Yes, it was originally designed as a successor to HP PA-RISC and then brought to Intel. I don't know how much it changed from the original design during development at Intel.

Doomerism is observing that first order effect and trying to assert that we should change behavior at a societal level I don’t think this is as universal a definition of ”doomer” as you think. To pick up on one of your examples I’ve seen

Well OK, "a lot" can mean a lot of different things depending on context ;) In the vintage computer collector/enthusiast scene, there are probably dozens of working Lisas. How's that?

Yeah, I get it, I unfortunately live in the real world too. I like to keep it plain text whenever possible but it's extremely useful sometimes to have inline screenshots and stuff like that. I didn't mean to be sarcastic but it&#x

Boo hoo. Claude was trained using data stolen from the collective works of all of humanity. If someone does it faster and cheaper by skimming the cream off the top of Claude then surely that’s just a market efficiency in the thieves busin

You’re going to brute force every possible state of a sandbox building game. See you on the other side of the heat death of the universe; hope you stocked up on Claude Code credits.

GNU’s Not Unix is explicitly a faithful copy of UNIX. It replicates the original product in appearance and behavior and is open about it.

Also, lol, "the large battery in an EV makes it easier to feed powerful computers". Do they not think an internal combustion engine can power a few ARM chips? What could the total power consumption of all the computer equipment in

I've been thinking the same thing for years -- thank you for saying it. I agree completely. Another pro is that no encryption means super low power microcontrollers and retrocomputers can browse freely. The system req's go down by

I will say that the open and transparent design of Nordic society has some obvious issues when colliding with the hostile Internet we have today. The issue here though was whether having a full database is materially worse than relying on e

The original phrasing from the attacker, from the website that put the data up for download/sale, was ”documents (for electronic signing)” which implies that they’re documents that would be signed in said system. I would take all of th

OK, let me rephrase that: CGI, while they may "have something to do" with BankID in the sense that they have developed systems that integrate with it, does not itself develop BankID and does not hold any private keys for BankID.

To the best of my understanding it means that a system made by CGI for digital signing of documents (as in: you get something like a PDF from a government agency and need to digitally sign it and send it back) has had its source code and&#x

I cannot trivially get the whole database, no. But I kind of fail to see what a malicious actor would do with a large database of public information that they couldn’t otherwise do. The system is designed such that you can’t really do a lot

No, public information for anyone. You realize that if it's public information, then it's public, and anyone can re-publish it online? There are websites for that. I can get the complete identification number, home address, phone

Identification numbers per se are not particularly useful or hard to get, they are effectively public information They are absolutely trivial to get. One click on mrkoll.se.

It's quite possible that the maintenance is related, but I can nearly 100% assure you this has absolutely nothing to do with BankID. I don't know who suggested that but they are either poorly informed or actively trying to sow FUD

That level of simplicity lasted from approximately 1999 to 2002 Don’t forget the G4 Cube (most people do ;) which was also around at this time for reasons that are mostly unclear (looks cool though)

It is my understanding that you can completely forget about the faster speeds. Go down to 2400 bps and you may get a solid connection.

Yeah, I think I was a little confused by the context of another thread and did not realize this one was about Ireland specifically.
