AI still needs a lot of parallelism but has low latency requirements. That makes it ideal for a large expansion card instead of putting it directly on the CPU die.

I can’t imagine how you think it’s incredibly simple. These things are hell to explain to pretty much any normal person who needs to know why there’s no picture on the monitor or why their laptop/phone is not charging, or why the keyboard isn’t working in BIOS (no USB 3 support so you gotta switch to a USB 2 port). Add to that the combinatorial complexity of different cables and hubs supporting different things, and no tools for troubleshooting what feature is missing (and where in the chain) or what is suboptimal.

Worse, sometimes it’s my boss who thinks they can cheap out and get a USBC dock instead of a proper dock, forcing me to run at non-native lower resolutions or unable to use a second screen.

Search patterns yes, but also location data, and it’s aggregated over all your friends. So if you go to a restaurant together with a friend who recently searched for some clothes brand, the algorithm will know that and show you ads for that brand. Chances are you talked about his interests when you met, so you incorrectly infer that it was listening to the conversation.

Critically, “Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft told 404 Media they have no involvement with CMG’s Voice Data tool.”

But more importantly, they can’t listen on your microphone unless you give them permission. It’s not a thing that is technically possible. And like the article says, these days phones even show an indicator to alert you when the microphone is on.

Yeah I’m not sure that war crimes work that way. You don’t get a pass because the opponent is doing illegal things.

The UI looks mostly like Firefox IMO. Critically, it’s just as slow as Firefox.

Unfortunately the license agreement for .Net forbids publishing any kind of benchmark results.

WASM? Are you talking about WebAssembly?

More like, the devs already knew but some middle manager promised they would remove it without understanding the ramifications, and now they’ve been schooled.

The next 10 years

AI as a general concept probably will at some point. But LLMs have all but reached the end of the line and they’re not nearly smart enough.

IntelliJ is an all-out full IDE in the tradition of the old Visual Studio or Borland IDE:s, so it makes sense there. Zed is ostensibly a text editor in the same niche as VS Code, vim and Sublime, where I expect to be able to just open a single file and edit it without any bigger investment.

I typically have both an IDE and a text editor installed, for different use cases. But Zed can never replace IntelliJ and because of this design choice it can’t replace VS Code/vim/Notepad++ either.

It drives me nuts that there’s no way to close a folder once you opened it. There’s no way to just edit a file without making it a “project”. In my mind that’s a weird design decision (which is probably rooted in weird fundamental ideas) and gives me no warm & fuzzy feeling about what direction it will take in the future.

What a disgrace.

It’s crazy that so many people get so hung up on the size of the crowds. Like are you going to vote based on who gets the bigger crowd? What happened to voting based on the candidate’s policies and track record as a politician?

This seems like such a poor choice if you want a cross platform browser.

I think they don’t require that anymore. It’s a “Meta login” which can be separate from Facebook. At least for Quest devices.

This smells like an SEO article and the link is here to boost it in the Google results. There’s literally no information in there that isn’t just common sense.

Others said their local offices had closed since the pandemic

This part is wild. So they closed down the office and then punish the employees for not coming into the office. Tell me this is illegal.

I agree his answer sucks, but perhaps the fault still lies with the distribution developers (who should know better), not the authors of systemd. In that context I can understand the resentment expressed by the dev. It’s not directed toward the end user but toward the distro developers, who have implemented systemd in a broken and dangerous way.
