If they eventually support Snow Leopard or Tiger, that would fill the enormous emulation donut hole of PowerPC Mac.

Everybody from OpenAI to Micron to the US Government is actively colluding to keep things going. I would love for you to be right, but I'm cynical from the decades that have been s…

The auto-translation especially bothers me. Kinda cool for casual viewing... but the inability to disable it gives me an immediate skeptical "this entire channel is probably AI slo…

Also worth going through the references of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law

> Are there systems that can boot CD-ROM interfaces that don't have USB boot capability still? New x64 systems? Probably not. But since it still supports x86 and a whole slew of ot…

Different lineage[1] as (partially) mentioned above; the ukulele evolved from small Portuguese instruments[2], and is tuned about 3 full steps higher. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/…

That's the first time I've heard microtonal work in a rock setting. Pretty good! I see your added frets, and raise "add frets on the fly using Lego": https://www.youtube.com/watch?…

For plucked instruments, besides ease of use, it adds clarity and sustain. Orchestra AFAIK only has Pizzicato where that would matter.

Is it legally better ? Absolutely. But all they have to do is say "they did this as a legal workaround for that" and you're no better off, at least not without spending the same am…

IMO: It's not learning that's the problem. It's learning and verifying you actually learned. I'm not saying "unless you can solve homework problems you haven't learned", but... kin…

At least until a prosecutor tries to charge them with a sex crime, and you get caught in the trouble.

I like btop, but there are downsides: 1.) No zram/zswap statistics. (Though htop only supports zram also.) 2.) No ZFS statistics breakdown. 3.) Doesn't support Arc GPU yet. 4.) I c…

I wish they'd make it easier to adjust individual engine's weight, ideally right from the UI instead of a config file. Personally, after bumping up Google/Wiby and bumping down DDG…

> There’s still a lot of utility stations in the LF/longwave band. Particularly time signals (WWVB in the US, ALS162 in France, DCF77 in Germany, JJY in Japan, etc.) I meant just t…

IMO, when the last LW transmitter shuts down, the whole band needs to be reallocated to hams. Realistic small-ish antennas are shockingly doable with a capacitance hat, loading coi…

Looks like a 980B. Pic from a DC-8 sim for reference. https://i.imgur.com/b3py96N.jpeg https://imgur.com/gallery/dc-8-simulator-xY7eS
