That doesn't make sense to me. It's already happening.

I have a PC mainly for Hauptwerk, which uses ilok, which doesn't run under Linux and probably never will. I've got an MBP, but getting one with 128GB of RAM was terribly expensive, and is probably unaffordable now. Hauptwerk doesn

That doesn't make sense. People let other people do the dirty work. Your imaginary Republican voter may or may not be capable of some action, but if that person voted for the persons executing that action, he or she cannot disclaim res

If they could have known or suspected those things, then yes, they bear the responsibility. And Trump's intentions were there for all to see.

Me too, but we are few. Google paid $585M in 2024. I don't think Mozilla can get 58 million users to pay $10 each. That might even exceed the FF user base. Even if they could, they would use it as extra money, not to get rid of Google.

Yeah, if everyone gave $10, that would get them at least $50.

For some tasks, this is absolutely true. We can identify e.g. a dog in picture in 100ms or so, and nobody is capable of explaining how. We can understand and speak languages, without the slightest idea of how it works. Maths is of course no

I don't think anyone has an implementation of macOS' audio and midi frameworks (and whatever else Logic links to; probably a lot). I would like to have Hauptwerk under Linux, but it uses ilok, and that's not going to happen a

I'm color blind. Most color schemes just fuck up reading. Or they hurt my eyes. I haven't found anything that really convinces me, although having some words in bold does help, but the number should be quite limited. I can see the

The parent gives the model access to passport and presumably other sensitive info. That's enough for a new Black Mirror episode.

I don't know your motivation, but your remarks do not match my reading of the article. The dismissed studies came from children in unrepresentative conditions (ignoring the fact that this kind of data is extremely noisy and that studie

Speakers, at least the great majority of them, are not flat. Can you not hear differences between speakers? Studio monitors typically aim for a flat response, but most barely make an acceptable approximation. And then we're not even di

Since LLMs tend to paraphrase what others have published about similar circumstances, chances are pretty high it will.

MacOS had it even earlier. I think it's because there's not a mature UI framework out there. They come, have their moment in the spotlight, and are replaced. There's also a ton of them. And they are often written by a very sm

Yes, there's a lot of bullshitting. I've recently changed banks, because the old one was just lip service. There are orgs that track how banks perform, at least here.

Not true. There are banks and funds that have environmental policies. Where you invest speaks about your character.

First, I agree that the researchers doing this are immoral. They're doing it for their careers, the world be damned. Second, quite a few of the current tech moguls with STEM degrees had their education ages ago, when there was still so

It's imitation, I think. Influencers traveling for clout isn't exactly new, and they got it from existing conventions on social media. So now everybody feels compelled to do the same, or they'll have something to explain.
