Yes, and that machine was exceptionally good; by far the best laptop i ever owned: mate screen, good keyboard, small and lightweight for the time, and exceptionally open and well supported for Linux despite being a mips arch. I would gladly

So that's what it is, isn't it? A FUD campaign against the old political rival who is now dying and unable to defend himself? I guess there is no point for me asking you if you even cared to look at the "evidence ".

Those datacenters are the moai of our time; if you step back, it's interesting to watch.

Are you reacting with as much intensity when you walk past any scientific work older than 20 years?

My guess is better road design means less miles driven by cars (as opposed to other, safer vehicles) and therefore fewer accidents overall, even if car crash statistics remain the same.

Aren't tcpdump and wireshark based on libpcap which itself uses ebpf to compile and run packet filters? How is cerberus different?

Yes, integer sizes, float sizes, endianess, alignment requirement...

So it's not really a serialization format, it's a compact, modifiable untyped tree, that one can therefore send to another machine with the same architecture. Or deserialise into native language specific data structures. Don'

The demographics have nothing to do with that, the economic incentive is what changed when it becomes mainstream.

I, for one, am dreaming of AI assisted ad removal, content summaries, bookmarks automatic classification...

Maybe, but there are some things that, when they do not work, easily give the impression that someone somewhere hasn't done his job properly, because it looks simple and easy from the point of view of the user but in reality are quite

Scheduling trains is a complex problem involving many parameters, but the public see only one facet of it: is my train delayed or not? Of course delays depend on budget and investments, and bureaucracy. But not only. For instance, comparing

Would you mind naming the exact field or the topic of the conference? Because of course "science" is a term that's been quite often usurped by all kind of snake oil sellers, but that's nothing new is it?

Could you leave us some hints about what you are alluding to ? Or even better, clearly and honestly spell out what you actually think?

Both the most vulgar and selfish interest, and the most principled passions, seems to play a role in history at different times. The most important contributing factor, though, is selfish interest of large groups of people, because the sun

I do not disagree with that assessment, but maybe one can hope that at some point we evolve past this "us versus them" mentality that we inherited from the savannah? If so, it's worth pushing for it.

It was bad already, so who cares if that gets worse? Is that the message? Silicon valley uses that information to sell adds, and sometimes votes. Not great, but I can imagine much worse from a State.

Your comment sounded how an instance of copilot would complain to its coleagues and for a moment I pictured OpenAI being just a large scam based on an army of mechanical turks :)

I wholeheartedly agree; But I also understand why, to those failing to change (or to change as fast as they would want), it can sound patronizing to hear that "it's all about your mindset". It's important to start by ack

I've seen similar behavior. I can understand that the relief that comes with having finaly a label put on the box one feels trapped into; But then the goal should be to climb out of that box. A diagnosis is only good if it helps fight

Funny how the choice of an analogy can set bounds to the set of accepted solutions. Instead of trudging through the desert, or escaping a sinking ship, or surviving in a dog eat dog jungle, I prefer to compare modern society with a large bo

I think we are too quick to believe this move is motivated by the threat of Russia suddenly unleashing hordes of tanks over Europe, so here is some data. Let's compare Russia's forces with that of Germany+Poland+UK+France+Italy+Sp

To add to what nicbou said, I would like to question the idea that the best way to defend a country is to enlist and fight a war. At the contrary, many are of the opinion that to defend Europe we have to oppose this recent trend of spending

From my point of view, the advantage of those blog platforms is that I don't have to build and maintain my own set of bookmarks. I'm happy to delegate that to the recommendation system.

Match what's been reported by some Bataclan attack survivors: not only you had to play dead, but your phone had to play dead too.

Quite commonly required by law in Europe; but often times not implemented very seriously by hosting providers, but Germany seems to be an exception. I remember a time in France for instance, about 15years ago, it was mandatory to provide yo

Yes there is some bureaucratic paper churn to deal with them, but it's a one time cost. I did it once probably more than 10 years ago. Since then, login to the website takes me <10s (with OTP) every couple of days and then finding w
