I vaguely recall (many years ago) some GPU (a Matrox one iirc) coming out and it being a huge deal because of how many transistors it had. I think it may have been an amazing 100 million. Times have changed :D

Go to your message client, type in a url (say a tweet on twitter) and send it, most clients these days include a preview, and that's the load you're seeing.

When you share links with people, many (most? at this point) include previews. Those previews are performed on the sender side, e.g. the person sharing the link. The "Sharing" view is part of macOS and iOS, not part of the browser

First off, the share menu is an OS feature, not part of Safari. So this isn't Safari doing anything other than sending the URL to the share sheet, and the person has selected to share through a medium that allows previews. When you sen

Ok, so people want previews with links, it's been around for a while. Generally at least a page title + favicon, if not the actual summary text. That's a feature that has been supported for years, and while it's interesting t

This reminds me of "we only harvest X ebony trees" nonsense when what they mean is "we only _buy_ X amount of ebony, and we pay more for pure black, so people cut down many trees to find the relatively rare pure black ones&qu

EBCDIC was obsolete in the 90s, and people in Europe have had names that EBCDIC couldn't spell since at least then (technically true! :D). The issue is that whatever bottom of the barrel priced contractor they used gave them a "ch

You have a full width red light, that you turn off when braking, in the vague hope the small red lights in the corner show up more. Which they don't: I had to watch the video multiple times to actually understand the behaviour. So they

No, prop13 was meant to stop businesses and the rich from paying real property taxes (because businesses and trusts generally don't sell the property itself so never incur actual inflation values). It was sold to people as a way to sto

Toyota killed off the Yaris and Prius C (I think simultaneously so I assume they shared the chassis or something?).

It's already illegal in CA, and I can't imagine laws in other states being significantly different. (let's ignore the idiocy of allowing red indicator lights in the US)

CHP should just pull them over for faulty lighting, as this seems a direct violation of CA vehicle codes: Section 24602: (f) All stoplamps shall be plainly visible and understandable from a distance of 300 feet... (g) Stoplamps shall be a

Same BS as usual, failing to control for where, when, and how crashes and incidents occur will alway make self driving look safer: they disable themselves in pretty much every situation where crash rates increase: night, rain, types of road

Never quit in response a change in work conditions, if they no longer want to have you as a remote worker they can fire you, but none of this BS “implied quitting” it’s just an attempt to get out of legally required compensation.

You know that authenticating something is a very simple and self contained operation right? Like it’s not hard to do it without memory safety issues. The overwhelming majority of attacks on cryptography are poor protocols, not anything else
