> Also, to be pedantic, you don’t have to have citizenship of a foreign country in order to have a greater allegiance to it. The behavior of the christian conservative cult is a bi…

Increasing total prosperity is the wrong goal if distribution is completely unregulated. Investor and real estate owning classes like the 1% get more, the salaries can trend down b…

Removing jobs that could only be performed by those living near the particular fields with those that can be done anywhere makes jobs for the person willing to take the least satis…

It isn't the PDF you started with once you print it.. A QR code scanner in a camera app, etc, will return text such as a URI.

Thank you Cassandra.. But you could.be right about all of these geopolitics and it still wouldn't change the fact that NVIDIA announced a billion RISCV chips in their GPUs so far o…

Huh? Google gives everyone in the world instructions to make derivatives of AOSP and they could install them[1] on the reference devices which were all nexus/pixel. Google said not…

Nothing I bought in the produce aisle today had instructions for use. Should I leave it to rot? AOSP recipes themselves list reference devices and they could have updated this with…

It takes a lot of work for them to push google apps into its own permissions system etc, but its not like you feel that as a user.. Its similar to what the Linux distributions that…

It's a very interesting solution. I've been thinking more about filling my online time sheet system in advance but I suspect its too impractical to stick to times or keep readjusti…

How do you get all the bloatware off and de-metric your Windows? With Apple it is one criminal instead of an oligarchy of crime.

I don't see what OpenBSD has to do with it. Is this like liking reliability in a car meaning you are a Toyota fan? I've had no trouble with banks, brokers or payment networks on Gr…

They've raised the prices so one is looking at a 1 year old a-series to pay $300. Meanwhile they are even further behind the curve hardware wise. It would be very nice (but a treme…

This is more an opportunity for the EU to suddenly play harder ball than expected.

Their ads are very convincing, I'd pay up to 40¢ a month for Gemini to tell me how to recover with a recipe for tomato sauce I accidentally put sugar in, though only in months wher…

If Croatoan ceremonies didn't involve cremation it could be quite a bit easier.. I don't really see the article's evidence as very compelling. Many things may have been collected f…

A BSer is about pushing for things that don't make sense but sound like they solve more constraints than anything possible to implement could. It is very unlikely they are giving y…

On a code level I'm inclined to agree that it will do better line-by-line. On more abstract things I think it has to have intentional filters to not follow you down a rathole like …

The next billion didn't live in London. (These companies didn't want to butcher their high price per user market for volume and BB was not much of the market a year or two later. F…

The next billion users for each billion after the first were not enterprise workers who wanted to connect to some email server so windows and BlackBerry missed the volume market en…

I don't think video mattered at all to their failure. FirefoxOS was never going to eat Apple's lunch it was going to eat Google's. If thousands of vendors had made something Androi…

I've seen this cycle play out quite a few times long before LLMs. What scares me this time is the wide ranging possible consequences of the automatic assistant in terms of how far …

Earlier everything was based on 'handles' and using them was fine and expected.. As networks adopt everyone and become used for formal things it's gotten more complicated to integr…

I think it is very hard to get unbiased research on procreation related topics because people not only try to justify their own life or (conflicting?) desires for their life but wh…

Maybe you should stop focusing on winning the hours worked competition and focus on finding a new job.

Google thinks it is going to charge a monthly fee for Gemini so they are basically correcting their model to be user paid in the switch from search to LLM. They are also trying to …
