GDPR is more than that. Consent or not, there are things bad actors can do in the USA that in the EU they just can't. Specially to children and vulnerable people. GDPR is an integral part of it. This is a small but significant first st

The closest to a short answer I can give: I have been infatuated with this industry (not just AI, but tech in general) since I was a kid in the 80s. I have seen lots of hype. Nothing even close to this. That is already a very good reason: T

I understand the frustration. I have the uttermost reverence for distro maintainers and I love distro repos. I like that my OS is a consistent and well thought suite of aligned tools mindfully put together by a collective that knows what th

I agree. It reads like a cook book rather than a dictionary of tech specs. No spam getting in in the way of getting things running and getting things right; If you need details you can go to individual package docs from maintainers and proj

Good article describing a boilerplate framework & techniques for (web) backend systems architecture implemented with off-the-shelf components. But like every systems architect I have ever met, it does not even put a thought into securit

I like the approach taken by several authors from Asimov in "The End of Eternity" to Star Trek or Loki on TV: Time travel is not allowed except for entities that live outside of time in a way that is not meaningfully perceived by

F9 produces such a consistently and ridiculously good, cool, fun, and educational *social media content*; that it is installed permanently as a cognitive dissonance in the back of my mind.

Why are they so bad? They want you to keep using them, so they have to be bad enough. Why hasn't anybody made a good one? Maybe they have, but they are not around for long. It is not a good business: Little growth potential, no recurri

I wouldn't ask this question to other people. Not about a specific company. I would look for core values and culture that align with mine, and the kind of impact I can have or the position sets me up for. Large renowned companies look

My first computer was a Sinclair clone hooked up to the only TV we had at home. So was the case for so many people in my country in the 80s who couldn't afford the disproportionately more expensive machines. Kudos to this genius for br

Well I agree with you. And I also suspected those numbers, to be honest. A sudden increase to 80% of total production? 80% from what? Since when? But I did not do a lot of research: I tried to find sources as the article is not only vague o

This. If only every other country with oil managed their wealth with such good intentions and for the common good the whole world would most certainly be way far ahead in getting rid of much of our dependency on it. So no, I do not think th

You know why release a product to the market that lasts longer when you can just hold the patent and make shitty panels that have to be replaced every so often? Forget the competitors. Forgive the cynicism but this was clearly a 20 year lon

TL;DR: (Without providing any hard data to back it up) - Design bugs are (more) expensive to fix after implementation. (I really don't want to be an asshole here. The piece is well written. Particularly the part where it criticizes how

I do a lot of work for personal projects on an old 2.6Kg 2011 laptop I never felt the need to replace. I have no doubt I can produce benchmarks on this laptop involving daily tasks any average user does that would destroy any M1 device. Als

bollocks. M1 devices are quality products. A more than necessary innovation. I expect them to do well if sold at reasonable prices. The strategy of trying to sell them as outperforming the big boys on computationally intensive tasks, on the

I also find hilarious how following this principle of "let's torture data until we make it say what we want" the headline for the exact same article could perfectly be "why abstaining hurts"

Wow, what a generous transformation from "abstaining could help" (as in certain cases on certain scenarios) to "abstaining helps". Somehow I keep forgetting I live in the polarized era of click-bait and misleading uninfo
