Who are you referring too? I am really curious.
Yep, I make this point often.

The only two that match up with the Windows piece of the puzzle are Dave Kleiman and Paul Le Roux. Of those two, Paul Le Roux had a interest in online gambling. Guess what the first Bitcoin release had references to.

This came across my feed and I found a lot of the tech they demo'd very cool.

In particular, the augmented overlay of the roads and officer waypoint.

Can't and not being allowed are two very different things

One of the most profoundly dumb comments I have read here.

It takes 3 seconds to look up the 24h volume for BTC and it is $9.6 Billion

My question is where is he going to get the data?

Twitter, reddit and the rest of the web have deployed a number of anti-scrape techniques.

This is HackerNews, we all know who Carmack is.

Just about everyone (even diehard Apple fanboys) knew this would flop.

I think this is one of the use cases for a sandboxed WASM plugin system.
eDrawings for Mac is not Solidworks
Neat, I built a tool to quickly do this manually via key bindings[0].

As a data archivist, I would definitely recommend a setting to turn off rename of files as that can often be a database id, timestamp, etc.

Why is it so hard for models to say "I don't know" or "That never happened"?

This seems to be a fundamental side effect of next token thinking, training data, etc.

I recently had to RMA my i9-13900KS because it was faulty. I was experiencing some of the weirdest behavior I have ever seen on a PC. For example, 1. Whenever I tried to install Nvidia drivers I would get "7-zip: Data error" 2. A fresh install of Windows would give me SxS error when trying to launch edge 3. I could not open the control panel 4.

>Spaceship Neptune was developed to be the most accessible, most sustainable, and safest spacecraft on or above our planet.

I was very dubious about the sustainable part since I assumed they would be using helium, but it looks like they are using renewable hydrogen.

Checking his github account was no surprise to me. Of course it was loaded with cheats for multiplayer games.
I really hate python's lack of curly braces.

It makes code so much more unreadable, copy+paste error prone, etc.

Would be nice if this new language made them optional so new code could could be written with them.

Bad article. This is an outsider's perspective looking in. Godot and Blender are no where near industry standards.

Have they said anything about the implant destroying/killing brain cells it is next to?

I have heard that is the number one issue with invasive implants.

Good examples of this are bunny hopping and rollout doomfist.
