What the other said about it being a non sequitur, adding on top of that "constitutional right" is no longer as strong a statement as you think it is considering the kangaroo court that is the SCOTUS nowadays.

i-fixit sells Lenovo batteries, FYI. They may show as out of stock, but they replenish occasionally and you can be notified when that happens.

React was built to satisfy the specific scaling and complexity needs of Facebook, and this CV-driven industry jumped on board with it pretending that what's good for Facebook is good for them. The incentives are completely misaligned:

Your democratically elected president (or, rather, the group behind him) is undoing whatever was left of the democratic apparatus. There is no counter power in place. Executive, legislative and judiciary are de facto one. You seem to operat

Yeah, it seems like the perfect device for me would be a X1 with current gen's AMD!

My ThinkPad (T480s) is turning 8 this year, and only got its first battery replacement last month. I've been carrying it with me everywhere, on every single trip (office or holidays alike), on all continents. In that same timespan, I u

Just for context, did you see this from CF's CEO? https://x.com/eastdakota/status/2009654937303896492 The bits about Vance, Musk and "freedom of speech" are not only completely unnecessary, but well

Not OP but, oh common. This entire thing IS political. Big Tech IS in bed with the authoritarian US apparatus, they have been very transparent about it. What are you expecting to gain from your message? Pedantry points?

Quite the opposite actually, way too many people treat LLMs as oracles, all the while they are fundamentally unreliable at knowledge storage and retrieval. If there was legitimate doubt in the early days as to whether a collaborative encycl

You stream the music you own, it uses the subsonic protocol/API, and so is compatible with countless clients, letting your enjoy your lossless music on fancy hardware at home or cached on your mobile device when on the go.

Yoto is quite amazing, well thought-out product, for both parents and kids.

I need evidence that sufficiently large organisations don't eventually devolve into… whatever that is. And then, names, so I can apply there, while there's still some work ethics left in me.

CachyOS? That distro asking you to pick one out of 5 bootloaders and one out of 13 desktop environments? That is rolling and so comes with the implicit contract that you would have your eyeballs liking every package's release notes for

Hope there's a timeline in which banking and corporate apps can run/be enrolled on that. If the current geopolitical mess from the USA isn't a good-enough reason to make it happen, I don't know what is.

Certainly.

You know what that reminds me very much of? That email client thing that asks you "did you forget to add an attachment?". That's been there for 3 decades (if not longer) before LLMs were a thing, so I'll pass on it and k

It's even worse and sadder. Consumers already paid a premium for that, because the monopolists in place made it unavoidable. And now, years later, engineers (who usually are your best advocates and evangelists when it comes to bringing

Just to be the pedant here, LLMs are fully deterministic (the same LLM, in the same state, with the same inputs, will deliver the same output, and you can totally verify that by running a LLM locally). It's just that they are chaotic (

My guess is, the bubble popping means the demand wasn't real. No amount of price reduction will motivate it. Anybody who has to get theirs will be in for a steep premium.

That's fallacious: enterprise stuff doesn't always make sense at consumer level and doesn't always "drop down" for that reason. We've yet to see whether that particular stuff makes consumer sense.

Maybe what you're calling capitalism is just oligarchy, in which case the nuance really doesn't matter.

Every major DE had its very own compositing implementation back in X11, so what was "easy" got to be more standardized, and what was hard remained so.

Trust me, I really want that to happen, but who has the billions to burn (and the will to use them at that) to build a solid alternative? Most probably, the EU will have a misguided shot at it, out of desperation from the USA, and will subs

I feel the same, but in hindsight it makes a ton of sense once you consider that Microsoft customers have not, and for a very long time, been its end users. Instead, it's been those (mostly technically incompetent) FortuneXXX middle&#x

I agree with you, and with GP for that matter, I think this is both human nature AND we've been conditioned by algorithms to seek and produce this style of communication. I'm really hopeful we can eventually grow out of this. I fe
