There's a subtle modulation that happens on all of the samples. It sounds almost like some kind of harmonic or phase shift? This is something I notice with every AI generated speec…

KDE has far too much surface area to test and support (as in end user support) effectively. Gnome may not be as flexible but it makes for a much smaller target to be able to reprod…

Tax the hell out of them to pay for upgrading. There's zero reason why a 2500lbs vehicle should pay the same tax as a 7000+lbs one. Giant SUVs and Trucks for non commercial use sho…

I agree with you here. For boilerplate stuff I can never remember it's fine. With more advanced use cases I find the LLMs better at exploring a problem space and possible solutions…

Add onto that the fact the 8th and 10th gen Intel low power mobile parts are, well, kinda garbage (low perf/watt, very little boost time, low core count) and were quickly obsoleted…

It's been a nightmare for my org. We have several people with T-Mobile and Verizon home internet and it's always a game of "What shenanigans will I have to use this week to get VPN…

The 5400s and 5410s had tons of issues with power, heat, and general acpi funkiness but the 5420s and 5430s have been rock solid for my org. I really want an AMD 14" Latitude but I…

Your best option is to dump the displaylink dock and go to a dp alt mode dock or tb3/usb4 dock if your device has a compatible port. Dell WD19S or Cable Matters USB C docks (201055…

Wow this looks amazing. I am eagerly awaiting a Linux version. We have ~150 Linux desktops and training or collaborating via one sided google meets can be limiting.

> Everytime I see anything related to the open source world bubble up into the public I am only reminded of high school and college level social drama. This is engineering/technica…

It's open source! Don't like it fork it! Simple as that. You're not forced to work with anyone you don't want to for any reason. This always feels like a self tell for people with …

Part of what bothers me with the current webdev approach is irreducible complexity. How many layers of 'magic' to facilitate devs deploying do we really need and is it wise to depe…

That sounds like an awful idea to be honest. Good way to damage your kidneys or flare up an diagnosed previously mild condition like hypotension. Even so if your electrolytes becom…

Dead in the water without EUV just like OG Intel 10nm. The number of masks required to etch these chips without EUV makes it a non-starter for anything with a larger area than the …

You can find clearance name brand things there for 50-75% off of MSRP in the returns section. A BBBY is right next to a Target I frequent so I look every couple weeks. I got a 12" …

Yet on the official Discord just as of a few days ago he was begging for sales and pitching for people start reselling the devices. George is bright but not a stable leader. Every …

> My friend and I in college were trying to do our own Roguelike, and went through two platforms, and four languages, rewriting and standing on the shoulders of, well, not giants, …

NaughtyDog was able to do amazing things with their in house lisp GOAL[1]. I expect SPJ's work to be in a similar vein. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Oriented_Assembly_Li…

Really suggest not doing this with -6 sph or stronger. The higher your prescription the greater the risk of halos and starbursts. I was at -9 and -8.25 (OS OD) with slight astigmat…

Juuls use a silica wick which, while possible to absorb something as thick as Vit A the vaporization process would happen too quickly for the pod to perform properly. You'd have to…

I think we're going to see this view change quite a bit with legalization. Consuming large amounts of THC (regardless of delta 8 or 9) on a daily basis is not well understood. If y…

Those were cannabis cartridges. This is the exact misinformation that gets vapes banned unfortunately. Vitamin A is far too thick to vape in a Juul type pod system. The only use it…

That just sounds like public transport with more steps.

The Aptera is trying to be something like this.

Aphantasia[1] My partner has it to the point where her dreams aren't even visual. I am on the other end of the spectrum. It's hard to describe but concepts are 'seen' and then mono…
