Erm, no. No government can freeze your bitcoins. It's not money. You might find it ever increasingly difficult to change bitcoins to real money if a country -- or multiple -- is against it. No such thing happens currently but there are

You can not do that. It is literally impossible to make a perfect physical copy. You can make a perfect copy of a file, however.

No, lossless compression uses an algorithm to shrink a file without any loss. It can be restored to the same bitstream. What you quoted is a confusing phrase: "visually lossless" which is in fact a lossy compression. It's lik

Lossless compression shouldn't matter. That's why it's called lossless.

As another example, NAND is manufactured on 40nm and for the foreseeable future it'll be. https://thememoryguy.com/why-3d-nand-is-stuck-at-40nm/

So in exchange for a little speed we are stuck with one of the most user hostile tools out there. That's not the deal I would have wanted to make. The interface is atrocious as some switches change completely what the command does -- t

git won because of empty hype, bzr was far superior in basically every aspect. Much easier to program with either for plugins or to be embedded, much saner "hide your development commits" model with log levels, much saner command

Why R2 instead of Backblaze B2? Isn't R2 more than double the price of B2?

It is. To quote my comment from back then: And all of that is fine when communicated properly. Even if OP is an unreliably narrator are we to believe they also left out some of CF's emails? To me it looks like https://substa

Hrm. Downvotes? Fine, let's discuss then the connection between Orban's government and he himself and pedophiles. Gábor Kaleta was an ambassador to Peru. He was recalled after they found him possessing 19 000 CSAM photographs. He

Welcome to 2024 when JavaScript is indeed everywhere. It's not hostility. It's reality. Aside from two people here and Stallman, absolutely no one cares about disabling JS any more.

Have you tried Kagi?

You should be. I am facepalming at the topic and every single comment in here. It's so full of holes, the Swiss dairy industry went out of business.

I have two PackedPixels and when I was still running around with a 14" laptop , it was great to have a little extra screen real estate without needing a backpack large enough to house a 16" laptop. Which is what I use now. With mu

Yeah, this can't be done in the geometrical way Euclid worked Mostly because you need the Archimedean property for it which can not be derived from Euclid's axioms.

Throwing all the paintings made prior 1937 into an LLM would never get Guernica out of it. As long as it's an LLM this stands, not just today but all the way to the future. This empty sophistry of presuming automated bullshit generator
