I think it is a proposed solution to bit-rot, not to failing device blocks. As such, why not, but it's gonna degrade the writing space by 20% or something, no ?

More people do office work than ever before.

This story is so old it was the reason for Unix. Once the platform controls the essential business process, it owns the business. You work for them now, and all your aspirations are moot.

It's not like you can't use another model to validate the results you got with one model. That's a step you should be taking anyway. It's actually built into the system for test/dev of the agent and inference model itself. Active supervision, sandboxing and all that.

It seems so. Although Netcraft confirms it is (ahem) a rounding error.

Also UBI programs get you just enough to survive. Not to have an interesting life with projects, hobbies, etc... In other words, shut the fuck up or we are gonna starve you.

Well, if the US was a functioning country (or its predecessor), they would have hanged the crew of the White Lion in 1619 and freed its cargo of prisoners meant to be sold as slaves. It boggles the mind that this wasn't obvious, even at the time.

Oh shit, this reminds me I have written a lot of 32-bit software that will rollover in 2038. Fortunately I retire the year before that...

You sure it's a Windows problem and not a mouse+bluetooth problem ? I had one that I hated because it forgot to click or move sometimes (particularly tiny motions). USB mouse or bust for me.

Yes. I never left X11 because my tries with Wayland showed that remote desktop via ssh+vnc didn't work and I need that daily. Maybe it works now or there is some suitable replacement but I never bothered as I don't see what problem Wayland is trying to solve and I don't need a faster screen.

I remember when they introduced that. That was hilarious.

What would you expect the CCIA to say? Vibe code the replacement?

To this day I still haven't managed to improve my coding with AI.
When trying to do something I know nothing about, it just gives me standard boilerplate examples, but I could find them by myself just reading the doc.
When learning very obscure or uncommon protocols, it is no better than me.
When dealing with a large codebase (big makefile or cmake), you can't upload the whole thing to chatgpt, so how do you tell it to refactor something ? Maybe I'm showing my age but I don't get it. Maybe it works with the kernel because the entire code is publicly available, but for a private codebase ?

Yeah, well, about that... I just bought an oldish electric car, so my first thought was to go update the firmware(s). On the manufacturer's website it just says 'no longer supported' and doesn't even tell me what the last version numbers were. Damn lazy fucks.

Eh, now that's no way to talk. It's much better to keep them busy in a Math Dept than to institutionalize them !
