I used to work in VR/XR, and every sane person I know in the industry is justifiably skeptical. The only ones I know who aren't skeptical are utterly delusional. Not about VR/XR specifically, but they're all deluded ab

Remember that those regulations are written by the OEMs they benefit and whom bribe legislators to pass those regulations. Any argument made without acknowledging this is purely in bad faith. The problem is not regulation that benefits

If we just abandon hard problems the moment an easier solution comes up, we'd never progress socially or technologically. I think 8 billion people can manage doing two things at once.

Presumably they want nobody to ever publish or even explore "bad" things. Because as we all know, if something "bad" is possible, but no one has published a GitHub about it, no one will ever be able to do the bad thing!

Shellac is both a floor polish and a food additive, particularly in candy. Used to be, anyway. Modern alternatives are much better. It's still used as glue in wind instruments though.

On the one hand, in today's world asking how many bits is in an int is exactly as answerable as "how long is a piece of rope" On the other, the right answer is 16 or 32. It's not the correct answer, strictly speaking,

Blame your own government for trying to levy fines on non-citizens anywhere on the entire damn planet without explaining or justifying itself. Kyle has spent a lot of time and resources trying to talk to OFCOM. They won't give answer

This is what the UK government wants. Kyle has spent an insane amount of effort to get answers from OFCOM, got none, and as such blocks the UK for self-preservation. The UK wants to fine non-citizens for violating online purity rules, so th

Yeah, a real d100 is just too impractical for actual gameplay. Super neat, but two d10s is far more usable.

It costs a lot of money to publish software on Windows. You have to pay Microsoft a ransom to sign your application or otherwise users get giant scary warnings about running unknown software.

They're just words . If you want to give those words so much power over you, that's your own problem to deal with. What right do you have to demand the rest of society cater to your particular hangups? When I hear curse words, th

That's just regurgitating the same Puritannical bullshit that's been infecting American society for the past hundred years or so. Humans curse sometimes. That's what happens to real people in the real world. Astronauts are no

You can use both codex and Claude CLI with local models. I used codex with Gemma4 and it did pretty well. I did get one weird session where the model got confused and couldn't decide which tools actually existed in its inventory, but u

No. Someone replaced well thought out documentation with AI fabrications and let GP take the fall for it. That is malicious and inexcusable. It's not on GP, the fault lies with the idiot that ran gold documentation through the bullsh

How about the fact that Tesla is killing people and covering it up? Would you go to a driver's funeral and tell their family that um, ackshully it's sparkling autopilot? What do you think you're adding to the conversation? Yo

There are no additional details. This article is just restating the NASA announcement.

Because for the last 60 years we've allowed big business to buy and hollow out our legal and education systems.

Is that relevant? The grid in every country is getting ridiculously stressed by datacenters.

The computer can single-step through the program far more accurately than you can. You can inspect the full state of the CPU and memory at any moment of execution. The debugger can tell you the real, exact value of a variable at runtime. Th

With sufficient motivation and effort, you could have a self-updating microcontroller. You could, if you really wanted to, write firmware just as robust, reliable, and flexible as the Voyager system. It's just that in most cases, t

A permanent moon base has real practical benefits. Most likely a key prerequisite to manned missions further than orbit.

Yeah, if you ignore literally every use of the internet except "check Facebook" then it's perfect. Unfortunately, the internet is used for a lot more than using one of the six gigantic centralized websites.

The problem is that they don't "need" to. There's no consequences for not caring, and no incentive to care. We need laws and a competent government to force these companies to care by levying significant fines or jai

Most US states are not global superpowers with hundreds of millions of citizens. The scale is completely different. Economics do not simply scale up and down, the math changes drastically when the numbers get bigger.

Your experience is not universal truth. My experience tells me that one can spend years at an instrument and still lack the fundamental capacity to be an artist . I've spent years playing different instruments. I'm pretty good

OCR'd ebooks are universally trash. For one, all formatting is gone. Anything in the book other than ASCII characters will vanish. You lose links within the book and all other advanced features. And OCR is generally just not accurate e

I damn near have a stroke every time I try to reason about IPv4 addresses as an integer. But hey, I guess four bytes is four bytes no matter how you read them.

You are so very incredibly wrong about absolutely everything here.

The Microsoft Solitaire Pack or whatever the current branding is does, indeed do something behind the scenes to ensure the game is winnable. I suspect they have either a massive database of proven-winnable shuffles, or before the game prese
