Or is it to lobby for restrictive rules on AI research that only the largest firms can hope to comply with? And "only coincidentally" ends up outlawing open source / open weight / import of overseas AI models?

Yes they do. General physical appt. 6 months ago. Doctor spent 2x more time on the wall-mounted EHR terminal slowly typing and clicking through menus than having a conversation or doing physical exams. Just means their interface and workflo

The idea is that enough users insist on non-attestation devices and platforms that governments and mega corps aren't able to require them for critical services. And loudly protest, switch to different services, etc when they DO attempt

I've seen some great successes using HomeAssistant combined with one of these that connects your vehicle's various CANbuses (via OBD port) to Wifi/BLE. https://www.meatpi.com/products/wican

Linux intends to be left out of all this attestation garbage because it completely undermines the point of fully owning and controlling your own devices. I don't want or need to ask permission before I run a program - not from random m

Saw the word Bullshittery. Thought someone might have written a piece on SovietWomble[1]. Actual article ended up being about economics and business, and defeatist at that. Was disappointed. 1: https://www.youtube.com/user&#

TagConnect is too fragile. Broken off way too many of the little plastic "hooks" that go through the board.

If you developed (truly developed; including test cases and documentation and deployment strategy and change management and...) a 12 month roadmap in a couple days with Claude Code, then you seriously overestimated your time requirements in

Not so useless. In my experience LLMs are about 50/50 on making a regex that actually works and covers the cases you asked it for. Even less when you get into cases needing advanced features like backreferences and lookahead.

Can you have an "anti-"emotional connection to a brand? The iPhone for me is missing a critical feature, which is ability to run the software I choose even if it didn't come from the App Store. Which means that brand is dead

Didn't help. With AC on maximum it'd still "turn off" early. Honda claimed working as designed.

Whoever bought my old Honda Fit is asking the same question right now; I installed a button in about the same place. They'll have fun figuring that one out. Honda Fit's AC is designed a lot more for fuel efficiency than effectiven

5170 (IBM AT) was a 286 design. The 5150 (IBM PC) and 5160 (IBM PC XT) were the previous 8088-based systems. Sounds like it's described as "based on" because it's heavily reverse engineered, modified to use more readil

Oh that's just the start of it. I recently learned there are cheating methods that use sniffing and live modification of system RAM via PCI Express DMA transfers. As usual, physical access to hardware trumps all.

Challenge: Replace faulty RAM on an M1/M2 MacBook. Then when you discover you can't, pull the SSD and dump the data for transfer to another machine. Slight problem there too... Wear parts shouldn't be irreplaceable. That&#x27

ChatGPT when asked this question answers that its responses are probabilistic, so the responses aren't reproducible. I tested that myself, of course. Since it gave me 2 different (but overall equivalent) answers from the same prompt I&

I've used MythTV since something like 2004. Still great to use for Digital OTA broadcasts (and free-to-air satellite / DVB if that's available in your area). Cable DRM has unfortunately made it much less useful for recording

I seem to remember one of the TRS-80 Basic manuals being a bit silly too. A lot more so than you'd expect from Radio Shack, anyway. Found it: https://archive.org/details/Getting_Started_with_TRS-80_Basi...

Completing a "search" SHOULD return a 200 with an empty results set. But a search is "/api/employees?name=Bob", not /api/employees/1199. The former is an endpoint that exists but was unable to fi

Many of your examples are changing the query string, not the resource path. That's an important designation in REST semantics. REST APIs shouldn't use query strings for accessing singular records with IDs, that's what direct

It's not just browsers. One popular Windows-based video surveillance platform has hardware decode support for H264, but it's software only for H265; that's on both Windows clients and Android mobile. That means your H264 came

Windows 10 Enterprise and group policy to disable telemetry? Agree it's not exactly "practical" though for non-business settings.

Any chance it was an IBM terminal? Looks like it was common for units like the 3151 to be connected to RS/6000 systems: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_3151_terminal.jp...
