I asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek what the AE and OE mean in "Harman AE OE 2018 curve". All of them made up complete bullshit, even for the OE (Over Ear) term. AE is Around Ear. The OE term is absurdly easy to find even

It's not really smartphones by themselves that need to be discussed, but rather (simplified) the dopamine loop reward system. Explain it to young kids as the smartphone giving you a 'treat' for doing nothing. Eventually you g

This is what Brave's "Forgetful Browsing" does. There's even a slight delay, in case you accidentally closed the tab. You can configure the "Cookie Autodelete" extension to behave in a similar way.

Not really, because many cheaper phones don't have mmWave antennas. Nor do some international iPhones. Aside from that, mmWave's biggest application is high-speed connections, not necessarily large client capacity per cell (althou

5G beamforming is not that accurate a proxy signal, and mmWave is phone vaporware, instead only significantly used for point-to-point connections. Line-of-sight requirements make it dead in the water for anything else.

We already have a term for it in people, "intuited". When you are asked to intuit something, it usually implies an unfamiliarity with the subject matter. There is such entrenchment with terms though, it'll never get shifted t

> zero shot I really wish we would find a different term for this. Doing something always takes at least one attempt, i.e. "one shotting". "Zero shotting" is an oxymoron, which makes it a term that only creates more c

Apparently no one remembers that a while back Synology already "locked" a whole bunch of people their drives, by ripping out BTRFS support on their NAS budget models. And they pushed this update without warning ahead. Your disks j

Nothing as fanciful as a 'memory palace'. It's more that with a physical note you aren't giving yourself permission to forget, because you can't instantly repo the information. Just like taking a photograph of a bea

That wouldn't work. 95% of people ordinarily do usually stick with defaults, but not when chasing their (dopamine) addiction. Imagine there's a toggle you can flip in the Settings of Instagram that was labeled "free oxy"

Only because he picked 50th percentile. If you'd sample 75th percentile I think for most sports it'll hold pretty true to the 80-20 rule for mastering something: 80% of the result comes from 20% of the investment, and to eek out t

Yes, it was the generation of the X360 and PS3. X360 was 3 core and the PS3 was 1+7 core (sort of a big.little setup). Although it took many, many more years until games started to actually use multi-core properly. With rendering being on a

I agree, but it makes me feel supremely uneasy to use something where the main team does Soviet-style purges where they mute/exile/ban community members not because they were being offensive but because they committed wrongthink.

No, your claim was that integrators get hate for not immediately integrating upstream changes. Which is patently false, because users would rather have the packages tested for breaking changes and either patched or have a deprecation warnin

The problem with NixOS (Nix?) is that it is currently embroiled in a culture war. Just to give an example, someone made an April's Fools joke about Elon Musk sponsoring NixOS and they got their post muted and (almost?) caught a suspens

No, they do not. No sane person would say "I would rather integrate a package with a breaking change without explicit build warning / deprecation".

They do not. Even the vast majority of Arch users thinks the policy of "integrate breakage anyway and post the warning on the web changelog" is pants-on-head insane, especially compared to something like SUSE Tumbleweed (also a ro
