I actually managed to travel from one star system to another in DSP without warp, they happened to be just close enough that a full inventory of fuel was just barely enough to make the trip.

Tbh, I don't see the use case for Robinson when Winkel-Tripel exists. For almost all use cases where you need a political world map, Winkel-Tripel is the better choice. Equal earth also has its uses, it's a neat and clean map, but

We've had mathematical problems solved by brute force in the past. We've then improved that through systems similar to prolog intentionally searching a tree. Then systems added heuristics for which paths in that tree are likely to

There's a simple rule: someone of higher intelligence can successfully pretend to be someone of lower intelligence, but not the other way around. Humans can successfully pretend to be LLMs, but LLMs are still not successful at pretendi

Humans are AGI simply because if they want to, they can achieve it (it just takes some effort).

Great, could you tell me which headphones I can use without adapter on Zoom F6, Yamaha DM3, Behringer Wing panels, Focusrite Scarlett interfaces and smartphones? Currently we're using Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro and some MDR-7506. They&#x27

USB DACs themselves are fine, but many wireless headphones that also support USB-C run active processing with unpredictable latency.

They're still significantly worse than the builtin 3.5mm ports Sony provides, and they're obviously still a major inconvenience.

Regarding the differentiated branding, I've been hoping for a GrapheneLite for many years now. Regarding direct AOSP support, there are many devices that work fine with just the generic system image, which I'd count as direct AOSP

I have been using Sony Xperia's since the Pixel 1 phased out the headphone jack, and the Xperias have had better 3.5mm jacks than even many dedicated DACs. Physical SIMs being phased out seems to be primarily a US thing right now, but

Have you seen the raw images you get out of those cameras? They're still the same grainy low res webcam sensors they were 10 years ago (if not worse), most of the improvement is just AI hallucinating details.

If there will be a GrapheneOS image for the Pixel 11 without MTE, could that open the door for GrapheneOS on a lot more phones that support AOSP?

And that's why I refuse to buy phones without microSD slot. I've got 2TB of storage in a $300 phone, for all my music and photos.

And then there's Apple, selling new MacBooks with 8GB RAM (e.g., the neo)

Does this mean we might finally get a phone with 3.5mm jack, microSD slot and GrapheneOS support? I believe I've been asking for that for 10 years now.

In 2019, only 20% of Germans had a Visa/Mastercard. The vast majority of Germans used the German GiroCard network, as many vendors refused Visa/Mastercard due to the higher fees (2-3% vs GiroCard's 0.125%), and there was no r

The first three generations of the Moto G were developed under the US branch of Motorola Mobility, when they were owned by Google. That "growing too large to be useful" was exactly when they were sold to Lenovo.

What prompts? I merely did a regular Google Search, with typical keywords like I've done since 2004, and the automated AI overview showed a clearly wrong result https://i.k8r.eu/1Pc-Tw.png And why is that so hard for y

This was Google Search's AI overview. But AI isn't much better.

I get hallucinations every day, including ones where Google is mixing up three different similarly named products, or is telling me that I can mix two cleaning products (which would create chlorine gas). Tested today (2026-08-08). Or a sear

That's where you're wrong. It sounds close to AI, but it's very clearly not AI generated. Let's look at > So let me be plain about it: Claude was not here. No LLM wrote this—not a sentence of it, nor was it outlined,

I disagree. It has none of the rhythm of AI generated text. Even humans that copy AI patterns adopt the AI rhythm at least on smaller scale. But this follows human structure and rhythm through and through, whether on the level of sentences,

Same, the post has an entirely different speech rhythm than AI. In Walter Murch's "In the Blink of an Eye" he describes how, when cutting a movie, the reason cuts work at all is because human experience has cuts: we blink. Mo

I do notice and realize, and I've gotten to the point where I had to fork and patch most of them to fix the shitty AI generated code. It's so bad, and so everywhere , that I'm genuinely considering switching to a pre-AI stab

Then why is it that ALL content generated by LLMs, no matter who prompted it, is of such low quality?

Every time Grok gives the "wrong" answer, Elon Musk does another lobotomy on it. So it certainly seems like at least some models are being censored.

The OS provides restrictions and permissions so that the user can apply them to apps. If the user chooses to free certain apps from restrictions, that should be their choice. But if a piece of software overrides the users' choice, that
