I've bought new a Google Pixel 7a two years ago, paid for it 400 euros. After 1 year I've dropped it, landed on a corner, screen completely broken, replacement costed screen costed me nearly 120 euros (and was not an…
Nooo what you are saying communist. I also think so, but each time someone (typically the EU) does something in the direction (e.g. digital market act) the US government, companies and citizens accuse us to be…
Being a developer, I can say that working with Google is a pain. There is no possibility to talk with a human, all communication is answered by the same AI-generated response that links you to the same AI-generated…
Maybe it was advanced for the time being created, to me it's just any other RFID card that is issued everywhere else in the world in the matter of read speed, from every public transit card that I find in every EU…
Well you can get it only in some kind of machines, and you need to pay it cash. Also you need to use cash to charge it, and you can charge it minimum by 1000 or 500 yen at a time depending on the station, not less. The…
It doesn't really matter, because x86 processors inside are almost similar to modern ARM processors, the instructions that most programs use are more or less the same, and more complex "legacy" instructions are just…
I have in my basement a PC with Windows 98 that feels way faster using it than a modern Windows 11 full of vibecoded AI slop features.
For this reason: more upgradable Apple wants to sell you a new system every couple of years, they don't want you to upgrade. They want you to throw it away the system completely and replace it (and they claim they are…
Same thing, I still have at home a desktop I've built when I was 17 (now I'm 30!) and still runs fine for day to day tasks, of course with Linux on it. It has 8Gb of RAM (DDR3), 512Gb SSD (not original of course because…
I wouldn't even compare AI to any of one. Rather, AI will even contrast with some of these, democracy for example, if we stop critically thinking and delegate everything to AI (= big corporations that control it) it…
My barber in Italy just doesn't make me a receipt in exchange for a discount if I pay him cash so he doesn't have to pay taxes. Come on... the cost to operating a small business are usually low/there are tax exceptions,…
Really the chances that someone will ask a small company to be compliant are just very low. Of course if you sell something in an envelope nobody will ask you anything, the deal and the reason for this law (that I…
Yes but let's continue using Claude to write code because we suck at programming. Really the only way out of this is to STOP NOW using AI and use our brain instead. These company will just shut down if we stop using,…
I don't know the US law, but surely in Europe specifically every private conversation is private, period. No matter if it's work email, your company cannot read the emails directed at your company mailbox by its…
For a big tech the publishing fees are nothing in comparison to what they can revenue on patents. Let's say that they AI generate 1000 patents and let's say the cost is 1000$ for each one, it's sufficient that only 1 of…
The problem is that it doesn't work as such. We all know that Meucci invented the telephone but Bell patented it. The patent office rarely care about it, they register whatever you want, and then lawyers of companies…
Depends, for example if the variable that selects between the two implementations is a compile time constant (#define or constexpr variable) the compiler can really remove the conditional and all the code of the choice…
Indeed. The problem is trying to apply the principles of "Clean Code" or more generally of OOP everywhere. There are surely cases where having an interface as an abstraction and multiple implementations makes sense.…
Well, not exactly. A LLM is still a computer, doesn't have an intelligence (beside being called AI). That means that their output is a mere computation of their input data, and their input data it's the stuff that was…
Let's say that Anthropic trains their models on their internal (private) codebase. Let's say that a contributor using Claude generates a piece of code (long enough to account for copyright) that is identical to the…
An this is exactly the reason why the GNU project doesn't want LLM contributions. They don't want the chance that lawyers of some big tech state that they violated they copyright and asks for millions of compensation,…
To be fair, as an European, I'm now more concerned about the usage of AI that the US will be doing rather than China. And this is a sentiment shared among most European people that I know.
I appreciate my 2011 vehicle that only has a car radio with FM tuner and CDs, and yes, I know that I could easily swap it but I didn't on purpose, let me explain why: - all the controls that I need, that are basically…
Except than later we returned to a sort-of segmented memory. That is of course paging, our programs allocates pages of memory that are a fixed size (4096 bytes) and are arranged in memory or in swap space how the OS…
