1/3, but under unreasonable time pressure, and with no prior vetting. For example, I played a few times, and I'm not a JS developer. I had to just suss out if npm whatever is dange…

The last time any company was interested to build a nuclear reactor in Germany was in the 1970s. About thirty years before the eventual (first) ban. We can rant all day about how s…

I don't really get this. It's not like what the author has to say is contingent on displaying it as a failure of Age of Empires. And it really is just over-interpreting the game. N…

I don't know who "we" is, but assassinating or kidnapping foreigners is illegal. Also, it didn't work. Not in Iran and not even in Venezuela.

98% isn't much, but it's also not little. It's just a number, and numbers don't have a meaning without an interpretation. That's a fundamental logical feature, but hardly a special…

Discussion quality is, in my experience, mostly a function of group size. Online discussions scale better than in person, but there's a limit.

How do these e-tickets work?

What's the philosophy?

denic is the single source of truth for zones under .de. The only problem with DNSSEC here is that it's complex.

But it really isn't a head scratcher, and it's not a wild guess, and also, dark matter is not the same as dark energy. Think about some random person born in the 1950s. It will be …

The idea of talking to a machine that has all of humanities knowledge and gives answers is older than electronic computing. It certainly wasn't a novel idea when Jobs gave that spe…

I don't know if you wanted to imply that, but just to make sure no one misunderstands: GitHub didn't invent git. I don't know if they were the first git forge, but they were certai…

That may be how JavaScript started, but unless your claim is that JavaScript hasn't changed at all in the thirty years or so since then, your argument is a complete non-sequitur.

I don't know why it would matter, but Einstein didn't hate quantum mechanics. He literally got his Nobel prize for his role in discovering quantum mechanics. He is one of the earli…

Allowed to do? Not prevented from by technical measures, but certainly not allowed to do. Considering the goal is to identify people, this is undeniably PII. As the article demonst…

If other people collect data like that it's probably also illegal.

Voyager 1 and 2 are 25 and 21 billion kilometres away, respectively. Even if we built a rocket just designed to get stuff as far away as quickly away as possible, it would take dec…

Strange. If you compress complex topics into one four-word sentence, they are not as coherent any more.

Microsoft never called their productivity suite "simply" office, nor have they registered a product under that name.

Microsoft does not have a trademark for "Office", which is clearly a type of product and can't be used as a program name (just like you can't name your oatmeal "Oatmeal" and expect…

Brains are not doing linear algebra, and they don't follow a concise algorithm. What LLM do is even farther away from what neural nets do, and even there - artificial neurons are i…

Fair use is much more narrow than most people think, it's just that most rights-holders are not very belligerent. For example, streaming video games does not fall under fair right,…

I know for sure that each and every AI I use wants to write whole novellas in response to every prompt unless I carefully remind it to keep responses short over and over and over a…
