Was seriously considering getting a Framework to replace my aging ASUS. Upgrade- and repair-ability were my main motivations. But now I'm reconsidering. Not standing behind their own BIOS update is pretty horrible.

Turing was half right. Pass his test and you haven't proven a machine can think — you've proven it can make us think it does. That's a far more dangerous thing to have built.

Honest, good-faith question. Is CC getting better, or are you getting better at using it? And how do you know the difference? I'm an occasional user, and I can definitely see improvements in my prompts over the past couple of months.

> It's not that Dell doesn't care about AI or AI PCs anymore, it's just that over the past year or so it's come to realise that the consumer doesn't. I wish every consumer product leader would figure this out.

> Example: When encountering a memory error during a Docker build, it increased the memory settings rather than questioning why so much memory was used in the first place. AI really is just like us!

“Technically, I am homeless. I do not have a place of my own. I’m not on any lease,” he says. That is not 'technically' homeless, or any other kind of homeless. If it was, millions of adults who move back home with their parents w

This is a horrible way to frame the study's finding. "1% of people are responsible" sounds like some group is wasting resources, or taking up an uneven share. The study looks at one year, and finds in that one year 24% of spe

I use Ubiquiti throughout my 90+ year old home, with multiple AC Pros. During the heart of the pandemic I had four people in my house, all Zoom'ing or streaming video at the same time, all on WiFi, with no issues. I don't really k

The article REALLY ought to say so, but the underlying data is CPI adjusted. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/

I don't doubt that. But how do they find candidates? And how do interested engineers find positions?

OnlyFans is at his core a tech company, with (I'd guess) a stack that looks a lot like any other high volume social media platform. They likely have a decent size engineering group. Yet all of what I would think of as the expected recr

Isn't the ultimate lesson here that the rules are useless? The user got CoPilot to break one of its own rules with almost ridiculous ease.

It's 100% clickbait, as the second part of the article is available only to paid subscribers.

Nice to see an article address what Moore actually said (transistor count doubles every 24 months) and not what people often thinks Moore said (performance doubles every 24 months).

7.7 million people live in the Bay Area. Your 40% estimate is off by several orders of magnitude.

Not sure where you're getting those numbers. I've been a Backblaze customer for 10+ years, and I was contacted about the directed share program. Have not heard about price or volume yet.

I had this happen to a .com domain I own, also at Namecheap. In my case it was actually a trademark infringement legal action. My domain got listed as hosting a site that sold knock-off sunglasses[1] . The plaintiff in the case got a court

It's a punishment. You can't send a corporation to jail, you can only fine them. The Jury found that Monsanto committed fraud, and acted with malice. $1B is enough to hurt the corporate finances, very much by design. What punis

I think you have the question backwards. I wonder why more people, especially in tech, don't have agents. Broadly speaking, writers are freelancers who enter into short-term high-value contracts for work-for-hire. Agents negotiate th
