Agreed. It's especially frustrating to read of extremely high standard (even though justified, I'm not suggesting it's OK to have a subpar experience) while most people just share everything and anything on Facebook, TikTok,

How my mindset changed : - What's Docker? - wow Docker is so convenient - hmmm all that convenience is creating new problems - is Docker really open? - What's Podman? - Ugh Podman is a great idea but does not work - Is Podman work

I didn't estimate the cost but server-wise it's less than 30 EUR/month. What's demanding is transcoding but with the new architecture https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute/architecture#remote...

I wish. The EU could be fine but it's just not doing it. Companies in the EU and even EU institutions do keep on using US SaaS, from Microsoft to AWS to Oracle institutions and companies claim they want sovereignty but when it's t

Went also through ErgoDox EZ and MoonLander but down-sized to a Corne-ish Zen. Happier since. Less keys (3x6) and lower profile is even nicer for ergonomics, for me at least, but does require a bit more of mental gymnastics for layers. well

/me gets tempted then looks at his Roomba gathering dust, on itself, for years now. It's great in theory. I hate chores... but those things don't work. They work-ish in some ideal cases but a house, even a sorted one, is a me

If you are not already familiar with https://www.crowdsupply.com then check it out, both to buy but also consider selling your own work.

Can definitely recommend it! Start with just <a-box> and <a-sky>, add some animations, then add some community components if it's not enough. Still not enough then modify via ThreeJS, all the way to shaders. A-Frame is amaz

I'm a bit familiar with Rapier (and before that Cannon and Ammo) so how does it compare? PS: FWIW made my own physics engine in 3D space just few weeks ago (and shared it here). OK ok ... it's just a 1-liner that brings an object

IANAL either but ToS are not superseding the law. It's not because somebody they claim their action will have no consequence that they do. It's a bit like a kid playing a game shouting "I won!". Sure, you can say that, i

You might like https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Appropedia posted here every few years but paradoxically very little success here.

Damn, thank you! I often refers to myself saying "Naive heuristic : avoiding gadgets or services (free or not) that increase inequality by design, through technology or business model or both, would be a good starting point." but

In retrospect MY first computer, not my parents or school computer, was not a desktop but rather a pocket calculator that I needed for mathematics. When I noticed I could program on it it definitely expanded my horizon. I was not bound to a

FWIW I was there few years ago then, as mentioned in a recent comment, moved away from iPhone to deGoogle Android (relying on /e/OS) then GrapeheneOS using nearly exclusively open-source software on it with nearly no dark patterns

Funnily I had a discussion with someone I barely met yesterday. They commented on my reMarkable Pro, wondering if I liked it. We discussed a bit and while doing so I pullet out both my paper notepad, my phone but also my XR headset (which j

Sure if the field of study is about memorization, you did learn. I'm not sure that exists though. There are challenges where that is indeed the entire "field", e.g. Pi digits competition, but otherwise for most if not all fie

Honestly I don't get the point but if you want to explore that, both on desktop, mobile or headless server Linux allows you to try it. You can run ollama with whatever you want on a Debian in literally minutes. You can even do that wit

My point was more about agency and anthropomorphization than the definition of intelligence, which is why I didn't just quote "smart" but rather "getting smart".

ASML literally makes the most complex machines on Earth. Sure rockets are powerful and they help us reach outer space ... yet they need computers to do so. Computers in turn are made with lithography machines and the SOTA is ASML. Also ASML

It's a naive heuristic but if you are a not a technical expert you should provide use this until you understand enough to provide and follow a better one.

> a flurry of this sort of stuff as the AIs get smart enough to find them. I really think this characterization is misleading. It's not "getting smart", only more tailored toward a specific usage, better curated dataset, b

I'm not a mathematician but AFAICT AI in mathematics only helped for paradigmatic works, either verification of well explained, and even researched, conjectures. Ideas that have been labelled as potentially interesting, are verifiable,

The question is even, was there EVER a time for an IPO? If the business model requires hundreds of billions to get the required quality (R&D but also infrastructure to collect data and train, either purchased or rented to 3rd party) whi

It's almost as if ... they were what OpenAI was when it started. Sad to see but glad someone is doing is.
