this is the mentality of the modern age, as shaped by america and all empires before her, e.g. supreme leader khomeini no longer exists because the man americans voted for as head of the armed forces decided it would be better this way.

I don't think the discourse is about just this one guy, it's about an entire class of people for whom swiping around a smartphone is a bewildering experience they managed to live their whole life so far without. If you're not adept at it, it makes you feel stupid, maybe you haven't had that experience but there's more to being a luddite than stubbornness.

If I can get along with the rest of my life on a flip phone, it seems pretty unreasonable to buy a device just to buy sports tickets.

I may be a worm but at least I respect that others might have a different take on how best to make creative work an attainable way of life since before copyright law it was basically "have a wealthy patron who steered if not outright commissioned what you would produce"

It's true it can be done but many business owners are not hip to cloudflare r2 buckets or github pages. Many are still paying for a whole dedicated server to run apache (and wordpress!) to serve static files. These sites will go down when hammered by unscrupulous bots.

Good to know, I shouldn't be surprised anything is possible once you get into having an account executive catering to you.

meta had the gpus to train llama because of their capital spend on horizons, so at least they were in the game, but maybe he didn't see "chatbot" as a trillion dollar product category

They deliver on contracts or else they wouldn’t keep getting them

Claiming a particular weapons system is “necessary” is war brained. There are other ways of survival besides bombing the shit out of each other.

Certainly we do not need to make those decisions based on fuzzy vector search, probably how the opening salvo of the Iran war ended up killing a hundred school girls

I really have never heard of on prem 365 deployments, I think any confidentiality is handled via contracted promises with legal ramifications for breaking. With Azure GovCloud for instance there’s no encryption / user key custody on the one drive side, everything you do is uploaded to Microsoft and they maintain keys, they just hire people who passed a background check to run the infrastructure, US nationals only etc

I don’t think that’s the reason, seeing as a car is already endangering everyone around it by existing. More likely about keeping the tooling to diagnose issues proprietary and expensive.

You can feel that way, but plenty of car configuration has always been locked away and walled off, and manufacturers make a tidy profit selling software licenses to dealers and mechanics to perform basic diagnostics. Proprietary software is big business what can you do.

The day I found out there’s a dropdown menu that turns blender into a multi-track video editor on par with Vegas if not Final Cut… blender hides its complexity well.

Perhaps I can place the monitor on my scanner and take a “screenshot” that way xD

Re: refresh rates I can’t find a good stat with a brief googling but it’s a Boox Mira, E Ink VB3300-NCD

You can tolerably watch video so somewhere north of 20fps but there’s ghosting. A friendly button on the front of the display is there to do a hard refresh if the artifacts build up too much. But yes I should do a comparison on how different desktop environments do, with animations turned off etc, scrolling that jumps line by line like vim or eMacs will work better than smooth scrolling for instance.

I liked lies my teacher told me a lot. I always thought it’d be fun to generate a “get up to speed” pamphlet for every year in every school district depending on who was supplying the text books to the zip code + year you went to school, so you could find out what misinformation you carry with you (since so few people are in the business of retroactively fact checking what they were taught as kids)

Maybe Something to do with Family Purchase Sharing. I didn’t realize when I bought an audio book it would appear in my dad’s library. Kind of embarrassing. Apple’s help pages make it sound very opt in but I think there are bugs where libraries are merged by default. Some say on a quiet night you can still hear Bono singing “sexy boots”…
