I’m not following: which OS is installed on it? Doesn’t it also publish updates?

Honest question: are there serious studies about the link of Covid with the current dying (for lack of a better word) of democracy in the US? I would be very interested. I suspect there is a link – but I’m really not an expert on the subjec

Thank you for this. The poor always vote against themselves I have the impression. Far right plan to hand over the country to megacorps et remove all social nets in Germany. Guess who votes for them more than other social categories? The on

I agree that the TPUs are one of the things that are underestimated (based on my personal reading of HN). Google already has a huge competitive advantage because they have more data than anyone else, bundle Gemini in each android to siphon

I think windows has historical monopoly. They bundled it with PC hw and the vast majority of apps only ever got published for windows, and this over decades (one would argue it’s still true). The starting point for LLMs is very different. W

My assumption is statistical. All software has critical vulnerabilities, not just the old ones. It’s just that these vulnerabilities are known, in the case of the old ones, which significantly increases the risk.

That’s still the example, not my point. My point is, statistically, it is more secure to install updates as fast as possible. We can take another example: search for “shitrix”, there’s thousands more CVEs out there to use as example.

Fully agree, it’s akin to atheists, they very often are convinced they are not religious. Agnostics are the unreligious ones. In fact, atheists are the most fanatical zealots in my friends circle.

Yes, it is very much atypical. Most hacks happen because admins still haven’t applied a 2 years old patch. I hate updates, but it‘s statistically safer that running an old software version. Try exposing a windows XP to the internet and watc

Let’s say there’s a balance between the two, and maybe optimising a bit more is currently a good idea for various reasons…

Some people definitely, but you made a point that you don’t. People are “biomolecular machines” and they are “useful, sure”. I wouldn’t call that “appreciating the world around oneself”. Want that your whole point, that people aren’t better

If I wasn’t one of them I wouldn’t care. It’s like caring about trees having branches. They just do. The trees probably care a great deal about their branches though, like I care a great deal about my emotions.

Very little people really care about a hobby. The ones that do are the most visible but the huge mass just isn’t passionate.
226.
by illiac786 9mo ago
Makes zero sense. “Emotion” is a property of these “biomolecular machines”, by its definition.

Hmmm, check the jxl-rs repository. I wouldn’t call it mature. Not to say it’s buggy, but most of its code is very fresh.

I think most of the comments on this thread crystallise two different conception of security: the intended one and the effective one. The second one is messy to measure, it requires making statistics on how often NAT saved the day by accide

ok, but now we’re nit-picking about the meaning of “army”. There are “NATO troops” while there aren’t “EU Troops”. I would still like to understand why previous poster said the EU defense agreement was more robust, I am genuinely curious ab

Just check for “NATO troops”. That’s a term that exists and mean something.

In assuming you are not using your keyboard to set brightness because it’s an external display plugged into a laptop? Search for a DDC application for your desktop, it’s amazing, the brightness controls of your laptop will then control the

Autobrightness only works for screens which are against a wall. Your eyes care about what is behind the screen, not in front of it, and that’s one thing autobrightness never took into account. I used to jailbreak my iPhone 4s to get some da

How is it more robust? There is no EU army, is there?

But now you’ve reversed the logic: because he looks like a Russian asset, then the argument fits. I mean, I don’t discuss that it’s an extremely tempting theory, full of Schafenfreude toward all the idiots that voted for him.
235.
by illiac786 9mo ago
Yeah but that theory explains anything short of bombing Russia directly, hence I wouldn’t say it fits, it’s just a one size fits all.

I agree. That’s why I think EU‘s DMA is visionary, even if not perfect. LLM wars will prove EU regulators right I anticipate.

Battery/sleeping is the main challenge I believe, not processing power. Linux laptops still struggle a lot with sleep. And Windows laptop too btw.

I really don’t get this attitude. What deal do you mean? You using VS Code? Why not change the setting simply?
