  1. So the author sent spam that they're not interested in? That's terrible.
  2. Similar to Google thinking that having an AI write for your daughter is a good parenting: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-gemini-ai-dear-sydney-ol...
  3. You can get a 7040 series Ryzen mainboard for $380.

    https://frame.work/products/mainboard-amd-ryzen-7040-series?...

    So I don't understand your $1000 complaint ... that's the most expensive mainboard they offer. You think Framework shouldn't offer the high end stuff?

  4. My current 128gb AI 300 started as a 16 GB 12th gen Intel. Unrelated, I also upgraded to the higher resolution screen.

    For me anyway, the answer is "yes".

  5. Kyber is an I/O scheduler. Nothing to do with this article.
  6. That's remarkable, since his comment says nothing about events.

    Still, it sounds like you're saying that Linux drivers are more than glorified do loops spinning on IRQs, right? If so, then I guess we agree.

  7. You're saying you believe every Linux driver actually is a glorified while loop?

    I guess it makes sense you're having trouble hiring qualified candidates.

  8. > Every driver is a glorified while loop waiting for an IRQ

    This is so obviously false that I suspect there's the reason you don't see any Rust gurus agreeing with you.

    Drivers do lots of resource and memory management, far more than just spinning on IRQs.

  9. As long as the receiver is always-on and always listening. Easy when plugged into the wall, like a TV. Not so easy when it's on battery.
  10. They did look into putting a trackpoint in there, but there wasn't enough depth in the keyboard cover to support it. Making it work would take re-doing the whole bottom shell (apparently).

    I'm tempted to make a thicker bezel so the screen won't close all the way anymore. Pick up the room for a trackpoint by going wedge shaped! (edit, obvious downside: the screen would be a lot weaker when closed)

  11. You claim:

    > There's a bunch of outdated info in here

    Then link to a 3 week old issue and a repo that didn't meaningfully exist until two months ago? Wow.

    If you consider that to be outdated, then that reinforces the OP's point about Matrix being difficult to host.

    > at this point the old app is just not being developed; we don't have bandwidth to do both.

    You're wording that as if it's a good excuse for providing a poor user experience. It's not.

  12. a) As of when? I had a "cannot decrypt" room failure on matrix.org a year ago.

    b) Unfortunately, X breaks other important things, like audio/video calls. It currently feels like an alpha-quality release: buggy and lots of missing features. Not ready for widespread use.

  13. > Wind and solar existed in the 70s as well.

    Not really. Solar has gone down in price almost 500X since 1975.

    Wind has gone down significantly too.

    Meanwhile, the graph for nuclear waste disposal is going rapidly in the opposite direction.

  14. Clout enhancement clause
  15. Pilots are already overloaded so we can probably overload them a little more?
  16. If gun owners are being denied health care or being told who they can marry ("it's illegal to marry a fellow gun owner"), then yes, they'll probably want to avoid anyone wretched enough to advocate that.

    Short of that, it's NBD right? Not really comparable.

  17. Unnecessarily strong? 2kW of solar weighs about the same as one roofer.

    If your roof can't hold up solar, it also can't hold up the people that need to work on it.

  18. To eat the world, first you must eat social media.
  19. And you're saying that their guy was Ford? Or Carter? That's what the CIA wanted?

    You're going to have to explain more.

  20. Coal plants are dead, partly due to the fly ash. I'm not sure you want to put nuclear in the same boat?
  21. From the preliminary report, quote: "In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so."

    I'm trying to understand your complaint here... you think you need to hear their voices with your own ears to believe it?

  22. Smaller pools are slower.
  23. Then he would have asked the other pilot why the engines are shutting down. It seems a lot more probable that he glanced at the switches before asking such an explicit question.
  24. Firefox never took off.
  25. That would have been a good post if you'd stopped at the first paragraph.

    Your second paragraph is either a meaningless observation on the difference between static and dynamic linking or also incorrect. Not sure what your intent was.

  26. Because of the difference between:

    "Congratulations! You flew 100,000 miles with us!"

    "Congratulations! You spent $100,000 with us!"

  27. Until 1994, the year of the first software-only recall, maybe. Things have changed.

    Heck, manufacturers were issuing service bulletins to fix the fuel maps in their cars in the 1980s.

  28. Sure, it's an inherently fuzzy concept, but that hasn't mattered much until now.
  29. Sure. Gare du Nord handles thousands of train movements per day. Shinjuku Station is even busier.
