this is interesting. but i’d be more interested to see a graph starting at the point when developers got their own computer. then the price of ram over time for whatever the daily functional workstation a developer would have needed then. i

please don’t answer in questions. state specifically what you mean so we can discuss what your point is, not guess what it is you’re implying with vague questions.

i occasionally come across some of the forums and online groups of landlords and the things they have to deal with, particularly in cities with strong protections for the tenants and its interesting to watch the perspectives. on one hand i

well yes, you indicate all of the moderation should be handled on the visitors end. i’m saying if the site owner is specifically intending the visitor to have a certain experience designed by the site owner themselves, then clients choosin

more than anything it’s just signal to noise ratios. i’m so sick of people just adding dipshit noise to every single place they can and making it impossible to have normal ass conversation. at the end of the day, these people need to realiz

on the other hand, if someone is making their own site, they may care about the user impression their site gives to visitors. i would think they should have the freedom on the site they build and host to choose the impression they give. an

this issue was found specifically because these things are open source. the ethos of open source is that bugs and malicious code are more likely to be spotted. we’re discussing this on hn right now strictly because the code is open, the abu

steamos is not a rolling release. yes, it’s built on arch, but they halt with snapshots and do testing and their own patches before they roll out updates.

sure, but you have to jump through hoops to make it work. the only distro blackmagic supports is rockyos. they don’t want to build against and support hundreds of distros so they work specifically against rocky. to save developer time. my p

i’d love to see blackmagic jump in with steamos as their main distro. i think they build for rockyos currently but… if they jump to building davinci resolve (and its new lightroom style photo editing) on steamos rather than rocky.. this wou

appreciate the response. i’ve already moved on tho. microsoft just destroyed the little bit of good will i had towards them. i’d already been dual booting for years anyway. and honestly, while not perfect, linux has come so far that the pro

this is why ive finally ditched windows for everything. ive been a dual boot linux user for years, but still booting into windows for games and work. no more, i just couldn’t take the: - constant nagging - ads for all of microsoft’s other s

repeatedly we see them cause the problem then complain about it. destroy the tools to make government more effective then complain that government is ineffective.

for the same reason we want to know who wrote an article, a book, a movie, a song, a play, a journal paper, a painting, and on and on. why do you so many people want to hide who the real author is? we should be very weary of anyone claiming

i ignored this for the last week. but after enough people who’s opinions i trust wouldn’t shut up about it, i caved and watched today. this is fucking bonkers. part 2 (and i don’t say this often) is f’ing crazy. i was like, “a story about

i think we could say with a high level of certainty that someone with a subpar output will typically be punished in some way. it feels very disingenuous to pretend there aren’t expectations of a certain level of output.

by toofy 5mo ago
it’s absolutely news worthy. we do (and absolutely should) have higher expectations of the head of one of the most powerful organizations in the world. said organization that goes after malicious actors makes it even more newsworthy.

the real question if you’re attempting to imply what i think you’re implying should be: how many human driven cars decided not to drive through vs how many waymo’s decided the same?

as a jedi you’re surely wise enough to understand that closed source has just as many vulnerabilities if not more. open source will get fixed while closed will not.

i’ll second this. if you haven’t seen hypernormalisation yet, it’s absolutely worth watching. you can usually find it circling on youtube in various places, just make sure you don’t watch one of the weird copies, the comments will usually

if an llm does the work, you did not write it or research it, the llm did. you have no business crediting yourself as an author. if someone writes a paper and an entirely different person takes credit for it without even bothering to check

this eye thing will never work. people in general are realizing the last people we should trust with our personal stuff are tech bro billionaires. they’ve broken trust too many times. even worse many of them are just plain vocal about thei

if someone doesn’t want ai on their devices, you think it’s a double standard that they’re annoyed when it’s installed anyway? i’m not anti-ai by any stretch, but to pretend like their personal choices don’t matter is a bit too dismissive.
