I disagree. There is a massive interest in older computing, both from a programming and from an art perspective. The demo scene thrives on it. I have seen many times (and recently) a lot of interest here on HN about ancient 90s arcade machi

I have encountered this problem on Jellyfin before. It works like a dream, but there are some very strange circumstances that can cause the database to become locked and then just not work until I restart the docker container. If I check th

> original Nazis It's interesting that everyone is kind of on the same page without communicating some things. It seems we are at the point now where were referencing Nazis by which volume/edition they are from.

I assume this is to offset the bad PR from the suicide note it wrote for that kid.

In the earlier days of graphics on Linux this was a common right of passage. As far back as 2003 I can remember running an i915 graphics driver, which Intel has always had pretty good open drivers. When you would open a video in VLC and tak

A project manager gets paid more than minimum wage and those are actual skills that are in demand. Going through hoops to have to cash out some of your money is a big red flag you're probably scamming yourself . I think it works sim

Yeah my thinking here is to find some problem that involves some usage of a list of words or any other basic string building task. For example, you are assembling the "ingredients" of a "recipe". I think if you gave it t

For tricking AI you may be able to do a better job by just giving the variables misleading names. If you say a variable is for a purpose by naming it that way the agent will likely roll with that. Especially if you do meaningless computatio

IMO the "better" attack here is to just kind of use Return Oriented Programming (ROP) to build the nefarious string. I'm not going to do the example with the real thing, for the example let's assume the malicious string

I had a light interview to get started with LLamaIndex from their Discord channel while I was waiting to connect with some of the real developers. The scammer attempted some nonsense in a similar way, but had no plausible reason why I wo

What I have noticed is that when I read something I often deeply connected enough to the material that at some point I disengage and go DO SOMETHING with that information. If I'm reading something about a guy coding something and I get

Great write up and easy to follow. I appreciate the extra details related to related things.

I think the notation is supposed to mean the worst performance. This is more an argument about amortized time analysis.

Pis are actually pretty terrible at running a NAS. Sure there are people who do it and create content about it (Jeff Geerling) and that's kind of the schtick - it's quirky and weird and has some sharp edges. Great for making conte

They probably concluded at this point it wouldn't mean much and they are somewhat right. Every day they fail to address the situation that apology needs to be a lot bigger and it can only get so big.

This is why I don't use NAS from them. I don't understand why I would want to be limited in these strange ways. I have multiple NAS that I have created myself for myself, my family and my friends. If I want to have h264, h265, AV1

I don't think this matters much anymore. Synology killed themselves. Many were already in the boat of "sure I'll pay it, if it works and doesn't give me any BS, otherwise there are many options at better prices"

Is this similar to what CAPCOM did with their arcade system with that weird battery thing? If it powered off you had to send it back to CAPCOM to get it re-programmed. It was a DRM method used to combat piracy in the early arcade days.
