This. Having survived dozens of mediterranean village summers without A/C, I am genuinely puzzled how it came to be considered a necessity. Is it "modern" construction methods that turned buildings into heat batteries? So, it

It is heavy handed on the wrong side. How about heavy-handed regulation of the Social Media platforms? Not content regulation, but operations regulation. I'm pretty sure bots and ai-spam can be both easily flagged and banned, somet

If you're not white enough, it's a hack. You can get around this problem by attracting some VC funding and building your HQ in Silicon Valley. /s

I think this is all theatrics to avoid EU regulation. Subscriptions for Meta products have already been a thing in the EU for several months. It went a bit like this: - EU mandates that users should be given the option to opt out from non-e

Wow! The inclusion of Lua bindings seems like a major step forward. This should make modding much more accessible.

This is grand coming from the current Greek government. It is an open secret in Greece that the ruling party has been funding and running an army of anonymous internet trolls called Omada Alithias (loose translation: Truth Strike Team) for

Why would you be ok with that? These brands earned the consumers' esteem because decades ago their products pushed the envelope in the respective markets. By having their product quality severely degraded, this also lowers the bar for

Domestic manufacturing is not coming back because there are no guarantees whatsoever that this ban is going to last. Nobody is going to shell out hundreds of millions to setup manufacturing for such a low-margin product when it is much che

You are right. My memory failed me there. I should have done a quick lookup for the pricing. It's $120/year/account for multi-user setup, and $60/year/account for single-user. Which is still dirt cheap if you use so

I agree. It's not like this project is disrupting an overpriced product/SaaS. E.g. Buffer charges around $50 per year per social media account, which gives you an unlimited number of collaborating user accounts. And their single u

Nuclear weapons gave us global stability (i.e. no WW3). Hypersonics, hopefully, will also give us regional stability.

I'm very sceptical on how well AI can "read the full diff and summarise the changes properly". A colleague has been using Claude for this exact purpose for the past 2-3 months. Left alone, Claude just kept spewing spammy, f

Don't you find it problematic that the only reason Thiel can organize these lectures is because he is a billionaire? Is he a bona fide scholar on the subject? Would any tenured theology scholar be welcome to hold the same lectures at t

A key point that TFA misses (probably for the sake of story-telling) is that, unlike the 2006 iMac the author fondly remembers of, MacBook Neo is not a hand-me-down computer. It is not the proverbial gift horse. You are paying fresh $ for i

I would argue that in the present conditions, regulation can actually foster and guide real innovation. With no regulations in place, companies would rather innovate in profit extraction rather improving technology. And if they have enoug

ECC has only 10-15% more transistor count. So you're only making one component of the computer 15% more expensive. This should have been a non-brainer, at least before the recent DRAM price hikes. Also, while computers may not be used

Maybe it's high time for some regulation? E.g. EU enforced mandatory USB-C charging from 2025, and pushes for ending production of combustion engine cars by 2035. Why not just make ECC RAM mandatory in new computers starting e.g. from

It's still weird. Why not just use an effing install.sh script like everybody else? And don't tell me "security". Because after installation you will be running an unknown binary anyway.
