As well as Framework (US). Sure, you need to install Linux yourself but it is a first-class citizen, with official support for Ubuntu and Fedora.

USB condoms are a thing. I should get one in USB-C; mine only do A.

Well, the camera needs to talk to your onsite storage in order to store video. A simple consumer device like a Ring isn’t going to be hardwired; it just uses Wi-Fi (which every household can be assumed to have) to connect to your LAN and talk to the storage device.

The question is why the Wi-Fi could be turned off on the first place. Probably an ISP-managed router; I doubt they’d go and jam the entire spectrum between 2.4 and 7 GHz.

That’s one reason why people should use their own router and/or access point whenever possible.

Looks like Yotsuba with a skull for a head. Perhaps some 4chan thing?

The sign’s legs also don’t make sense.

Now this guy won’t have to fear getting hit by a WWI-era torpedo anymore. Tesla owner 1, Kaiserliche Marine 0!

On this blessed day we are all a girl.

Even if it was, condoms come in sizes.

We’ve been productively using AI for decades now – just not the AI you think of when you hear the term. Fuzzy logic, expert systems, basic automatic translation… Those are all things that were researched as artificial intelligence. We’ve been using neural nets (aka the current hotness) to recognize hand-written zip codes since the 90s.

Of course that’s an expert definition of artificial intelligence. You might expect something different. But saying that AI isn’t AI unless it’s sentient is like saying that space travel doesn’t count if it doesn’t go faster than light. It’d be cool if we had that but the steps we’re actually taking are significant.

Even if the current wave of AI is massively overhyped, as usual.

Presumably, they’re trying to build for Windows and according to llama.cpp’s documentation this might require the MSVC toolchain. Honestly, a lot of applications use the MSVC toolchain so it’s not that special. Besides, CUDA (but not HIP) is available in WSL2 so depending on GPU they could just use that.

Also, apparently they can’t log into GitHub without the Microsoft Authenticator app. Now, I haven’t logged into GitHub in a long time but I do deal with Microsoft’s SSO for my job and a generic TOTP app works just fine there. (And when I checked GitHub’s documentation on the issue it said “download a TOTP app of your choice” so I don’t see how Microsoft’s app is supposed to be required.)

And Paul Fisher really just wanted to make a cool pen that can reliably write upside down. Congress and The Party agreed that the pen was cool and bought a couple hundred each.

Of course you wouldn’t use an existing database engine as the foundation of a new database engine. But you would use an existing database engine as the foundation of an ERP software, which is a vastly different use case even if the software does spend a lot of time dealing with data.

If I want to build an application I don’t want to reimplement everything. That’s what middleware is for. The use case of my application is most likely not to speak a certain protocol; the protocol is just the means to what I actually want to do. There’s no reason for me to roll my own implementation from scratch and keep up with current developments except if I’m unhappy with all current implementations of that protocol.

Of course one can overdo it with middleware (the JS world is rife with this) but implementing a communication protocol is one of the classic cases where it makes sense.

The Onion’s “Sickos” character would feel right at home in this picture.

Yes… ha ha ha… YES!

I’m sorry but that’s Germany’s job already.

I’d argue that accurate color perception isn’t necessary if one makes an assumption about the average age of the riders. Given that bright hair in humans is either blond or whitened by age (excepting albinos, which are rare), all of the riders having bright hair means that they’re either blond or old. Assuming that there are few large groups of senior riders, Legolas could come to his conclusion based on brightness alone.

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about optics to say whether this makes any difference.

Yeah. It’s one thing when people leave some extra money for good service or tell the server to keep the change, all while knowing that none of this is necessary.

It’s another when a 15%+ surcharge is added to the total so that the server can afford to live.

Or, for the Europeans in the audience: https://europass.europa.eu/en/create-europass-cv

Perhaps you can get a different model. It seems that only some models of the 13 are affected for now.

Now the big question is how many patents are relevant and who owns them. And even if it turns out to have cheap licensing, beating HDMI won’t be easy, as DisplayPort demonstrates. Technological superiority doesn’t mean shit if you can’t overcome HDMI’s network effect.

These protests don’t really affect Trump directly but they do signal to the local governments that this is something people feel strongly about – and thus something that might cost them votes if they mishandle it. And that might affect how the EU deals with him.
