I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go

I mean, it kinda depends on your mental model. If you think the AC is “low” as in not running a lot you can turn it “up” so it’s making things colder.

Almost like the “Big Beautiful Bill’s” language wasn’t very well thought out.

I mean, why exclude this random subsection of work in the first place.

Valve didn’t make Fex, and while it’s a compatibility layer, that doesn’t mean it runs everything.

Just look at Proton and you can see after years (and focusing exclusively on games) it’s still not near 100%.

Dutch moving away from US based software companies to have more ownership of the digital infrastructure is pretty similar to locking down more of their hardware infrastructure.

And that was with two seconds of googling.

You seem to be posing this as if there are only two sides, and that the Dutch (and Europe in general) don’t have their own self interests.

Many policies lately from the EU have been pushing back on both US and Chinese interests.

Dependent on the US for what?

This reads like the Dutch are protecting Dutch interests. Given the Dutch companies are integral to developing top-tier chips, I suspect they are trying to protect that industry and keep it in their country.

Yeah, but both the Palestinian and Israeli side (assuming that’s the border on the right hand side) look worse for wear in the “after”. Most likely cause it’s wet vs dry season.

Seasons really change how things look, especially at that low of a resolution.

This is what I keep expecting, but there has been minimal pushback on all the horrible economic policies and somehow the economy is mostly shrugging it off.

I’m sure someone out there is running something on paper still, but that’s not how most things are run.

Additionally, unless people are legally required to do all exchanges on the public ledger (which seems highly unlikely), then you’d still end up with transactions not monitored on the public ledger.

I mean, we’re hundreds if not thousands of iterations into robotics. Hell, we’ve probably had tens if not hundreds of attempts to create humanoid robots.

This is just the current iteration of humanoid robots getting beaten up for not delivering on its promises.

How does a regular database not do that?

Either it’s tracked or its not, the medium for that tracking doesn’t really change much.

For your first question, I think the average person would benefit from a simple digital currency that let’s them exchange “cash” without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. Venmo, Zelle, etc. are all proof that normal people want easy ways to pay each other.

As for your second point, I’m not sure I follow. But I assume you’re implying that crypto is better because it isn’t tied to the state?

So I’ve been reading into stable coins a lot, because I don’t understand why anyone would care about them. And what I’ve come to realize is they are a benefit to two groups:

• Financial institutions: Stablecoins have fewer regulations and basically allow for things you can’t do with actual dollars/currency
• People with limited access to financial institutions (think poorer people and/or countries): With fewer regulations it’s easier for people to transact Stablecoins than dollars/currency

At the end of the day, it feels like a “true” digital currency would be the better solution, but everyones jumping on Stablecoins because they’re here now and less regulated.

I think there is potential in a more cash-like digital currency, but Stablecoins seem ripe to break in some unforseen way, especially given the current administration.

Edit: Edited to fix formatting.

They probably want that, but also at the same time, that would kill software development.

Usability.

Windows and Mac are both easier to use for the standard user.

I’m a technical person and even I struggle with what/how the hell I’m supposed to even install applications on Linux:

Should I download the binaries? Should I use snap/flatpak/etc? If I do one vs the other which is more up to date? If I can’t find it in the software store can I trust random online sites?

And that’s just finding applications. Most people don’t have hours of free time to read forums to understand how to fix something that broke (assuming the distro they choose even has a thread relating to the issue).

Yeah, I don’t know why this is so difficult. Can even have players that autoread the signature to tell you the source/etc.

Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.

Not sure how much I trust Trump, but yeah Mike Lee (who introduced the bill) is someone who just likes introducing bills. The fact no one else joined him means this article and conversation is about all he could expect to actually happen.
