Don't Look Up

At the very least why not upload the scanned books to the internet archive while already at it? This is highly disturbing news; is this standard practice? What did Google Books do before?

I've been using Macs for decades and never had these issues personally. It seems like some people do literally rest their hands / arms on desk / notebook body while typing. The "sh…

The effects would definitely be felt by everyone if the global population were on its way to be halved. Also knock-on effects like mass emigration putting additional pressure on an already difficult p…

UK official body of actuaries basically says we are on trajectory of "Extreme" rating: > 3°C or more by 2050. Multiple climate tipping points triggered, tipping cascade. > over 4 billi…

Central heating / thinking.

Yes, just a big cool Cerebras wafer for the closet please.

You need to listen / interject and show that you are making an effort, then people usually will meet you there and you can even fall back to English again if you have to but then steer back towar…

I've been there, same as in Quebec for French but I would see it as a learning opportunity to practice. In Austria I've always made an effort to stay inclusively in English in these settings…

I know life as an immigrant, especially while having kids and professional careers can be tough. That said, personally I'm thankful for Quebec having been the forcing function to learn French. Wi…

Maybe a "lousy analogy" but here you go ;) https://youtube.com/shorts/u3SY8nvjhQA Don't give up on core tenets basically; the EU is a (comparatively) great place t…

This is the anti-EU move but they simply don't understand that. Authoritarian centralization efforts need to be fought Huang style - with an European twist - as we might be behind on a lot of axi…

True, this is the new reality though. My main gripe with Strix Halo is memory bandwidth and compute performance. Gaming performance sits squarely in base PS5 territory just as is the case with Steam M…

I had hoped this was about Medusa Halo, but unfortunately, it's about 2025 technology. It's the same as Framework Desktop was at the end of last summer, which would have been a slightly sill…

"RTFM" if available and factual to me is very satisfying. So without much nostalgia / betting on actual hardware the (partially ST community derived) MiSTer project is just great for th…

More people have been flocking to "retro computing" for a while now. My hunch is that it's partially driven by mourning over increasing loss of deterministic "von Neumann computing…

No doubt Anthropic Mythos/Fable are frontier. I also miss having access as it uncovered some "evals repellant" regressions on my personal pet factory. OTOH for most of my day to day wor…

As everyone knows, Kool-Aid is also just mostly water. I work in AI / infrastructure and I have never seen as much interest towards investing into sovereignty by actual deciders. Thankfully, at t…

With those unfortunate specs a used PS5 + Steam Deck OLED is the better deal to me. HDR on that screen is just something to behold and UHD-BD drive is the cherry on top. https://github.com&…

Cities have to truly compete with private rent-seekers for it to work. In Vienna they are still building state of the art for that reason: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/…

void-kampff pattern matching is failing me here

Another instance of pure power games if you track the political "reasonings" and technological "solutions". It's the same fight with yet another face; we must keep pushing bac…

Good point. Fortunately, where I live, subscription fees are typically charged before the next billing period begins, so there usually isn't any outstanding balance carried over. Credit-building …

One way I've "reset" my subscriptions is by invalidating the credit card they're on so most of them just stop billing. YMMV it's a bit of a blunt tool and not always foolproof…
