It's bizarre. In Japan, the custom is to revere your elders, in the US its apparently whoever is titled "leader". All of HN shivers in exaltation at the mention of the word. The reality is that Firefox would have done much be

They rolled out the Chrome "kill adblockers" update globally then unleashed the new wave of YouTube "anti-adblock" a month later. While in a literal losing court case thats suggesting Chrome be split out from Google as a

And then 10s later the switches magically fixed themselves? The likely not electronically connected switches since that would compromise engine redundancy?

Maybe instead of making up absurd conspiracy theories about "the right judge" and "very strange news" you should recognize that this is proceeding as any other civil suit and that if you want to have privacy in the perso

Why are these things always so deeply unserious? Is there no one working on "safety in AI" (oxymoron in itself of course) that has a meaningful understanding of what they are actually working with and an ability beyond an interns

Hardly a sophisticated high tech HFT operation. Totally illegal of course, except in places that maybe don't have the regulatory rigeur.

It seems Python has firmly reached its "Wikipedia notability" era, with busybodies that code little but discuss much dominating and ruining all progress. They make up stuff that reads insane to anyone doing actual work, like the &

That's the problem with open source, a bunch of people who once in their life want to "do it right" (right never comes). No adults in the room to say "this is what you got". From a billion python packages in distrib

HP is literally the company that will charge a laptop battery to 100% by default for a little bit more runtime on a random product test but exponentially less longevity. All the shitty HP office laptops at my last job would without fail hav

Doesn't the thesis assume you are the one sending out the OFDM signal, while the OP is about a passive radar thing? Maybe I got one of those mixed up.

I think I'm living in a parallel universe. You can tell an LLM in a million ways what "tools" it can "call". Anthropic & co standardized a shitty variant so they have an uniform way of letting others play in the

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding here. War crimes are not judged by what a diligent investigation after the fact might find. It hinges on the information and judgement by those acting in the moment. You are a soldier told the

Thats why the government can just skip ahead and call the Supreme Court, and then the Supreme Court lifts it because apparently being unable to do illegal things is Irreparable Harm (actually makes a mockery of the concept of course). In th

The same people that claim using all of humanities creation is fair use want you to pay for a bunch of MatMul inputs that are unrecognizable to anyone after quantizing them yourself.

The same software that wants to use namespaces for isolation will refuse to run as root.

Actually I think device drivers got you beat there, but no ones suggesting we break them for users safety. Ubuntu today is more user hostile than Windows.

Ironically Ubuntu 24 now blocks users from accessing namespaces because that kernel interface had a bunch of local privilege escalations, breaking programs that want to use them for isolation.

Thats the paranoid answer. The much simpler answer is that you don't maintain the software on it; updates are done silently by whatever the hardware vendor decides passes their muster (or motive).

It also doesn't mention what numbers we are even talking about that given the expansive size of the Dutch government make this an at all useful thing.

Spare us the "woe is me" for they literally invented replacing the publishers. Yesterday its infoboxes, today its shitty AI summaries. Which is still the case, so good riddance.

Thats hardly unique to Europeans. Look at UAV regulations in the US - regulated to death based on nothing, leading to a 5 to 10 year technology gap to China, while recreational pilots crash and burn every other week.
