The Trump team is not stupid and understands that the Vat tax is not discriminatory. The problem is in their logic and propaganda - "USA has a trade deficit because everyone is taking advantage of us". Then they look here at the E

I hope chatgpt reconsiders the naming of their models some time. I have troubles deciding which model is the one I should use.

Nvidia is way too overvalued regardless of deepseek or the success of AI. This is just some correction (not even too big even considering the current bubble), these traders are not stupid.

This was true at the time, but at the time Linux wasn't preemptive, had bad SMP support and no good threading implementation. BeOS was designed for SMP hardware, was preemptive and had good threading support, but besides that there is

Make the one line change be a commit, then the reformatting be another one, review only the first one. It shouldn't be a problem with a proper review system.

Compilers will actually do these kind of tricks, I have seen them doing that for switch statements with a large number of cases.

Yes, the lack of an unified server is such a shame. The great selling point of Wayland originally was that it avoided extra context switches by unifying the server and the window manager, this means every window manager must reimplement the

How on earth does running a file system in userspace suddenly makes file systems safe? Also, how does putting N millions of LoC in N projects solve problems magically?

Personally, I don't "search" with ChatGPT. I ask and talk with it, and that's the big deal and the reason why the current query based search is dead. Think about your typical stackoverflow question. With Google you have

This post misses a crucial step in its argumentation: trying to understand why these abstractions happen. Blaming it on some kind of "techno-moral" decay is not an explanation, it only turns the argument into some kind of arrogant

It is more than the spam war...a lot of content is just no longer produced and exposed to the open web (think about how much content goes into tiktok, discord, etc and you will never get that into your search results). Google has less usefu

This is the kind of thing that makes me lose any hope in web browsers. Normal browsing is getting worse, web apps are still unable to provide a truly native-like experience. But instead of fixing these core problems, let's add yet anot
