Then the slop merchants will simply move to controlling a DAW with AI and use the same software synths that everyone else does. It's a little more involved and slower, but far from hard. Ultimately this isn't really…
I think Apple doesn't really have a choice. They've been very strongly encouraged by the current US government to move as much chip manufacturing to the US as possible, and particularly to make Intel Foundry work, or…
It's not so much ripping off the designs - nothing of what Apple Silicon is doing is particularly surprising and both x86 and Intel's microarchitectures are sufficiently different to Apple Silicon/ARM that knowledge of…
Here's the neat thing: you don't. I've tried, and I feel like I've got closer with faster models, but ultimately the agentic loop excludes you. Even if you're asking the agent to do simple short tasks, it's still:…
So why doesn't the mouse pointer work that way on an Apple trackpad? Surely if that's the case then when you move your finger to the upper left then the pointer should move to the bottom right. Because that's how it…
Umm, you can do basically all of this, today, with Home Assistant and a handful of add-on apps. I use a local LLM with it, but you can use a hosted LLM if you like. The core home automation stuff can run on a potato.…
> How did the UK and France solve it? Remove the fuel elements, reprocess what's useful, and store the reprocessed materials and nuclear waste somewhere "temporarily" that isn't really suitable for long-term storage.…
No need to bother maintainers, just package it up and upload it to the KDE store as a Plasma extension. Then it can appear for download in "Get New Widgets" in Plasma edit mode. Plenty of "lazy" widgets in there.
Window previews when switching are also a nice thing when doing heavy multitasking. There are a few things MacOS X inherited from classic MacOS that I don't think work that well in the modern world, and…
Sure you can do it technically, but then you have a licensing compliance issue, so no reputable business will do it. You can run x86 macOS VMs in Windows or Linux too with a little bit of technical trickery, but again,…
The problem with this is that "breaking the Nash equilibrium momentarily" is a spherical cow. "Momentarily" can mean years or even decades, and millions of people can suffer or die as a result.
The problem is those self-same authoritarian strongmen are very successfully using sockpuppeting to change national discourses in ways that benefit them and are detrimental to the targeted countries. Hybrid war is real…
The point is that if you convert away from COBOL to a more modern language, you can also move away from Z-series hardware to commodity x86 and ARM servers. That's why this announcement affected IBM's share price. IEEE…
Not really, because only the OS core is swapped in this way. Apps and data live in their own partitions/subvolumes, which are mutable and shared between OS versions. The OS core is deployed as a single unit and is a few…
In British English, rather than "very not bad", you might say "not bad at all", which is higher praise than just "not bad".
I already run stuff that was very much not made with TBDR in mind, on TBDR GPU architectures, and the performance is perfectly fine. For sure, you can squeeze a few percentage points more out if you optimize for TBDR,…
It's not just Chrome, it's everything, though apps that have a large number of dependencies (including Chrome and the myriad Electron apps most of us use these days) are for sure more noticeable. My M4 MacBook Pro loads…
That's the story the proponents of the AI bubble would have you believe, because they are sucking in all available funding to their enrichment, or because they've been huffing their own hype gas for so long that they…
Having bought a few Matter devices now, I have discovered that, in practise, Matter is just as full of vendor extensions as ZigBee, and the quirks ecosystem that allows for interoperability despite vendor extensions is…
It's really just a performance tradeoff, and where your acceptable performance level is. Ollama, for example, will let you run any available model on just about any hardware. But using the CPU alone is _much_ slower…
Which is as-designed. Vulkan (and DX12, and Metal) is a much more low-level API, precisely because that's what professional 3D engine developers asked for. Closer to the hardware, more control, fewer workarounds because…
> the majority of the population laid off from their office jobs will have plenty of work to do in the fields and food processing plants if they want to eat. Indeed. The destination is agricultural serfdom, with current…
Use the LGPL licensing option?
Centrino was Intel's brand for their wireless networking and laptops that had their wireless chipsets, the CPUs of which were all P6-derived (Pentium M, Core Duo). Possibly you meant Celeron? Also the Pentium 4 uarch…
I'm not sure you can say that Qt doesn't see much use, when there are hundreds, probably thousands, of well-known commercial apps using it, and it's in millions upon millions of embedded systems. And obviously KDE as…
