I wonder if this is like when Thinking Machines Corporation hired Richard Feynman mostly to get a little clout. They didn't have a lot for him to do, and he thought they were a bunch of naive kids with an idea that would never work in

The big problem is AI is amazing at doing the rote boilerplate stuff that generally wasn't a problem to begin with, but if you were to point a codebot at your trouble ticket system and tell it to go fix the issues it will be hopeless.

The mainstream drives are heavily focused on lowering the price. Back in the 2010s SSDs in the TB range were hundreds of dollars, today you can find them for $80 without breaking a sweat[1]. If you're willing to still spend $500 you

200m range seems adequate for passenger vehicle use. Even at 100kph that's over 7 seconds to cover the distance even if you aren't trying to slow down. I think there is diminishing returns with chasing even longer ranges. Even

Imagine a little known work from 1920 written by an author that died in 1955 featuring a boy wizard in a magic school who's estate sues J. K. Rowling in 1998 for copyright infringement. We might never have gotten any further books. Th

At the very least a system like this might force publishers to not drop ebooks from their stores just because. But others would point out that being able to not distribute a work is part of having the copyright. If a corporation doesn&#x27

Game of Thrones and Good Omens would easily fit in the 14+14 model. Even Handmaid's Tale would be fine, although the new TV series would be outside of copyright. 28 years is still a long time in human terms, timespans longer than tha

That site is a bit questionable. I entered "64TB" as the answer and it was very happy to show me a bunch of servers that maxed out at 6 or 8TB. Even the one server that listed 64TB of RAM might be questionable since it's not

I have an iPhone, but I don't want to watch a TV show on a phone screen. AppleTV content usually doesn't work over AirPlay. You just get a black screen.

Labor costs are unlikely to fall. The cost of living has been on an upward trend that shows no sign of stopping. The federal government waging a campaign of terror against the demographic that most house builders employ is certainly not h

bootstrap.sh is buggy. The message about running the git submodule command is never shown because the directory already exists in the repo. It also looks specifically for .exe files, when a linux compiler won't append that suffix. It

This is no joke. I tried watching the latest episode of Plur1bus on Apple TV+ on my laptop and here's the steps I went through: 1. Start chrome, navigate to tv.apple.com, click on the #1 show of the day (no problem) 2. The site tells

I was interested and wanted to see how much the animations burn CPU and whatnot, so I cloned the repo and went to try to build the demo but everything went to hell. The build environment is some .net thing written in C#. It comes with a &

The proportions look more like RJ11 than RJ45 to me. Not how big the clip is compared to the plug. Of course this is a hand drawn icon so take everything with a grain of salt.

I don't know how true this is, but it seems to me that SSD firmware has to be more complex than HDD firmware and I've seen far more SSDs die due to firmware failure than HDDs. I've seen HDDs with corrupt firmware (junk strin
