Re:AI is a tool and using it well takes skill on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @05:14AM (#50084653)
you can "learn", but it is the same and when you start to learn coding, or do homework, you read the solution and "aaah, I get it", but next time you still won't be able to do it unless you've done without reading the answer before.

reading code is not the same as writing code, the second one is much harder.

just don't buy cables from generic or awful brands, you can go with some reputable ones like cablematters,startech, caldigit, or satechi, also you can check USB-IF members. For other cables like displayport, just buy only certified cables that can be checked on displayport site, before buying any.

same for thunderbolt, etc.

you may pay a bit more, but they will comply the specs and be higher quality than the other generic brands.

this has happened to me with dell monitors since years ago, also with razer peripherals.

read about the drama of carlsen and niemann before saying that chess is cheat-resistant
it's not much different than a samsung device phoning their servers for every thing the device does.

but in this case as it does to china, people are a bit paranoid. usually mostly is their cloud services for notetaking or some push notifications.

but I think I remember people saying they could disable everything by rooting the devices.

they didn't, they even said something like "lol we don't care, we will never make things open source".
boox devices are not even close to 75hz though

not even the latest ones like tab x c

fair enough, don't release it on europe and lose access to a market of 700 million people from the first world who pay the highest prices

maybe your game can live only by the sales of the US

If you go from Paris to Warsaw, you still won't need a passport, just a basic ID

Schengen area

travelling around Europe as European is not much more hassle than moving on the US from one state to the other.

maybe the workforce is not really behind the non-profit foundation and want shares to skyrocket, sell, and be well off for life.

at the end of the day, the people working there are not rich like the founders and money talks when you have to pay rent, eat and send your kids to a private college.

I feel more like companies "worried" about disclosure to governments in 24 hours worry more about needing to fix things fast and maybe hire more people to do it than from security concerns issues.

chat-gpt at the end is a language model, not an real AI, it have limits and are huge
that have a reason, as it's been demostrated by a lot of metastudies you can find on cochrane that there is usually much more worst outcomes and long term effects on the broad of the population when misdiagnosed by overdiagnosing than just simply saving an extra 0.01% (not real number)

the same reason of why for example now there is an advocacy to end yearly mammograms on older woman, because the number of them saved by that practice is inferior to the ones that are misdiagnosed and then put under other unnecesary medical practices that end up hurting more by unnecesary practices on a lot of them that would have never developed a cancer or under pressure to the ones that no one will be able to save no matter how sooner they got the diagnostic.

infinite constant and unnecesary medical tests is not the way for now, maybe in the future, but not now.

I think that it's more in the line of

- I jumped some walls that others won't be able because I knew the right people as we work together and they dedicated some of their personal time and public funds to help me, but they won't do it for you

but without sounding like he used the privileges he really had

HiFiMAN has really destroyed the audiophile market for other brands. Every single bracket of their products perform like any other company +50% extra price product

Sundaras were amazing, but the new edition XS were just the last straw for competitors, never a headset of that quality was so affordable, the equivalent from other brands can even cost 2x the price.

Re:Russian forces invade Ukraine after Putin orders attack on Thursday February 24, 2022 @01:38AM (#30451342)
there are other countries that are closer to Russia than cities like Kyiv , but Russia is invading them

also, why Russia should decide on how other countries decide their internal affairs?

Ukraine doesn't need the approval of Russia to join or not join NATO.

A construction worker moving to cloud security and in a single sabbatical year already scrutinizing by himself the firmware and closed OS of a treadmill.

makes me happy. Hope a lot of people can leave behind those low paid high effort jobs thanks to this 2 shitty years

Re:Macron says France will build new nuclear energy reactors on Wednesday November 10, 2021 @02:10AM (#29171951)
uranium may not be a fossil fuel but it shares all the problems of them

- pollution and waste - it's limited

At the current consumption, uranium would only last 80 years, if all the countries start to build new power plants, won't last more than 2 decades before it's depleted, and we will have the same problem again.

nuclear power is not a solution, is just a small patch.

Re:Macron says France will build new nuclear energy reactors on Wednesday November 10, 2021 @01:58AM (#29171897)
At the current consumption, uranium will only last 80 years, with the new surge for nuclear plants, will not even last 25

thorium won't last much more, and it's not even viable at this point, this seems like a desperate attempt to maintain the power consumption per capita for some more years before the inevitable collapse.

yeah no, tell that to someone living in for example paris, london or madrid, where even with decent public transport you are gonna lose on average a bare minimum of 2 hours daily commuting to work.

The math didn't add when they said that they were already covered. They were lying about the position they hold.
you won't forfeit the domain if you are a EU citizen no matter where you emigrate.

The domains are for residents on the EU or EU citizens. That were the rules when people registered them. As UK left the block and are not EU citizens, it's not spiteful nor petty, just the rules they accepted when they decided to register the domains
