lol not AI but yeah that’s fair. Clickbait was probably too harsh to compare them too.

It’s The Register. I love them but sometimes they go a bit too far with their inflammatory remarks in order to get clicks. In this case it seems like it worked based on the number …

IIRC There was a Jim Keller interview a few years ago where he said basically the same thing (I think it was from right around when he joined Tenstorrent?). The ISA itself doesn't …

Is there even a way to know at this point?

The dev actually went on Twitter[1] to say this currently breaks the extension and they disabled submissions from users with embedded ads enabled [1] https://twitter.com/SponsorBlo…

Probably just an autocorrect slip

Not every time. In my current place the cable is stapled directly to the studs so it would require gutting basically everything to replace all of it. Luckily most of the runs go to…

Oh I didn’t realize. Internally we use `hg` commands for everything so I guess it’s just the internal version that supports mercurial

Yup! In fact Meta’s implementation is open sourced as Sapling SCM and includes both Mercurial and Git support[1]. Internally the main repository use Mercurial although I believe a …

If you watch the video linked in the article he even beeps like BD-1! I love it!

Literally not how things work. The last time states tried to secede a little thing called the Civil War happened and we determined that no, actually you can’t just leave the US whe…

Are we looking at the same data? Cuz I see the temperature going up around 5ish degrees since the 60s and almost no rainfall the last few years according to your link. I’m on mobil…

IIRC someone at Intel once said that Dell is the “best friend money can buy” in an internal email that came out when Intel was being investigated for anti-competitive practices.

For people who don't like the new look, you can go to preferences->Appearance and select 'Vector (Legacy)'. It does require you to login first which is annoying but at least you ca…

I hope that this will be used in the future as an example of why MBAs don't always make good CEOs. You may be the best person in the world when it comes to managing a company, but …

Oh Meta 100% has some sort of non-compete in writing, especially after his lawsuit with Bethesda when he left Id to work at Oculus[1]. [1] https://www.pcgamer.com/zenimax-accuses-j…

Now that Matter and Thread are finally starting to roll out, is there really any good reason for new products to still use Z-Wave? Or am I just crazy to see this as Z-Wave trying t…

Wow that almost plays out like a parody of itself. I was half expecting it to be revealed as one of those fake Saturday Night Live ads.

Hinge is owned by Match Group. Along with also owning Match.com they also own Tinder, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish, Black People Meet, Our Time, and about 20 more services. AFAIK the only…

tbf, a lot of things still haven't been optimized for when AMD introduced >4 cores with first gen Ryzen. I'm running a 5950x and unless I'm doing something like 3D rendering I rare…

Looks to be a Firefox thing. I just tested in both Chrome and Safari and the download link was there. Not in Firefox tho

Honestly, I'm in the same boat as you, until I realized I don't know anything he's done before he became head of Radeon Group. According to his Wikipedia entry: > He became the dir…

Just looked it up and the first machines that shipped with M1 were released on November 10th so you might be right considering they never said 2 years from WWDC 2020 specifically.

Thank you! I try my hardest not to use Google for anything besides Gmail and YouTube and that popup always infuriated me. Had no idea you could turn it off.
