Right until you release it and a minor gets the NPC to talk about rape or something.

No and you missed the "freedom" part of the adage.

While I don't want to discuss the quality of any distro vs Windows, there is a big reason most of us use free software: because it is free . Whether for you it is because of free as in freedom or free as in beer specifically, quality

This is bad enough that I'm going to stop serving cgit. I've been doing cvsweb, then subversion, then cgit over my home server for many many years and for the first time ever this is annoying my own bw usage. It's ridiculous

> Name the architectures and the specific instructions; do not be hypothetical. You realize you're asking for a list of instructions that are not used by codegen but exist in the ISA? Because it is practically infinite. Even a plain

This still would allow one to "strobe" the power line making it impossible for a human to see the LED but the camera could still capture snapshots and at a decent framerate even.

Look, I find it funny that I find myself arguing on the other side of the discussion that I'm frequently on, but here is where I draw the line, and I think what is ridiculous is to think otherwise. How many hoops Google asks you to go

>Which we have massive tables for each form which track those side effects and clobbering information too. No, you have tables _of the instructions that the compiler codegen may use_. You have no tables of what someone may use inside in

You realize that most of the time that you are giving access to an older HID device, you are giving the website permission to convert that device into a persistent backdoor forever? No matter if you later close the browser or revoke the per

I think that this is not true -- the achievements mentioned here are hardly ground breaking and mostly build on work that was already done years before LLMs were a thing. There are things that the "open source movement" dreams abo

I kinda remember that the counterargument Google used is that only devices with a special attribute would ever be available through WebHID, ensuring that such older devices would never be exposed. Cue my surprise when it turns out you can u

From the same lunacy that forces me to write my 30-something character Wi-Fi password on a "secure password field" that only shows me the last character, almost ensuring that I will make an unlimited number of typos and spend way

This is often said but if you want to "diagnose" something then the terribly limited Android shell is about the last place you want to be, and a sandboxed one on top of it is worse ....

I now realize how hypocritical it is for Spain to ask about Gibraltar to the UK while they still are keeping Ceuta in Morocco.

In addition, when we usually say that triggering undefined behavior on C can start a game of Tetris or format your hard disk we're usually joking (or at least exaggerating), i.e. the most common failure conditions of compilers are real

I am quite sure AMD is already using a fork of the Linux amdgpu KMD for their proprietary driver on Windows (which in part explains why a project like this can even be done) Porting Linux drivers to anywhere is generally hard. It either mak

But there is no evidence whatsoever for what you are saying (in fact the nvidia drivers are portable and may perform comparably or even better than the free ones). On the other hand here we have evidence of how this has made it impossible f

by AshamedCaptain 2mo ago
See the first message of TFA. The author complains that amdgpu has way too many linuxisms that make it impractical to port it to non-Linux ( unless you are already emulating Linux). On the other hand, the nv kernel driver is portable, up to

They are literally the only one who has managed to do it,, and they do so by having a huge layer of compatibility that takes years to update to new versions and support newer generations. We do not know if it would be easier for BSD to supp

What I find depressing is because of idiotic Linux policies, it turns out nvidia hardware is easier to run on a 3rd party OS than hardware with otherwise fully open source drivers like Radeon. This is just yet another example that you may t

Even big US companies today are full of "Is this good for the company?", "Our company values" and other cringe-inducing loyalty/ethics-related propaganda, about as much as 30 years ago. So they are keeping the chara

I always found it relevant that in Spanish-dubs they translate the name of Homer to "Homero" which would be basically how you would refer to the classic author rather than to some american layman. (as if e.g. in France I translate

I remember implementing the paper at some point, and though it was fun enough that it would make for a slightly less boring programming project for students.

I think the name is meaningless to the average layman, therefore useless. Something like "(private) chat police" would probably transmit what this is about but is not as catchy.

You are generalizing. The design may very well be simpler, just more expensive.

Glad to hear, because that's how much a battery will degrade by itself in 1 to 2 years if you're average lucky.

More like just 1 year later even if you just store it unused, considering typical battery degradation.
