if we are to limit the conversation to privately-owned companies, you and i are likely philosophically aligned -- because the business has a person as an owner, and that person has rights. but when a business is publicly-traded, and no long

this is what i've been wondering. is it feasible for a single diligent person to embed a message in an entire population of birds, in a manner that will persist generations? that's what i'd call a pretty good prank.

perhaps one use-case is fully-homomorphic-encryption, which performs functions on encrypted data without ever decrypting it. this paper appears to be about how in-memory processing can improve the performance of FHE: https://arxi

you are taking it for granted that corporations should largely be given the same civil rights as private citizens, as decided in citizens united v. FEC, but in my view this was one of the worst decisions to ever come out of the supreme cour

i'd add, they're also not private . i mean, i know a publy-traded company is "in the private sector", but it's still a collectively-owned resource and that's a lot different from compelling a privately-owned

commodore OS vision is sort-of a "modern amiga OS". https://myretrocomputer.com/commodore-os-vision/ it's mostly just a skin on Linux Mint, though.

with the name "ultimate" plus the hints in the original video, will this use Gideon's ultimate64? and it includes a case, keyboard (maybe mechboard64?), and flash cassette -- all for less than the cost of an ultimate64 mainbo

is Zorin Connect something that can be installed and used independently of Zorin OS? and does Zorin Connect depend on Gnome?

this is useful for code that renders images (e.g. data-visualization tools). the image is the primary artifact of interest, but maybe it was generated from data represented in JSON format. by embedding the source data (invisibly) in the ima

ah, i believe i misunderstood. on re-reading, i see your statement about sacrilege was more about removing a functional watch from circulation before its time.

it's magic to see the repair process, but not magic to see how the mechanisms work? i'm unsure how you could draw enjoyment from the former without also appreciating the latter.

if by "AR" you mean 3d spatial environment mapping; correct, meta glasses don't have that. i would argue, though, that having integrated access to AI that can react to what the user is seeing is a form of digitally augmented

LLMs at their core do produce reproducible results with a given seed. it's all the workflow stuff people do on top that tends to break reproducibility.

i'm not sure i agree. maybe if you're "vibe-coding", but not if you're using AI as an assistant. a good abstraction makes it hard to write bugs, so telling AI to use a certain library (which i know to be high qualit

cosmopolitan-libc has aspirations (but not concrete plans) to add SDL interfaces for all supported platforms. this would allow APE executables to compile-in cross-platform UI toolkits like QT.
