About Wowfunhappy

I used to work in web development and I still do some programming as a hobby, but I'm currently a fifth grade teacher (because I love working with kids).

My email is my username and gmail. As long as you're not a bot and you're not trying to sell me something, I'd really love to hear from you!

    Exactly, isn't that nuts? Especially when we're now paying 15-years-ago prices per gigabyte. What are we getting for that additional space?

    I'm backporting the modern 2026 WebKit framework to work with Safari 7 on OS X Mavericks, from 2013. With the updated frameworks in place, this ancient browser becomes able to acce…

    True, but I don't really think that accounts for the increase in memory usage.

    ...you know, I keep reading all this stuff about memory prices, and it does suck, but memory is still much cheaper per gigabyte than it was ~15 years ago. Which matters because the…

    "Complete subservience and complete intelligence do not go together." I'm not convinced this is true. Perhaps for a human it is, but we can give an artificial mind whatever propert…

    Okay but then is the RF connection really your biggest concern? I'm kind of worried (probably unnecessarily) that posting ideas would get me on some list, but it seems like there w…

    The versions which haven't been post-trained not to go hack stuff? Yes, I would say those models should be exclusively run on intranets. OpenAI said the model was sandboxed, so the…

    Why aren't these tests being run airgapped?! I just don't understand! This goes both for TFA and the similar incident with OpenAI and HuggingFace. I mean, sure, OpenAI had a "sandb…

    ...huh, do the online license checks only happen if you have the cartridge sharing stuff enabled? Wondering when/if I would run into this, I haven't yet. But I never use their "vir…

    Isn't this problem specific to Xbox and PC? I know for sure that first party Nintendo games are playable 100% offline, not sure about Sony?

    What games? One thing I do appreciate about the Switch is that most first party games come fully playable on cartridge. I bought Splatoon Raiders the other day on the way to the tr…
