Reminds me of BadBIOS, a little bit

Underrated comment

I doubt anyone here has planted a tree. We talk of action and do nothing. Every time I mention trees, I am told that instead we need expensive contraptions made out of mined materi…

This is not a solution or in any way clever. Critical ignoring of wrongthink is praised, while critical ignoring of the winning party is punished.

Call me cynical but my immediate impression that the gamedev is lying and exploiting the perceived asymmetry between the indie dev and the behemoth that is Steam. Attaching your ga…

For what it's worth, I don't think using Signal or Threema is enough to make you an E2EE enthusiast, and wanting to speak without your speech later used against you is maybe the pu…

I was very unclear, sorry about that. The bulk of my comment addresses the content of the comment section here, not your article. Comments about how data collection can be used to …

I find it tiresome that blogposts about privacy always end up devolving into a discussion about how data can be used against individuals. There is a flip side to that coin, which i…

What does this mean for customers of Meta, Microsoft, and PayPal? Are we consenting to having our data more carefully handled?

I've never used micro, but if you look at the default keybindings[0], you'll see they're very Windows-y and might be to your liking. As for myself, I don't see cut-to-character or …

I have stopped using my dehumidifier, now I shall live forever.

Probably not what the parent poster was talking about, but fear is a great inhibitor. Excessively high standards for documentation and depth of scope might inhibit less experienced…

Odd. The high memory bandwidth of M2 intrigues me but I have not seen many people having success with AI apps on Apple Silicon. Which LLMs run better on Apple silicon than comparab…

The post is short so I'll paste it here. If this is against the rules please ban me. -----begin copy paste----- The 4600G is currently selling at price of $95. It includes a 6-core…

It is not the same. The US government does not partially own Instagram or Twitter, and I've never seen pro-US narratives driven on either platform. I usually see the opposite if an…

I was disappointed that these robots simply move in a toddler-like fashion as they learn. I did not read anywhere in the article that AI agents learn from toddlers. If this is an a…

I agree. The way I see it is that browser is more of an HTTP response viewer than a REST client.

Generally I agree with you, drivers get away with murder too easily, however in this case this woman's crime was not paying attention in a self driving car. What if instead she had…

This seems backwards to me in 2023. Logs seem like valuable data to train your AI on in order to automate as much of the basic inference away as possible.

This notion of security is stale. Real security is far more complex than this, requiring automated provisioning and logging. This is more suitable for a VPS or a personal VM than a…

To break from the party line and parrot that E2E encryption is a human right for just a moment, does anyone else experience the same fatigue with communities on encrypted platforms…

Ben Greenfield, who is regarded as somewhat of a quack, has for a long time advocated for isometric exercise. I always found him interesting so I followed his blog for a while. I a…

"DessertSQL" in English but I thought we were past quirky names.

Naming issues and critiques of this new font aside, I'm glad the era of Calibri is coming to an end. What a horrible font that was, unparalleled in its ability to make any copy loo…
