Oh no.
Yeah that’s kinda how I felt, too. I would have done this in either Processing, or if it was connecting to something running Plan9 I’d do raw draw commands.
Well good for them. No one has ever said it to me in a derisive way and if anyone ever does I will educate them.
it's not a derisive term. it's just a nickname for a left-handed pitcher in baseball, because their left hand is on the south side of the pitcher when pitching in whatever field that term was coined in. it is a nickname…
That is my point.
I did. Artificial General Purpose Intelligence. True AI, not an LLM, not a decision tree, but true artificial intelligence.
it's all over the place. when you hold a pen or pencil in your right hand, any text is right-side up. put it in your left hand; the text is now upside down. there are millions of little things like that. millions.…
there has not been $10B in profit solely or partially because of a lack of a right to repair. There's no way.
As a lefty, his tongue in cheek derision toward lefties still pisses me off genuinely. I’m old enough to have been smacked around by a teacher as a kid for writing with my left hand. Right-handed bias is EVERYWHERE.…
AGI is a long way off. Unless you’re talking about some unknown-to-me LLM marketing BS which is called “AGI” or something, I guess. Artificial general purpose intelligence is so different to LLMs or image AI that they…
How in the heck can you plausibly correct someone else like that? You (almost certainly) don’t know that person, even in passing. People can learn from watching a documentary just as well as they can learn from reading,…
the endless optimization of everything sure does strip out most enjoyable things, though. often it is these irreplaceable people who contribute the magic that makes their creations popular. George Fan created "Plants…

I appreciate your desire to shit on Microsoft for everything they’ve ever done, but they got BitLocker with PIN right. Explain how an exploit can decrypt the drive without the portion of the key that the user must…
BitLocker with pin is not vulnerable to that (or any other) attack. 10 points deducted. Try again.
No one uses a 4-digit pin for BitLocker. No one who knows what they are doing, anyway. My employer requires at least an 18-digit PIN, and not just numbers, either.
If you think for one single second that businesses and governments who rely on a lost disk being secure don’t trust bitlocker, I have oceanfront property in Missouri to sell you. Bitlocker + PIN is as secure as…
definitely not really.
sure. let's make every word mean every concept. why not? that won't confuse anyone.
I did not know that, thank you. I should have known that probably, but I'm new to all of this.
again, this is something that Plan 9 made very easy and that other operating systems ignored. I'm honestly getting tired of typing that. Bell Labs thought ahead when they made Plan 9. It's definitely not perfect, but…
electron is better for the developer only. It is worse for everyone else, especially the users. it is an insult when an application is delivered to me as an Electron application. "your time is less important than ours,…
People don't understand how fast SQLite is, it seems. You have to know what you're doing, but that's the same requirement that Postgres has if you want to get the most out of it.
Available models aren’t really trending upward in size. Not like I thought they would, anyway. They’re trending to be the right size to be good. Qwen3.6-35B is not as good as Qwen3.6-27B. The larger model is faster, but…
The don’t let backwards compatibility stop them from doing anything, but I don’t think they go out of their way to target games. That doesn’t make any sense to me.
Oh no.
