I hope the EU are liable for software that they make defective by their own security legislation.

I know someone who worked at a recycler who was paid to physically destroy and certify media as destroyed. It took time and money to destroy media so it just sat in a warehouse for months and the paperwork was lies. Eventually they went ban

They did this to me once after finding an allergy test was inconclusive. After about 9 months of being ill and having nutritional issues I was back to where I was again with the same problem This turned out to be lactose so I just avoid it

It has no idea about calculus at all. Not only that it's a numeric not a symbolic calculator. So taking it even further back to basics, if you do sqrt(12) it should really crap out 2+sqrt(3) [as a surd] but it just dumps the evaluation

Mathematician here. No it's really not. Having used it extensively it craps out all the time, fails to parse things properly, doesn't understand anything other than a very narrow undefined subset of anything that needs to be done

If you compare a good x86 to a crap ARM yes. Laptops are populated mostly with crap x86 and good ARM (apart from snapdragon which is a crap ARM)

If I was going to bother now I'd start at static content and work back from that to a solution. Be that a static site generator or another tool which is scraped into static, but nothing you have to host anywhere other than a cheap CDN.

We used to have Demon internet in the UK. The local vicar told us proudly that he was using it and thought it was funny. Depends how backwards people are…

Eh could be worse. My daughter’s boyfriend’s parents won’t use Apple stuff because the logo has a bite out of it. Hilariously though they are paranoid about China and Chinese influence and go on about it all the time including Apple making

Ah yes but you likely aren’t at the mercy of the lowest bidders!

The problem is by the time it does everything you need it to do, it's a fat turd again. Your point is like saying C is a lightweight language. It sure is, until you have layered everything else you need on top of it.

React is not boring. We have to use a 64 gig machine to build one of our React things and it takes 45 minutes to do so. I'm literally on a meeting now trying to work out how to make it boring again.

I watched it on Twitter. Two idiots sent me the crypto scam link separately.

There was an AI crypto scam channel. Musk is so scammy that it looked feasible and was shared widely by the looks.

While I appreciate these projects, I can't see any headway for something like this in our academic community. We have a very established ecosystem of LaTeX packages, styles and documents, some of which are more than 25 years old. Every

That’s exactly what I did. Epic shot my account.

Epic did that to me a couple of years back. Once burned twice shy. I just stole the games instead!

So, what exactly is the point of the LLM if it can't exceed an average person and produces results which are not trustworthy?

That's not even the problem I encounter. They literally crap out on stupidly simple tasks. Recent ones: 1. Bing was gaslighting me into 9.11 being greater than 9.9 2. ChatGPT said that 7x7/7+7/7+7/7 was 24. 3. When expan

30 years ago I spoke to a fairly well known and regarded physicist who said something rather interesting along the same lines. Quoting as accurately as I can "physics looks sexy from the outside due to some celebrities but inside it&#

Same experience here. On a positive note I got replaced by a guy in India. Then after a year of them clambering over each other’s corpses for promotion and destroying the org from the inside, I got hired back on contract to unfuck the mess

I would never rely entirely on eBay. I am currently jousting with a scammer who I sold a MacBook Pro to and they returned one with a different serial number and claim it was broken. They bought something working from me and returned their b

Naive. It's a primary source of income for many people.

100% agree with that. x265 transcoding gets done on my MBP regularly so I’d like to see that as a comparison point.
