I read the comment more as a criticism of Bluesky ("nobody actually uses it [except California liberals?]") than a criticism of Mississippi.

Yes, gacha games are always seeking the most optimal path from the player's wallet to the corporate checking account.

It was. All Windows kernel drivers are. Microsoft doesn't do any auditing besides "is this the most obvious malware?"

A web server is really only going to be running 3 things: init, sshd, and the web server software. Even if we give init and sshd half of 128 MB, there's still 64 MB left for the web server.

128MB is more than enough to run Debian and serve a static site. I had no issue with doing it a decade ago and it still works fine. How much memory do you think it actually takes to accept a TLS connection and copy files from disk to a sock

That won't work, because garbage data is filtered after the full dataset is collected anyway. Every LLM trainer these days knows that curation is key.

Windows 95 could stay up for a maximum of 49.7 days, provided that no horribly-written driver or application took down the system sooner.

Ironic you think that. Usually saying anything positive about AI gets you downvotes, and critics are upvoted. People even post and upvote articles from Gary Marcus and Ed Newton-Rex without a hint of jest.

This is the key. The problem with a dictatorship has never been that they are inherently bad, but because they are extremely unreliable long term. Even a "good" dictator that does almost everything perfectly will only be around fo

The way C3[0] handles this is fairly interesting. An function returning an optional in C3, such as: fn int? run_operation_by_id(int id); Would be equivalent to the following in C: /* ABI type definitions omitted for brevi

I don't know. It looks like every battery recycling facility I've seen before: piles of non-descript objects with unreadable labels, machines with unreadable signs posted on them, etc.

It's awfully bold to claim that the US is obsessed with making rules, and China isn't. China is similarly full of rules (in fact, likely moreso), but they have less rule of law, so they aren't enforced consistently. The US ha

PayPal is terrible for merchants, quite frankly, and often consumers at times. I don't understand why many people love them so much. There's a good reason many places don't accept PayPal nowadays.

Yes, but a non-custodial wallet isn't anything resembling a bank. What you're arguing is basically that a (traditional) wallet manufacturer should be liable if you misplace your wallet and have all your cash stolen.

The point of non-custodial wallets is that the developer does not have your private keys, so they don't control your funds. While it's possible for the software to have bugs, remember that almost all software is already provided A

I don't know why Perplexity in particular gets everyone in a nit. It's not even particularly special: a user inputs a query, an AI model does a web search and fetches some pages on the user's behalf, and then it serves the re

The UK is politically, culturally, and geographically close to Europe. China has always been authoritarian (and hyper-centralized). The US is working hard to copy bad ideas from authoritarians, but can't do it in exactly the same way,
