Many browsers have a reading mode which simplifies out the excessive styling. But Firefox's reading mode (F9) loses the images too.

Your Apple Watch will be obsolete in five years and perhaps the whole product category obsolete in twenty. It doesn't help much that a leather strap could last centuries.

The speed limiting factor becomes your system bus. To go faster, you need a cache. And to have a cache, you need a way to describe the memory map, so it knows which addresses are plain RAM, plain ROM, bankswitchable memory, memory-mapped IO, memory shared with other hardware, etc...

You can run a TI83 or TI89 emulator on a phone, provided you have a way to obtain a ROM. TI has given out the firmware update files for free, don't know if they still do that or not.

Oh no! How will Texas Instruments continue to manufacture their Graphing Calculators?

Fair question. Testing it with nothing else around would determine for sure whether it's reacting against something nearby or whether it's breaking conservation of momentum.

Before spending money on that I'd insist on independent ground tests.

We have an overwhelming set of experiments and observations about momentum being conserved. But if someone can show a replicable exception someday, we'll have a huge overhaul to do.

My questions about this would include whether the inventor has given enough information for other people to build one. Then I'd look around to see if it's, by some unknown mechanism, reacting against something in the environment.

But American users, too, would keep their freedom to choose what apps to run (including TikTok) if they could just download their own software to the iPhone. It's only Apple's control-freakery that enables this interference by governments. In 2000 the idea of banning a piece of software would have seemed unenforceable. Even if you block its main download site, anyone could download a copy from somewhere else. We live in a much less free world now, and that's mainly thanks to the efforts of companies like Apple to strip users of control over their own computing devices.

Well, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Apple has spent years building a tightly controlled walled garden and blocking any way for users to choose for themselves what software to run on their device. Only very recently (in the EU) have regulators started to push for greater openness. But of course, if Apple creates a locked-down device with total control, authoritarian governments will want to take that control for themselves -- and Apple, "obeying local laws" has no way to refuse those demands.

If your iPhone allowed you to download and install your own software, and not just as some special concession in certain markets but as the normal way it works, then it would be much harder for China or other countries to block particular apps.

And yes, there are certainly arguments in favour of a walled garden, for banking apps or for movie playback with DRM or for corporate paranoia about employee devices. And arguments against it too. It's not my intention to open a big discussion on those right now, just to note that Apple is getting a taste of its own medicine.

Steam wants to install an old version of a game because it's a native Linux build rather than install a new version that's Windows-only yet fully compatible with Wine.

If someone steals money from the casino then gambles it all away, did the casino actually lose anything?

there is human selection on things that get posted. If humans don't like the look of something, they don't post it.

Judging by the AI-generated spam sites out there, this is not true at all.

I've read through the article several times, and still can't figure out what the intended act was, and what was instead done by accident. It says they "Opened the wrong file" when applying for a divorce. What's the mistake? Are they not trying to divorce?

Two completely different approaches to AI art:

* Just prompting text
* Actually doing work

For those that are actually doing work, you begin with a rough sketch (lines or a simple color image), then constrain the AI art generation to use your line art sketches.

Then you follow up by inpainting areas which look janky, rerolling the AI art RNG for small areas.

Everything that happens building an airframe should be a documented process. Calibrated torque wrenches are expected, jumping on things is not.
