I've seen this exact comment at least 3 times in this post... what's up Google, getting nervous?

Dataset is not large enough to draw any conclusions. But execution time would've been an interesting metric to include.

My mom has heard of ChatGPT... she's a boomer retiree that (used to) share those Facebook posts that "make you rich by reposting". Also, when was the last time Google actually delivered a successful product? Yeah, it's b

Google doesn't have a good track record of delivering over the last few years (maybe they've gotten too bloated and complacent), so what comes next is not set in stone (BingPT FTW?). We live in interesting times indeed...

I would take the reverse, actually. Font rendering on Windows (after ClearType) is superior to macOs - I realize this could be a matter of preference though.

Telemetry that you can't disable is spyware. And spyware is malware. QED.

So, how much RAM does it take? You let that bit out.

LOL, ok. We have many reasons to hate on MS (their approach to privacy mainly) but this is not one of them.

Probably just used the previews (makes sense, songs tend to keep their rhythm throughout).

UWP support would be really nice. One of the only remaining reasons I have for keeping Windows around is a (discounted) Game Pass subscription, where all content comes in as "Windows Store" applications. Don't know if that&#x

Selective application tunneling is very interesting, I didn't know APIs were available for that (or do you have a custom network driver for it?). Is it bullet-proof enough for a killswitch or would the apps go through the normal route

The truth is, no-one knows. You cannot trust Microsoft to stick to something long term. Yes, apparently MAUI is here to stay, but they said the same thing about the dozen UI frameworks they killed before. You can try plain MAUI, or somethin

There is the FastForward browser extension if you don't want to compromise your device's security with self-signed certificates.

I recommend looking for an on-device parental control solution instead. Routers can block IP addresses or ports. DNS servers can block specific domains. But everything after domain.tld/* is sent over a TLS connection, so the only way t

This reminded me of DirectMusic; I remember the demos back in early 2000s (I think it was Age of Empires) where the music was dynamically generated based on what you were doing in the game (smooth transitions and everything). I wonder why t

The syntax is honestly what's keeping me away from Rust; it's ugly AF. I jump into an unknown C++, or TypeScript / JavaScript or C# codebase and it's just readable and easy to understand. I read a bit of complex Rust and

I've heard this anecdote from so many people in so many different contexts that I'm beginning to get suspicious about the common "benign" explanations like graphs of friends, their interests, location tracking, etc. Do w

How does this work with dynamic libraries (shared objects). In Windows land, you get a .lib with a .dll and afaik that has hardcoded function addresses. You statically link the "import library" .lib with your exe, so if you random

This is really bad, looks like the kind of output you'd get from a self-hosted GPT-2 instance: the article "contents" doesn't include any reference to the given topic, it's just repeated mumbo jumbo: https:/&#

I'm sure you'd be seeing the same results by rewriting the project in modern C++ instead of Rust.

On Windows 11 the start menu is simply unusable; there is no way at all to disable network requests (group policy, registry, etc.). Every single keystroke makes a new network requests, even with web search disabled. I just bought Start11.

Nice, I'm looking forward to getting one of these new TTS systems that generate very accurate voices, and a GPT-enhanced dialogue system to increase game replayability.

I've been doing the same after the LastPass incident (I haven't used it in a couple of years, but for old accounts I didn't do a good job of updating passwords). I agree it's surprising how many companies don't allo
