I generally agree, but I'm saying that it still had some early adopter issues.

btw, I had an iPhone 4 and used it for a long time.

iPhone 4, the one famous for “you’re holding it wrong”?

Probably just a matter of writing the right firmware and building the right hardware. I don’t think anything is stopping you from doing that.

The problem with microcontrollers is that code isn’t easily portable, so this device is stuck with its hardware.

Dying while in office would be the best case for him, since he'd have immunity while in office. Otherwise he'll die in prison.

How would you define "accessible"? The web app I'm working on works in Firefox, but a few text labels are misaligned with their input controls due to slight CSS deviation from Chromium. It's those things that are most of the problems for supporting both browsers, functionality-wise they're very close (except newer features that Firefox hasn't implemented yet or Google-specific features like WebUSB).

It changed when the Libertarians took over.

Every time such a thing is attempted, the government officials are bribed by Microsoft to stop the project.

Happened in Munich for example.

Daisy chaining extension chords is dangerous because there is a current limit on them and no fuse. Also, the voltage drops the longer the cable is and thus there might not be enough left at the end to power whatever you’re trying to connect.

All of this doesn’t apply to electronically controlled and fused power supplies.

The creativity argument I don't get at all. Being creative these days means taking a bunch of known ideas and mashing them up, and that's exactly what an LLM does. Very few people can really think outside the box.

I've had a few things where it was actually the other way around. I'm running a lot of TTRPGs, and my storylines are always pretty bland because I'm not that creative. I've started to use ChatGPT4 to give me a few ideas for stories, and it helps me break out of that box by suggesting completely different things than what I'd have thought of.

My personal guess is that Zaluzhnyi has some something bad (like corruption) that is about to become public, and Zelenskiy wants to be ahead of the curve in order to minimize the impact on the country's defense. This is the only situation where this move would make sense to me, at least.

As someone who has built solar battery packs, that’s not how batteries work. They have a single connection (positive and negative), not a charge and separate discharge port. If the charge voltage is the same as the battery voltage, it goes directly to the device.

The only problem is that you can’t keep the battery at 80% charged in this mode, which would be better for battery life while it’s not used.

A third party adaptation of Chromium could add support for other formats, the ones we know about right now just don’t bother.

Servers often come without GPU, and they’re usually the ones encoding image formats.

That’s what I’ve been arguing with a fellow programmer recently. Right now you have to tell these programmer LLMs what to do on a function-by-function basis, because it doesn’t have enough capacity to think on a project level. However, that’s exactly what can be improved by scaling the neural network up. Right now the LLMs are limited by hardware, but they’re still using off-the-shelf GPUs that were designed for a completely different use case. The accelerators designed for AI are currently in the preproduction phase, very close to getting used in the AI data centers.

As with any vaccine, it only lowers the risk of catching it, it doesn’t eliminate it.

I’ve had a doctor at a COVID vaccination station trying to talk me out of it. He said that with my age and three prior vaccinations there’s absolutely no benefit. After a few statements like that he admitted that he was required to allow anyone who really insists to get it, though. So that’s what I did.

I suspect that Zelinskiy knows something the analyst don’t.

Switching platform isn’t great when you lose access to all of the apps that were bought for the previous one. There’s a big incentive to not switch.

Or the trains in Poland that throw up phantom fault when started within certain geofences that happen to be located on the competition’s repair centers.

Holy shit there are some bootlickers in the comments on that article.
