Well, thank god for that. Can you imagine the uproar if just one showed a link, or proved inconclusive?

VNC works really well for Linux based workstations. Both RealVNC and TightVNC are good although RealVNC has started pushing their cloud offering recently. Install on both machines, one running as server, the other as a client.

This is true in Wukong too, which is otherwise a very good-looking game. There are various points where rocks and scaffolds look just as climbable as those in the game area, yet the game engine places an invisible wall in your way. It break

I think this is the right analogy. A skilled blacksmith has influence in his village, but he is still operating at the mercy of his vassal lord, and by extension, the king of the lands. Speaking up against either would find him dispossessed

Well that's interesting and true. Looking at the OS landscape, the previous battleground, the software rent model has made a number of companies very rich. And yet, the few standouts gave us Linux and OSS. Do we need more than a few to

While I appreciate the discussion on assets, I was referring mainly to LLMs. Everyone's paying to rent time on closed source LLMs instead of using open-source versions on their own hardware.

Even though I think solar is impractical as a primary source for various reasons, it doesn't take a lot. David MacKay in "Sustainable Energy: Without the Hot Air" did a calculation circa 2010. To fulfill the world's ener

Why not stop renting? As experts, we are in a unique position to be able to make that choice. Regular joes and janes don't have much hope, but we do.

> Whether the UN works or not is largely dependent upon whether the five powers that granted themselves veto power (the P5: the US, the UK, France, China, and Russia) allow it to work. They are largely the source of its funding. The US i

Yes, they are spending funds on things that matter to those that voted for them, and removing funds from things that don't. Sounds like a standard thing that happens in a democracy. When someone you vote for is in power, they will spen

That's called whataboutism. China's internal problems are for China to solve. If you have an opinion, why not go over and advise them on what to do?

Throughout much of its history, the US has been conservative and isolationist. The post-WW2 era was an aberration, not the status quo. I see these actions as the US returning to its roots. Whether the US annexes Canada is up to the US and C

> Leaving a power vacuum, like dismantling the UN, will just open the door for places like China to step in. You think that country has any amount of give a crap about humanity as a whole? Not even a little, I would argue. If China wants

The online space (Reddit, HN, others) is so deeply embedded with groupthink that people have lost the ability to see other points of view or debate topics of interest. To me it's very clear why the government is leaving UNESCO (and ove

It should be both. A heartbeat monitor can log information at periodic events while warnings, errors and other high priority events are logged as soon as they occur. All log entries should be time-stamped regardless of the logging frequency

I'm certain these are advertorials masquerading as personal opinions. These people are being paid to promote the product, either through outright cash, credits on their platform or just swag.

I agree with you. There seems to be a wave of mass delusion coursing through Canada. The average person seems to think that high immigration demand is a measure of the country's wealth and status. In actuality, it reflects the depth an

As long as the key and compute are custodied by the vendor, confidential compute is little more than "trust us, we'll keep your data safe."

This is great, but to make a comparable hand, we also need very sensitive sensors, at minimum pressure and temperature, across the entire surface area.

This is pseudoscience at best. Multiple factors feed into a person's gait, from hereditary factors to physical differences in structure and growth patterns. It's going to be very difficult to eliminate all confounding variables, s
