Believe or not, some people actually believe in not just using violence to address their political opponents.

This has to be the weirdest submission I've seen here, but I'll pick the raisins off the cake: 1. This is cool. Have been looking for something like this, having a few production systems that run FFMPEG on command line as part of

After DDG's earlier announcements delivering the image that DDG then severed their uneasy dependency from Bing, this makes them look really bad. Retorting with mumbo jumbo about secondary stuff like flights, business listings etc that

I know (should have included in my earlier response but editing would've felt weird) but I still assume one should run the result natively, so am asking if/where there's some jumping around required. Last time I tried running

I might be missing something. The article asks me to run a bash script on windows. I assume this would still need to be run manually to access GPU resources etc, so can someone illuminate what is actually expected for a windows user to make

I think you're trying to somehow include fancy concepts and bending your arguments to fit them, which is becoming a bit silly (No, Poe's law doesn't relate to the current conversation). I am not shifting goalposts. Note that

Don't accuse me of such BS. Especially when you're the one not doing research (No, disproven myths and a misleading, generalized LMGTFY don't count when we have specific, up-to-date info). Facts seem at best that Elon had a g

I don't think Elon has ever aimed to specifically be a "climate activist". His positive effects on the environment seem more of a side product from making the "crappy but sustainable, will be cool in 10-20 years at curre

My Bose NC700 ANC headphones are by far my most expensive peripheral, and once when they broke I bought new ones the next day, I gain so much from them. That said, as a programmer it annoys me I can't properly control the firmware. If

If this is the KGB tactic again, I _actually_ recommend just getting a therapist. It's their job to listen to you and not argue much. Not sure how it's with your country/employer, but you might be able to get them to pay it f

I hope this somehow backfires so badly that EU wakes up and somehow forces them to remove widevine to restore some semblance of an open web. One can hope.

Just a FYI your argument is that Elon got a Huge Head Start to his serial entrepreneurism just because someone in relation to him had a business 40+ years ago in South Africa. Far after which he lived almost as a destitute during his colleg

I actually asked due to genuine interest considering your position and angle might be anything, even illuminating. Now it's not much of anything. No backing, No argument. Just some lame personal attack? Seriously?

Yeah and Assange's been implicated of that too and all of them drink water. Trying to pull that kind of strings together on a conspiracy bulletin board with red eyes and shaggy hair in a dank cellar together doesn't really add val

From oracle, I only use an older version of Virtualbox and in cloud I only use their free VM tier (4 ARM cores & 12GB RAM) because it's the best current "permanent" offer out there. That said, I take care to not invest in

Even though StackOverflow in the common use case has been taken over by ChatGPT, I sincerely hope it keeps operating, stays strict (even if it causes collateral) and keeps ban on LLM-generated content. The wheels of this kind of stuff turn

Let's unpack. My original reply was to a comment saying Musk is just a money bag. The second comment I replied to was saying that Elon "giving himself" the Chief Engineer title doesn't change anything, effectively carryi

Do you know of another person that single-handedly revived EV's and ambitious human spaceflight at the same time? I want to know what planet you live on because I can't seem to find another one on mine.

Sure, you could state my comment is partially ad hominem. To clarify, saying "there's nothing else there" about Elon Musk, or any great inventor, or even a great villain, I consider too vacuous itself to merit a more pointed

I take it you didn't even check the links because they disprove your comment but instead took something completely irrelevant but dislikeable and are now trying to somehow connect it to the context with chewgum. Congratulations for mak

While you're not completely wrong, your estimation on replaceability of engineers in general isn't just "hey monster.com please send 5x general engineers my way" after you lose a few. Especially when it comes to senior p

You come off literally like a ChatGPT response to "make X look bad. he no leftie". You could go ahead and replace X with Steve Jobs, Wozniak, Carmack etc and your argument would make the same amount of sense, it's so detached

I mean this really doesn't sound that bad to non-stuck-up people. Elon is currently the greatest single person in tech fighting climate change and working towards providing a solution to a planet-level apocalypse while also being the 8

A gentle reminder that this easily digestible lie isn't true. A cursory look at Elon with a technically critical hat on proves this wrong. https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/eviden
