Win11 becomes a less and less appealing switch day by day… When I can no longer hold into Win10, I think I’ll just have to jump ship to Linux.

Win10 is already quite privacy poor, but Win11 is straight up intolerable.

Well I suppose the answer I’d give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries

Any real world implementation of maths (such as the length of an object) would definitely be constricted to real world parameters, and the lowest length you can go to is the Planck length.

But that point wasn’t just to talk about a plank of wood, it was to show how little difference the infinite 9s in 0.999… make.

0.999… / 3 = 0.333… 1 / 3 = 0.333… Ergo 1 = 0.999…

(Or see algebraic proof by @Valthorn@feddit.nu)

If the difference between two numbers is so infinitesimally small they are in essence mathematically equal, then I see no reason to not address then as such.

If you tried to make a plank of wood 0.999…m long (and had the tools to do so), you’d soon find out the universe won’t let you arbitrarily go on to infinity. You’d find that when you got to the planck length, you’d have to either round up the previous digit, resolving to 1, or stop at the last 9.

I agree on them being safe - when rules are properly adhered to, they’re extremely safe, similarly to air travel. People only suspect their safety because when they do fail, they tend to fail spectacularly, again similar to air travel.

Having said that, they may be efficient to operate, but they are by no means efficient to build. They cost a lot of resources, and have a 10 year lead time - plus you need to worry about the cost of waste storage and decommissioning.

So sure, nuclear is better than fossil fuels, but you’re just kicking the nonrenewable can down the road.

That time and resources would be far better spent on renewables, because that where humanity is gonna have to go long-term no matter how well any other alternatives work.

With how much time these “macho” conservatives spend thinking about gay people, even when marrying their own wives, it sure does seem like they’re hiding something

The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??

Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.

Just ‘how’ many ‘quotation’ ‘marks’ do you ‘need’ to get ‘your’ ‘satire’ across.

I get that you can’t exactly just throw a /s at the end of your headline, but this has the same energy as a political comic with nouns written on literally everything.

Considering the German government will do basically anything to get away from even the slightest hint of antisemitism, I can see exactly why they’re doing this.

But it’s comical for Germany to be bending over backwards to avoid repeating it’s genocidal past whilst turning a complete blind eye to an actual ongoing genocide.

Who knew all you needed to do to end homelessness was to tell them to go home! /s

Takes a special kind of idiot to not realise this is such a stupid and shitty thing to say.

Cows, sure. Just don’t startle them or go near their calfs. They’re mostly just curious.

Bulls, only if you have to, but make it quick and stay as far away from them as you can. They’re fiercely territorial and not afraid to show it.

Pretty sure later updates for Windows 10 started doing this too, or at least it did on my PC.

Had to completely uninstall OneDrive to get it to stop - which Microsoft sure do make quite difficult to do.

Exactly!

Applicants are expected to dedicated hours of their time to writing their application and performing background research - both of which are becoming increasingly more tedious over time - so the least a company could bloody do is show some basic respect by paying an actual human being to come interview you!

The idea of AI automated job interviews sickens me. How little of a fuck do you have to give about applicants that you can’t even be bothered to have even a single person interview them??

The TL;DR for the article is that the headline isn’t exactly true. At this moment in time their PPU can potentially double a CPU’s performance - the 100x claim comes with the caveat of “further software optimisation”.

Tbh, I’m sceptical of the caveat. It feels like me telling someone I can only draw a stickman right now, but I could paint the Mona Lisa with some training.

Of course that could happen, but it’s not very likely to - so I’ll believe it when I see it.

Having said that they’re not wrong about CPU bottlenecks and the slowed rate of CPU performance improvements - so a doubling of performance would be huge in this current market.

That’s hardly even a story - house repairs cost a lot of money, and NASA’s equipment (by their own admission) caused the damage.

It’s only the police that get away with ruining people’s things without paying.

Imagine not knowing it’s short for Bobsworth

PoV you’re a man trying to find the clitoris:

Won’t somebody please think of the capitalists!

What would these publishers do if they had to be charitable and not force libraries to pay >1000% more than retail for a digital version of their book just so children from impoverished communities could have access to them!?

Those poor fat cats would starve I tell you! starve!!

Trump’s lawyers are expected to argue that none of the memos should have been given to prosecutors on the crime-fraud exception, which allows prosecutors to see privileged communications between a defendant and a lawyer, if their legal advice was used in furtherance of a crime.

They’re expected to argue on the basis that these memos didn’t amount to using Corcoran’s legal advice.

But surely that’s a moot point, because while Trump didn’t use of any specific legal advice, he absolutely abused the privileged information obtained from Corcoran (such as the date of the inspection and the date of his return) in obstructing the return of classified documents to the whitehouse.

The memos make quite clear that Trump abused attorney-client privilege in furtherance of a crime. Plain and simple.

And I severely doubt Corcoran didn’t know what Trump’s intentions were with that information - and if not before, he certainly should’ve known afterwards when being “asked” to pluck out documents.

I legitimately have to wonder how it can be legal for Trump to be trialled by judges he put into power, and that have shown such clear and demonstrable biases in his favour - even going so far as to deliberately delay cases as far as legally possible.

As @ptz@dubvee.org put it, it’s like he’s got an extra special justice system especially for him - who knew all you needed to do was appoint your own judges.
