behringer··on Bitwarden Dual License Model
That is legally dubious and doesn't help you when you don't want to self host

Public code is not open source.
behringer··on A city-building game in which the city would prefer you didn't
The only way to beat this game is to not play.

That's not what's happening here. They're making their app closed source with closed source features. Time to find a new provider.
behringer··on 15-year search for a band that charted once and vanished
I get that, but if you can't find it with a normal search on archive.org it's worth uploading for a dedicated page and a few details.

I'm setting up my own retro lab atm and would love to use this but the only way I'll ever find it is by coming back to this thread and hunting for it. I guess I'll upload it myself when I get to it.

behringer··on The value of not getting to the point (2015)
It could be. Or maybe she just wanted to enjoy his company for a while, fly around in the clouds until she had to make her final approach and make sure to stick the landing.

If Republicans started prosecuting crimes there'd be no republican politicians left.

Upload it anyway so we can find it easier!
behringer··on ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists' signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
Adding a fake credit may be intended and is fair use. The problem is redistributing it, which falls squarely on the computer operator.
behringer··on High Diesel Prices Bankrupted 16 Trucking Companies in Just 30 Days
Would be nice if it actually worked that way. Here in my state we've paid for the tollway 50 times over but we'll never get to stop paying a premium over and above the repairs.
behringer··on JetBrains reports revenue growth, net financial loss for 2025
To me it feels like the difference between crows and humans. Yes crows are smart, but what we really want are all inclusive models capable of human "thinking" . I guess we probably need a mix of both so we can give the crows the easy jobs freeing up resources.

The future is in AI. An IDE without AI integration is no longer a marketable product.

People are not going to stop using AI no matter what your concerns or feelings are.

Sounds like a great way to end up with tolls on all the roads. Or no access to the roads at all.

So sue the producer. Not fruity loops
behringer··on Google breaks promise to provide 10 years of updates to Chromebooks
Remind me in 10 years when the story breaks.

"reputation"
behringer··on U.S. postal inspectors shut down website selling counterfeit postage labels
They get away with it long enough until the day they go to federal prison involving fraud across state lines. Definitely would not want to try it.
behringer··on Has Violence Against Teachers Become Accepted by Society?
Yes. At this point they know what they're getting into, and if they don't it's because they don't pay attention.
behringer··on Jensen Huang says AI distillation is 'competition.'
As of right now it's true and court decisions on other intelligences creating output is considered public domain.

Acquiring and setting up a camera for the right shot takes some skill. That does not matter.

behringer··on Has Violence Against Teachers Become Accepted by Society?
If you're a teacher in the US, it's kind of on you at this point. There's no sane reason anyone should be teaching in the US without full support from the administration and full control over your curriculum, both of which the US does not give teachers.
behringer··on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Are Changing the Name of South Park to South America
Sarcasm wasn't designed for these people. They're simple people that will never allow themselves to be educated. Sarcasm is not for them, it's for the people around them.

You will never be able to stop the simple minded racist with your educational movie. He only consumes media that appeals to him. "Go woke go broke!" as they say. If you want to get through to him you need to appeal to his smarter friends and family. You can bring them together with sarcasm more than any other tool, because two people of opposing views can relate to the same media.

behringer··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
I stand corrected. For some reason I had written off this generation but it does look capable.
behringer··on Tailcat – Like netcat, but over Tailscale’s data plane
It's almost like it should run on an iPad out of the box.

Can't buy a decent modern Intel gpu to run AI on because of nividias "donation"
behringer··on What Happens When the Cost of Intelligence Drops 100x
I suppose that's true superficially, but how many of us utilize 100 percent of our CPU and GPU power.

AI datacenters, absolutely. People? Nah we probably use 10 percent for 90 percent of the time.

But when I need to compile MAME, oh boy is it nice having a fast CPU.

behringer··on What Happens When the Cost of Intelligence Drops 100x
Your computer may not feel faster than a 20 year old PC, but CPUs have gotten way, way faster.

Compare the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D to the AMD A12-9800, you go from 4 cores to 8, and you double the power consumption. But it's not twice as fast. It's 10 times faster. Depending on the exact metric, it could be as little as twice as fast or as much as 1000 times faster, depending on the exact operations.

On top of that memory throughput between DDR4 and DDR6 is about 2.5 times faster as well.

Oh and this isn't 20 years apart, this is 7 years apart. 20 years will see almost an exponentially larger gap even still.

behringer··on The Amazon tax
The amount of review spam is so high that for a good portion of products the reviews are useless.
behringer··on Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin
Of course the reasons weren't unreasonable, that's what made them great excuses for specifically blocking ublock origin.
behringer··on The TEMU-Fication of Software, Digital Goods and Services
It's not hardly an exploit when the taxpayer is the one benefiting
behringer··on Flock's CEO Faced Me After Its Cameras Led to My Wrongful Stop
use firefox and ublock origin. Use dns with ad blocking. You shouldn't see ads on mobile.
