I had a weird feeling back in late 2007 when iPod touch launched and I had to run the jailbreak tool written by someone astronomically above my paygrade to get custom apps running on it. It was first real-computer-class-computer I had that

A lot of phones nowadays are glued shut, you'll budget for a trained repair tech to do that. They also use the battery as a giant capacitor to absorb spike draws that wall chargers cannot provide, so the modified device will need that

You can't win this argument. Your comments probably require prior exposure to art to understand.

I'd argue it's not even that. AI generated data all has malocious/hostile undertones that affect sanity of both users and viewers. The situation appears to be getting better especially in Chinese open weight models, but it ha

A lot of people are confused and/or behave defensive and hallucinate copyright issues(which is real, but IMO not the reason why artistic or creative AI contents aren't accepted). It's just not good enough. AI art generators a

No one explains it this way for some reason, but USB-C "60W" is more like USB-C 20V . All USB C-to-C cables are supposed to be rated to something like 600V by laws and common sense, and 3A by USB-C spec. 20V x 3A = 60W. USB-C in

Inertia? It's the standardized method on macOS. Macs have been this way at least since early 90s. InstallShield likewise had been normal on Windows since early 90s, so the modern MSI installers feel more normal and straightforward to W

I don't even know if this is going to be a big or a tiny ask, and I don't know if I'm going to end up with this beautiful product at all, but just in case it's going to be trivial to do so, could you add an option or ext

Or it could be a sign that they finally found the right customer and the fraction of absolutely wasted capacity is finally coming down!

Purely an akchally, but there is the Fujitsu F-07C. Topologically it was a Windows 7 stick PC duct taped to a 3G flip phone that acts like a KVM console and a modem.

Makes sense. I don't know this guy meant well or not, but his goals and actions didn't seem well coordinated or aligned with neither of the platform inertia or his boss's vision(the latter of which being is to let impoverishe

I wonder if these as well as "there is so much Elon hate" template comments are just his cronies projecting. Musk seem to have some irrational one-sided grudges on just about everything in the world.

One thing about East Asian yellow tint in skin is that there really isn't such a thing. Asian base skin color is same as Europeans, if slightly more reddish or slightly more fatty or whatnot, but more or less within margins of error. I

yeah, skin tone variations often feels it's about limiting lighter tone options while adding luminosity options for the exact same brown color. There seem to be B channel differences across darker colored people, and I wouldn't be

I think you're referring to a different part of the same phenomenon as GP - the current big tech moderation feels a bit like using the shape of a crescent moon shape to cover a square.

System of education? The current form of it have nudges and blockers everywhere to stop population explosion leading us all into Soylent Green type situation.

That's so stupid that it makes total sense. Why can't they just hit deep South Asian scam malls and order a few "pigs" if that's what they want... the whole thing is so low effort. Thanks.

Is Palantir obsessed with medical records? If so why? This is worrying as there recently was a change in the Japanese PII law, relatively unceremoniously passed and enacted, that reclassify mass PII collection including medical data collect

Latin alphabet transcription of East Asian languages tend to be incredibly lossy and there tends to be a lot of ambiguities. That Vietnamese surname of Nguyen is formally written as Nguyễn in the current script, or as 阮 in the old adapted H

Not badly so because MoE models(identifiable by "CoolName-xxxB-AxxB" naming scheme) have bunch of branches in the middle that only one out of all gets non-zero values. Each of branches aka "Experts" as well as top/b

But they're reportedly a soft nerfed GA100 64GB/40GB at $1200, that's not more expensive and certainly can't be slower than a Mac Studio.

Banking RAM is most simply done by physically wiring RAMs in parallel and routing Chip Select/Chip Enable pins individually from GPIO. People were doing it in PDAs until late 00s. Also, I/O ports on these old machines and CPUs up

Yeah, here I am sitting deeply deeply deeply regretting not buying couple CMP 170HX at $200 or $350, knowing I could just flip them ethically at purchase price if nothing came of it... I could have just casually built a 128GB dual A100 loca

There isn't much interesting about a rocket engine other than it's rocket science and it's awesome if it works. A basic mockup of one is in PrusaSlicer sample files.

That's close to what I had in mind, but relay architecture is not enough; people will "abuse" the relays, and relay server operators will find it uncomfortable. Relays shouldn't be hosting content at all.

Yep, it's been more than 48 hours since the quake, and casualty reports so far has been just 30(with hundreds hospitalized and some still trapped under wrecks). It's 3.6 roentgen situation, but for real.
