I won’t stand for this PowerShell superhero comic erasure.

It’s much less risky than it used to be. Journaling filesystems reduce the risk of filesystem corruption to near zero and are fairly ubiquitous now on non-removable media.

Also Misophonic and 100% agree.

All unnecessary sound bothers me. If you’re doing a thing that doesn’t need to make noise but choose to do so it’s going to annoy me. For whatever reason though chewing in particular drives me to madness.

I’ve argued for this before, both on Lemmy and elsewhere. Nice to see someone else with the same take.

Do you also get the impression that people who disagree with you almost always fail to understand the argument?

Discovery’s turbolifts was actually the thing that made me fully check out from taking the show even the slightest bit seriously.

I agree that it’s heartbreaking and sad, but not for the reasons you seem to be saying.

The fact that they were so desperate for connection that they imagined one with Chat GPT is the sad part. Not that it was taken from them.

They need help, or maybe just some friends. Not… whatever this was.

Back to work legislation ostensibly exists for situations where a strike compromises public safety or well-being. Healthcare workers or power plant operators or what have you.

You could argue that even this is too far and the employers involved should be the ones on the hook to do whatever is necessary to get things running, but the ad absurdum argument there is that it would effectively mean those employees have infinite bargaining power.

It definitely gets misapplied though, and this is certainly one such case.

I will happily enable and use it once doing so doesn’t break any of my connectivity.

I’m not managing an enterprise network, it’s just my home, but my ISP doesn’t support IPv6 so that’s one extra layer of complexity right off the hop. On top of that internal services switch which previously required no manual configuration just seem to randomly not work.

IPv6 is not going to see widespread adoption unless it can be implemented completely transparently for the end user, full stop.

Conceptual numeracy is a human thing. The universe absolutely cares about quantifiable physical properties which we represent as numbers.

In simplest terms, voiced sounds engage the vocal cords, unvoiced ones do not.

To compare more directly with what would be otherwise an identical syllable:

The “th” in “this” is voiced.

The “th” in “thistle” is not.

Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.

…what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?

I’m in exactly the same boat. Five linux machines in the house plus two windows gaming rigs, mine and my partners.

The New York Post being a single point of agreement is great.

It goes a layer further than that even. If the rate at which that growth is happening isn’t itself growing then investors start getting nervous.

Alberta seems to have missed that memo.

The use of language like “unaware” when people are discussing LLMs drives me crazy. LLMs aren’t “aware” of anything. They do not have a capacity for awareness in the first place.

People need to stop taking about them using terms that imply thought or consciousness, because it subtly feeds into the idea that they are capable of such.

Raising a question means what you think it does. Bringing up a question which is a natural consequence or follow-up to a previously stated point.

The original meaning of begging the question is quite different and is a form of circular argument where the premise of an argument already assumes its conclusion is correct.

Ktarians could have shorter gestation periods and the horns aren’t developed before both. Or a thicker skull deep they aren’t fully erupted. Or maybe Ktarians lay eggs.

There are definitely ways to run partial testing suites on modified code only. I feel like much of what you’re complaining about is an already solved problem.

It’s inconsistent. Canonically in most Trek warp 10 asymptotically approaches infinity, which is why you see a lot of nine-point-nine-something when really high speeds come up, but every now and then the writers forget and you’ll hear about exceeding warp 10.

You also have things like transwarp, quantum slipstream, or the proto-drive which operate on different principles and don’t follow the warp curve. Their equivalent warp factors would just involve stacking up ever more 9s after the decimal point, but their speeds aren’t typically expressed in terms of warp.
