Maybe investigate the background apps that are running on your laptop? By the way, I just opened a directory that I hadn't accessed in months. It contains 10945 log files, and Windows Explorer displayed them instantly.

The analogy with Chess does not work: I can go on YouTube to watch how a pro player beats a specific boss, then use that to massively shorten how long I need to beat that boss. Watching a lot of grandmasters play Chess will minimally help m

I just tried with Bing AI (in "precise" mode), it ran a search, then answered: > There are many soccer players whose names contain a Z. Some of them include Zlatan Ibrahimović, Zinedine Zidane, Zico, Zvonimir Boban, and Zé Robe

I would think that "lossless" implicit conversion are ok. Right? For example, implicit conversion from a 32bit signed integer into a 64bit signed integer.

Note that this answer is from "old Bing". It has nothing to do with the GPT-enhanced new Bing: https://oslo.town/@matt/109864320071232564 The main hints to spot new Bing are: The logo and the feedback buttons

I expect this deal to be a must for Microsoft. OpenAI is probably very happy to raise the stakes as much as possible. So we will see how many billions Microsoft ends up paying for this. Still, is there a world in which we look back 10 years

In C#, you can write (pseudo-code): if (AVX2) { ... } else if (SSE) { ... } else ... Then, when you run the program, the JIT will pick the first supported option and eliminate the other ones.

The most important "goalpost" is: Every major cross-platform AAA game gets released simultaneously on Windows, Xbox and PlayStation. When macOS gets added to the list in a consistant manner, people will consider it a "major&q

Yes. And I see that its id is just before this one. So that's a solution to find its parent.

Indeed. I didn't think about this. I wonder how it managed to be N°2 in this Weekly Top 10 list for last week: https://github.com/headllines/hackernews-weekly/issues/137

I just experimented with the usernames in that video. Most of theme exist (except for "v2v3"). But a lot have barely any repos. There is even a "ferran" who doesn't have anything (public) on GitHub. So, my guess is

Thank you for your detailed suggestions. I have a couple more months to make a decision, so I will continue to do some research. I see that you are also working on a desktop app and have the same concern. Good luck :)

One idea that I have is to sell every major version (would be cool if I could give a discount to users of previous versions). Then, I could plan about 1 major version per year, while continuing to give bug fixes to the previous version for

I think the writing was on the wall for a long time. Since it is only happening in 6 months, I wonder if the community will try to transition/fork it. Do you know if there is still enough interest?

Sadly, most publishers are not interested in developing their own proxy solution just for the sake of data privacy. They vastly prefer a ready-made solution that they can just use. Much of the power of the advertising space come from people

Linode is a fairly underrated provider. Getting acquired will hopefully bring them more visibility. For Akamai, I wonder if this acquisition will have a negative impact on their ability to work with other providers who are now competitors.

I'm surprised that GCP is claimed to have less than the third of Azure's market share. And AWS is still comfortably in first place. It also depends a lot on how they count these market shares. Once we go past the basic renting of
