"If the online check fails and you’re otherwise online, it gets revoked" That's not being offline ;)

> If you are online, and the rights service is failing, it will revoke your key. Do you have evidence of this? I've played Xbox for 25 years and never seen this.

This is false. You don't need an internet connection to play from disc: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/connect... You can play digital titles, too, as long as…

One would hope that you change minds and differentiate yourself through the strength of your argument, rather than the anfractuosity of your prose or a propensity for sesquipedalia…

This pertinent paper appeared more than a decade ago about the flaws in the amyloid plaque hypothesis: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4207354/ Many people without dementi…

They aren't equal, as the faster version does an unconditional memory write instead of only writing to the array if the condition is satisfied. The compiler is strictly forbidden f…

Large organisations have advocacy, support and friendship groups for many underrepresented or protected groups, such as those for religions, mental health issues, physical disabili…

Just fucking use the language appropriate to the task you're trying to accomplish. Just fucking use the language your colleagues can understand and support for the next few years. …

"Skirmish" or "Conflict" or "Action". It's less illegal if you don't call it a war.

It says "approx. 5 hours" in the "Power & Batteries" section.

I said in my comment that it was GPU bound. Task Manager was reporting 100% GPU usage from the browser, which went down to 0% after closing the tab. It looks to be that the demo ha…

The demo runs at 5 FPS on my laptop (11th gen Core i5 and Iris Xe graphics, Chrome Latest as the browser, with the GPU being the bottleneck). I was hoping for something rather more…

This is quite insensitive and a poor analogy. Telling someone who's struggling to "Get your head in the game" is unhelpful in the extreme. It's like telling someone who's drowning …

I think the key here is the ability to focus on the privacy-first nature of local LLMs. A cloud-based service will always be more powerful (and markedly so), but Apple is very caut…

The reality is more akin to me agreeing to have my car covered in your bumper stickers (and anyone else's, as long as they abide by my particular set of bumper sticker rules), and …

What you gain in performance, you somewhat sacrifice in flexibility, at least in comparison with OpenEXR. OpenEXR was designed for modularity, allowing efficient access to individu…

There seems to be a mistaken thought that having an AI (or indeed someone else) help you achieve a task means you aren't learning anything. This is reductionist. I suggest instead …

I think your project is at far too early a state to share. You are currently literally using 'fs::recursive_directory_iterator()' to search one file at a time on the selected drive…

These start from 450 euros.

To be clear, I meant the specific issues the OP was talking about in the article, not the overall inefficiencies. I was speaking to the fact that the author had not seemed to have …

The problem is that this is the first time any of us are hearing of these inefficiencies. Were these concerns raised with the author's state representative? The oversight committee…

The OP misunderstands (perhaps deliberately or for humorous effect) what a co-pilot is. This is telling: "I learned that I need to stay firmly in the driver’s seat when tackling ne…

I rather think using AI to generate scripts for other DBs is a disadvantage. Scripting is a deterministic process, surely? Can you create a common internal representation and write…

A lot of conspiracy talk here, backed up with nothing other than a note that the AI chat API isn't public yet. I'd argue that MS has been on a very different trajectory since the "…
