I am so, so tired of Tesla's claims that FSD is "multiple times safer than humans" when the data they base these claims on are basically people using FSD in a totally safe environm…

If you love SimCity 3k/4 music, it is made by Jerry Martin and saxophonist Marc Russo. A few great links for you: http://jerrymartinmusic.com/music_demo.php On this demo page websi…

Monkeypox is not an STD and it is not an airborne disease. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/faq.html

Memories! :-) I was a web developer in the 2000s and I can relate to all of these very accurately… Replace Frontpage 98 by Frontpage 2003 and there you go!

Did they just compare a desktop running native x86 code to results of translated code using Rosetta 2 in MacOS/M1?

Absolutely. I don’t know what this tool is about, but the README statement is wrong; I can’t think of any distribution dumb enough to use performance governor by default. Most Inte…

I am sorry if this is off-topic, but is this board running phpBB2 from 15 years ago? I have used most versions of phpBB until 2015, they all came with so many security holes, I hav…

Opinion: Your Dog Feels as Guilty as She Looks Science does not need opinions. The question is worth asking, but this article does not seem to be backed by any kind of research or …

Thanks for sharing! One quick question: in the methodology section, you mention that the results are from a median value out of repeated runs. While I get that you run JITted code,…

Telling Google is open-source is like telling MacDonald's is healthy because it has a slice of tomato and salad. Android is not entirely open-source. Chrome browser is not entirely…

While I understand your point, I think this guy really needs a chill pill. Give Apple some slack to fix a bug. There was, there is and there will always be bugs in software. Just r…

As usual, the study is, as mentioned in the article, heteronormative, and does not take into account the fact that some people may not feel the need to marry to be in a meaningful …

The scale of the tracking you are mentioning is nothing compared to what ads platforms do nowadays...

It would be interesting to see user studies over which platforms they feel the more trustworthy. Honestly considering the opacity of their privacy rules, it's all about marketing a…

I do not agree. Things are not binary. There are tradeoffs in everything we do. Such tradeoffs do not make his points invalid, they actually emphasize the limits of our control ove…
