This would've been blackmail 20 years ago.... nowadays it's just "of course you know, I shared my OF likes publicly", will not even raise an eyebrow; or perhaps I'm living in too bohemian society circles

Am I the only one that is not worried at all about the camera and super concerned about microphones ? The camera may see me staring into the screen, woo hoo. The microphones will hear everything I discuss, incl. confidential information. Th

Anti-competitive behavior is absolutely fine though when not illegal. I don´t see how vscode could be constructed as having a monopoly when cursor freely forked it.

LLMs can't reason, or can't reason logically to be precise; what they are really good at is recalling. So if you want accurate results on writing code you need to put all the docs into the input and THEN ask for your question. So

I agree that repairing is vastly preferable - I grew up in a poor communist country, where repairing and self-resourcesfullness was the norm. However it's not the consumerist mentality driven by increased buying power - it's sheer

This is such a weird thing, paying to see scenery when riding your stationary bike and then post on the social network, when you can just go out with friends and bike for real in the nature.

it's not Welchism, Welch at least gave the players a chance to stay in the game based on their own efforts.

When Nintendo Wii motes first appeared, they were some of the few devices at the time with cheap MESM accelerometers and gyroscopes that were programmer-friendly. I remember taping two together back to back and integrating acceleration acro

So this comment and the sibling mentioning square sensors raise some good points. Let me rephrase the technological challenge: Make all phone screens square. All phones are now squares. Use Generative AI to fill in the sides of non-square s

by ddalex 2y ago
Aren't all sensors square already (well 4:3, or 3:2) , and fitting the circle ?

by ddalex 2y ago
Isn't this a technological choice though? Cameras are sufficiently advanced nowadays so it's possible to take horizontal video while keeping the phone vertical, so it's just a software feature away (at the expense of horizont

You're still thinking about capitalisation and the scalability of space. EU doesn't think that's a viable expansion route - already expressed my view that EU thinks 10 launches a year is more then enough to cover all bases.

There are no economies of scale required. This is not a commercial venture, and it's not required to be commercially viable. This is a strategic and political program, and as a jobs program it is wonderfully executed - the more to thro

It is a strategic option because should SpaceX suddenly say no to launches, you have a backup. An expensive backup, but it's there. If ESA has 100 payloads, it can just book 90 of them on SpaceX and the mandated 10 of ArianeSpace (to k

What do you mean, can deliver it? This article is specifically about the maiden flight of Ariane 6, which was successful. It's already delivered.

by ddalex 2y ago
it's about maintaining political options - what happens when your peer denies your launches on their platform; what prevents ESA from launching 90% of their payloads on SpaceX for reduced cost, while maintaining alive a credible option

If I would be begging for new development money from the parent org after just launching a new product, I would also say that the new product is obsolete and we need to work on a replacement ASAP... especially in a pork-barrel org
