A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.

  • I disagree on one point: the job of the education system is not to produce new workers, but to produce citizens. If I were I charge, I would force all stem students to take humanities courses. We have enough narrow-minded tech Bros.

  • Man, wifi is black magic. Not the nice kind that draws kittens out of hats, but that one that need a blood sacrifice to work

  • This is the correct answer. Modern x86 (x64) is a RISC CPU with a decoder that can decode a cisc isa.

  • Works quite well. Scrcpy is some great "just works" piece of software. I use it for all kinds of stuff, from typing with my PCs screen and keyboard in android apps, to remotely connecting to phones hooked up in a lab (using adb over SSH port forwarding, plus reverse forwarding whatevet 27... port scrcpy uses)

  • He is certainly not the best pick, was considered very conservative 30 years ago, but I don't think he is an open pro US lobbyist. From what you hear in the news, he seems to cooperate quite well with France and the like.

  • There is a difference between an asshole and an idiot.

  • Honestly, I get why one would be discouraged by signal, but as long as your threat model is not "NSA and mossad have a price on my head", I think it is still the best non-federated alternative. I'd rather take a flawed messenger with well regarded encryption than a beta version that nobody with time and crypto knowledge ever looked at.

  • modern

    But i also feel like xmpp got feature creeped. Not to long ago, basically every messenger spoke its own subset of xmpp, basically.

  • The best analogy is still E-mail. Me@Gmail.com can talk to you@outlook.com, which can talk to employee@random-company.com. Sometimes an email service shuts down - has anyone checked if yahoo still exists?

    So in that case, you have to get a new mail and probably move your important stuff over. It sure sucks, but there is no good way around it, if you want to be able to choose between different services.

    Imagine everyone using only gmail: what if Google decided you smell and they don't want your business any more? What if Google decided to make every login cost $5? Or that you need to say "I love Coca Cola" to read your mail?

  • Interestingly, Hitler was pretty much constantly high at the end of the war. But he did write his manifesto while in jail, so he was not evil because he was on drugs, he just happened to be evil and then started drugs. Might explain some of the more stupid late war decisions.

  • As someone who infrequently enjoys recreational drugs, I disagree. There is a difference between a glass of wine on Friday evening and horse tranquilizer every morning.

  • The funny thing is, half of Telegram is drugs, conspiracy nuts and really weird humour. The ai is going to be great, I can already see it.

  • 100%. Same reasoning I have for mandatory civil service (instead of military). Even just a shared memory of how doing it sucked balls could do wonders for social cohesion.

  • I like your optimism, but sadly I cannot share it..

  • Really? It looks quite alive to me, I would assume that pose and expression take some muscle tension to hold. But tbh, if there were wolves that big around me, I would carry a gun as well. You know, just in case, I'd rather look stupid than become the statistic anomaly.

  • Jokes aside, I think it is more that they want to attract the really good people. There already is a complete power imbalance in many science fields, and in applied fields, they will still have to compete with industry jobs.

  • It's been a while since I dealt with my favourite maker of totally legit Diesel ECUs that absolutely have no cheat function built in, what are they up to now?

  • As someone thinking of doing a PhD, I want those dirty foreigners and their ivy league diplomas out! They are stealing my jobs!

  • Yup. People don't care about the kids mining their cobalt. To care about the animals they eat would be a long process.
