Why not a box with 128MB of RAM then?

Running on what devices (and additionally, purchased with what money)?

If you think that paints an "us vs them" narrative as opposed to asking you not to cut off your introspection where it's convenient for you, then that's on you.

In that sense it's rather similar to triumphantly holding up Big Macs as evidence of the modern food industry being awesome actually. Is it relatively cheaper to fill your stomach than at most other points in history? Sure, but at wh

It is precisely because I both make and buy custom apparel that I will always push back on people proudly announcing that the Luddites were wrong because they can buy clothes that are worse than rags for a few dollars today. I have actu

Of course, do not ask the question of how they ended up with the original low standard of living to begin with, or how that increased standard of living compares to the standard of living of the westerners proud to announce that they can

Of course you would enjoy that when every single externality involved has conveniently been exported elsewhere and you have been handily trained over generations to accept piss-poor quality clothing as normal. Perhaps in a couple of centu

Given the absolute slop that passes as clothing nowadays, the Luddites had very good points actually.

It's interesting to me the lengths people will go with vibes and back-of-the-napkin maths over things that are easily verifiable. Even without looking up the very public ADS-B data, you are ignoring the fact that ARFF trucks are very m

I phrased that badly, what I meant is two things in one and I mashed them together: - do you think nation-states have the same commercial relationship with the ultimate sources of their satellite imagery as the general public? To me that ma

But what you're describing is stealth. "Stealth" doesn't mean "invisible". Humans wearing combat fatigues aren't literally invisible either especially when moving, they're just harder to track/

by filleduchaos 7mo ago
Do you seriously think they were referring to commercial image providers when they mentioned nation-states being able to buy images/tracking?

...literally yes (to the latter)? Is that not exactly why modern warships have to implement things like measures to reduce their radar cross section? If you could actually just rely on "ocean too big" then there would be no need f

I would in fact expect any human that's as good at writing code as various state-of-the-art LLMs (if you take the breathless proclamations of their hype bros at face value) to be able to solve the rather simple problems in the benchmar

I'm not sure how you missed that the user you were responding to was poking a little bit of fun at you claiming that "over 900 BILLION" people play games on Windows. That aside, it is also a bit funny that the Hacker News cro

What on earth are you talking about? In the US (which seems to be the context in question), Actual Registered Nurses™ are not by any means "scarce" and in fact make up the clear majority of all nurses. Nor do they get "paid a

Political organizing around unions, state regulations of the labour market, and agitational political parties did nothing to prevent the severe decline of clothing quality that was the Luddites were advocating against. But of course, propag

That's nice but doesn't actually answer the question that I asked, which is how this (i.e. requiring local user accounts to specify an age range on creation) is bad for a free society. Simply stating something you apparently s

How is it bad for a free society?

There is nothing "insane" about it, it is in fact quite simple and straightforward. It is far more honest to just say "I don't have the stomach for it/I don't want to die" (and there's nothing inheren

Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have and have you tested this on a computer that does not have as much? Asking because this sounds like a mini-disaster in the making with e.g. macOS' swap and a device with 16GB or even 8GB of RAM

"One hour is plenty of time for flight school" is not doing you any favours in coming across as knowing what you're talking about lol. Good freaking luck completing cross-country flights for an instrument rating with that end

Wait, you think workhorse aircraft today can run on batteries ?

by filleduchaos 9mo ago
Piston-engine aircraft both have much more vital roles than people flying them for fun (for example they form practically all of "last mile" air service as well as pretty much all of ag flying) and very much do not have viable a

Turboprops have already existed for decades, so perhaps you should already be nervous.

Other persecutions for what? Sending crap data to an API is not a crime.
