you are right, but you are misplacing the blame. it's not that you dont own your phone, it's that you dont own your bank account and the bank can dictate how you access it

the banks would care. less money spent on security or dealing with clients who had their money stolen

remember how all of HN and tech people were saying that DNT is a Micro$oft scam designed to break privacy because it was enabled by default without requiring user action? to the point that Apache web server developers added a custom rule in

we can use AI to rewrite everything in Rust this way all the RAM that AI data centers scoop up will be used to lessen demand for RAM that those same datacenters created net-zero RAM!

that's not enough, the tool definitions change, the agent harness changes, you need to pin a lot of stuff

sure, but you can have more memory controllers (I/O dies), like threadripper

bus wires. you can route only so many of them on a motherboard. it's why GPUs have their memory chips in a circle around the GPU chip.

oracle free tier seems to be 1GB RAM. why dont you run the VM on your machine?

when the agent pushes the PR, in a branch, you can switch to that branch locally on your machine and do whatever, review it, change it, and ask for extra modifications on top, squash it, rebase it

OK, i didn't know switching to Clicks requires so much time, I assumed using it is natural, I imagined is just a "raised 3D" touch keyboard. but if it's like using a Dvorak and a Qwerty at the same time, it makes sense i

the thing you need to trust is that pressing that combination shows the legit OS stuff, that it can't be intercepted (Secure Attention Key). how the OS implements what is displayed is irrelevant windows has all kinds of virtualizations

what has gone horribly wrong is the native UIs. they are completely worthless, across all OSes - difficult to use, limited, and in general suck compared to HTML/CSS. I've worked with all major GUI frameworks, from MFC to Qt, they

you are arguing with math proofs here, the information is not gone, if it was a real video (as opposed to adversarily generated video)

some people type a lot, chatting, writing emails not sure if that makes them a power user why do you equate second device with digital detox? what happened to use the best tool for the job? use a phone with a physical keyboard when chatting

yes, it can run IG and Tiktok, but you'll have a bad experience due to the screen aspect ratio, and small screen size the power user base you mention is probably too small to sustain them long term

for video there is another constraint - time hardware encoders (like the ones in GPUs) typically work realtime-ish, so they do minimal exploration of encoding space you also have the one-pass/two-pass thing which is key for unlocking h

do you have so little agency that you can't stop yourself from installing TikTok? what will stop you then from keeping your existing TikTok phone after buying this?

people still need their IG and TikTok you can fight that, and lose (no market) or accept second device status (for werk), optimize that use case, and be honest that it will not be the main device

this is exactly what "higher" compression levels do (among other things like bigger dictionary) - they try harder, more iterations, to find the optimum combination of available knobs for a particular chunk of data.

if you really care about structured output switch to XML. much better results, which is why all AI providers tend to use pseudo-xml in their system prompts and tool definitions

what if I told you the same issue is true for lossless plain compression like .zip files the compressor (encoder) decides exactly how to pack the data, it's not deterministic, you can do a better job at it or a worse one which is why w

it's not gone, just more difficult to extract video has certain temporal statistics which can allow you to fit the missing information only true blurred white noise is impossible to recover

YCrCb can also be better for HDR or not - 4:2:2 vs 4:4:4 if you expand limited YCrCb to a large HDR range you'll get a "blurred" output. Imaging converting 1 bit image (0 or 1, black or white pixel) to full range HDR RGB - it
