    More like straight out of a 1992 era build of POV-Ray 3D

    Based on what I've seen so far, I'm thinking a timeline more like 5-10 years where anything involving at least frontend has all but evaporated. What value is there in having a gian…

    I expect pretty much the opposite to happen: it makes sense for languages, stacks and interfaces to become more amenable to interfacing with AI. If a machine can act more reliably …

    There will always be "real thinking" roles in software but the sheer pressure on salaries from the vastly increasing free labour pool will lead to an outcome a bit like embedded so…

    I'd put solid money on Warner earning a few cents every time an AI girlfriend somewhere sings happy birthday within 10 years

    As I recall it, there was a time when copyright infringement on YouTube was so prolific that the rightsholders essentially forced creation of the first watermarking system that wor…

    the IP rights holders have yet to bare their teeth. I don't think the outcome you suggest is clear at all, in fact I think if anything entirely the opposite is the most probable ou…

    The frequency of AI cope posts appears set to keep increasing until the very last one of us is fired. The reality is that users simply don't care about any concern to be found disc…

    More efficient hardware mappings will happen, and as a sibling comment says, power requirements will drop like a rock. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hz4cs-hGew for som…

    UML and "as little overhead as possible" probably shouldn't appear in the same train of thought. I remember it from the very earliest Linux VPS providers, IIRC it only got semi-usa…

    would love to see this test repeated with a non-compositing WM on X11

    It gets more interesting when you think about the impact on groups. Sending an image to a group is enough for all devices associated with that group to be identifiable from CloudFl…

    Someone mentioned "App Store" during a meeting, probably accidentally. It's a known killer, the tech world equivalent of sneezing while carrying an infectious disease

    That clearly seems the case, doesn't mean the video wasn't worth making though. This situation would terrify a lot of people

    I don't know how meaningful it is any more, but with long polling with a short timeout and a gracefully ended request (i.e. chunked encoding with an eof chunk sent rather than disc…

    I think you're confusing this with the 60 GHz band (WiGig)

    This is the first "rewrite it in rust" reason I've heard that actually makes total sense, congratulations. Ability to safely hack on ancient code really does sound attractive

    It sounds like you might know the answer to this. Would it be straightforward to use this for sandboxed headless file conversion? You can do that already with LibreOffice, but it's…
