75w is nuts actually. I measured my _desktop_ setup about 10 years ago including two monitors and idle was around 35w. It also doesn't make sense to include idle of all peripherals since you would be using them for chatgpt as well.

Enshitification, I've been using Gmail for decades and it was significantly faster and more responsive in the past. It still works fine tbh, but it did work better. Whether or not something is successful has little to do with its quali

I agree authors should be listed, but I disagree that this is odd. Especially in a time where points from scientific consensus are considered biased political points, it's the norm.

I'm in embedded, there's also cutting edge stuff to work on. The nice thing is you can be mostly detached from annoying web apis and frameworks and databases. The not so nice stuff is dealing with crappy vendors, using crappy tool

And what I'm saying is, you have absolutely no evidence or way to prove that. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I am saying it has as much scientific evidence as spontaneous generation did Of course, articulating what the

The answer provided to the hard question doesn't answer the hard question. There is no reason we're aware of that a ton of computations should lead to a subjective experience, it's akin to people saying flies spontaneously ge

Constant growth is not the same as infinite growth. Constant growth is the state of the economy now, believing in infinite growth is believing it can continue this way forever

Turns out I'm the one who forgot what memory safety is o.o I think the part that makes rust's memory safety special is that it also lacks garbage collection

I'm an embedded developer, and for me it's the opposite. Not saying everyone is like me, just saying not everyone is like you. I find regular software development to provide more instant gratification, I like the result of systems

I'm not sure if you understand what safe means in this context. One common example is modifying a vector element by reference. If you grab a reference to an item, push something else to the vector, then try to access through that refer

Was the A10 really that bad back then, or did Acer nerf it with poor cooling or slow ram? I remember a time when the A series chips were a good buy, but that may have been substantially earlier than 2016
