I don't use GTK, Qt because macOS provides its own UI toolkit (+electron etc). I don't use MySQL, I use Postgres (not copyleft). I don't use Blender. I use the default compiler of the OS, so I don't use gcc. macOS switch

Anti-theft features aren't anything to do with remote attestation, and this feature does not stop recycling the devices, it just means that only Apple can recycle them. Which would likely be true anyway due to how integrated the comp

That's partly a Java issue though, due to how streams are implemented. The same code in Kotlin is easy to debug.

You are correct, the author doesn't understand that which he attacks.

How does it follow though. Bootloader locking and remote attestation don't stop you recycling devices or even repurposing them. They stop you changing the OS stack to an unknown one and then using them for the exact same purposes as be

It failed, yes. If you want to go wide you could argue that all open source is "the Stallman movement" but given Stallman's noted hostility to other approaches than his own, that seems too much. The peak of GPLd software was

You would be trading one kind of "shit" for a much more real and serious kind of shit - at the new bank, you'd either be more likely to get your account drained in ways that are hard to reverse, or you'd be forced back t

It's a good historical retelling, and it has some unique ideas, but they seem rather milquetoast compared to the scale of the problem. Asking journals to split themselves into exploratory and authoritative isn't going to work in a

No, the problems were pretty much the same everywhere. The article is germane to all countries. Scientific authority was relentlessly abused everywhere and the trust issues are now global.

Yes, all the usual scaling issues, of course it assumes a compiler that doesn't spend all its time contending on one big lock or sitting in cache coherency because it's doing an atomic increment of a single shared counter. But onc

It's not illegal if you can convince the government to use force on your behalf. You don't even have to use force. Just erecting entry barriers is good enough. This is why business cartels can form even without using force (not ev

It actually is circular as written, especially the part where they claim that the source has a history of bad arguments. As there's no evidence they evaluated the argument at all, we can assume this history is also based on reasoning o

It's obvious that none of the people slamming the source here have ever read anything by these groups. You are all long on failed attempts at guilt by association, and short in explaining what any actual problems are. Honestly I think

Which would be a great explanation if there weren't drug wars in every other part of the world too, including left wing dictatorships like China.

I wonder how good this sort of chip would be for (parallel capable) compilers. They have lots of branchy cache-missy sort of code and can often scale up to a lot of threads if they're compiling a big problem.

That's the only mention of AI using content. So it can be read in a few ways: 1. They will sometimes use the data for training their RLHF stuff, to "prevent harmful use" of the services. 2. The clause is exhaustive and theref

The NVIDIA proprietary driver is about the same size compiled as the Linux kernel, iirc. The reason is, GPU drivers are basically complete operating systems, just for the secondary computer we call the GPU instead of the CPU.

It's incomplete but it does support C extensions and can run code with NumPy and other science modules. Their approach is unique which is why it can work (they proved out the idea with ruby already). They compile the modules with LLVM
