In graphics there is the uncanny valley effect: when the object approaches reality the experience degrades. A similar mode holds for AI: the more the agent resembles human thinking, feeling and (in the future) touch, the more distress creat

In the domain of graphics, Linux's moto "freedom of choice" falls apart. In a Qemu VM a testing installation of Plasma+Wayland is dog slow and crashes the whole system. Using the workaround for X it runs faster and stable.

We, parents, are in a constant fight with an addictive drug with which some companies are trying to control our children through light emitted by electronic screens. My sons started playing Roblox a month ago. I allow only half an hour time

There is a large set of patterns deep ingrained/hard-coded in the human brain's neuronal structures. From hormone-metabolic reflexes like hunger, cold and sex (after puberty), to feelings (eg universal recognition of the mother&#x

Forget Unix philosophy. The Linux philosophy suggests the monolithic kernel and, therefore, monolithic userland. Systemd fits perfectly, was pushed more or less openly by Linus himself and won. In Linux we don't want a million scripts

Antidepressants benefit specific populations, those that have a predominant "internal" stress/depression and not due to a profound external trauma. They will not help a child that is continuously bullied, but one that has inh

Math is the most abstract logical way of human thinking. On the other side pure art is totally on the other side. If you are an artist or similar, you don't need math. If you are a STEM professional, definitely. In between (eg health c

Using an Ad blocker I feel regret for stealing the site's revenue. So I allow them to collect my personal data. Anyways, I think most of them will not respect my rejection.

Aha moments cause massive firing in widespread brain regions (executive, memory, verbal and psyche). No surprise that some of it is caught with some detection device.

I am afraid you will be the first to migrate after the energy crisis escalates. Next will be millions that live even a little below 0 (Celsius).

Off course curing patients is viable. I am a doctor and I live off from it well enough. Now, if GS means "searching for potential methods to cure patients", then the answer is it depends. Is searching for new oil fields worthless?

The few families that rule the UK were undecided if joining EU was benefiting, mainly for them, or not. They experimented, the experimemt failed and they cancel it. I believe the most important reason was that they felt subordinate to the G

AI in an open source project will be horrible. Proprietary AI services backed by billions, hiring top programming, back/front/ui talent lead by ambitious dreamers are already problematic at most limited. A bunch of loose free lanc

I have some things to note as a non-US: 1) 42 million people underfed in the richest nation in the world is worrisome 2) killing one person is headlines, killing millions is statistics. Today, replace killing with starving 3) people reached

There are slower ones, like IPv4 to IPv6 transition. Jokes aside, in Linux any transition happens instant or never.

It cannot be taken for granted that arriving at the hospital alive, he would stay alive. A massive heart infarct or other fatal incident (aortic rupture, lung embolism) must be ruled out through an autopsy which is strongly indicated, if no

So I suppose: NEVER use WiFi for anything critical (server, security, high avail, medical etc). I don't know if WiFi cards of later devices are of subpar quality to reduce costs. The WiFi debugging is insane.

I think the closest cousin to FreeBSD is Arch Linux. Superb, in-house maintained documentation, light, elegant out-of-the-box options and solutions and the ports/AUR power. Only, FreeBSD includes the whole 1.2GB ports' tree of 24k

There might be no 80 year long period in global history more peaceful than the current (measured by war fatalities per global population). And this happened due to a single reason: nuclear warheads. The super-powers USA, China, India whatev

This is a modern trend enforced by a public authority which might be lead opinionated. Is it acceptable to show ads of menstrual napkins or erection pills to specific genders or is it discrimination?

The memory that is involved is the working memory, which is similar to the CPU cache. The short term is RAM and the long term is the physical storage. The problem is completely reversible if you stop electronic screen usage and stick to tra
