You mean, what about the tall, handsome, well-dressed creepy men? The dichotomy is not conventionally attractive/creepy, it's understands boundaries/creepy.

Do they, really? Because putting data centers in space would mean multiplying the infrastructure cost by a few orders of magnitude, while being far, far away from cheap energy - photovoltaics would work, certainly, but it will take a lot

You don't necessarily need a computer for that. They built more than a billion typewriters, IIRC.

Yes? There is nothing incoherent with disliking something and putting in effort to see less of it. "Ignore it" is an answer, not the only possible answer, and probably not the optimal one in the long term.

For some reason, I was actually expecting a map of metals - tungsten, uranium and such. Not sure why.

Said human would likely not be able to create a clean-room implementation of any of the codebases they worked on.

That's exactly the problem. Digital natives have, by and large, grown up with computing devices which try their best to be the opposite of general-purpose: their skills are siloed to the few apps they rely on, and e.g. files, keyboa

Yes. In five years, once the PMOS devs manage to get a 2025 device in working state, they might have less devices to play around with, so there could be an indirect effect on the project. What I struggle to believe - what I don't be

Right now, their wiki page on device support [0] lists zero actual devices as "fully supported": > These are the most supported devices, maintained by at least 2 people and have the functions you expect from the device running

Not quite - the chip the article refers to is the 47L04 [0], which is "just" NVSRAM built out of a RAM + EEPROM. I do agree on FeRAM being cool, though - I have a few I2C chips en route, and I can't wait to get my hands on

Setting aside general-purpose LLMs, there exist a handful of models geared towards translation between hundred of language pairs: Meta's NLLB-200 [0] and M2M-100 [1] can be run using HuggingFace's transformers (plus numpy and sent

You can't say "$TRAIT is binary " when you follow that up with "$TRAIT can only be true, false, or sometimes something else". That's not a binary trait by definition .

Lynx is a well-known project which has been around for far longer than Github even existed - since 1992, in fact - which is in any case irrelevant, since it's not developed on GitHub: the commits for ThomasDickey/lynx-snapshots ar

I am still using a 2012 X230 and it taking 40 seconds to boot already feels slow. Six minutes sounds like an HDD boot, but console lagging? I don't know how that could even happen - I occasionally run OpenBSD on an even older Atom ne

It sounds like 95% of shops - of shops you know well enough to have an opinion about - should get their shit together , then. Why should people tolerate their sloppiness ?

Where is the GP taking a pro-EU or anti-EU stance? Where are they arguing against "ad revenue decrease" which "created more problem for small companies", or the impact of GDPR on the EU R&D budget?

Yes. You should have a system for tracking every single dataset containing personal data: that data does not belong to you . You are just its steward. You should have had such a system even before GDPR came into existence, but after it d

They aren't that uncommon outside of physical stores, where board game nerds gather - off the top of my head I can think of at least three similar multi-game decks: Everdeck [0], Badger Deck [1], and Singularity Deck [2], while a curso
