That's what happens with scale... The purpose of a car itself didn't change. But the massive inflated demand, as our city planners decided every adult must be put in a rolling meta…

So brainrot? I don't want to belittle anyone's creative pursuits, but really, I struggle to see how "Balenciaga Harry Potter" is any more artistic than "Italian Animals".

Not platforming your slop is the same as killing minorities? Okay... Codeberg is not a state. This is not life and death. If you have any disagreements, feel free to join another c…

We have a non peer reviewed proof in a niche area of mathematics claiming to have been "co-written" by an LLM. What are the comments about? Lamenting or celebrating humanity's inte…

"Why spend $1k on a helicopter ride to Costco when you can bike there?"

A sustainable patronage from the Russian intelligence community? /j

Speak for yourself. Programming was my main hobby and I've diversified into learning aelectronics to have some escape from the blatant current of anti-intellectualism in software. …

The title reads a lot like the lab logs you'd find in a horror game. But for the paper itself, it seems they're using genetic optimization over predefined keywords. Wonder what wou…

> Did they? Look, this was a headline I recalled seeing in the news. I do not live in the US, and honestly I'm kinda tired of hearing as much about your (?) politics. If I hadn't u…

And the US wanted to install a breathalyzer in every car a few years back. How is this supposed to prove anything?

I think the groups pushing for these laws are largely right neoliberals. Historically, while being nominally in competition with both far-right and left, they have found it much ea…

To make the point explicit, Orwell wouldn't find most dystopian the fact your Speakwrite refuses to write anti-state messages, and support the right to subsidized local uncensored …

If the point of those events is to be registered by the game program, you already have all the data you need, otherwise you're building a keylogger. The most the kernel can try to …

But really, if HID becomes suspect too, then why do you even need kernel level anti-cheat, if all you can do is behavioral detection?

Orwell also imagined a future where Speakwrites made everyone unable to write by hand, making their thoughts dull and tanged as a long unprepared monologue tends to be. I don't thi…

I'm currently learning electronics, as well as having just recently sat my Physics/Math finals. I can tell you with 100% certainty you CAN'T learn shit from /just/ video. Actual le…

That a government has a much easier time controlling who's renting a building with the energy consumption of small city than what everyone's coding on their laptop?

RATs do not require a datacenter to develop.

Because there is no more tech industry. Only gambling.

And Qt. They even made QML with literal reactive JavaScript.

There are a few other banks running their own NFC payment systems, like Swedbank in my country.

I recall a year or so ago, there's been a story about someone hacking McDonalds loyalty program, with that app doing something stupid like storing your balance on the client or som…

Play Integrity has several levels. GrapheneOS MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY, which I believe only requires a locked bootloader and no superuser. There's also been some discussion of spoofi…

I kept thinking this was a play on crank as in charlatan and crank as in hand-crank. Generate any flavor of crankery with the turn of a crank. Turns out it wasn't satire...

I do not defend the current state of things where a select few companies get to shamelessly violate the law with the entire legal framework bending around the weight of the money t…
