The problem is cryptpad pretends to solve the problem with its "drive", but it's just a (not very) fancy browser for your documents. I can't make a folder with a cryptpad document in it and also all the reference mater

The US "solved" that particular problem by keeping its army much smaller than it could've been, precisely to free up more healthy 18 year olds for factory jobs. Between the British Empire, the various Chinese governments and

Early war designs also had dangerous flaws that had to be corrected, which slowed down construction of subsequent ships, but made them less likely to spontaneously break apart. Between that and muss less skilled, much less experienced labou

In my experience, LLMs aren't advanced enough for that, they just randomly add sql injections to code that otherwise uses proper prepared statements. We can get interns to stop doing that in one day.

Paint has gotten some surprisingly decent updates in the past few years, same with notepad (tab support etc.), so of course Microsoft had to sabotage themselves before people realized.

Wayback Machine is aware that this could be a problem, which is why they let website owners expunge sites. And what a surprise! So does Bing: https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/bing-content-removal-to... (As do

That depends heavily on the law in question. Germany e.g. almost completely bans white hat activities because hacking is evil, and no amount of common sense has been able to get through lawmakers' thick skulls.

Why would Amazon want you to have it, though? They benefit fantastically from manipulating search results against you.

The condescending tone started with you calling projects "deficient" for not handling problems well they don't want to handle. Yes, a C compiler is good at C things. It's not "deficient" if that C compiler su

One of the reasons why Nvidia managed to get ahead was that they managed to get a new chip out every 6 months without fail, so there was always a new Nvidia card to upgrade to.
