The "right to copy" is a made up concept. Just sayin'...

we would be elephants or whales? (sorry couldn't resist)

Loyalty is one of the strongest qualities of Spaniards. Or curses. Depends on the occasion I guess. But the saying "ser más papista que el papa" (to be more pro-pope than the pope …

In the age of spaghetti-mixed Web Components, remember kids you can still be good with yourselves and properly split your Web Apps into individual CSS, JS, and HTML templates files…

If? never been married, right? PS. You may think of your credit card as your "venom", so you won't get eat alive in a divorce process lol

Hope this law doesn't become into a peasant-trap. But my gut is telling me that... that's exactly what it is. ("This and that is forbidden EXCEPT to us because blah blah blah")

Great example, a two bytes reboot utility. From the times when we could turn off the computer with a push of a button without fearing a global catastrophe...

INT 13h... uff chills

These challenges are funny - they remind me of the old days. Back in the DOS/Windows days, we used to have the .com format, which was perfect for tiny programs. One could even writ…

2023: Our tiny model blah blah blah beats GPT4! 2024: Our tiny model blah blah blah beats Claude! 2025: Our tiny model blah blah blah beats ???

We are not in control either of the nukeclear power which is available for quite a few nations, since a lot of decades now, as well. Soo... c'mon cheer up most probably is some kin…

Disagreed. 1/0 should be infinity, and computers should be able to handle these concepts. Just look into what is 1/0.00000000000[etc]1. And no is not an error, you find out with a …

Yet another chapter of Nintendo's wrath against the people? How long the world is going to be dominated by absurd copy(made up)right laws? PS. Even if that wouldn't be the case her…

How can it be possible that we are in 2024 a no one seems to be proposing the most obvious improvement to the web, which is to create a new standard designed for web applications a…

Pity, it's over. We'll never ever be able to download those ten gigabytes files, at the other side of the fence.

It's kinda funny how nowadays an AI with 8 billion parameters is something "small". Specially when just two years back entire racks were needed to run something giving way worst pe…

I did something similar and to my surprise effectively made the LLM in my tests admit when they don't know something. Not always but worked sometimes. I don't prompt "don't halluci…

I followed a very similar process a couple of years ago (time flies!) and I'm very happy with the results. I'm not even using Arch but Artix Linux but the system runs very smoothly…

If you are trying to convince me that systemd happened out of the creativity of Mr. Poettering and Red Hat just followed him... well I have to say I don't believe that. But anyway,…

Yes, it's massively sponsored as well. So it went heavily imposed almost everywhere even when a quite big chunk of the Linux community deeply disagreed about the imposition.

Last time I checked a GPT is not something simple at all... I'm not the weakest person understanding maths (coded a kinda advanced 3D engine from scratch myself a long time ago) an…

they’re simply statistical systems predicting the likeliest next words in a sentence They are far from "simply", as for that "miracle" to happen (we still don't understand why this…

Well then I guess you won't have a thing for political parties

You guys really need to get over your bellicose POV of the world. Actually, before it destroys you. Really, is not necessary. Most people in the world just want to leave in peace, …
