nuTensor would be a lot more accessible if it were a signed extension. Having to sideload it is a non-starter for most people.

And what is the downside to them if this isn't entirely true? On one hand you have tens of millions of dollars and potentially a lot more, on the other you have a few angry nerds.

Ah. And Pexels is in fact owned by Canva, as is Pixabay. (What is it with Germany and picture-sharing sites?)

Very slick, and fast. But how do they pay for the site? There are no ads and no monetization I could find. The claim 4 billion image views a month, that has to cost them some bandwidth...

I remember a time when you could find out how a rotary engine worked from Popular Mechanics. Now I can find out how to raise the dead just by building a Dyson Sphere. How primitive and backwards we were in the 20th century! https:/&#x

The thing that should really be discussed is that given the full regulatory capture of the FAA over the last 20 years, how many other such hidden timebombs exist in the complex software systems in aircraft. As a software tester, it's

This had nothing to do with the Mastodon code, Gab has made a big deal about all the "improvements" they've made.

The pricing is killing it, and Apple probably knew it would, but they don't want to cannibalize margins here. There really isn't a competitive product, so they have no incentive to lower prices.

I don't see how that follows at all, it's very easy to make things disappear (a CEO's 3rd vacation home perhaps) and getting ground truth on a whole planet is a hard problem.

Kind of made it obvious how many sites run through CF now. I initially thought WOW was having one of its usual bi-weekly outages and actually walked over to the modem to check.

Chicago area is mostly natural gas heat, so less direct demand. Illinois also has the most nuclearized power grid in the nation.

This is wild - they built a nuclear plant that has its generator sets just sitting out in the open? This seems like a bad idea regardless of what is generating the steam.

Totally disagree with this thesis but disagree with the downvotes as well. I think it's important to understand the mentality of the anti- crowd.

The most impressive thing about this is that the offending app doesn't even display the image, it was some copypasta code the app developers apparently didn't even understand.

That will do nothing. They will take the sub revenue and keep the current privacy monetization too. The only way to stop it is legislation.

Probably should have gone with the wedge with that lie.

What fiduciary duty? They disclose right up front that they are paid for order flow, and I assumed, correctly, that this meant they were allowing Citadel, et al. to front-run the retail orders and skim risk-free cream from the rubes. As a f

You are speaking of some future state, however likely that may be, this doesn't exist now and exists on the corporate platforms now. Obtaining this information by extracting it from ActivityPub streams is also a far cry from getting th

Company outfitted us with Dell Alienware m17 R3 laptops, an expensive gaming model that has built-in head tracking. The camera is a 720p with terrible image quality, worse than any Macbook. So no, I don't think Apple is below standard

Exactly this. But there are a set of people who enjoy or feel the need to engage in combat with other schools of thought, either as validation or because of genuine desire to proselytize; and there is a subset of those people that believe t

It's what he writes about now, and I find his take on this somewhat disingenuous given that he's positioned himself as the "a pox on both your houses" guy and is making that his bread and butter. Given that, there really
