I don't have an axe to grind, but this story piqued my interest. So here's some more context: - SunJun8's original issue text is still available at the linked issue. The gist is th…

I guess I had never considered at face value what that kind of arrangement means until reading this DOJ document. It makes total sense to me that committing terrible crimes should …

His rhetoric towards Maduro has a good consistency, yes. Mind you, his messaging on corruption in government, domestic terrorism, Ukraine, and the free-market economy in the U.S. i…

It's surreal to read written arguments defending an "extraordinary rendition" using the military in terms of domestic criminal cases. And to so plainly state that international law…

Tinnitus is sometimes neurological, seemingly caused by the brain compensating for a loss of sensation. I can imagine a horror story in which this just makes it a thousand times wo…

As a user, I'm under the impression YouTube uses click follow-through for algorithm feedback. For the past two years, I've consistently gotten more random content with ~100 views s…

>> Unsurprisingly, the combined solver performed the best, solving the puzzle in an average of 4.77 moves. The quantum solver was next, with an average of 5.32 moves, while the cla…

Links to the article and the PDF both are behind this human test. Guess today is the day I learned I'm a robot.

As all eight Ivy Leagues collectively received this amount in funding in 2024, it would appear that Yale is planning for a longer-term drought. Aside, I tried to copy the title to …

The point about entry into massive, maybe untractable datasets makes sense to me. I get the usefulness of GenAI there for sure. Another commenter suggested: >> Its more like, here …

It sure seems like the use of GenAI in these scenarios is a detriment rather than a useful tool if, in the end, the operator must interrogate it to a fine enough level of detail th…

That's kind of a bummer, but still neat to have built-in self-hosting. I think I've seen videos of perfboard computers that allow manual data entry with pushbuttons and manual cloc…

This. Skill sharing among a small tribe is the most effective way to survive a catastrophe, and I am concerned modern societies are poorly conditioned to do it well. Speaking from …

I think it's really cool to create minimalist OSes. Something about perfboard projects and old, slow CPUs tickles my buttons. But I'm struggling to come up with a use case for this…

Beyond LARPing the feasibility of building new computers post societal collapse, the website's proposal for collapse being so imminent is... weakly justified? I'm not an optimist i…

My drive-by opinion: "telecommuting" has an advantage in optics/marketing and flexibility over "work from home" for both business leaders and employees. If I tell a board of direct…

I found on 136.0.0-ish that some settings persist despite checking/unchecking that box and restarting LibreWolf, but YMMV. I also manually inspect 'about:config' and search there f…
