But current LLM chats are more aptly compared with a ouija board.
Absolutely not. Ouija has nothing in it which doesn't come from the players. LLM is based on its training data and random numbers. The two could not be more different.
Super Socket 7 lived about three years longer than it should have, but I saved a ton of money building computers on that platform.
Same here. I had a Cyrix 6x86 and a couple of different K6s including a K6/3+ before I went to Slot 1 and then Slot A, and it's been all AMD since...
F-150 people don't strike me as the type to accept anything really innovative like the lightning.
Ford wasn't counting on people switching from gas F-150s to the Lightning. They were counting on the F-150 name helping to sell their new product. This has essentially been effective, in that they sold about as many of those as they reasonably could have hoped to have done. People who bought them generally seem very happy with them, though not very many people were ever going to be in the market for that vehicle.
With that said, Ford should have parlayed that success into a lighter, cheaper EV pickup. Call it the F-100 Lightning. I'd guess they haven't been able to execute on the supply parts of the picture, and that's the real reason it hasn't happened. It took Tesla a while to get into the swing of having battery supply at a good cost. Ford simply isn't there yet, so they are using protectionism to delay the progress of the entire market in an effort to to catch up.
The best solution is replacement of their electronics and thus freedom from their entire software stack. There are mods for a number of printers for doing this. I for one have a FlashForge Adventurer 5M and while it is hackable and they haven't done anything stupid to users yet, they do have horribly inadequate RAM (128MB!) so there's a project to replace all the electronics with a Pi and a common control board.
On occasion there have been commercial replacement boards for some printers. Biqu has made some for a couple of Bambu models.
I like manual transmissions because I tend to drive older cars. I could buy a newer car, I have a job and money in the bank, but then I would have less money in the bank in case of an emergency. When you have a problem with an automatic transmission, it tends to be expensive. Most of the time when you have a problem with a manual transmission, it's not even in the transmission. It's a bushing or a mount or the clutch.
Traditional automatic transmissions CAN be good, but most of them suck. CVTs CAN be good, but most of them are fragile. So manuals it is.
I'd rather own an EV, but it's not practical for me yet. That is, a used Leaf or i-MIEV literally cannot get me to work and back with their typical battery life, a better used EV would be out of my self-imposed budget, and I don't have a place to charge off-street anyway.
If I had to commute every day I might look at freeing up space in my driveway so that I could do that, right now there is an RV parked there, and it's quite expensive to store it someplace good. I had it in a place only $50/mo, but it was RIGHT on the water, I'm not trying to convert it into a pile of rust. I am only in office one day a week, and that currently costs me about $7/gal * 1 gallon * 2 directions = $14/week in fuel, or around $60/mo. $720/year is very doable. I also live in Northern California, in a county which has no spare capacity, so given my price per kWh there's not a lot of savings in an EV anyway.
Until something changes substantially, it makes a lot more sense for me to keep driving my current vehicle. Even if the engine asplode I could just get another one dropped in for a couple grand, there's TONS of them around.
We are not machines. We can't perfectly modulate a linear input to achieve what we want in every circumstance.
But this is nothing more than giving you a more complicated control to use to attempt to modulate the same linear output. Two inputs are better than one? Doubtful, it makes more sense to learn to operate the one input, or to improve the shaping of the one input to make it easier to do the same job with the single input.
It was economically a near-failure, and it was a commercial product, so that's how you measure its level of success.
They were late bringing it to market, so the performance was underwhelming, which is why it failed in the market. Few people will buy an underdog without a clear price advantage.
The K6 had that clear price advantage, and it and its variants were successful in the market. They sold a lot of units. It was very common to find them in laptops because they were cheap and relatively power efficient, especially once the K6/2+ came out.
You do want that MRI machine taking your pictures to run on a maintained kernel, do you?
That would be nice, but odds are it runs an unmaintained version of Windows, and there is no upgrade path — neither the drivers nor the software have been updated for a newer version. I've been spending a lot of time in hospitals and dentists' offices lately and virtually everything runs on Windows.
ICQ did also eventually pull permission from 3rd party clients, though I don't know that it's quite an apples-to-apples comparison because they were closed source to begin with and as far as I know never had to sue anyone to accomplish booting off everyone not using their official client.
I was using a third party client for ICQ long after anyone was bothering to use ICQ. I only stopped since nobody was contacting me that way, not because it became impossible to use ICQ with third party clients.
Some poor designs rely on firmware to enforce limits and prevent damage.
Literally all consumer level 3d printers can damage themselves to the point that they will need maintenance before they will work again and are protected only by firmware. End stops are soft, not hard, they do not require physical intervention to reset and if the firmware ignores them then you will strip belts or cogs at best.
Mustang and Capri were well-known in Europe.
Yes, but they were well known as belonging to a totally different class of car. You can't just say "well, it's an EV, so it's sporty for what it is" and then decide that means it makes sense to stamp it "Mustang". I mean, you can, but it would be a bad decision.
I can't wait for you to find out how much the size of a large body panel like a hood or roof changes when you're not even driving, just due to sunlight. We think of cars as big solid bodies, but they are anything but that. I've owned over 30 vehicles from every past era since the 1960s, and the C11 Versa punches way above its class. And everyone says the newer one is even better... as long as you don't get the CVT.
Now with that said, Nissan has discontinued the stick shift, so I wouldn't buy a new one... but who buys new cars anyway? Only people with too much money, and people who hate having it.
You must have a lot of spare time on your hands.
Says the guy simping on Slashdot for a 3d printing company built on FOSS making an attack on FOSS, for free.
"It works great locally" - Um, no it doesn't?
Printing to Bambu printers without the cloud, locally, doesn't work?
The open source client pretends, on those days through reverse engineering

Ultimately, it was okay then, because it was beneficial for the operators to have a larger network of users who can talk to each other. Does this dynamic apply here?
The study of non-linear physics is like the study of non-elephant biology.
