Yes, and we haven't even really begun to nail down computer-use agents yet (can you believe they're still basically just OCR'ing screenshots?) Once we have something that experiences a desktop interface more like a…
Yes, this one. Look at our governance; look at our coordination-at-scale; look at our collective problem solving. It's abysmal, beyond hope. If we have global scale problems, we are not capable of solving them…
Yes, and RMS was correct in his Right to Read and so many other things - we're seeing the slow death of the never-enshrined-in-law right to compute. Luckily open-source is big enough to slow this down; we should all be…
When you press the gas pedal in your car down (which used to just be a cable to the throttle body), does your car instantaneously increase in speed to match the pedal position? All you're doing is letting more air in -…
3000? Here I am wishing there was some Wankel Rotary representation and you're shifting at 3000? What are you driving, a Peterbilt?
Sounds like an answer from a non-parent, honestly. There's a lot more to it than that, and virtually every couple I know with children thought about it a lot before going ahead. The number one reason is because they see…
That's the smoking gun -- he was absolutely right. It's not ice cream, it's slop!
So they should prorogue the entire Parliament and they all take a month off together. Why the fuck should some particular province or riding or whatever miss out on representation on an important issue just because…
The trouble is that most conventional ways of building a new service are trivial to block. What is needed now is unstoppable messaging and social networking built on top of existing services and protocols that won't be…
It's mostly a lack of properly descriptive words in the language. I think "totalitarian liberalism" or the "managerial state" is probably closer to what we're talking about here. Power is not concentrated in one…
At least we're giving out free verification cans
This worked for me, once. Putting drives in the freezer has worked 3x. I miss that... when an SSD dies it's just dead
did you have a copy of Hiren's in there?
Who gives a shit what time it happens at? It's not like you're actually making the day shorter or longer, man.
Hell no. Never going back.
I bet you a dollar you could get a better machine for free if you looked around ;)
T400 is definitely cool, I have a T420 I love. But that Aptiva... man, when those were new, they were full of more bloatware than any other machine I'd ever seen. I made bank in high school just reinstalling windows for…
But why
Are you Yanks seriously not going to get this sorted out before winter? BC has moved - can at least the rest of Cascadia get their asses in gear? Come on, California, I do not want to be dealing with a north-south time…
Right. That's what sanctions can accomplish...
$15 now, so one might say that it's pretty much just the time-invariant value of the minimum hourly wage
I tried to read this writeup, but it has too many hallmarks of AI, and after a long week of reading AI-written stuff at work, I don't want to read "It's not X, it's Y" on the weekend. The concepts here may be amazing,…
1650 watts of liquid cooled Risc-V
At some point we're going to have these chips for a couple bucks in kids toys
Bless your heart
