Possibly due to a misunderstanding of Debian, they probably think the release lifecycle is similar to Ubuntu LTS or RHEL.

I'm not sure how true this is or if it's a legend but I remember reading about this originating from Intel marketing in response to the rise of the popularity of RISC in the 1990s. In essence it intended to give the impression tha

I guess so, it just never occurred to me that X86 emulators would be in a legal gray zone.

by rany_ 3y ago
genuine question, why don't these protections apply to emulators? How could emulators get away with emulating x86 but chip manufacturers cannot use x86 for their chips without a license?

> people said that scraping/calling an API without service owners permission is not allowed I think it is legal, the API is public data and accessing it should be protected by the First Amendment as far as I know. Otherwise scrappin

Besides this boycott is at best useless, most are only going offline for 48 hours; it should be permanent until they reverse the decision if they were being sincere.

by rany_ 3y ago
Oh no, gone for 48-hours... That will show 'em! (meanwhile the Reddit IPO is in a few months..) It should be permanent if these boycotters want an effective outcome, but a 48-hours boycott sends the wrong message and just communicates

The article was referring to the original AVX1 not the subsequent variants. Likewise I was referring to the first set of extensions.

At any rate, doesn't this still mean that some application is using their microphone in this suspicious manner?

Yes it is. Back when my country wasn't supported I had to use a proxy to access it.

If anyone is interested, Intel has its own Linux distribution called Clear Linux which has all optimizations enabled. Of course this has the issue of not running on systems which cannot support all these optimizations, in particular, very f

by rany_ 3y ago
This is, at its core a software distribution problem. Windows, Linux distros, etc. must have a way wherein the OS requests to download a more optimized version of the package. I think this is most easily fixed for Linux distros, all it take

If it's a joke I don't think it's purposeful, the HTTP page loads a bot/spam site. Most likely they would have had the HTTPS page mirror HTTP if they had that HTTPS up and running.

by rany_ 3y ago
I think it's just a bot/spam site that does not have HTTPS enabled. Most likely the domain was taken over after the registrant did not renew.

> It isn't even that. ffmpeg and libav were two competing forks of the exact same project, not two distinct projects working to implement the same thing. But given enough time they would become very distinct.

It probably is. I'd bet for 99.99% of their users, simply using the API directly would be much cheaper. The ChatGPT premium subscription is overpriced if you compare it to the cost of each API call.. at least according to OpenAI's

Did you actually just compare essentials with a ChatGPT subscription? You're beyond disconnected....

It has fixed the issue. I got the March update with the fix a few days ago.

That attribution is only for Bing's AI and in my experience doesn't work too well. In any case, I prefer that it exists and for it to work 10% of the time than it not existing at all.

Somehow this makes me less impressed and excited by GPT-4. I was expecting it to be better than Bing Chat.

I'm not that cynical. They could just drop E2EE from their product and call it a day. It wouldn't make much of a difference for them.

MD5 signatures don't mean much now that hash collisions could be created instantly on consumer hardware. MD5 is only good for checking for unintentional data corruption.

This is not as stupid as it sounds. Car repossession agents are regularly victims of violence and get guns drawn at them because often times, the person being delinquent on their payments is not the friendliest person out there... I persona

The only thing I dislike about submodules is that older repos have remotes that no longer exist. So I'm left with an incomplete clone because I can't find the submodules anywhere. Otherwise I don't mind them and will continue

Actual Thunderbird users don't care about the UI. That made up quote probably applies to someone that just gave Thunderbird a try though and left disappointed.
