I was rather confused when I clicked on it like "why is Adobe open sourcing products that compete with its own commercial products?" Surely that logo is a clearcut example of trademark infringement.

What happened at SFSU (and no doubt in New Zealand as well) was clearly battery, though the authorities are likely to look the other way. Likewise, blockading a private event is likely a criminal act.

They aren't permitting this behavior. But if they were to change their rules to allow these sorts of disruptions, as stupid as that would be, they would have every right to do so and it wouldn't be a violation of anyone's rig

Yeah this article doesn’t talk about it much but Martinez’ memo to Stanford Law students emphasized that point.

As a speaker, you’re free to buy / rent your own private venue and you trespass any hecklers who attempt to threaten your livelihood there by yelling over your speech. You don’t have a right to force a private university to host your s

I see tuition of several thousand (e.g. 7,800 for 8-11th grade): https://smaneworleans.com/tuition-fees Still quite a steal as private schools go, and significantly less than one would have to pay in yearly rent / mor

If you had bothered to read the article before commenting you'd see that the proof is indeed novel, and is unrelated to the previously found trigonometric proof.

It's definitely correct, and quite trivial to verify. It's possible it has been discovered before, but none of the proof compilations I've seen (e.g. cut-the-knot) has it, and the trigonometric proofs I can find involve using

An order of magnitude more expensive than HDD (let alone tape), but doesn't M-Disc offer a solution here?

Yeah but this isn't confabulating. It's just role-playing as instructed.

Did it work though?

Not exactly "physical" in the same sense as a normal Rubik's cube, since there isn't any physical restriction that makes illegal moves of taking it apart and putting it back together anymore difficult than performing leg

Thanks. Doesn't seem to have happened yet but I have no confidence it'll remain that way.

Thanks I just did this as well. I often defend Apple's decisions but this is downright ridiculous.

It would seem the valuation is readjusting to the fact that they had to stop growing (and indeed lose revenue in tandem with cutting spending) to become profitable. Since they already have a 250 million dollar preference stack on the books,

I assume the burning amount is their net cash flow loss. That's still not that bad though. A margin of -8.5% isn't that big a loss, especially if they're able to raise financing that will last a couple years while they work t

Setup your 10 year old with a ChatGPT and Midjourney subscription instead so they become a talented prompt engineer instead of a systems engineering neckbeard.

To be fair, Thinkpads were built to last back in those days. Won't get the same mileage out of other laptops (or even modern Thinkpads).

Maybe it's because I've been a longtime Mac user, but Windows 11 is the first time Windows has actually felt intuitive and usable to me. The only hard part was that I had to look up the whole oobe\bypassnro trick when installing s

That scene had a full moon as a plot point. It's pretty easy to see around you in a sparse forest on a moonlit night. The only real issue is how quickly your eyes can adjust to darkness (e.g. they fire off spells and patronus charms th

It’s possible there is a benign explanation (spring is allergy season after all), but it’s insane that the government hasn’t been erring in the side of caution throughout this incident.

Yeah I’d say more specifically that general first principles understanding of different areas and the ability to think about systems / architecture / general logic is very useful. Unlike traditional polymaths, detailed knowledge &

I mean I've worked up and down most of the stack. The understanding is great. It still doesn't give me much of a competitive advantage over the average "full-stack" (laughable term given how narrow a part of the stack it

Our experience coding from scratch will have about as much validity as the experience of people who coded in assembly has today. It'll be a specialized skill with its own niche but without much value in the broader tech industry.

Have they standardized the motherboard form factor? Could we start seeing third party motherboards to drop in to a Framework Laptop?

We should just eliminate H1bs and expand the green card program together with eliminating per country quotas. Relying on a union to protect workers with precarious visas is really just trying to address the symptom rather than the cause.
