I've been using brave search since it became public and it was known they bought tailcat. Have been very happy with the search results, and for people who don't like the simpler programming …

Apple seem to use Quad-channel and more for the M1 Pro and Max in order to get the required memory bandwidth, maybe we can expect to see quad channel memory in more consumer CPUs in the upcoming gener…

I'd be surprised if it was in the next switch. Presumably they'd want to retain backward compatibility with the older switch games on ARM? Unless the games' developers can just hit rec…

IIRC the work to target 20.04 has been going on since 2020, and just now finished. Still an incredible milestone for the team who took over when canonical abandoned the project completely! The UI is a…

Did you DIY that arcade cabinet? If so, know of any good guides / did you use one when building it?

It's going to be exciting to see which GPU manufacturer they went with. Intel salvaging arc? This eGPU that can be slotted in is exactly the thing I'd been hoping they would do if they added…

Do you think there's a happy middle ground to be found then between the extensibility of the expansion cards and internal space for stuff like speakers and battery then. I think I'd be very …

I'd like a govt service where you can verify that you're a real person but not your identity or anything of the sort. Sort of like having the third party registering with the government and …

I wonder if you could use GPT3 to also do the reverse and just get the version of what people really mean, and in the end everyone uses both and it just cancels each other out

So the answer to GP's point "Also, people leave all the time so you have to be ok with an Alice leaving (or die). You cannot depend on people being around for ever to ensure continuity."…
