I commented on Demosthenes. Wikipedia as a source for a highly heated political matter like this? Talk about stupid things. And keep your moronic assumptions about how I am a nationalist to yourself. They spoke Greek, they worshipped the sa

"Alexander" ("Aleksandros") and "Philip" ("Philippos") are very Greek names though. They are composite words with very clear meanings which any Greek with basic literacy can understand, because they u

Maybe it isn't that bad if the swap file / partition is on an SSD? I actually haven't ran out of RAM since I moved to SSDs, even when I still had 16 GiB. And now there are some ultra fast NVMe drives out there.

I use VS Code because it's a great editor... but it eats a few hundred MiB of RAM and it doesn't start instantly ... On a machine with 32 GiB or RAM, 8 CPU cores and a fast NVMe drive. The main window is a glorified notepad. How

Isn't the whole emulator a circumvention? It circumvents the hardware which "effectively controls access to a work", which is the console itself.

From the perspective of the MWI there is no spooky action. If you measure one of the particles and look at the result, you then know what term of the quantum state you ended up in, so you know the probability distribution of the other parti

There's a new board by Trenz with a Versal chip which can do 440 GFLOPS just with the DSP58 slices (the lowest speed grade) and it costs under 1000 Euros, but you also need to buy a Vivado license currently. Cheaper boards are definite

I just yesterday discovered the new S mode where you can only run apps from their store... You can disable it but you need to sign-in, after having had to work around that already during setup. They really treat the user like an idiot to be

The libraries where I live are seriously a joke anyway, and even if they were not, I doubt they could compete with a website where you can find monographs addressed to like 100 people, in seconds, in your pyjamas.

There are several ways in which something like this could be implemented, but I can't help thinking that one should already know enough stuff to give a good description that they might as well just write the code anyway. In any case, o

A first-class programming language (not an LLM) to talk to the computer's OS along with a rich library is the most important missing component IMO. Humans communicate mainly with language and no OS provides this in a satisfactory way f

Sure, the human mind can employ coping mechanisms and maybe delay things a bit by taking care. I don't see how this makes aging "fine" or "great" though. This is a big leap. It's probably the single biggest sou

Last time I tried to slack around with it a bit after an upgrade it didn't even run on Windows 11, and this had been an issue for many months IIRC. So... Cool utility though.

Life extension is just too big of a deal, and when people revolt it can get really messy. The "rich and powerful" are fully aware of this reality.
