It’s not ironic. Once you remove the biggest danger (fast cars), fast bikes take the top spot.

The Boeing 787 has a bleedless system. It uses dedicated electric compressors for the cabin air.

ARC was basically avoiding typing retain/release when using Cocoa libraries. If you don’t want to use ARC in Swift, use Unmanaged. Same for autolayout, just use view frames and bounds if you want. And Interface Builder comes all the wa

No, Windows 95 had memory protection for 32-bit apps. Usually when a 32-bit app crashed, the rest of the OS worked fine.

The funny example from a few months ago asked chatgpt 5.2 if one should walk to the car wash because it’s close by, and it answered yes. This shows that it is in fact sentence continuation and not real intelligence or consciousness (whateve

It's not a cheap shot at all. OP is asking why the government is using tax payer money to finance air shows instead of healthcare, regardless of free markets and business regulations. In fact, there could be less air shows (and thus le

The brain uses a lot less energy than an LLM, so most probably it is something completely different. Maybe consciousness is a byproduct of the architecture of the brain, so there is no version of a humanoid with no consciousness.

If you wouldn’t, why would a big chunk of the population do it? And if they did it, so what? Why is blonde and blue eyes bad? Btw, I also wouldn’t if I could choose.

Would you pick blond hair, blue eyes for your kids? Would black people pick it? Asian?

Several cruise missiles where fired at the school specifically. And anyways, “we didn’t really want to bomb the school” is a sorry excuse.

Having qemm386 solved the issue. I think MSDOS 6 had something like it too.

Why should the US intervene in a bombing campaign against Iran if the problem is between Hamas and Israel?
16.
by mmustapic 6mo ago
I said that if the US hadn’t intervened in the war then the school wouldn’t have been bombed, and you switched to Hamas and Israel.

by mmustapic 6mo ago
So what does the US have to do with this?

But I can't have the weights of the LLM model I'm using for this.

The issue was starting an unnecessary war. When you did, then all the deaths are on you.

by mmustapic 6mo ago
The US attacked Iran because Israel was going to do so anyway. If they didn't attack, that missile wouldn't have killed 150 schoolgirls. Sure, the target was a mistake, but mistakes happen when you shoot thousands of missiles and

The one I like better is: software is great at playing chess, doesn't mean you cannot play too

No, the free software movement wants that the source code of the software you use be available to you to modify it if you wish. AI does not necessarily do that.

The Voodoo was fast but also expensive, and you needed an additional VGA card. I think it was around USD 300 back then, that's more than USD 600 today and you'll still need another card.

You are only thinking about people and creativity in the workplace. Creativity can be applied anywhere: cooking, a new route on your way to somewhere, read some random paragraphs in a book that spawns new thoughts, a new game with a child,

What you mention is true, but Lego sets are (almost always) very well designed, specially the ones for kids.
26.
by mmustapic 6mo ago
Lego is some kind of cultural icon now, and many people want to participate. That's why they have tons of sets aimed at adults over many themes, like plastic flowers, formula 1 helmets, old video game consoles. Many of them are a reall

It is a set for nostalgic adults. In fact, it is 50% larger so a grown up can hold it in their hands and feel it massive, like kids did in the 80s.

5yo sets have smaller pieces but also use big foundational pieces. Also the builds are simpler and better explained. Sets for 8yo are more complex.

The Game Boy is apparently one of the best sets of 2025, cleverly built and a nice display item. Still, it is for adults, kids have tons of other sets to choose from.

Lego was always expensive, you can compare prices adjusted for inflation. For example, the 1979 Galaxy Explorer < https://brickset.com/sets/497-1 > was around $32, that's $144 today. The reimagined set from 20
