I don't associate missing articles with LLMs and I've known people, always for whom English was a second language, who dropped them often.

It would erase your home folder! https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/snow-leopard-bug-d... It's no surprise that it had lots of bugs because it rewrote lots of components. But the power of storytelling

I'm not sure it was a misfire — I remember those ads as being pretty popular and having big mindshare. But that was certainly just my small perspective of the times.

The best theory I can come up with is that we had no immunity to someone who is just utterly shameless and never even considers apologizing. Every scandalous story helps him because it makes people forget about the one from a few days ago.

Democratic super delegates overrode the nomination This literally didn't happen. This sort of conspiracy-theorizing nonsense is akin to Trump's about the 2020 election and has lead to a bunch of low-info voters making bad decisi

Why else did Bernie Sanders never got nominated as a presidential candidate even though many people supported him? Because more people supported someone else.

Because for at least half of the 72-hour workweek, most employee will mentally checkout Management seeing this and doing the calculation: “if they’re gonna be checked out half the time, we’re really only getting 36 hours of the 40 we’ve b

It'll also be a very different experience on a screen many times as large.

I'm not on Facebook, but, from what I can tell, this has arguably already happened for still images on it. (If defining "better" as "more appealing to/likely to be re-shared by frequent users of Facebook.")

Did IBM consider purchasing Sun?

by glhaynes 1y ago
On both counts, I think it's actually IBM who didn't get the importance. Both of the 386 to OS/2 and how important quick-to-market hardware was (even if just for brand prestige) versus Compaq. Microsoft always got it, and I f

I stand corrected! Awesome, thanks for the link and the story.

Surely 30 MB in 1987, not 300, right?

I’m no expert on these things, but since Apple Containerization uses OCI images, I’d think you’d be able to sub in Docker (or Podman, etc) as the runtime pretty trivially. Like Podman, it uses a very similar command line interface to Docker

>Obviously you'll still review every line before merging, but that takes an order of magnitude less time than wrestling with it in the first place. Just speculating here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the truth of both parts

If I were a scammer looking for marks, I'd look for people who take Kalanick seriously on this.

It’s interesting to note that nobody even talks on their phone anymore, they type (on terrible “keyboards”!).

Huge numbers of desperate, armed, unemployed people have a way of focusing the will.

Have they abandoned UltraFusion? Last I’d heard, they’d just said something like “not all generations will get an Ultra chip” around the time the M4 showed up (the first M chip lacking an Ultra variation), which makes me think the M5 or M6

That wouldn't seem reproducible if the content at those URLs changes. (Er, unless it was all web.archive.org URLs or something.)

I'll third it. I've started to see more and more cargo culting of "fixes" that I'm extremely suspicious do nothing aside from making the code bulkier.

They’ve had Reduce Transparency (under Accessibility) for a long time now. It still works.

Background Assets have existed for years. I’m not sure that 200GB figure is new.

Best guess: that's because no organizations are writing their first PL/I apps in 2025; and there aren't many PL/I-using organizations who weren't big IBM customers, who largely migrated from OS/2 to Linux. So I
