I didn't mind him that much. He stands out more than people like Ensign Ro, or uh...hmm. I guess that speaks volumes.
It helped that he and Deanna showed up in Voyager. I don't want to knock therapy here, but I felt that she was effectively tolerating him as a decades-long patient at that point...
The tech blowout had little to do with Anthropic's filing.
The numbers from multiple companies show a high CapEx investment in a product that has yet to be proven as profitable as the very things it is hurting (i.e. ads). End of story.
Fluctuations. If the use of the GPU is steady state, I think you're right; the thermals would be consistent. However, the reality is oftentimes loads come and go, and the rise+fall+rise of temps can lead to structural problems due to thermal expansion. Micro fractures in solder, thermal paste degradation, sagging PCBs, etc.
I think you're overlooking a lot of what didn't make it. So many local ISPs, random delivery services, and online stores from that era are gone. They used the internet, even offered it, but often burned through capital without having anything to show for it.
I dunno. Scrolling around at 120+hz on web pages can be hard to let go. I have a few monitors around my home running at 120 or better, and it's painful to go back to 60hz sometimes.
Part of what I've loved about JetBrians tools has been the navigation and deep semantics for large code bases. Zed is pretty basic in that regard. My agents usually get what I need, but when they go off the rails, cleanup gets interesting.
But I'll admit to keep my skills from atrophying, there are some projects of mine I don't touch with AI.
I recall some Gameboy games actually took advantage of the slow response times for subtle effects. For example, in Metroid II, pausing the game results in a slow, subtle pulse of the whole screen. In reality, and emulators, the screen is just flashing pixels at such a rate that the transition of the old LCD naturally smoothes out the intensity over time.
"That sounds like a tough problem in your relationship right now. Would you like me to order another Crave cookie for you? There's a special right now on free delivery. What about renewing your subscription to aitherapynow.com?"
My first thought was 'regular expression'. I've also never heard of the classification of a 'special' file in *nix land either (at least as utility flags go).
To each their own. I personally find the visual aesthetic of Factorio to be very rough around the edges (literally and figuratively). I respect this is a design choice to help the entire simulation scale well. But I, personally, would never rank it's aesthetic above that of something like Skylines.
I'd settle for Chrome. I know Amazon, despite being "frupid" in so many ways, takes the time to address it. They had a whole framework too: submit url, get screenshot across multiple devices and sizes.
I would go as far as to say the museum was negligent (by their own admission) and lazy, assuming (rightly so) the judicial system would protect them. Wild stuff.
I think the part that stands out is how at least one court went out of its way to invent a new argument on behalf of the museum. I was surprised to learn this is actually somewhat common in French law. The court itself, at least with cases involving administrative actions, has every right to step in like this. It is not a neutral arbiter.
Remember when they decided the best UI experience was to give everything a vague abstract collection of shapes? Early 2010s or so. Couldn't tell a damn thing apart.
And it doesn't seem to render correctly on mobile. I hit this myself trying to vibe up a side project; it looked slick, but it took multiple prompts (and at least an uploaded screenshot or two) just to make it mobile friendly.
R.I.P. Living Computer Museum (yes I am aware of its formal name). They took such good care of the systems there, and basically everything could be played with. It's technically not the only museum like it around Seattle, but it was incredibly memorable.
