I definitely got one or more of those stickers with some Intel SATA SSDs... sadly those I think have been the ones I had the worst luck with. I think they were one of those series that had some really bad write amplification problem or some

They aren't always entirely within their rights to refuse to give up your data: the third party doctrine doesn't transfer your expectation of privacy to the third party holding your data, it says that neither you nor the third p

I know there's value to recording the selection process and all that but it's a little funny to have a review that ends up only including one study: at that point just give me a link, not a paper.

No, the post is definitely complaining about articles written by LLMs: "In the past few years, arXiv has been flooded with papers. Generative AI / large language models have added to this flood by making papers – especially pape

I started with Debian on CDs, but used Gentoo for years after that. Eventually I admitted that just Ubuntu suited my needs and used up less time keeping it up to date. I do sometimes still pull in a package that brings a million dependencie

2600 got enjoined from linking to DeCSS and that got upheld on appeal, on the basis that linking violated the DMCA's anti-trafficking provisions. From the district court case: > Defendants then linked their site to those "mir

I don't think it would make much difference; an internet constitution would be worth about as much as the paper it's not written on.

I still have electrical tape right now over the power LED on my computer case: it's a pretty bright white LED that pulses in sleep and as far as I know my motherboard won't let me turn that behavior off. I guess I could have just

I was one of those weird users who used the 64-bit version of Windows XP, with what I'm pretty sure was an Athlon 64 X2, both the first 64-bit chip and first dual-core one that I had.

I think they mean success in terms of Go being used outside Google? Versus hack/hhvm which had a pretty narrow window where it saw some limited outside adoption.

They're blocking IPs that look Mississippi-ish. I assume just using Maxmind or some other IP geolocation database.

The traffic I've seen is the big AI players just voraciously scraping for ~everything. What they do with it, if anything, who knows. There's some user-directed traffic, but it's a small fraction, in my experience.

"Safe area" is terminology that has a history of being used with displays: defining the portion of a TV screen where viewers could be reliably expected to be able to see content and on-screen graphics without them getting clipped

The collapse being the collapse of the DDR? The Lives of Others must have been made way further beyond that than 7 years. Closer to 20, I'd figure.

Of course you couldn't with 2 digit years either, or at least not without making more changes to move the dividing line between 1900s/1800s down the line.

The "mistake" of all PNG has its advantages: you can convert to JPEG (or whatever else) after the fact with equivalent results to if you had done it that way in the first place; not the case the other way around.

Yeah, I'm happy with my Linux font rendering for sure, and I would say generally it's more Apple-esque, so some reasonably large degree of this is just opinion and preference. There was definitely a time when, to get good results,

Really everything to do with the "Mac-envy" top bar is a miss: the removal of any other status icons without an extension, the now-aborted attempt to make applications define a single menu and render it up there, the vast oceans o

Maybe you could get some savings from the codec by knowing if the range is full or limited, but probably the more useful thing is to just be able to flag the video correctly so it will play right, or to know that you need to convert it if y

OK but the article also says: - There's only one 2-car line, the Franklin Ave. Shuttle - That line is converting to have 3-car trains. So to begin with, the set of small enough trains is the tiniest portion of everything the subway doe

Is it faster to convert a column like this to unsigned? Obviously assuming you don't use negative IDs in the application. That's much more of a "kick the can down the road" solution to only double your usable range, but

I think the distinction here is, they provide the "regular" stream, and the FGS stream noting that it's much smaller yet looks similar. What they don't have is a lower-bandwidth "regular" one, what 2000-or-so k

I wonder how much you'd get with such a technology... truly uncompressed 4K video you're talking about something on the order of a few terabytes for a 90-minute movie, so way way bigger than the biggest 4K Blu-ray discs. Lossless

The reaction comes from some combination of - opposition to generative AI in general - a view that AI, unlike search which also relies on crawling, offers you no benefits in return - crawlers from the AI firms being less well-behaved than t
