I found this hard to read. At one point in my life I came to an epiphany on this topic. Everybody's life is improbable. Literally everybody, all the time, without any effort. Through the lens of this I saw myself as being the type of p

This doesn't address anything I said in the above comment.

It's amusing to me that: * A belief that AI will keep getting better, presented without evidence, does not yield a lot of skepticism around these parts. * Your comment saying it is wrong to believe AI will keep getting better, also pre

I'm no expert, but the skeptic's opinion I've heard would be to ask: What evidence is there that we're not at or close to a plateau of what LLMs are capable of? How do you know the growth rate from 2023 to present will

This is a fluffy, non-technical article so I googled NTSYNC. It seems like they implement Win32 events, semaphores, mutex and WaitForMultipleObjects. It's curious that they didn't do this as file descriptors that can be epolled. F

Circa 2012 the San Francisco water bill pay was able to send me my password in plaintext when I forgot it. I was scandalized. But the alternative was to not pay the water bill, so I just made extra sure the password was very random and wasn

Apparently the full history is here: https://github.com/DARKFiB3R/OrcaSlicer-bambulab And it doesn't look good. This has me call into question the caliber of developer who made the fork. No sane open source projec

People are saying the LAN mode lacks access to the webcam and possibly some other things. That is what this whole controversy is about. It's re-enabling some cloud features as local only and Bambu is calling it privacy or fraud.

by asveikau 5mo ago
But in this case the users want to use those features locally and are being blocked. Using a resource constraint argument doesn't make sense for it. It seems more likely they want it as a revenue source at some point.

Squashing the git history is not cool.

Those modules are all in tree. The distro chose to build them as modules. You could have built them into the kernel. I don't think that counts. When I hear about manually futzing with "kernel modules for sound card" I think y

You can always ask the Debian project for your money back.

I know that Chrome on Windows tries to lower its privileges to mitigate exploits, and although it's not very popular, the MS Store app platform does try to do full isolation of apps. So actually, per-app separation of users kinda does

I'm actually not kidding when I say that Zuckerberg likes that particular fallacy a lot and I've seen him use it. You're right that it's not at all exclusive to him.

by asveikau 6mo ago
Can't please every human alive, so I might as well not try to do any better. This is a very Zuckerbergian take.
258.
by asveikau 6mo ago
Years ago when following what Zuckerberg did occupied more space in my brain, it struck me that he can "hate leakers" but not look inward and change his behavior in a way that doesn't upset people and make them want to leak.

No, they're saying security work happens in the Windows world but not as much in the open, due to the closed source nature.

I had a chuckle at your comment and felt it was true. But wonder if the commenter is younger. Ted Turner was much more of a household name and public figure in the 20th century. He became less involved in the cable empire by the mid 90s. Yo

Exposure is also a path to more mutual intelligibility, even if the differences persist. You're more likely to understand a dialect that isn't yours if you've heard it before, or even better, heard it often. So while I don&#x

No, the reason that's a news story is because many people were upset about the accident, which killed an entire family of 4 while they took the kids to the zoo on their wedding anniversary. Even by the standards of auto wrecks it was h

I don't know this stuff super well but I imagine it's not necessarily about the lawyers being right or wrong so much as what they can convince people of. The ideal scenario for the patent troll is they can intimidate you into lice

I feel like it should be possible to fulfill these advantages with a minimal, not very complex API. I.e. the grandparent's comment about IPsec implementation details doesn't make the cut, but a hardware accelerated cipher implemen

I think it can help you relax. A lot of meditation involves focus on breathing, can keep your heart rate down, etc., and I think that may be good for general health. But I don't think it should be confounded with medical advice or trea

My favorite example: It also explains why "sherry" wine comes from "Jerez" ... Because it used to be Xerez at the time that most European languages learned the name.

That is how Mexico used to be pronounced in Old Spanish. Kind of like how X is sometimes pronounced "sh" in Portuguese. The name was based on an indigenous name which had the "sh" sound there.
