Oops

The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

"happiness science" that does not respect user setting for dark mode + having sticky banner on top is too much, way too much to take seriously

what is 900F?

Just a curiosity to play a bit

Let me fix the title: "WebVM is a wasm VM running in browser"

Nope. It does. No amount of mental acrobacy changes that.

I've read somewhere that half of googles datacenter energy consumption is ai. So I think the real numbers are probably somewhere else. Its not just about one query - its about everything that come with it, including production of hw including price manipulation (that means we [better say companies] have to produce more money [ie. make some more CO2] to even afford the hw in the first place) and soon also energy plants construction - and we can only hope thats not a coal one.

Also, there's that pesky training that is hugely expensive on electricity.

Oh dont get me wrong - there are good uses of neural networks, but the stuff that pushed so much is not that. An example of good one was nvidias sw (rtx voice) to clear up voice during calls, dunno if it exists or not.

Of course. At current trend its going to consume ridiculous amount of electricity for no good reason (and make some more CO2). Funny that 60W old school light bulb is bad bad bad, but 400W gfx card is ok and armies of 3kW servers to produce bs responses to queries are also ok. Consuming ridiculous kilowatts to produce even more bs video is also "no problemo". Hm. Poor artists, I can see why they're furious about this.

good

nix does not have haskells semantics

Is somewhere out there a non-rust version, please?

Quite a hilarious joke, hope no one takes this seriously

The cash limit now is like 5k euros. It sucks but the new cap is outrageous.

$300 is still $50 above what phone should cost. You cant change my mind.

This helps nothing and you started whining about it.

Yes. You install and run postgres.

Not sure what or who your comment serves, at all.

Operating out of thin air! No servers present at all!

Maybe you aren't target demographics or something else. I have no problem reading and understanding it. This is condensed, information rich text that I find way better than 15 pages pages of noncontent. I dont understand your point about headings - you mean headings-only text is more readable than bullets?

I'd ask differently - is there any reason to believe Tesla will become of the top provider of self driving software after years of lies, misleading and over promising? What exactly could be automated and do we really want it? How would you automate having a conversation with a driver when there is none? By employing some bs conversation bot? I don't feel like I'd enjoy it or want to use it at all. And, more importantly - where would the money go from using such service? To another "huge corporation" that already have shitloads of money? I'd rather use a human driven car knowing that driver gets payed instead of throwing money into black hole in foreign country.

webdevs and their managers should use these web "apps" on bad machine over VNC on a slow connection for a few months. these javascript hellpages are basically crime against humanity and do contribute a lot to e-waste, pollution and carbon dioxide emissions

I've never seen such four on clock face, it was always IV

ELI5 please

Yes, it's odd to me that everyone has to serve some random JS from some random ( to me very untrusted) third party cdn server. Why every single random site has to have like 8 different domains with random character variations and serve javascript from it. To me that seems completely bonkers, absolutely unstrustworthy and extremely lame, as if they have no actual money to do it like a normal person. Like FB serving stuff from facebook dor com but also from random, lame domain fbcdn AND also fbsbx (wtf is that???!?, i dont trust it at all). And thats on the "reasonable side", random wordpress site or eshop is a complete nightmare in this regard.

Thank you very much!! I too find any kind of smooth scrolling very off putting, and was looking for this fix for a long time.

Oh yes it is delivering. More than you can imagine.

Beware - a rant ahead:

We can thank mozilla mgmt for consistently making "great" decisions, with UX changes, making it worse and worse over time. Introducing "features" not many really need or want. And of course making it less and less configurable, taking away options from power users "for sake of users", which of course are long gone and not coming back. They pretty much alienated their user base with every release more infuriating than previous. I've "upgraded" laptop to one with 16G ram, only to find firefox consistently eating up all my ram to the point when it's either killed by OOM (speaking of which - in-kernel oom killer got enshitified so bad it takes 1.5h+ to decide what to kill, unless you spend days researching how to setup your system) or by other precautionary means. For past few months I'm launching this browser in memory-restricted cgroup, it gets 7gigs. And you know what? It gets killed about 15-25 times a day because it eats more. The ram upgrade did not help. At all. They even took away option to limit process count, so now it spawns whatever amount it wants. As if the browser was the only thing running on computer. This is the primary reason folks left. The browser got maddeningly bad in terms of resource usage, UI and configurability. The rest 2.2% users have to suffer this. I suspect this is not going to change at all and I feel there is strong ($500M+) incentive from google for stuff to not improve at all.

Can someone compare this to RawTherapee, pretty please?

And thats exactly why we buy cameras to do actual photos, not some random computational imagery.

Thank you, mercurial was obstacle (for me) all the time. Thanks for killing it.
