    Literally the second line of the article addresses your questions by linking to the source code repo under discussion. Every single one of the sidebars about the topics being discu…

    The guy below downvoted for insulting SV and saying "read chapter 5" is correct: Read Chapter 5, the "Symbiote or Parasite" one you've partially quoted here. It's a real banger. Re…

    The original title, "State of multi-player Wayland" is a much better summary of the article. This ain't just about the pointers! In fact, the author is very explicit about that: > …

    You'll see this kind of fun in other databases that support "persistent connections." When you start up, you have absolutely no idea what the state of the database is. If a previou…

    No, actually, an interactive textual conversation is a significantly different thing than a television show.

    The reason for this is that there are still drivers for old hardware that hook into the old control panel elements to actually function. If you get rid of the control panel applets…

    Man, I wish that tool was available fifteen years ago. All of our machines in our half-Linux half-Windows manufacturing operation were Q chips with vPro motherboards, that we (I) c…

    I'm not surprised that nobody noticed it at all. That's because it's not a KVM that you can purchase and test, the subject to the article. Instead, you're just talking about IMPIjr…

    Life. Being alive. I'm not going to get into a semantic debate with you so don't bother following up with some whining about conflating life and consciousness. It's autocomplete. I…

    Consciousness excludes all current AI because all current AI is just autocomplete over the corpus of human text. It's just a word machine. There are no thoughts. It cannot be consc…

    The button renders itself after the user interface is complete. It bumps over all the other buttons to the right. The home or work button gets replaced with the AI button. This is …

    You seem to be missing the entire point of the exercise and perhaps you should go back and read the article again to understand what you're missing.

    That article is approaching 15 years old and no longer reflects reality.

    You should read the article and gain understanding of the thing that you think you're criticizing. Then you will understand the parent comment. Your argument is a non-sequitur.

    Sounds like the words of someone that doesn't pay for their data use. Silicon Valley is not the world.

    Nope! The Chrome updater on Windows 11 ignores the metered flag.

    Google's updater service also currently ignores the windows 11 metered connection hint. It will gladly download that model over your cell connection even if you have a data cap. Th…
