I consider ‘based’ an opposite of ‘sour’ or ‘acidic’. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.
Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.
I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?
No way! I’ve updated to Debian 13 two days ago, and I’ve got two (!) new lockscreen wallpapers, and you can even configure lockscreen to download picture of the day from Flickr or Bing. Also taskbar has rounded corners, which I’m ambivalent about.
10 GB storage for default installation, 4 GB storage for commandline-only installation, 403 GB storage if you install every Debian package under the sun.
AI coding tools are using the exact same backends as AI fiction writing tools, so it would hurt the fledgling vibe coder profession (which according to proper software developers should not be allowed to exist at all).
This means Trump can finally de-fund them
What’s the total human population again, 8 billion?
mcedit, because I’m not nerdy enough for vim.
It depends on how rich you are. CEOs have their own, reduced edition of the law.
Yeah, you could probably achieve 15% cooling efficiency with regular old nitrogen or methane instead of fluorocarbons.
Yup, because they are annoying, not because they do not work.
Pretty much every news site asks you to enable browser notifications.
No app needed. Tell me if it works on your phone.
Patreon app is literally their website. What does it do that the website does not? Notifications? Offline images? All of these can be done in your mobile browser.
But it’s very convenient! When you have a BSOD, you don’t need your core dumped, you simply unplug your DRAM+ and send it to Microsoft using paper mail.
It’s way less expensive for state-sponsored hackers to blackmail your country’s official to leak backdoor keys than try to break the unbreakable crypto using a nuclear-powered GPU farm.
Saving arbitrary metadata is the exact use case for pickle module, you just put it together with your numpy array into a tuple. jpeg format has support for storing metadata, but they are an afterthought like .mp3 tags, half of applications do not support them.
I can imagine multichannel jpeg to be used in photo editing software, so you can effortlessly create false-color plots of your infrared data, maybe even apply a beauty filter to your Eagle Nebula microwave scans.
What, pickle.dump your enormous Numpy array not good enough for you anymore? Not even fancy zlib.compress(pickle.dumps(enormousNumpyArray)) will satisfy you? Are you a scientist or a spectral data photographer?
That’s because the article that started the whole argument tried very hard to present an expected behavior for embedded chips as a security hole.
Should have used three spreadsheets. Excel tends to run slowly when a spreadsheet has more than a million cells in it.
Eh, Chinese manufacturers are also desperately trying to catch up with AI hype. In any case, we’ll see some new brands on the market, and it’s not a bad thing, and I would not spend my time worrying about giant rich corporations.
My actual worry is that once RAM prices go up, they won’t go down for quite some time. If we get another bubble after AI bubble pops, the prices may not decrease at all.
