    Honestly I find this quite frustrating. I really dislike when folks like yourself take your product-focused mindset into open source/public domain projects. These people are NOT BU…

    Having used cars that had that "supervised" driving feature.... Gosh, I hope you were paying 100% attention the whole time of that driving experience you described. Even the smart …

    The fact also remains that fraud (even if it's not prosecuted) is fraud. You promise X and deliver... not X, for years? You're a fraud. Even if you are getting better at delivering…

    It sounds like you're recklessly interpreting the parameters by which your "self driving" car was made available to you Did it also drive itself back to your home empty?

    I'll believe it when they accept liability for the actions of their autonomous vehicles. Videos mean nothing.

    Haha it definitely takes the content moderation problems and distributes then across all the instances. But that's kind of the whole point. You can join an instance that moderates …

    What weird fake information you're posting. Yes, administrators of fediverse servers can read your personal correspondence -- same as Facebook, X, and other social media sites that…

    You missed the initial part, where the signer finger spells the concept the first time they use it, and then they come up with a sign representing it. By doing so, they've shown th…

    I searched lore.kernel.org and couldn't find any postings that propose using this in the kernel. I'd encourage you to share a proposal, otherwise the "kernel team" will never be in…

    (warning: pedantic comment) "et alia" is used to refer to "the others (people)" whereas "et cetera" is used to refer to "the others (things)". So you'd use "et cetera" to refer to …

    This presupposes an awful lot. If it were truly a risk free magic wand you could wave, then I could see your point. But none of the current options are risk free, and I doubt this …

    At the end of the show there are boxes to return the wristband so it can be reused/recycled. The vast majority return them, except a small portion who may keep it as a souvenir or …

    I think if you're not willing to manually verify the output of these generative machine learned algorithms, then you probably shouldn't present them to somebody as if you've done t…

    My understanding is that it was basically a condition enforced by the maintainers of the Linux TCP / networking subsystems. If you look at the initial upstreaming discussions[1], t…

    Using DWARF is annoying with perf because the kernel doesn't support stack unwinding with DWARF, and never will. The kernel has to be the one which unwinds the user space stacks, b…

    Yeah I saw Vaishali & Javier's presentation [1] at LPC last year! Great stuff, & certainly available to use now rather than when SFrame becomes available and supported. In the same…

    This is a good idea for the short-term. As of now, frame pointers are the most reliable way to ensure that software can be profiled by tools like perf*. The core issue is that the …

    I think the very defense you're using is the problem though. It's fine if nobody uses the competing browser for work at Google. It is, however, pretty standard to have automatic te…

    Yeah. The money is there to ensure that there's an independent browser option to point at, if there's ever any question about lack of competition. But the products are all designed…
