Ugh, that's a pretty bad name collision.

Absolutely not a good read. Informative, but it tortures the language, as is usual for slop.

It already supports that, try running "jpackage --help".

by tadfisher 6d ago
Are you describing jpackage? I'm not sure how you would make it less bespoke, given you are essentially creating a Java runtime for your program. Maybe the Java folks could tree-shake the runtime for you so you wouldn't have to ca

It's not funny at all, it's deeply alarming. I'm in the wrong bar.

Yes. The main issue is hardware attestation, e.g. the bank's backend refusing to allow you to log in unless you can prove cryptographically that you are running a Google-certified device and operating system.

I suspect your hypothesis is not falsifiable. Maybe randomly advertising golf balls to random people is just as effective, but we don't have the tracking infrastructure in place for non-targeted ads in order to test that theory.

Now that the AI label exists, the creators using AI for an intro graphic or background music are probably going to stop using it.

No, you see, they were right all along, they just "didn't anticipate the public outcry against data center expansion", thus the obviously inevitable AI takeover of the economy is being slowed by NIMBY curmudgeons who should b

You need a desirable currency for that to work. Not every currency has a volume like the USD and Euro.

Wouldn't OHA agreements prevent shipping a non-Google-certified Android? Unless you mean a future device with GrapheneOS might potentially go through CTS and ship with Google apps preinstalled?

The labeling of groups as "terrorist" is intended to justify authorization for military action against those groups, where, prior to the Global War on Terror, state affiliation or outright sponsorship was typically needed for a mi

Sorry, we're on the wrong timeline. The worse one, in fact.

This is no longer funny.

Because it is somehow incapable of separating the conversation with its human operator from the code it is generating and commenting on. Incidentally, this is also why prompt-injection works. No one wants to know about the three other appro

The question is, are we going to have another Volcker willing to raise the prime rate to 20% to counteract our useless legislative branch? Or is the idea of an independent central bank dead at this point?

He can do that without the "Roman salute" part. Or the "methane reactors without emission controls" part. Or the "whining about the great replacement" part.

They could have made basically the same thing except with a sprocket to help drive the chain.

Maybe an "event outcome prediction contract" simply ought not to be considered a "commodity" under any consistent interpretation of the law and the English fucking language.

Visas are capped and farmers don't want to pay for pesky safety things like seatbelts in the transportation vans.

Oh, there is such a rich history of exploiting the underprivileged in the US. The more interesting bits lately center around a special visa for agricultural migrant workers, called the H2-A, which offers some basic worker protections (a min

Your narrative is embellished and does not correlate strongly with the data [1]. Embellished: marriage rates are 33.8% for Black women and 37.8% for Black men, neither of which I would round to 25%. Uncorrelated: marriage rates dropped shar

One answer is that ALPRs have much too high an error rate (John Oliver claims it exceeds 30%) to rely on them for dragnet surveillance. Maybe it makes sense to track specific vehicles, with safeguards such as warrants and also checking make

Careful, I was called a "radical" on this site for suggesting a corporate death penalty. Because jobs are so important that when a corporation risks its own existence so it can break laws, dissolving the corporation as punishment

The problem here is not the ATC union failing to enforce safety measures, it's the federal agency whose job that is failing to do their job, and Congress for failing to oversee the organization effectively.

This deserves about as large of a "[citation needed]" as one could draw. Are you well-studied in neuroscience?

Honestly, Linux is so thoroughly Tivo-ized on these things that it is not really worth the effort. You will be forever locked into the official firmware's kernel, nonfree drivers and firmware blobs. Pretty much the same problem as most

What does debugging Markdown even mean? What is a Markdown-heavy project? Is this a generated comment?

Receipts please. This is counter to everything I've read about the technology.
