We are lucky we don't need to transfer (so much) data over these. Just imagine looking for Gen 2x2 or Gen 2 SuperSpeed charging station.

Interesting but that doesn't scratch the itch. I imagine something more like crude metalurgist dwarves, assembling a neutrino detector sized ball shaped room, 1 kilometer underground, with demon core shaped device suspended on detonati

To be honest it does feel AI generated for me. Most likely because AI was trained on such art styles. Props to the artist though.

Unfortunately banks act on regulations. I'd much rather suggest avoiding banks altogether but that's discussion for later.

If the push is large enough, manufacturers will develop their own drivers. If not, the implementation should be much easier nowadays.

Windows Phone was a great idea and worked so well. But it was killed by the fact that people didn't want to maintain apps for 3 platforms. Nowadays when most of the things runs on web/electron anyway, isn't this the time to r

I meant user experience as a whole including browser and proprietary apps. The amount of ads I perceive a day using my PC can be counted on my fingers. And it's not just something we would consider calling ads, but just the clutter on

I daily drive linux (arch btw) with all the adblocking bells and whistles and I was dumbfounded when I saw my grandma's PC with all the clutter and ads. Really makes you miss the old era.

I think that even if we count init scripts which are way different level of complexity than C LoC, the Systemd would still be larger. Especially if we count just the scripts that are deployed.

Just the PID 1 manager is multiple times larger in LoC than any alternative. There is no metric in which systemd is more lightweight that I could find.

Until it breaks, reports error, leaks, makes weird sound, needs a maintenance or even if you want to move it. You need to know how heavy it is, where are mounting points, where is the center of gravity, what needs to be affixed etc. What is

This all sound like PID tuning guide

Maybe, but the scale of systemd features is humongous. It better be well documented. You don't need a user manual for hammer, you do need one for hydraulic press.

We shot thousands of tiny cubes into a heights people thought heaven would reside. Then we communicate with them at the speeds of "The whole data storage of 2000's computer" per second. They survive radiation, accelerations a

The reason why Europe doesn't have this is the regulation.

I love how claude focuses on exfiltrating the data "I need cha for charlotte". This could be solvable with some kind of low powered safety agent that would check claude's reasoning for anything immoral/unsafe. We could c

I'm sometimes baffled how people's knee jerk reaction is to think how to ban this. And yet those same people complain about their parents that claimed that Rock'n'Roll or DnD should be banned because it's satanic. T

AI is just a tool. It will be a tool as we constantly push the requirements of what qualifies as consciousness. Therefore I'm not worried about it. Almost all the predictions about future growth of technology were incorrect. We don&#x2

This is whole a slippery slope. Always building on assumption of infinite exponential growth. But every exponential is at a certain point a sigmoid.

You could just flag whatever you don't like as child porn. It would get taken down instantly and you'll get effectively silenced by presumption of guilt. Yes you might appeal, but at that time your content might not be relevant an

I admit UK wasn't the best example as now it's freedom of speech is maybe worse than in Russia or China. But I feel like public does not trat it as the biggest issue of the UK at the moment. Let's say Denmark for example.

You can benefit much more as a corrupt politician, as the blame is diluted between the whole government. Single king is responsible for it's actions and we even have a word for throwing them out of the window if they misbehave. It&#x27

The best level of democracy is no democracy. The problem of voting for road repairs is a problem we created by democracy. We voted ourselves into a system we can't escape, just because people back in the days couldn't fully compre
