clear I agree that another reason is pretty likely. I'm just phrasing it neutrally since I don't know.. Above all I'm saying it's weird. I'm used to thinking of twitter and all the others in the same category

I won't dispute that 2015-2017 was a turning point in many areas, but "cause of the political polarization" is a huge stretch. Political polarization has been going up for most of my life. You could perhaps put a start of it

It's common to use int3 for some of the scenarios mentioned in the article. (Like non-reachable code) This instruction is often used to trigger a break in the debugger.

I notice the browser version is a little resource intensive. I use it on freebsd and I need to renice the browser to -10 for it to be somewhat stable. (This is an improvement because I remember 6 years ago it didn't work on freebsd.) I

This readme, when it talks about all the different AI endpoints it can use, reminds me of something. I'm not an AI bro, but I've dabbled. It's kind of remarkable that all the different providers speak the same "openai co

I think you need to recalibrate in your own mind what using a product means. It doesn't mean you like it, or the company behind it. It may also be due to monopoly status. Do you like your utility company? Your phone company? Your ISP?

Yes, the fact that they renamed from Facebook helps them buy some time before people figure it out. But they don't feel good about the company.
