UIs are inconsistent even in the same app. Nevermind plugins or suites. It would be great if menus were customizable so you could plug in your own template.

This begs the question, who is paying for it?

I think Laurie is still trying to develop her style. She's been at it for just a few years and her delivery greatly improved over that time span. Not a fan (yet?), but I've seen a few of her videos from different time periods. Per

It could be useful for large data set lookups where you're still limited to largely commodity hardware. Not sure how ~2-8x hardware costs needed to implement this reasonably would compare with costs of specialized hardware.

Do you have evidence that this is a fact? Have you looked at the computing requirements documents for, for example, stock exchanges? I have it on good evidence that stock exchanges ran on mainframes. They are essentially the counterparty (

As another poster said, the impressive part here is the work on lining up all the technical features to implement this simple concept. Though I'm the end Laurie realized that essentially brute force worked well. One thing that I'd

I like the video, but this is hardly groundbreaking. You send out two or more messengers hoping at least one of them will get there on time.

You're assuming that the firewall was configured correctly or that the firewall admin is cooperative. That's a big ask. On the other hand, there is plenty of badly written networked software. I bet most of the networked software d

I can almost guarantee that all of AI runs on deterministic hardware and software. AI is just (near?) the top of the stack. There is no reason, and probably never will be to have a purely heuristic computer. Deterministic systems are way si

Meh. "It is assumed another process will coordinate the running of this tool." Coordination is the crux of the problem for fast convergence. Otherwise you're stuck with an infinity cubed, hypercubed, or worse problem.

Wow! That's digging deep in history. Has Plan9 been updated for modern hardware?

Maybe the RAM crunch will get people optimizing for dedup again.

Facts! That would've been covered on Hackaday not here.

SLIP not PPP. Those are two very different protocols. Otherwise your comment is fairly accurate. There were dial-in terminals, whether more expensive or not, that could be repurposed for generic Internet access. I don't recall whether

Your memory may be failing you. The "maxima" you cite still exist, but they are merely statutory damages provisions. In other words, the plaintiffs can obtain such damages without proof of actual loss, i.e. strict liability. If th

Doesn't look like a ban, a mere withholding of federal funds.

Customers are the ones that continue to pay. If they continue to pay they will likely receive maintenance from the devs. If they don't, they are no longer or never have been customers.

> what do you prefer, the developers abandoning the project, or at least having the option of a paid-for version? It's not a binary choice. I prefer the developers releasing the software under a permissive license. I agree that rely

Yes the software is under AGPL. Go forth and forkify. The choice of AGPL tells you that they wanted to be the only commercial source of the software from the beginning.

Kudos, but it seems that "eradicated" is a bit too strong of a word, since it appears that the worm will still be capable of infecting new patients.

I prefer opt-in vs. opt-out. Opt-out is pretentious and patronizing.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I'm not sure I want AI in my browser, whatever that may mean, but I don't think everyone shares my view. To think otherwise is IMHO delusional.
