The EU requires a 1 year warranty on electronics, where in the US it's only 90 days. The higher cost of electronics reflects this.

Read the header here for an explanation, it's not going away.

When the founders are also the lead engineers, incentives are aligned. I asked the Ableton CEO at multiple events and expos to fix repeatable bugs, and add proper PDC, and he mocked me.

This is an example of the False Equivalency logical fallacy.

Whenever I see this many emojis in a readme, I assume the entire project was written by AI.

Because businesses always support their software better than individuals?

I can imagine a possible future of 100% Rust takeover of the kernel.

Grass is always greener my friend.

Many jobs in finance are updating 20 year old Java code, or figuring out new ways to load data in and out of Excel files for custom reporting.

Recording good audio remains more difficult than artificial intelligence.

Why do JavaScript programmers call ini files "environment variables" ?

Anyone else getting some Elden Ring vibes on this?

A heuristic that I use when judging code quality is a search for "datas" or "metadatas".

Rare perspective, and I totally agree. Building more homes is like expanding roads. It doesn't solve the root problem.

It has the vibe of something made by a team who have never created only for the pure love of art.

I'm a mix/master engineer, and I just skimmed the paper to look for attenuation potential of this new material. It looks like they only tested above 100 HZ, which is still alright for conversation, but not for professional recording studios.

As you can imagine, the low frequency attenuation isn't great. But the performance of higher frequency attenuation is pretty good. I think this material would work well for meeting rooms, and perhaps restaurants. Not for recording studios.

De-Incentivize the landlord market

Louis is great at everything except brevity.

Not my app, here's a summary: https://www.summarize.tech/youtu.be/dqTYg6vnQvw?si=PLdzW5-ew...

Is it possible to process my own videos with this? Is there a python/cuda API?

The best Airbnb advice is to never use it.

Sundar Pichai was working at Google via McKinsey

Attacking critical infrastructure in order to perform a robbery is the plot of several of the Die Hard movies. In those films, the group of antagonists performing the attack are generally called "terrorists"

Notifications about printing photos are simple to configure. As are the "AI" battery charging options. Google uses AI in most of their products transparently, and we seldom realize it.

The 2019 MacPro with Xeon has ECC RAM.

It's a bit judgmental to call their UEFI "garbage" just because it didn't work correctly for you.

I agree it's frustrating they don't support booting other operating systems, but please be fair or provide some more evidence before you call some software "garbage"

Microsoft's refusal to deprecate old APIs is definitely a reason for many of their security problems. However, the old theory that "windows has a bigger install base, therefore it's a bigger target" seems logical but is disproven with several other popular examples- Apache vs. IIS was a common counter-argument in the early 2000s.

I've worked at companies with 100s of thousands of Linux servers, and only 10s of thousands of Windows desktops and servers. The quantity of security problems these companies had with their Windows systems compared to their Linux systems was astounding.

Yes it does "hurt" because it creates an inconsistent visual style. Windows is a mess because of the refusal to deprecate old APIs.

GTK and Gnome are almost 25 years old, and they're nowhere as messy as the Windows

The Indian government is complacent because they allow such extreme poverty to exist where people need to seek out scams like this in order to survive.

Extreme inequities rationalized by an abusive caste system, mixed with a culture that praises creative work avoidance.

How many people are in your organization?

I doubt prison, but I'm sure they'll be busy defending Sam and themselves for a few years.
