Even Jim Keller says that instruction decode is the difference, and that saves a lot of battery for ARM even if it doesn't change the core efficiency at full lot.

It's very difficult to determine if the length is due to the font being used or due to actually being hyphen or emdash.

Was there any attempt at making rules for experimental features looser than other filesystems? That seems to be the biggest bottleneck here.

Em-dashes are very confusing to me, can never figure out if it is a emdash or a hyphen, so I avoid them altogether.

Are you worried that ChatGPT will give you wrong words just because they look natural? (And yes it does)

Consumer protection can still be separate in this case. That's not a problem at all. The only reason it is not prevalent in these countries yet is because they in general have lax consumer protection laws. But this can easily change. The unified payment interface does nothing to exclude it.

India has UPI. China has something. It is only a good thing that this should spread everywhere.

Poor people will always want to move to richer neighborhoods. The advantage to their kids from this is much higher than the stress and bad effects especially as early in kids life as possible.

So, a lot of people will be looking to move as soon as they can afford it.

Only legal requirements can change it. Nowadays, the mokutil is good enough that linux users can build a good tool around it to automate registration at boot that should ease some pain. But otherwise, it is a big mess and still needs legal requirement.

I use it very routinely to generate tikz diagrams. It is obviously wrong and I need to manually tweak a little bit. But the hardest part is often to get something working at first, and in this AI is first class. It gets me 90% there, and rest is me.

It's kind of true. I only use it for simple stuff that I don't have time for. For example, how to write a simple diagram in tikz. The Ai does the simple and busywork of providing a good enough approximation which I can tweak and get what I want.

For hard questions, I prefer to use my own skills, because AI often regurgitates what I'm already aware. I still ask AI in the off-chance it comes up with something cool, but most often, I have to do it myself.

No. It's not competitive. You'll spend previous time (which should be spent on prototyping an design) on solving bugs and writing infrastructure code. Reverse engineering has not been a viable effort for a long time now.
