   I beg your pardon. :) I already explained that I did my part and the result was hopeless. Perhaps you should do your part, too. Don't bother arguing on Hacker News, because it has no material effect on the EU population outside the nar

   This "bad behavior" could easily regress into encrypted files stored on CD-R discs and distributed via the postal service at any time. However, we will all suffer from an invasion of privacy due to constant, non-transparent online

   I know there are some countries that are surprisingly sane in this respect, and Germany is one of them. Also, the EU parliament is probably still mostly against it, too. So it will certainly be some time before this happens. However, we sho

   As both an EU citizen and a computer programmer, I applaud this article, and I generally agree with its sentiment. But let's be realistic. Chat control is going to happen sooner or later. This is a Hacker News forum. The audience here

   A super heavy overconfidence of any LLM is what confuses a lot of people.

   Yes, LLM is a lossy encyclopedia with a human-language answering interface. This has some benefits, mostly in terms of convenience. You don't have to browse or read through so many pages of a real encyclopedia to get a quick answer.

   Apparently there is only a single country from the list where Google is not the first player: Russia (Yandex). China and most Asia are not listed. And the only country where Google has less than 90% market share and the 2nd options is not

    At least the Reaper has a quite readable "rpp" XML project file. So this probably works nicely. Other that that, versioning DAW projects is a pure hell. It would require to version control all samples, plugins, configurations, etc

    Thanks! So now the article actually makes sense to me. It would be nice to have this important clarification in the article itself. I'm not saying that a careful reader can't infer this point from the article even now, but I'

    Perhaps we should stop viewing iOS/Android devices as true general-purpose computing devices. They are merely gadgets, like Walkmans, portable CD players, game consoles, blood pressure meters, car infotainment systems, etc. They contai

    This seems like an overly academic exercise. Can the compiler, or even the operating system, guarantee that the threads `a`, `b`, and `c` are started in that order? I don't think so. The OS might start executing thread `a` on one CPU c
