Anyone doing accounts and data entry wants a numpad. My dad recently damaged his laptop keyboard. I gave him a spare usb keyboard, and he still went out and bought a new keyboard just for the numpad. There's a reason pc makers keep stuffing those lopsided monstrosities in there

*Gb not Mb

Am I alone in thinking atrophy might not happen? I use a keyboard all day but it doesn't mean I can't write by hand anymore. Predictive text didn't make me forget how to spell. If i buy coffee it doesn't mean I forget how to make it

Small point, if you're traveling from republic of Ireland you don't practically need a passport or an ETA, you can just drive over the invisible border

Of course there are people out there watching 32k movies.

Was 4k not enough?

Am I the only one who's still content with 720p?

These AI companies are all in the same boat. At current operating costs and profit margins they can't hope to pay back the investment, so they have to pull tricks like rebranding models and downgrading offerings silently. There's no oversight of this industry. The consumer protection dept in the US was literally shut down by the administration, and even if they had not been, this technology is too opaque for anyone to really be able to tell if today they're giving you a lower model than what you paid for yesterday.

I'm convinced they're all doing everything they can in the background to cut costs and increase profits.

I can't prove that Gemini 3 is dumber than when it came out because of the non deterministic nature of this technology, but it sure feels like it.

Maybe I missed something in the article but why Singapore and not a country closer in culture to the US? Like why not compare to Canada or the UK, or anywhere in Europe?

Did the study have to go as far as Singapore to find somewhere where the situation was reversed or was there another factor?

I don't know which Reddit thread you're reading (there are many I'm sure) but the one in r/Aviation seems to have a favourite theory that there was a credible threat of someone with MANPADS, which are shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles and not some sort of sanitary product.

Apparently they have a ceiling of 18,000ft which is exactly the limit of the restriction in El Paso. Aircraft are allowed fly over if they go above that

To me the trapezoid suggests something traveling south fell in the area. Narrow at the top, wide at the bottom.

Maybe they dropped a nuke by accident (again)

> EU citizens have elected ineffective leaders for decades -- leaders that ignored the potential to set up homegrown cloud providers, software suites or tech companies.

It's not like there are people out there on the campaign trail every election saying "if I'm elected, I'll ensure we build homegrown cloud alternatives". Nobody campaigns on issues like that. The reality is you have to choose between people who want to kick the immigrants out and people who don't, people who want to enact green policies and people who don't. People who want a European army and people who don't. These big issues are what people vote on, even if we care that there should be a homegrown cloud industry. I really do care, but it's not something I can do anything about at the ballot box

Oh nice!

AGS is cool but I wish they'd make a version for macos. You need to use wine to run it

1. Could also be called Miller silliness

It's very impressive tech but subject to the same limitations as other generative AI: Inconsistency, inaccurate physics, limited time, lag, massively expensive computation.

You COULD create a sailing sim but after ten minutes you might be walking on water, or in the bath, and it would use more power than a small ferry.

There's no way this tech can run on a PS5 or anything close to it.

I've never heard of CachyOS. I'm amazed at how many Linux versions there are and how good they seem and it makes me wish I could try them all.

Huh, I had no idea sgi was not pc hardware. I just assumed they made PCs with their own OS

I'm with proton on this tbh. It's not a lumo update, it's an attempt to tell people who don't use lumo about it's existence. Maybe it's not something you want to read but an email saying "hey, have you heard of this thing called lumo" is not something you'd send out to existing lumo users

> You clearly underestimate the quality of people I have seen and worked with

"Humans aren't perfect"

This argument always comes up. The existence of stupid / careless / illiterate people in the workplace doesn't excuse spending trillions on computer systems which use more energy than entire countries and are yet unreliable

I keep coming back to this. The most recent version of chatgpt I tried was able to tell me how many letter 'r's were in a very long string of characters only by writing and executing a python script to do this. Some people say this is impressive, but any 5 year old could count the letters without knowing any python.

In case anyone is like me and has never heard of Orion, apparently it's a browser

Oh I'm a week late but diesel

Hence the expression "now you're cooking with gas"

That must confuse the hell out of the yanks

Well I can't argue with that.

That's fair. I live in the EU and I love it here, and I'm glad for those protections every day. Except the damn cookie popup.

I don't agree they're malicious compliance though. I think it's just regular compliance.

Yes all hail the EU.

Soon we'll have a popup before every individual show on Netflix asking us if we accept the cookies before we watch, all in the name of consumer protection

The great thing about this gravity storage system is how easy it is to scale. You just need a hill. Sure, it's not going to deliver the power of pumped hydro, but it's easier to build and much safer to operate. And it's certainly a better design than those concrete block tower designs you occasionally see which are just a windy accident waiting to happen

I bought a cheap USB hub so I don't have to reach behind the TV to plug things in

I'm also in Europe, I drive a ford, and the only fuel arrow on my dash actually points to the wrong side for filling

I like that usbc is double sided but I find them prone to pop out a lot easier than standard usb. It's a weird ask but wish they were bigger

I think the poster means that around this time of year these types of articles appear
