Viewing profile — diffeomorphism

Buttons etc. have direct binding. So even if your hub goes up in flames those will just keep working. The automated stuff like "starting at sunrise gradually adjust the lights" mig…

People making decisions. Pay me 8x to get 10x, great. Pay me 8x to get 3x, nope.

Being a "failure" means it fails to meet its success criteria. If you claim 10x and deliver 3x, that is a failure. The 3x may still be impressive or a gamechanger or ..., but it st…

Entirely different perspective: If I have to add a separate repo, then this is a red flag. > Any serious project in this space supports as many distros as possible. Wrong way aroun…

The US has it much easier not harder. The average population density is pretty irrelevant here. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_population_map.pn... Lots of high density…

There are different notions of "reproducible". Nix does not automatically make builds reproducible in the way that matters here: https://reproducible.nixos.org It is still good at …

How would "bit-identical" or "free of side effects" make an actual difference in practice? Rollback is already very easy with filesystem snapshots. Configs are already tracked by e…

That reads like blatant nonsense. For a 5 (five) document library you added 3 (three) documents just to override a single response. Nothing at all is hidden and all three documents…

Because AI needs so much more power and in particular RAM.

The apple pricing ladder is all about the confusingly named overlap. The Air with more ram costs just a bit less than the pro non-pro. But then maybe you want the pro pro? Or do yo…

Heavier than competing 14in laptops. Just okay res display. Low refresh rate. No oled or mini led. Basically unrepairable. There are reasons the MacBook pro exists. The air is a ni…

Wrong question. If you sell a 6k€ machine "for AI", then you are judged on your own merits. Replies like "but, but other laptops" are very weak attempts at deflection.

Under local deployment: > Local backend server with full API Local model integration (vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, etc.) Complete isolation from cloud services Zero external dependenci…

Because they are a fire hazard: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62vk0p5dn5o Trash compactors break the batteries in these things. A deposit could help to ensure that the vapes a…

Companies often have flex offices with docking stations. So previously you would have a screen, mouse and keyboard at every desk and people would move a laptop (ignoring its low re…

When do you think the "web 2.0 era" was? Web 2.0 is around 2003 or so and chrome would not even exist for another few years. Giving Firefox/phoenix/Netscape the majority credit for…

Nah, the irony is that you think that this was not done on purpose. E.g. look at the hamburger menu on the top right.

It is called "making fun of" not "irony".

Which is very much on purpose to make fun of exactly that. Try some of the other settings in the top right, e.g. the literal hamburger menu.

For matter over thread you do need a hub and you need more certifications for matter, so for manufacturers it is less open. The standardization is a plus though.

> Because an FFT (short for "Fast Fourier Transform") is nothing more than a curve-fit of sines and cosines to some given data That is not even wrong. A Fourier transform is a basi…

> Inspired by the concept of “a piece of cloth,” This is satire, right?

Unethical behavior does not become good just because it happens to hurt "bad people" (or more accurately, companies bought by bad people).

The robots.txt is pretty explicit that this scraping is "disallowed" https://www.goodreads.com/robots.txt So legalities aside, this seems unethical.

TLDR: regulations The toothpaste maker wants to claim something like "Novamin is useful". In the EU this is treated as for cosmetics, so relatively low bar to clear. In the US this…
