  • They say the story isn't true, but the source they cite in the very next sentence says:

    Das Beispiel, das wie ein Hollywood-Szenario daherkommt, hat sich wirklich so zugetragen. Es zeigt, wie vielseitig digitale Angriffe geworden sind.

    (This example, which sounds like a Hollywood plot, really happened. It shows how multidimensional (my mind blanks on a better translation right now) EDIT: diverse cyber attacks have become)

    Edit: I hate microblogging sites. Apparently the thread continues on and the company who made the statement in the cited article has backtracked and admitted that this was a hypothetical. It did not happen.

  • If you are afraid about the capabilities of AI you should use it. Take one week to use chatgpt heavily in your daily tasks. Take one week to use copilot heavily.

    Then you can make an informed judgement instead of being irrationally scared of some vague concept.

  • Converting from jpeg to jxl comes some serious space savings and can be done losslessly.

    The original image formats for the web, jpeg, gif, png, all have major benefits compared to each other. That's why they were successful.

    We change video formats without any major benefits of one over the other. I think it's totally reasonable to do the same with image formats. Especially the data can be losslessly compressed even more.

    I wouldn't call speed a major factor for image processing anyway. It's hugely important for movies, where AVIF is coming from, but much less so when there is no hard 30x2160x3840 pixels/s benchmark you need to reach.

  • the 3D printing craze and how little is left of all the glorious promises.

    Not sure what the promises were that you in particular heard. But 3D printing is a fundamental part of prototyping now. The vast majority of companies designing physical products have 3D printers to try out new ideas.

  • I'm reading some /r/hfy stories. Since I no longer get notifications for reddit pm, I have replaced it with the RSS Feed for "posts by user xxx". RSS also works like a subscription on royal roads, the alternative that a lot of writers switched to.

    Works perfectly well, I'm very happy with it.

  • I can see his reasoning. In fact, I apply the same to cyclist roads here in Germany. My city does not have a (guessing here) 3km long cycle road. We have 5 short ones and cyclists lose their priority whenever a road crosses.

    But even with his argument I don't think he would be allowed to drive on the first section of the bus lane. After all he did not use that part to make a turn, he used that part to continue straight onto the other section of bus lane.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

    Especially the history section will be relevant to you.

    When people complain about feminism they generally complain about forth wave or maybe third wave feminism. When people point out all the good feminism they usually mean first and second wave feminism.

    Edit: chances are you'll have to watch with subtitles (it's in German), but here's a documentary (with commentary, because the documentary fucked up hard in some parts) about feminism: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I-OFCy-NrU4

    And here is an interview with one of the subjects of the documentary who felt wrongly presented (rightfully so): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tvPExRR_GRg

  • Yes, and those messages can be signed to allow receivers to verify they are a credible source of position information.

    Not sure what the above commenter meant with the last sentence though. My understanding is that GPS satellites don't just relay signals, but instead have computers on board to calculate the appropriate signal all the time. So I assume a software update is required.

  • It's a fundamental property of the federated system. The devs need to acknowledge it the same way you need to acknowledge that people can lie. It's a fact, there is no easy way around it and everyone knows it.

  • It depends if underpowered means "too slow" for you, or "slow". I would consider the meaning more similar to "too slow", i.e. I think the reference point matters. Therefore for me the pi is not underpowered, just low powered. [Edit: to keep the discussion on track, I would therefore consider the pi "good enough", which was the original claim in the second level comment]

    Of course in terms of absolute numbers the pi has not a lot of processing power.

  • Nah, just slow.

    But it has a ridiculously big library and is easy to write. A lot of libraries are also written in C, so the slowness drawback doesn't even apply in some cases.
