64718283661··on Wayland Nvidia
I noticed this myself, both gnome and kde. It turned out to be that leaving Firefox open for long periods of time caused this.
64718283661··on AdBlock and Signal are for terrorists, according to French govt (2023) [video]
When blocking scripts. I get this issue when signed in, but a refresh fixes it. If I allow google.com, then it doesn't happen at all. When not signed in, I do often get issues or a captcha (that sometimes doesn't work), then I just switch to invidious usually.

Refresh the page a couple times to fix
64718283661··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
The answer is I will kill myself when I become replaced by LLMs entirely.
64718283661··on In leaked recording, Nvidia CEO says its insane managers aren't using AI enough
I would never install these ai tools on my computer. It's going to immediately scan and upload my source code. Why would I want them to steal my code? Nothing good can come from that.
64718283661··on EU set to adopt ChatControl negotiating mandate tomorrow without discussion
It feels like yesterday that it was turned down again. Clearly this is going to pass soon, unfortunately. Idiotic.
64718283661··on Human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world
To make sure and confirm, not guess and assume
64718283661··on 'Stone-cold killers': New Zealand to eradicate feral cats by 2050
Seems inhumane to lock up animals inside a prison when they are made to interact with nature.
64718283661··on An Interview with Unity CEO Matthew Bromberg About Turnarounds
Maybe a bit of an exaggeration. But I think at least 30%. Unreal is popular too. Unity seems to be more popular for indie/coop/single player/certain art styles. There seems to be many more unity games overall, but a lot of them are very small.
64718283661··on An Interview with Unity CEO Matthew Bromberg About Turnarounds
Can you list even a single widely popular Godot game? Meanwhile, like half of the steam top 50, 100, 200, etc is unity.
64718283661··on Childhood Friends, Not Moms, Shape Attachment Styles Most
Same, so what should one do if AI ruins it? It hasn't yet. It's not good enough, but with the amount of money pouring in I think it could be cracked within 5 years. I hope not.. Coding with AI ruins the enjoyment. And willfully falling behind others using tools to be better than anyone without it isn't good either. I enjoy computers because my skill level is high enough that I can make money on my own and do what I want by using my skills to beat competitors. My research and experiments are meaningful because it is not all so trivial and instantly replicable yet.
64718283661··on FAWK: LLMs can write a language interpreter
What's the point of making something like this if you don't get to deeply understand what your doing?
64718283661··on Cognitive and mental health correlates of short-form video use
Can you please elaborate on each I am very interested to know.
64718283661··on Ned: ImGui Text Editor with GL Shaders
It should be running at 0 fps, then when there is movement it should run at refresh rate.
64718283661··on AMD continues to chip away at Intel's x86 market share
Intel has better and more developed virtualization, security features, and other hardware features. AMD seems to make what feels like an MVP that can do the core functionality, but lacks the extra 20% that makes the better product.
64718283661··on The Manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra
A zeroeth century sounds reasonable to me.
64718283661··on GPS 'kill' switch allows state police cruisers to go dark and disable tracking
But if a single one of them don't like that you tried they can ruin your life much worse than a traffic ticket.
64718283661··on Ticker: Don't die of heart disease
I've actually considered taking nicotine for these reasons. But I don't because it appears you build tolerance very quickly.
64718283661··on Is Software the UFOlogy of Engineering Disciplines?
Many engineered physical devices can't cause harm to their end users the same way you say software cannot. And many software applications can cause harm to people both directly and indirectly. See social media, or hacks and data leaks which can destroy the lives of individuals or countries.
64718283661··on First recording of a dying human brain shows waves similar to memory flashbacks (2022)
If your perception of time is distorted in those last moments, perhaps you live another thousand or million years in what was your life in what was only a few seconds for the people watching you die. After this thousand or however many years you experienced, you are ready for the experience to be over.

Now what happens to people who are shot directly in the head with a gun? Or have their brain otherwise abruptly massively damaged.

64718283661··on Minecraft removing obfuscation in Java Edition
The community obfuscation mappings unrestrictively licensed. The Microsoft ones are not. It's a trap.
64718283661··on AMD and Sony's PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline
And what do you think to invest in for such times?
64718283661··on Jeff Bezos says AI is in a bubble but society will get 'gigantic' benefits
If they killed the poor, then how can they enjoy their power over people?
64718283661··on Why friction is necessary for growth
Entertainment is only a waste of time if you do it alone
64718283661··on Claude Sonnet 4.5
I used to think so. But now I think it's not very useful with what I've seen from others. Maybe if you do frontend.. The people who I see vibe coding with no experience actually programming... It is completely useless. It can only do the most simple tasks, anything beyond it will constantly make critical errors and random mistakes. That is using what was the latest Claude version before this. I've also not really used AI coding stuff myself at all do take that as you will.

Even for frontend tasks it makes mistakes when you ask too much of it...

What will it create for me? A basic react/nextjs frontend and a <popular website> clone? Anything that requires more careful planning and esoteric functionality it can't do.

Oh yes, and the code I've seen it write... It can take what should be 20 lines of code and turn it into 600!

64718283661··on Priced out of traditional housing, more Americans are living in RVs
How about truck+trailer combo. The vehicle can be used without taking your house everywhere. And the reliability of each of these things alone is higher than an RV
64718283661··on Google's Gemini tops Apple's App Store, snagging lead spot from ChatGPT
I can only imagine it's worse. Exact precision is not as important and tiny mistakes are much more acceptable in most images. And then modifying the image afterward to fix mistakes is simpler than fixing code.
64718283661··on Cannabis use associated with quadrupled risk of developing type 2 diabetes
In my experience regular cannabis use drastically reduces appetite and weight to the point it's like a weight loss drug. I've met others who have the same experience.
64718283661··on Show HN: Small Transfers – charge from 0.000001 USD per request for your SaaS
The fake ones can be filtered out easily because the interaction and behavior is different
64718283661··on Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as a protective factor of myopia
Eat sardines. Good protein, high omega 3, high in other vitamins too.
