Like with all analog media, what you get out of cassettes depends heavily on the actual media you use, as well as the equipment. Tape getting stuck or unwound doesn't really happen with quality decks, and the fun part is those are much

Another word of warning is that sadly, this knowledge doesn’t seem to stick if left unexercised. Few years ago I used this website to get good enough to be able to copy callsigns from real radio. Now I would have trouble to recall more than

The most important contributor to a Kessler-like scenario is extremely high relative speed of items traveling on crossing orbits. It’s not very relevant to the situation in a single geostationary orbit shared by all the objects.

Nowadays it seems rather easy to have a computer that talks as if it were conscious. Do you think it really does perceive itself the same way we do? I woke up a human today, but someone else woke up an algorithm? If not, what’s missing?

Would having quit your earlier job reflect on you badly when looking for a new job?

I’d say that NATO and EU membership helped. Note that there are many other countries that fell out of the Soviet sphere of influence and didn’t share the same level of success.

What could communist Poland of late 80s offer? It’s a shame that USA cannot help their neighborhood into a better economic position.

There’s also libthread[1] which implements concurrency model similar to goroutines (at least earlier, as they appear to be no longer just cooperatively scheduled?). That manual also mentions Alef and Newsqueak as influential predecessors. [

He most likely wouldn't have this problem if he used a VPN product for clueless users. It has nothing to do with trust towards a class of technology and all to do with the fact that computers are hard.

There are a lot of customers locked in the ecosystem, sure. The question is whether the ecosystem is still able to attract new customers, as it once was.

Makeup is a personal preference. What OP talked about is subtly and transparently putting AI in a pipeline where we don't expect it. And it's not hypothetical, rather it already happens. Video meeting software is doing all kinds o

Maybe it's a messaging problem. Even for that article, the headline appears more decisive every time it's repeated. How long until it appears in mass media as "Science wrong again?"

If I decided to charge my customer specifically for indenting my code, I imagine they might be interesting in evidence that they're getting their money's worth.

Is FreeDOS aiming to provide DOS compatibility with newer computers, or better experience for old ones? Would there be any upside to installing FreeDOS instead of MS-DOS on a retro PC?

Desirable? Probably not. Expected? Yeah. Especially given that is the was pretty unexpected to work on the first try.

What others said is true, but I think the endgame is also to literally land on the launchpad, allowing for a quick turnaround.

Doesn’t working on a venture on company time put you at an enormous disadvantage in terms of ownership?

What matters is that a physical release holds some value, as there is a resale market for it. Meanwhile, there is no market for „offline installers”.

It's not a technology issue, it's a service issue. If ICE cars were invented today, you'd need an app at a gas station too.

Yes, I agree. As I said, that entire argument is far fetched at a few different points, this being one of them.

While this entire chain of thought seems a bit far fetched, I think the reasoning here is that if you lower the demand for meat, you don’t have to resort to factory farming.

It's probably also an interesting challange to implement an emulator. I was hoping that Uxn could eventually be a vehicle to get rich, graphical apps onto less popular operating systems, like Plan 9 (which they support). While their 1s

If we were to talk about hypotheticals, let's look at this picture of Io[1] taken from Earth's surface. Io's angular size is 1.2 arcsec. Feature of that apparent size would be ~2.2km in diameter on the surface of our Moon. Wi

It’s somewhat disappointing that over the years the ecosystem[1] accumulated more emulators than substantial programs. [1] https://github.com/hundredrabbits/awesome-uxn

A lot of the items on the pictures look like 15+ years old equipment. People don't use CRT TVs or cassette decks, but not because they broke down on schedule. Not saying that planned obsolescence is not an issue, but even if a piece of

That being said, 4o is functionally in the same league as Claude, which makes this a whole different story. One in which the moat is already gone.

It seems like an attractive concept. I tend to fluctuate between consuming too much news and getting fed up leading to not consuming any. BTW, I like how this is literally just a daily newspaper. Something that we’ve figured out at least hu

I expected to be given some evidence proving that this is indeed the right way to hire.
