Some people are just dick. There might be a bigger crossover between programmers and socially inadequate people, but thankfully it’s not a complete overlap (I hope).
Hopefully you’ll find saner people somewhere else. It’s fine being snarky with people you know and know can handle it, but doing so with stranger online really looks bad moist of the time.
Because batteries are a point of tension in the adoption of some electricity-centric techs. Electricity production can be done in many different ways already (unless you suddenly decide to 100x the demand for shit and giggles), but a lot of applications requires batteries, which makes them some sort of choke point for adoption. Making them better, more accessible, cheaper, more friendly on the environment ease that.
The comparison is also on one end of the world focusing on the dying down side of things, while the other end is (allegedly) looking forward.
That’s why they’re compared.
Is it a “you’re holding it wrong” moment? Or a “no, it’s the consumers who are wrong” moment?
I’m pretty sure most countries have an idea of peace that does not openly include “start frivolous wars”. We’ll be ok without that.
If you can’t get it to work with just the provided installer, you can look into this : https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox
It works perfectly fine. The “missing codec” issues usually boils down to some commonly used codecs not being supported in the free version.
I’m sure all the two people that were using it are devastated.
We’re close to the Microsoft ecosystem here; newer version being better is not a given.
DaVinci works perfectly fine with the native version.
Affinity works fine with wine as long as you can follow basic instruction, or can use the one-click launcher people made and maintain. (and I do mean one click, it’s an AppImage, download and run it).
Whack people in the face with big wads of cash for long enough, and they numb out.
…and I’m generously assuming nothing more sinister was in play.
One way or another, major company-backed OSes are moving towards that. Checking all your pictures, messages, videos, audio, for your own good. For now it’s creeping on mobile, but don’t worry, it’ll come to a windows near you soon enough.
Easy. Remember a few years ago when google advertised that they’d have negative latency allowing you to play your games everywhere, on every device, in better conditions than on your own device? Just like that. You just have to hire enough salespeople to convince reality to bend backward.
CPU cooler, as in, cheap-ass fans and a slab of metal with fins? Is that hard to come by too? Or is it professional grifters at work…
This is why we can’t have nice things.
(I know radiators are more than metal slabs, fans can be quite elaborate, and there can be liquid in the mix, but seriously)
On one hand, the technology exists, sure.
On the other hand, arguing that everyone should have easy, free access to child porn is not the “good look” he think it is. I wonder why people regularly shit on him.
Ah, that would explain why they started to allow uninstalling the separate app.
When it gets to the point where it does work to produce usable documentation, without extraneous content, with no mistakes, can be checked quickly, and it is faster to generate + check than to write it, maybe. Assuming a stellar history of being correct from the tool.
As it is right now, once you reach the point where you actually need proper documentation to be written to keep things maintainable, these tools have low accuracy, lots of issues, and using them takes longer than it takes a competent person to just write/update whatever needs to be.
musk asked people to be nice. That should cover the service, legally speaking, no?
It’s not like he could pull the plug, or alter the behavior of the bot, that’s impossible (as long as you ignore the many time he did).
People posting photos online of their kid in the bath, at the beach, etc. with reckless abandon maybe.
For as far as I remember (and that’s quite far these days), we’ve kept telling people to not post pictures of their kids online as much as possible. Way before the facebooks and way before the LLM craze, so people can’t mess with them. Guess 20 years of heads up wasn’t enough.
I haven’t seen these pictures, so I can’t say how good/bad it works, but if that was only that, the results would be more or less wrong. Kids are quite different from adults.
On the other hand, plenty of pictures of naked/semi naked kids in a non sexual context can probably be found online already, so it’s not inconceivable that their model had plenty of references to use anyway.
“suspension pledge” as in, their papier-maché leader asked people to “be nice, or face the consequence” on the service that don’t give a shit about consequences? I’m sure they were very scared for a second.
Yeah? That’s kinda the plan? Do you see a particular problem with a mostly renewable (to the scale of our species’ lifetime) source of energy, that can be implemented in various way to accommodate different situations, locations, and use, while trying to make things more efficient?
Because I don’t.
