My mind is boggled at the speed with which an object that size is travelling. Amazing.

Well why not? Is there supposed to be a single elected shell for Linux? Powershell on Linux is just one of plenty others.

Are soldiers dumb automatons though? I struggle to imagine them looking forward to the prospect of firing on American citizens.

It's a curious own goal by Musk. I would imagine that Tesla have pretty detailed profile data on the average Tesla customer. Surely there were pretty clear signals that a significant number of those people would vote with their wallets

I'm excited about this. Think of all of your favorite novels that are deemed "impossible" to adapt to the screen. Or think of all the brilliant ideas for films that are destined to die in the minds of people who will never, e

Wonder how Elon is going to explain this away. All this has done is pushed Grok waaaaaay down the list of preferred AI chat bots. They are all untrustworthy but Grok is clearly egregiously so.

Ok so I've just done this and got the same result. It's plenty fast. And this is a pretty average laptop. Dell, Intel Core i7 with 16GB of RAM. In fact it's Windows 11 Home edition. Now I bet if I tried this same test on my

I just opened Word and Excel after a cold start of the OS (Windows 11) Both opened fully in a second. So just how much faster should these apps actually open? I suspect this is aimed at Enterprise installations where the machines are gunked

It's darkly humorous how conservative politicians keep gaslighting people by stating that this was the mandate of the people.

Every once in a while for a good chuckle I visit r/UFOs or r/aliens where people go gaga over blurry videos of balloons in the sky. I've never understood how that stuff seems to capture the imagination more than actual scienc

>Community was in revolt >Dozens of users publicly cancelled A bit hyperbolic, no? Last I read they have over 400,000 paying users.

Such a brilliant idea all the same. A shame that the economics never seemed to work.

Perhaps because they know it wouldn't matter. It's not like there is a ready drop in replacement for things people desire from the US.

Makes sense. Anyone with even half a brain wouldn't take the risk of getting caught up in this ICE nonsense.

I believe there is certainly some hubris involved in their projected timeline but I think at least part of that is due to a belief that we have much, much better tooling today than was available to teams that attempted this sort of thing ba

I've seen too many people think this move will be a total disaster. I think it'll be a very bumpy ride but ultimately the team will succeed. Besides "liberal sabotage" is a ready made retort for any mishaps along the way

Haven't used X in a long while. But from what I hear it's pretty stable again. So job done for this guy. Off to new challenges. Not much of a story to be honest.

Well, I'm pretty blown away. Especially when you realize that this release will probably get blown out of the water in less than a years time.

I knew that them branding their AI strategy as Apple Intelligence was risky. Because now the perception is that "Apple Intelligence" is something distinct from the state of the art.

A book that has pride of place on my shelf. I found myself speed-reading through the drama surrounding the human beings so I could slowly savour the progress of the spider civilization. A truly wonderful work of sci-fi

Remember Jobs coining the phrase "Post PC era". Good times. There was a period of about two, maybe three years where you saw nothing but tablets outdoors. Now it's very rare for me to see someone tapping away at an iPad out i

I'm not clear on why Trump threatened that Zelensky was risking a world war. It seems to me that Trump and Putin are effectively allies at this point so what exactly would trigger World War 3 in his mind.

400 reasons is impressive but the real test is what number could you get up to compiling a similar list for GCP or AWS.
