guerrilla··on Jurassic Park - Tablet device on Nedry's desk? (2012)
Poor SGI. I used to love their website back in the 90s.

It's strange to think that alternative architectures were possible though and could get such a foothold in some industries. The specificity is mind-blowng. Everything is "PC"s today.

guerrilla··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
> My wife uses ddg and outlook, she's non-technical

My mom too. The difference though is that they have us. Most people don't.

guerrilla··on Microsoft will give the FBI a Windows PC data encryption key if ordered
No, that's how I interpreted the headline.
guerrilla··on Microsoft will give the FBI a Windows PC data encryption key if ordered
It's just a matter of time. It's obvious the tides are turning.
guerrilla··on Proof of Corn
Looks like proof of cheating to me, at least for now. Definitely a step in an interesting direction, but not exactly SkyNet.
guerrilla··on Booting from a vinyl record (2020)
Okay, that is very cool. I love how doable it is too if you can get hands on the media that is.
guerrilla··on AI Usage Policy
> Other people apparently don't have this feeling at all.

I think this is interesting too. I've noticed the difference in dating/hook-up contexts. The people you're talking about also end up getting laid more but that group also has a very large intersection with sex pests and other shitty people. The thing they have in common though is that they just don't care what other people think about them. That leads some of them to be successful if they are otherwise good people... or to become borderline or actual crininals if not. I find it fascinating actually, like how does this difference come about and can it actually be changed or is it something we get early in life or from the genetic lottery.

guerrilla··on Linux from Scratch
> Is this the Dark Souls of linux distros?

haha Yes. That's a bit what it feels like.

guerrilla··on Are arrays functions?
Yes.
guerrilla··on String theory can now describe a universe that has dark energy?
> don't decide

shouldn't* decide

guerrilla··on Level S4 solar radiation event
The peak was originally supposed to be 6-7 hours from now... it's still showing KP 8 here though, so I'm not sure what's going on. It could get more intense.
guerrilla··on Level S4 solar radiation event
> while the site in question is "blaring klaxons!"

No, it isn't. It clearly says everything is under control but it would be good to keep an eye on it.

guerrilla··on Radboud University selects Fairphone as standard smartphone for employees
Plus you can buy them second hand pretty eaeily too.
guerrilla··on psc: The ps utility, with an eBPF twist and container context
Fair enough. Letting the computer do the work instead of the brain/body.
guerrilla··on psc: The ps utility, with an eBPF twist and container context
Sounds less efficient in both space and time.
guerrilla··on A Year of Work on the Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) Project
No thanks. It works. Don't break it. Thanks.
guerrilla··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
There have been known vulnerabilities in ASUS firmware, but I was referring to Armoury Crate which is forcefully pushed on Windows users.

> I'd like to see your evidence.

I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case.

guerrilla··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
Because we all know ASUS doesn't install backdoors by default...
guerrilla··on A Year of Work on the Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) Project
Okay, I'm saying don't break it.
guerrilla··on A Year of Work on the Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) Project
What packages are you talking about?

It does it's job. I've been using it on the desktop for decades now with never needing to care about anything like that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

guerrilla··on A Year of Work on the Arch Linux Package Management (ALPM) Project
As a user, is anything going to change? I don't want to need to know about whatever this is. Everything already works fine. Are you planning on breaking it?
guerrilla··on Do not mistake a resilient global economy for populist success
Well, being right is better than being wrong, which is what happens when you claim that GDP as a measure of progress is valid. It simply doesn't measure what matter to the majority of humans, which has been argued endlessly already.
guerrilla··on Iran Protest Map
It eventually started working on its own. I changed nothing.
guerrilla··on Do not mistake a resilient global economy for populist success
That's hardly a relevant response considering no society have used any of the ones I am speaking about in the way that you mean. The OECD, UN, IMF and others use many of them as secondary metrics though.
guerrilla··on Do not mistake a resilient global economy for populist success
It's definitely not the best we have though. People have created all kinds of metrics which measured things in better ways more relevant to our human goals. It's an entire genre of publication in economics and some of them are very popular. It's a choice to ignore them.

Also, see what djtango said. It's not that simple.

guerrilla··on Sopro TTS: A 169M model with zero-shot voice cloning that runs on the CPU
How big are TTS models like this usually?

.kkrieger looks like an amazing game for the mid-90s. It's incomprehensible that it's only 96kb.

guerrilla··on Sopro TTS: A 169M model with zero-shot voice cloning that runs on the CPU
Thank you for commenting. I wonder if this could be another situation like "the dress" (2015) or maybe something is wrong with our codecs...
guerrilla··on Sopro TTS: A 169M model with zero-shot voice cloning that runs on the CPU
No shade on you. It's definitely impressive. I just didn't understand people's reactions.
guerrilla··on Sopro TTS: A 169M model with zero-shot voice cloning that runs on the CPU
I mean I'm talking about the mp4. How could people possibly be worried about scammers after listening to that?
guerrilla··on Sopro TTS: A 169M model with zero-shot voice cloning that runs on the CPU
I don't understand the comments here at all. I played the audio and it sounds absolutely horrible, far worse than computer voices sounded fifteen years ago. Not even the most feeble minded person would mistake that as a human. Am I not hearing the same thing everyone else is hearing? It sounds straight up corrupted to me. Tested in different browsers, no difference.
