The true AI doomsayers believe in some sort of technological singularity, which means a point after which things become so strange that the world is radically transformed. Things like "jobs" and "careers" are so integral

The state reserves some of the harshest punishments for counterfeiters, since large scale counterfeit operations is one of the few crimes that is an attack on the state itself. The US secret service was originally created specifically to co

There's usually a large gap between Android and Samsung. If you've tried Samsung, it's not necessarily going to be the same, even if they started from AOSP.

Not just C, dav1d and dav2d are actually mostly written in ASM! Then there's a bit of C as the glue or for functions that don't have optimized ASM yet. Since dav2d is newer it has a higher fraction of C, but not enough for it to b

It's been really bad the last few months. You'd think people would want to share human blogs written by people. But half of the links are just different themes on different blogs all ghostwritten by Claude.

Sometimes you just want a fancy boolean. The advantage is that Result has all the Result APIs and you can compose it with other Results, but otherwise this is just a success bool.

Thanks, I enjoyed the article. I've bought a couple creative commons books (PDF and printed), both to have the physical artifact and to send gratitude to the author, in a form that unambiguously means something. I rarely see a pay-what

Love the price transparency, the obvious followup question is where the other ~85% of the pie goes when I buy a ~50€ paper book, if the author only earns a little under 15%? I imagine printing will be about 2 to 5€, if it's not ultra c

Thanks, that's helpful. This says about ~70% of the money was paid to employees, ~10% infra costs, the other ~20% various other fees and smaller expenses. It would be interesting to have a breakdown of what part of the Thunderbird team

Realistically I don't see how this could be submitted to a journal as-is. I'm sure you could take this material and write a couple papers out of it, but right now this is a 60 page word document with commentary on a variety of top

Very much applies on desktop. The restart button is also strange on desktop, it plays animations instead of restarting. I recommend pressing pause and restarting from the pause menu, which is instant.
