TIL. That's a neat standard and I'm glad it exists, it's an interesting reflection of what opt-in ethical frameworks can look like. For every reasonable and non-authoritarian suggestion I read for regulating AI, I feel like I

Seriously, I'd also really appreciate some examples of moderate AI ethicists. The vocal minority is all I've heard so far, and their arguments sound closer to fiction than science.

iMessage's problem is that it is functionally an SMS replacement, but architecturally nothing like SMS. If you wanted to extend iMessage so that other companies could support and pay for their own hardware on it, you couldn't. It&

Is my phone a business, or hardware that I own? That seems to be in contention here.

That's not really an issue, as European lawmakers have demonstrated.

You can use KeePass on iCloud, I'm pretty sure. I use it on Syncthing without issue, it should be service-agnostic. The experience has been pretty great in my experience, but it mostly depends on the quality of the client and backend y

I've had good instant coffee before, but I don't think it's appropriate to say "perfect cup" and "water soluble" in the same breath. Maybe I just haven't tried your Skunkworks black-project freeze-tri

In fairness, nothing stops cryptocurrencies from cooking the books either. A public blockchain is only as trustworthy as the code it runs, and with L2 chains and inter-chain bridges it's a goddamn mess. You're correct that due dil

Which part is FUD? It sounds like Marcan is acknowledging that this is a hardware issue, and refuting the idea that it's unpatchable by proposing software limitations to avoid upsetting the IOMMU. It seems like the bug will persist at

Iunno. I'm not sympathetic to either side really, but after a certain point regulating digital currency is outside the US's purview of control. They can regulate the exchanges for fraud pretty easily, but fully regulating P2P cryp

Breville and De'Longhi are both pretty reputable designers of budget espresso machines. I haven't got much experience with the others, but coffee-wise there isn't a ton of difference between a $150 machine's espresso sho

Word to the wise; a cheap 15 bar portafilter espresso system will make your everyday average black coffee (a-la Americano) along with the frothy drinks if you have a foaming wand. You'll spend less on better-tasting coffee, and can tra

Totally, duly noted. Do try out Digital Combat Simulator when Mac figures out the whole DirectX thing though, it's a must-see on recent machines. Ciao!

Pity that Khronos never got the support they needed to make cross-platform raster APIs a reality. I mean really, what an enormous and crying shame that a successor to a highly-demanded API like OpenGL never emerged. It's really qui

That description is pretty hyperbolic. The SteamOS UI (eg. the Steam Deck-looking part) is very broken on Nvidia right now, but the actual gaming part (eg Proton and the Steam launcher) works fine. If you just want to play mouse-and-keyboar

Maybe they should look into it then, asking developers if you can update their codebase on HN probably won't help users very much.

If they got depreciated once, it's gonna happen again. Apple should invest in Microsoft-tier backwards compatibility if they want to avoid publishers abandoning their software.

My biggest issue with Mac-only shops is that almost nobody actually deploys to Mac. The majority of Mac-only firms I've worked at deploy to x86 Linux and develop in a VM on their Macbook (even pre-M1). Unless your business is writing
