I’ve been looking for a good solution for doing the exact opposite, being able to connect stuff through USB in my bench, and see them pop up in my office desktop as if they were us…

Germany, France and Spain are some of the biggest offenders here. Some years ago a case became quite famous in Spain. Someone wanted to turn a winery into a eco-tourism boutique ho…

I think these simplifications end up hurting more than helping. 30% tree cover looks very different depending on the trees your municipality chooses. For example, Barcelona covers …

But that isn’t the point at all. For most businesses, you’re not the target audience of your website, your potential customers are.

Don’t know the specifics of the Espressif RISC-V cores, but in general they can’t really compete on those aspects with ARM. ARM is a much more mature platform, and the licensing sc…

Well, that depends on what you count as a backdoor, but Espressif has had some questionable flaws: - Early (ESP8622) MCUs had weak security, implementation flaws, and a host of iss…

> I've been impressed by how this isn't quite true. I’d say it’s true, but the LLMs and humans don’t have the exact same definition of what “obscure” is. Karel is almost a subset o…

Except that strategy gets you killed through a thousand paper cuts. What would have you done when the Bitcoin fork happened 50/50? Would you have gone int ICOs? Which ones? Etc… Th…

This depends very much on your line of work. As a freelancer I do a bit of everything, and I’ve seen places where LLM breezes through and gets me what I want quickly, and times whe…

The way early adopters got rich was by scamming others, so not sure I see your differentiation there

I’d expect this crap from Google, but not Apple. If this doesn’t get fixed, I’m going to have to rethink a lot of my digital life, including my company’s.

Funnily enough, the text is so distinctively Cantrillian that I have no doubts this is 100% an “organic intelligence” product.

> Most of the harsher regulations only come into effect when the company hits a specific size. That’s very market and country specific. Spain makes more than 1k tweaks to it’s food…

That's BS, you can have spies with or without unique IDs, and there's better ways to get votes than creating fake people. Also, a lot of countries do have IDs...

There isn’t a duopoly, it’s just that the two top contenders are way ahead of the rest, so wanting that niche feature requires a big sacrifices. Nowadays it’s not even that hard to…

I’m honestly very tired of this argument, everything about it is bad. Features aren’t rights, if you want a phone that let’s you run whatever you want, buy one or make it yourself.…

> Who is we here? Do you have examples of any countries having successfully done what you are proposing? Does it really matter? There’s always a first country to do anything. It ma…

This has been in Rust since before the 1.0 release. Also, you can’t converge to a diverging number, for Rust to get close to C++’s level of complexity, the C++ WG would have to sto…

Sure it can, but then it’s not published. My only point is that if you get published in a journal, at least two people have seen it.

> that’s some Apple level QA Are you nuts? X-ray inspection is not that rare, there’s even small assembly houses here (Spain) that can do xray automated inspection. This has been s…

Technically speaking, being published means at least the editors have reviewed. The quality of their reviews is another thing entirely.

That’s because we’ve basically reinterpreted what “peer review” is. Peer review used to mean “some peers have reviewed it”, mainly the editors, who pushed for correctness and novel…
