Whatever Meta says publicly about this topic, and whatever its internal policies may be, directly contradicts its behavior. So any attempt to excuse this is nothing but virtue signalling and marketing. The privacy violations and complete di

It's frustrating to read this type of response whenever this topic is raised. It does nothing but derail the conversation into absurdism. Yes, we don't have clear definitions of intelligence, just like we don't for life, and

It's not. It directly contradicts the false utopia that tech bros have been selling us of AI solving world hunger, curing all diseases, bringing prosperity to everyone, and similar nonsense. A statement like this from someone influenti

You're right, high demand certainly plays a role. But it's one thing for the second-hand market to dictate the price of used hardware, and another for new hardware to steadily get more expensive while its objective capabilities

To be fair, this is not a problem with the web itself, but with the Node ecosystem. It's perfectly possible to build web apps without relying on npm at all, or by being very selective and conservative about the packages you choose as y

Hhmm I did underclock the RAM to 4800 MHz, since running it at the stock 6400 MHz would overheat the system (it's a mini PC) and cause artifacting. And, practically, I don't need higher frequencies, since I'm using the machin

I really think Intel is on the right track to dethrone both AMD and NVIDIA, while also competing with ARM SoCs. It's fascinating to watch. Both their integrated and dedicated GPUs have been steadily improving each generation. The Arc l

I can't really say what their intentions are. It could be an elaborate scam to get people to sign up for cloud hosting, and then disappear, as their original project did. They're also distributing binaries that can't be guara

I do think that there's appeal in a single-binary tool that implements the core features of something like Proxmox. Proxmox is a complex project that requires dedicating an entire machine to it. I'm not familiar with Kimchi or Coc

Hey, thanks for sharing. As someone who uses QEMU via rudimentary shell scripts, this looks interesting. Unfortunately, I'm reluctant to trust a 26KLOC vibe-coded app[1] for something like this, so I'll pass. But if a polished Rea

I'm usually sensitive to such issues, but I'm not seeing it in this case. Can you point out where that's most visible? Or screenshot it? Maybe it has to do with font rendering on your system. It looks fine for me on Windows a

I skimmed through your blog posts, and the WICG proposal, and my main objection to it is making it depend on JavaScript. There are plenty of ways HTML templating can be done already using JavaScript. The simplest approach of using tagged te

I appreciate that as well, but SD cards still aren't the same as old game cartridges. On consoles up to the Nintendo 64, plugging in a cartridge expanded the physical memory of the system, and the CPU read data directly from the ROM on
