Chromium being open source is not a mistake. Letting google be the sole driver and not forking it has been. People who want control over their browsers have options. It's a fight b…

They have control over what they distribute. Chromium and Firefox are both open source and people can (and should) use derivatives they find acceptable.

> Yeah but more deeply time is a property of the universe that the clock including atomic clocks are tracking. I'll quote Einstein who said "time is what the clock says".

First, that claim is patently false. Two objects with size accelerating directly towards each other (i.e. zero orbital angular momentum hence zero "orbit") will produce waves. A mo…

Why does it seem like this to you when there's nothing been produced of note?

porkbun is really good

This is my experience and it really sucks that Jetbrains has devolved into such a poorly run company. It's clear a lot of their real talent who cared about the programming side and…

I discovered the hard way that IMDB is now automatically creating accounts for you if you are signed in with amazon and it appears details such as my name and email are being share…

Yes, this is what I'm complaining about. > coopt: to appropriate as one's own; preempt. The term existed for some time before programming if that's your source of confusion. Now it…

> A tensor is nothing but a flat array of numbers I'm so very, very tired of tech coopting rigorous mathematical terms.

To simulate a proton you need to solve a strongly coupled highly relativistic SU(3) gauge theory (naturally non-abelian i.e. the force carrier field itself carries charge and is se…

Not in the sense that the electrons would be orbiting "outside" the star. Neutron stars are already a conglomeration of particles, including a sizeable fraction electrons that are …

That's a fundamentally different problem and a terribly unfair comparison.

Can we stop the "drop how at the start of a title" auto editing? I suspect this was to fix some flood of problems long ago, but every time I encounter it it modifies the title away…

I appreciate the commentary, but there's some irony of this being hosted on a github.io space.

> The engineer knows the tech but doesn’t really understand what it takes to keep the business afloat. This is assuming there IS a way to keep the business afloat. It's this framin…

Is that not already the case today? Everything on the play store is verified. Anything outside of that is not by google and you are shown something. The whole point out of this out…

Because as designed they have to live under whatever google puts into Android because they have inordinate control over the whole ecosystem? I'm not sure why or how you would possi…

Banking has slowly been transitioning in this direction as they close brick and mortar places. I'd have to drive 20 minutes to cash a check (which is still sadly common in the US i…

Your argument might carry some weight if you added any kind of argument past "lots of new productive output" and then silence.

Weird that AI is supposed to be able to enable all this and yet all we get is news about how it's really just burning out projects that have limited resources making them more expe…

If changing definitions and adding dimensions are fair game, try it for a damped oscillator and tell me where whatever dimension sphere is in there. If you understood what you were…

It's also telling with all the comments of "just wait a few months the models are getting so much better" which has been said for years and will continue to be said for years. It's…
