Win 98 was basically perfect imo... Everything about that UI was simple and predictable. Menus were descriptive and information dense. No unnecessary widgets and fancy UI.

If you're looking for pure productivity then Win 98 was great. XP and 7 were great too, but they had more unnecessary UI junk while becoming overly minimalistic where it matters. I strongly disagreed with removing the "Start" button and replacing it with the four squares button for example. And presumably they only did that because some UI dude thought it looked better... It's not like modern screens don't have room for the text.
You're not testing to tell MS that there's a bug. You're testing to make sure that your software doesn't break on the latest version of Windows.
Considering Grok was saying he and Trump are the biggest spreaders of disinformation, and that they're both the most deserving of the death penalty, maybe it won't be so bad:

After the purchase you get to download the audio files. And it stays available to download in your profile.
Oh yeah I confirm they do that. It's an highly dysfunctional company.

voip.ms is really bad too.
I know it’s gonna sound stupid, but personally, I’ve literally never had problems. In extreme scenarios, I’ve gone as far as taking screenshots and saving it to my Dropbox and calling it a day. Having your screenshot folder to point to cloud storage then also having autobackups to somewhere else is a better storage than having a gigantic pile of papers.
Probably depends on the radio station and area but I work in one and we're actually using something much higher quality for remote radio, for example:

If course it has to be pre-planned, someone needs to have the hardware with them. So sometimes there's a spontaneous connection over normal mobile phone. That's something that everyone has with them at all times.

The CEO is blatantly lying to you at a level that I would call securities fraud.

First off the basic facts are wrong, SpaceX has just over 7000 satellites, not 40,000.

Secondly it is physically impossible to launch even 7000 satellites within a few months, even for SpaceX. The satellites do not exist and would need to be built which takes over a year at a minimum. Europe launches rockets into space a couple times a year and you can only launch around a dozen or two satellites per launch. That means just to reach 7000 satellites, assuming 20 per launch and a generous 10 launches per year is over 3.5 years to launch all those satellites.

Edit: The problem appears to be with the low quality terminology.

It is using the word "satellites" to refer to ground terminals. Ground terminals are not "satellites".

It is still incorrect however as Eutelsat doesn't have the bandwidth required to serve what SpaceX is providing to Ukraine. They can provide a backup, but it will be significantly degraded versus what Ukraine already uses.
Speaking as a European now. I give Ukraine money via taxes and occasional donations. Ukraine repays me many times over by their blood, sweat, and tears to keep Europe free and democratic. This is an easy and cheap trade for me, and I could/should probably pay them even more for what they give in return.
You can get a ZIP of OGGs if you want. Those will last as least as long as a 2005 DVD rip from Pirate Bay. Feels good.

(You can also stream through their site and app, and I think they have all sorts of social features... but you can ignore the hell out of it and just get tunes for money. Really one of my top 5 sites, Bandcamp, though I wish they were still independent.)
Eutelsat already has global coverage. So coverage is also the wrong word to use.
Not all brain stimulation is the same. Just from the example you brought up: books vs video games, a book has a very different pace than a game, it's even self-paced, you are in control of reading a passage and pondering about it. It gives time for reflection, it gives time to be read again if it tickled your brain in a funny way, in this process there's a different way of insight.

A video game has a different pace, different games have very different pace, some will give you a similar experience allowing you to stop and wonder, others will tumble you around frantically.

Books are much better to foster deeper introspection, there's a reason why it's the chosen medium for explaining ideas in detail.

I think you are considering all of this in a very reductive dimension, it's not a line gradient from 0-100, it's a whole plane to be analysed with different axes.
Ooh, those simplified news sites/newsletters sound great, I'll have to see if I can find something similar for Norwegian!
Every second, more than 100 people add ‘reddit’ to their Google searches. Reddit Pro helps your business show up where people are searching for answers to problems you can solve.

What a line. Reddit is well known of its position, and I am often one of those 100. Will this cease to be if they push further monetisation? Probably, if a good enough competitor, with good enough of a culture can stand up. Until then, not one other social network can replicate this effect.

Reddit killed forums, perhaps forums could kill Reddit now?
Same here, I live in the UK and I will not renew my membership. I have about 1.5 T worth of photos store for "free" on Amazon Photos and it was an absolute pain to reclaim possession of those files but, now that I am nearly done, I think it is time to spend locally and stop funnelling money to big tech for a false sense of convenience.
Uhm, we can expect close to 8 FP32 TFLOPS from the CPUs alone on the M3 Ultra. It comes with 4 tensor engines (AMX) each capable of about 2 TFLOPs.

M3 Max GPU benchmarks around 14 TFLOPs, so the Ultra should score around 28 TFLOPs.

Double the numbers for FP16.

They’re not lying you’re just not reading. They’re talking about terminals on the ground.
They're fighting to keeping themselves free. My country's and NATO's defense is what's keeping me free. Any additional assistance from my tax money to Ukraine (which I agree with) is entirely optional and should be repaid.
Yup, we could argue that it's not even targeted towards power users. It's just a total bloat of useless shit and a ton of Microsoft-controlled settings and features all over your OS.
The promotions/ads and tracking that happens with every other screen on the OS just make it look very cheap and unprofessional. It's so stupid that Microsoft could not come up with a developer-focused version of Windows meant for Enterprises, with all the bloat that's targeted for other things just removed.
Benchmarks look good. I tried this with a PDF that already has accurate PDF embedded just with new lines making pdftotext fail, and it was accurate for the text it found, but missed entire pages
Since taxation is not legally theft, I assume you are talking philosophically. And philosophically I'm saying that the notions of taxes and government are prior to property, and that the notion of property is a limited privilege that some governments grant to select people under its aegis (see also: certain serfs and slaves, who are not afforded the same privilege; they never had the opportunity that someone gave them a contract that paid them in property). It is absurd to say that when what gave you your monopoly over "your things" wants to limit the extent of its graciousness, that that is theft; rather it is a limitation of their charity.

In fact, many historical nations' main function is seemingly to define and protect property (especially land) of a select few privileged people.

There are places in the world that you can go to where sovereign violence does not reach and you don't have to pay tax, but lacking the organization afforded by a modern government is typically not what many people regard as a happy existence.
So is it about learning discrete logic to solve a problem rather than have whole modern CPU with all its abstraction to solve the given problem?

I'm selling a one-time payment lifetime license desktop software and way too many potential customers either

- think it's a subscription (q: is it monthly or yearly subscription?),

- would prefer it be a subscription (q: I don't want to pay a full price of I don't know if I will use it for life),

- or sometimes demand a subscription so that they can try the full functionality out without paying the full price

And then there are those who pay one-time and are angry they don't get all newest upgrades for free.

My next product will be a subscription for sure.
If they put it, and it's subpar, I write off the product.

Dramatic fall in London’s levels of deadly pollutants after Ulez expansion

People in London have been breathing significantly cleaner air since the expansion of the ultra low emission zone (Ulez), a study has found.

Levels of deadly pollutants that are linked to a wide range of health problems – from cancer to impaired lung development, heart attacks to premature births – have dropped, with some of the biggest improvements coming in the capital’s most deprived areas.

> The reason why Eutelsat stock is increasing is because investors think that Europe is going to go nuts with "buy European" in the military space which would allow them to sell their services at inflated pricing as it's no longer a fair market between OneWeb and Starlink.

I cannot follow. Where did this happen? Isn't it the US that is not offering Starlink anymore? And did Eutelsat increase prices or did their competition change TOS? This is a form of victim blaming.
Judging by the logs (user agents really) right now in the submission, it's hard to tell if the requests were actually for the domain (since the request headers aren't included) or just for the IP.
Kind of insane that the right-click menu took about 2 seconds to show up after right-clicking on the desktop. I don't know if it was ever fixed, but that was my impression after trying to understand Windows 10.

If we ignore the societal grudge held against its owner, this is not much out of the ordinary, right? SpaceX's usual experiments go along the lines of doing it once or twice in the right way, then pushing the limits as far as possible, to find what those are.

You might have a problem with this approach - the waste is large, the environmental impacts terrible. But they got to where they are exactly by this process. See articles such as SpaceX Launched Over 80% of All Orbital Payload Mass in Q1 2023 (https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2023/05/spacex-launched-over-8...)

Europe could stand to learn a thing or two. We still do our launches in secret, often not telling a public that there will be a launch until the satellites are already in space.

Interesting how he mentioned prime video, but only because of his dislike of one particular show.

I dumped prime when they added adverts.

Comments mention The Expanse, and they're right. I'm currently watching it, on Blueray. It's not the price I find objectional, it's the adverts.

I'm not sure if you meant to cite that source, it has nothing to do with the hallucination rate you state in your post.
Some people only see today, others look forward. When people say Ukraine is fighting for European democracy and freedom, it's about what happens after Ukraine if they fall.
They are fighting the only country that exists which poses a threat to Europe. If they defeat that country we all benefit.
With humans, it has been shown that reasoning processes for different aspects of human behavior are completely distinct from verbalization, they work fully autonomous, and the (inner) verbalization comes afterwards.

For LLMs, the tokens (i.e. words) are what the weights are based on, as there isn't other input into them.
There's a stark difference between voting to change your countries foreign policy and an enemy state interference in the affairs in the country.

The existing financial system is one where the money supply is controlled by private bankers. Money is created by banks when they issue loans (mostly mortgages) and destroyed when people pay the loans back. When a bank issues a mortgage to a first time buyer of, say, 300,000 credits, that 300k is brand new money injected into the system. The loan will be slowly paid off, but over the span of maybe 30 years that single loan will contribute on average 150k of money in the system. Almost all of the money in the system is just people's loans they haven't paid back yet. If the banks issue more loans, the money supply increases, if they issue fewer it decreases.

This sounds stupid and most people usually think "there must be something more to it, but I don't understand". Well, there isn't. Money is just made up numbers that we use to do accounting. The only thing that is real is physical (houses, food, minerals, energy etc.)

To attempt to reign in the stupidity, governments have created layers upon layers of regulation to the extent that much of finance is basically working out how to keep legally creaming off the top of the money supply. They play silly games with each other where they trade bits of paper until one of them is left holding the bag. The trouble is the silly games end up affecting everyone else because we actually use this money to do real finance, like paying for food and shelter, insurance, savings etc.

Read up on the 2008 financial crisis. There's a very entertaining book and subsequent film called The Big Short which is highly recommended. Bitcoin was started as a direct response to the events that played out around 2008.
Yeah, most likely. It is awful.

Good, I have given up a long time ago, I was around 13 years old when I installed my first Linux distribution and I am fine with it ever since.

You are completely right, my bad! Fixed the source now.
Assuming one isn't interested in their fight for freedom: they are paying for this in blood. Ukraine is dismantling Europe's only local threat, and the oldest geopolitical rival of the US. They have already destroyed most of Russia's Cold War arsenal of conventional weapons. If we put this in a bit of a cynical way, the situation as it stands is an extremely cheap deal both for Europe and the US.
The US has not stopped providing Starlink in any way. This is entirely based around fear that the US government may suddenly stop supplying Ukraine with Starlink connectivity. Also Eutelsat is not a victim. My point is that they're capitalizing on Europe's fears.

(And there is no historic precedent for Starlink to stop serving anyone either as they have never done so in the past.)

There hasn't been any threats to stop providing Ukraine with Starlink either. (There was a single news media source claiming this, but it was denied by SpaceX, Musk, Zelensky and Ukrainian officials.)
And here I am still waiting for AI-less search results.
No, but they will soon with Rocket Labs Neutron rocket.

Time will tell if moving Rocket Lab to the US was such a wise move.
I hope they slowly start shifting their launches to Europe.

That has been my experience since Windows 7, back then I used a mix of VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation, WSL makes it one less thing to install.

Windows 7 was my turning point, moving away from dual boot, something I have been doing since installing Slackware 2.0 on that 1995's summer.
Yeah some hobbyists just like to try new features. I remember when Windows Longhorn (pre Vista) was in beta and I would download the ISO and burn a DVD just to try out the latest transparency effects and the sidebar lol.

Though agent/asset is fairly clear. Trump isn't "someone who officially works for" the Russians.

I think it's good to try to be clear about Russian influence because they are so sneaky with it. Like with Brexit - the leave campaign was basically funded by the Russians but how it was done, probably is there was a businessman, Banks with a struggling business. He got befriended by the Russians and someone connected to them put tens of millions of investment into his business. He then funded leave and can claim it's all his UK sourced money. The actual money came through an opaque offshore trust in a secrecy enforcing tax haven so you can't prove it.

Probably Trump's dealings are similar - he has business issues which were sorted by Russian investment in an opaque way with favours down the line. Banks wife it seems by the way was an actual Russian agent ie recruited and paid salary by the Russian services.
That goes for pretty much anything. Is there any reason to believe OpenAI's dev agent will produce that much value? How much value does the typical human developer that costs $120k per year produce?

> "predict"

I must stress that the idea of "Science predicting facts" is a consolidated formula in Philosophy of Science.

And there has never been a doubt that prediction is probabilistic. But, see the example in in the parallel additional post about "dreaming and wake", the predicting activities of a junkie under psychedelics and that of a lucid thinker are substantially different.

> You've never memorized

You have the framework very very wrong: the point is not that we memorize, the point is that those LLMs don't check. When you state an idea, you are supposed to have checked it in other occasions before memorization.

Procedural operations, of which counting is just an example, can fail in those LLMs, which means they are simulating it instead of doing it, which suggests that they «seem to be guessing an output instead of actually checking to build the output», which makes them structurally untrustworthy, unreliable - broken by design.

Being black boxes (bad), they must be stress tested to see whether proper functioning is present or just simulated: the chief problem is not that they can't count, it is that they must be missing the roots of counting: procedural lucid thinking.

Check the parallel submission about the detective game ("Temporal Clue")*: an algorithm that cannot fully reason with a lucid world model, solving logic puzzles, is unreliable. The probabilistic nature of the architecture in this case is below the intelligent, as opposed to the sophistication of considering less probable unexpected branches of possibilities.
