I got my laserjet secondhand 10 years ago. It was already 10 years old at this time. It's been low on toner since the beginning but shaking the toner cartridge is usually enough to get usable prints the few times a year I need it (retu

Do you have a source for 1-2.5kWh for 10s of content? It takes about a minute or two to generate, so you'd be talking about a GPU consuming 30_000W-150_000W, it's just not possible. Even if it was distributed (which I don't t

App-only mode on android tv has a giant ad banner before the apps icons. It's much better than regular mode, but it's still a giant ad. It's been the case on all my Android TV devices. If you don't see it then I guess it

GP said the benefits of walking barefoot are "feels good, increases your connection to your surroundings, and slows you down." In that context it seems like barefoot shoes would still work. They are essentially foot condoms, so yo

The flood of low effort AI-contributions makes accepting anonymous contributions impractical nowadays. They'd waste hours reviewing things of no value. I know because it happened to several of my moderately successful projects. At some

I think you're being a bit pedantic. A go-to thing means it's a sensible default choice and has no little to no downsides (versus not using compression), it doesn't mean it's the best for everything. Until now the go-to

I'm willing to keep an open mind but the only example you've shared of such a success story and debunk was a LLM clearing the technical debt of a codebase that was fully LLM-written from the very first commit? If LLMs are so good

Emojis have been over-used by javascript developers for decades. Long before LLMs, the README of any javascript project was filled with emojis. A non trivial amount of projects even add emojis to their git messages! As unpleasant as emoji

VSCode at least has the excuse of being a full web browser, explaining (but not justifying!) its bloat. What's Sublime's excuse for needing 300MB to open a text file?

LosslessCut gives you the option to cut at the nearest keyframe, or to re-encode the small portion from the chosen timestamp to the next key frame (at most a few seconds). Sounds lossless enough to me.

Whoever controls the AI, as per the article we're discussing. Debian isn't a free-for-all, they don't accept fly-by-night contributions, there needs to be a real and serious person behind every contribution.

The write speed of the PS5 SSD is indeed quite bad but it's still way faster than gigabit ethernet, it can't be the bottleneck. It also can't be the bottleneck with load times, it still reads at 5000MB/s even though it w

Okay we force Apple to give the consumer freedom to choose at least one other OS. But none other exists, so what should Apple do? Create a second operating system themselves to give the illusion of choice? Be forced to bankroll an independe

Expectations change over time. But I also believe your recollection is erroneous or must differ by region because I was there as early as the 80s and computers sold without an operating system weren't common. If you were buying a PC cl

Anubis is usually less obtrusive than that, though. This is the longest anubis challenge I've ever had, to the point of being absurd. Hopefully they have a genuine reason for having set the difficulty so high.

Counter point: I ran prosody for years and changed almost nothing to the defaults. Just like with Apache, all you need is a sane default configuration that covers the most common use cases, and I think modern XMPP servers offer that.
