I've been on Mastodon for a few years, and though it has less drama than Twitter/X, it does seem to have reached critical mass of users and does cover most of my needs for random gossip. I am surprised that that nobody has mention

You can always hide in your own country, as long as you or the people who protect you are able to stay in power, but at least you cannot use the rest of the world as playground or shopping center. Sucks to be a rich kleptocrat and not be ab

There is no memory overhead, in that everything resides on disk/in the sqlite database, and is read from there on demand. That said, sqlite for blob storage is a bit inefficient, so the next version will use tightly packed structs on d

Smoke free perhaps but not nicotine free by far. I live in Denmark and have a teenage son, he tells me that 90% of girls at his year are hooked on illegally imported and unregulated vapes, much stronger in nicotine than cigarettes, and in s

It is not that long ago that smartphones would die from moisture exposure if you left them in the bathroom while taking a shower. I had a girlfriend around 2001 who spent all her savings on a shiny new Nokia 8250, got drunk and barfed on he

In Denmark, wind mills were initially quite popular, because locals owned them and benefited. The iconic wind farm Middelgrunden on the waters outside of Copenhagen is 50% owned by a co-op. https://www.middelgrunden.dk/

Good point, an int3 is not going to be faster than a syscall, and if they implement the sandboxing policy in guest userspace is seems it would be quite easy to disable.

I think the point here is optimizing for the common case, the untrusted code is still running inside a VM, so you can still trap malicious or corner cases using a more heavy-handed method. The blog post does mention "self-healing"

I have been developing local AI on Apple devices since 2019, and they already had great AI support via Accelerate and MPS back then. Contrast to the Windows DirectML fiasco, which was basically just finger-pointing between MS, Intel and AMD

When I lived in the US I was surprised about how casually everyone treated DUI. In Northern Europe, where I am from, driving after drinking is socially unacceptable in Generation X and younger.

GameGlobe from Haptico and Square Enix, the engine of which also powered Project Spark from Microsoft, also used an SDF engine. Former colleagues of mine built the tech in Copenhagen and I remember getting a super impressive demo back then.

In Northern Europe we have lots of fast chargers now, and apart from Tesla, which is open to anyone with their app, none are tied to a particular car brand. I’ve never encountered problems fast-charging my BMWs. Most cars you can buy today

At least in Denmark where I live, since Tesla started competing on cost a few years ago, and then the DOGE fiasco. It’s the car you get if you’re already a Tesla owner and hardcore believer, or just see a car as a means of transportation an
