Some WTFs are to be expected: https://www.osnews.com/story/19266/wtfsm/
Middle of the road, comparable to Sunflower oil. But they want to utilize waste products and a low energy conversion process.
My gut feeling says to not trust this analysis (off by at least a magnitude). Care to share a link so I can be certain?
It should. With good speed even on a 12th gen Intel. But more importantly, what's your use case?
These claims by WH site are at least debatable/unsubstanciated: - "The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature." Furin cleavage sites are common in other types of coronaviruses (like…
So, does this mean faster rendering in notebooks, better debugging, fewer NVIDIA troubles?
As said before, the physics for chemistry is 100 years old (Schrödinger/Dirac), but the N-body Hamiltonian is an exponential beast. Scaling to just 1mg (~10¹⁹ particles) hits the "Exponential Wall."
The app on your Mac today isn't a rewrite of the legendary Mac OS 7.2.1 Graphing Calculator, but an acquired app based on Curvus Pro introduced in OSX Tiger. The first one has a legendary backstory. 2 devs snuck into…
The disagreement in timelines usually comes from differences in the used definition of AGI. Many who predict a 2026–2028 arrival define it as: 'the ability to perform any purely cognitive task a human can do.' If we…
When you explore a problem, use Python and lists/sets/dictionaries/JSON. Wait with types and specific data structures till you have understanding. Speed of development over speed of execution. When you know what and how…
If you can do a successful switch to cloud only Entra (aka. AzureAD) first, you are 90% ready for a migration to Open Source. You need Entra for Licensing anyway. Yes, I'm aware that this is hard. Univention Nubus…

Yes and no. They all have a very solid industrial base, like 30% to 50% of the economy, with ~50% of workers living abroad (not fully part of the welfare state). Comparatively high R&D. Low taxes. And plain tax evasion…

I made a mistake: Test # A B C Result 1 True True False True 2 False True False False 3 True False False False 4 False True True True
Modified Condition/Decision Coverage It's mandated by DO-178C for the highest-level (Level A) avionics software. Example: if (A && B || C) { ... } else { ... } needs individual tests for A, B, and C. Test #,A,B,A &&…
AlgoDrill is so futuristic, that Gemini 3 included it in the HN front page 10 years from now (#5): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46205632
I can remember perl vs python flame wars ca. 2002. Also, the early 2010s are not that recent: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Pythonista%2Cp...
The history of the Windows TCP/IP stack went most likely like this: IBM (NetBEUI, no TCP/IP) -> Spider TCP/IP Stack + SysV STREAMS environment -> MS rewrite 1 (early NT, Winsock instead of STREAMS) -> MS rewrite 2 (make…
ZTE is also under scrutiny. The reason it's only Huawei and ZTE is that other Chinese providers are so insignificant that the telecoms will likely be able to replace the infrastructure themselves with spares or…
"Chat Control" is mass surveillance, not targeted Action. Targeted action mayhaps needs some readjustment, but by and large is already easy to obtain for law enforcement. Normalizing mass surveillance would set a…
There is something to the existence of fads and fundamentals. When I started, it was Object-Oriented-Programming (with multiple-inheritance and operator overloading, of course), Round-Trip Engineering (RTE), XML, and…
Silent SMS (Short Message Type 0) have been around since 1996.
twinBASIC tries hard to be a bug compatible successor.
