I took it to mean this. Nothing is more discouraging long-term than the prospect of not having any funding in the future.

In order for it to be a solution against AI it needs to also work for courses with bigger numbers.

The jack actually broke on my old xps. Changing it with an aliexpress replacement took about 15 minutes and something like 3€ So yeah, they break, but they are (or used to be?) quite cheap to fix (and this was one of the super thin 13"

I'm not familiar with the German universiry system, but I think a 1 hour, 2 professors (or one professor and one PhD student) would be impossible to scale. A class of about 100 students could take an entire month! (or better, 2-months

Internet didn't disappear after the dotcom crash, but a lot of money did. This is what could happen here I think.

Three/four years of (honest) work is usually worth to publish. The result might not be high impact (and thus end up in a lower tier journal, sadly) but knowing what didn't work is also a valid output.

This is one of my favourites Internet conspiracies from those times. I'm somewhat sad conspiracy theories are not that playful anymore...

I've charged a Mac with the Switch cable, and a Switch with the Mac brick. Nowadays I charge everything with the same brick from a dell laptop from 2018. Is it the most efficient? Probably not. Is it hurting the batteries of my devices

Usually it is obvious, but sometimes you'll find weird combinations (or surnames that are usually names) that can throw you off. The trick (both for Portuguese and Spanish) is to treat the last two words as the family name and whatever

If you read the last link you'll see he just means Apple could slash its hardware margins (if needed) and still make tons of money. As we saw recently, they decided they are, after all, a hardware company, since they decided not to sla

I like the aur wrappers for the convenience, but if I've already limited my AUR consumption quite a bit, I think from now on all aur updates will be manual. One thing programs like yay could do though is to tie the packages to the main

I think it is simpler than that. For a lot of people he's the one who "created the AI"* so he is the reason they have been fired. That's it, I don't think much of the rest has any weight outside internet forums like

The issue I see here is: what counts as social media? Is this site social media? Will anything with a comment box be banned? If yes, what about online newspapers? If not, how will they prevent almost-social-media sites from popping up? How

I agree. This is the first time I regret updating macOs. I hoped the .1 or .2 would fix things, but I'm still seeing glitches and even random freezes. Microsoft is a disaster right now, but if the new intel processor can compete on bat

I find the "censorship" frame funny. This is happening because certain countries in Europe are governed by soccer oligarchs instead of big tech. Choose your poison, I guess.

I'm in the same boat. Although I would also be willing to go back to Apple if they release a truly small phone. But I'm forced to carry one of these gigantic beasts I want to be able to take (handwritten) notes with it.

As far as I know it is only EU. Both UK and Switzerland have some operators that roam and some that do not. fwiw, fastweb in Italy provides roaming in both and has a very generous fair usage policy.

I'd be fine with a warning. You can just dismiss it and continue doing your thing. It is a bit more convoluted in macOS now but still something quick. What Google is saying is that I need to install adb, search for a cable, connect it

iirc, part of the problem is that the main ISP (Movistar) is also a football rightholder (Movistar +). So they have decided that blocking cloudflare is profitable for them.

Hi Charlie what happens in a situation in which I might have access to a login node, from which I can install packages, but then the computing nodes don't have internet access. Can I define in some hardware.toml the target system and i

Not GP, but for me it means that this is affordable for someone "not a billionaire" (for example if your family happens to be from London since generations). I would keep the London house given the choice though :P

This is what I fear as well: some companies might adopt a "sustainable" approach to AI, but others will dynamite the entry path to their companies. Of course, if your only goal is to sell a unicorn and be out after three years, wh

Very interestingly, I tried to write "gender" and mistakenly wrote "gendea". The search engine, trying to be helpful, gave me: "No results found for 'gendea'. Showing results for gender" And voilà, I

While I don't particularly like twitter (X), in a situation like this it probably has a better reach than the website of REE. That said, twitter should allow for official profiles and organizations to have their tweets (xs?) made publi

I think anaconda's rug pull was on the repository (you can still use packages from conda-forge for free). uv just uses pypi, so it would be just a question of changing from uv to pip, poetry or whatever, all packages would still be com

I felt real joy reading this, thanks :) As someone starting to feel a bit of burnout I think I needed to read something like this.

Same here. I'm still using my 11" MacBook because it is the only one that fits in my handbag :)

I'm so fed up with subscriptions that I didn't realize it was a one-time payment. Time to get my license :)

I also fell into the neovim pit of plugin horrors. The good news is, you can get out, empty completely your config (or rather, go back to vim) and start from scratch with only what you need. (I now make sure that my config works equally wel
