Reminds me of the universal paperclip thing. AI harvesting matter for more hamsters.

It's crazy. Are they doing any precomputing as you type, I wonder if you paste a block of text is it the same speed.

I've seen similar on some android apps I think, where it will ask you if you consent to sharing data with partners or something similar. When you say no there's a huge list of part…

Does this double dose completely prevent infection?

I recently read "Everything is Tuberculosis". It describes a similar issue with the rich / poor country divide. It's quite sad and difficult to read at times.

I'm not sure it would have been that easy for them to back it up. Depending on his settings. You can disable the usb port entirely if you like, so that it is only possible to charg…

During my wife's second pregnancy, we got a lot more information and did more preparation than for the first. Someone shared the BRAIN acronym for making decisions. Can't remember …

I tried opencode and pi recently. Having come from Claude code, I was a bit shocked that both seem to allow edits by default with no confirmation dialog. One IIRC allows you to ena…

Ah you're right, I misread it.

I'm in Europe, but I had accepted that I had to do without. I hadn't heard of curve, going to check that out.

I've seen a lot of code that just assumes fread / fwrite succeeded without bothering to check the return value... But in this case if the code was calling fread 65536 times in a lo…

Yeah it's quite strange. I was tapping trying to expand it. Tried landscape but it truncates at the same point (Firefox android).

First version has a side effect of writing to small_numbers[0] always. The compiler probability can't optimize that in the second version. If it wrote unconditionally and increment…

Magnesium has a crazy effect on my sleep, very very noticeably deeper. Not necessarily more restful, but deep and I don't remember anything. With B6 it's deep but more interspersed…

It made me laugh to think of C implementers being adversarial! It can feel that way. I haven't really used modern C, not sure if it's evolved as much as modern C++, which I feel is…

Reminds me of that guy who started drinking water upside down to train his swallow muscles and cure his chronic heartburn.

If you've ever done the wim hof breathing method, it is a very intense experience. Basically hyperventilation + long breath holds. Probably similar to what free divers do without t…

Or like me you disabled the usb port entirely before first unlock on grapheneos, and then break your screen :(

I think Chernobyl was a big factor in European sentiment towards nuclear power too, in the 80s / 90s. I grew up in the 90s and didn't even fully understand what it was, but I remem…

It's a very good book, I haven't read it since I was a kid. The title is unfortunate, and doesn't really reflect the book IMO. It sounds like a seedy way to manipulate people and g…

"pink" h? There's a way to enable colours?

There was some discussion on the GitHub issues about workarounds to disable it, even though it is baked in. https://github.com/theori-io/copy-fail-CVE-2026-31431/issues... https://…

Yes, strongly agree. This is HUGE news, I would have skimmed over "Copy Fail". The blog post might be a better place to link to also, it has more details on the exploit. https://xi…

Reminds me of the Beatles lyric: > I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in > And stops my mind from wandering > Where it will go

I would say 16 tablets would be closer to 6, or even 8 euro here.
