Eh, it’s nothing new in general. My software development (both at work and private) is being done by teams of semi-antagonistic agents. I only get to see code after the grumpy reviewer bot ran out of reasons to be grumpy and the pedantic formalist ensured all specs are still adhered to. Saves on the most expensive resource.

I find that truly mystifying. I won’t go through the hassle of opening an account on any platform just to see some dumbed down website. I can’t be the only one, can I?

That one final number is all one needs as a reply for "but they help a little".

Uh wait, a cookie that can be reused for a time to fetch the rest of the content? That's the exact opposite of what I'd intuitively want for this system...

In his recent goodbye meeting he very much gave off a "I will die at my desk" kind of energy. Quite unstoppable.

A better system is in beta in Switzerland. Government is the root of trust, but only signs your private cert regarding your ID. All the interaction with third parties is local to your device, the government doesn’t get to know you interacted with Discord. Discord gets a single bit “is the user of this device 16/18 (restricted/full legal autonomy age) years old?” With chain of trust to the government.

Realistically this would be another service attached to the government ID. Something like this does function in some European countries, doesn’t it?

You can notice that memory bandwidth advantage even in workloads like photo editing and code compilation. That and the performance cores reserved for foreground compute, on top of the usual "Linux sucks at swap" (was it fixed? I haven't enabled swap on my Linux machines for ages by now), does make a day-to-day difference in my usage.

It's slowly approaching what SRE has been dealing with for distributed systems... You just have to accept things won't be fully understood and whip out your statistical tooling, it's ok. And if they get the engineering right, you might still keep your low latency corner where only an understandable set of things are allowed.

Even online I get a lot of ads for goods/services I do use, or could see myself using.

Don't worry, I'm willing to bet that there's an AI integration in the works for this...

Society might care about cost _including externalities_. A truck running on discarded frying oil might offer a lower price and there’s no way to account for the resulting health outcomes. Exceeding capacity lowers unit price and usually doesn’t lead to an accident. Many industries around the world have shown that without functioning enforcement of reasonable rules you immediately get the tragedy of the commons.

No I don’t.

If only this had the F key row. Why is "fewer keys" the first decision that every fancy keyboard designer starts with :/
