Systemd won’t make anything slower once the system is booted up, it’s barely doing anything.

Newpipe will probably be blocked as well if youtube is doing this. Honestly not sure why youtube hasn’t blocked yt-dlp and others already.

Japan’s maglev reached 603km/h. Is this really a record?

hard consciousness

free will

this is the only acceptable answer.

Google especially is working on multimodal models that do both language and image, audio, etc understanding in the same model. Their latest work, PaLM-E, demonstrates that learning in one domain (eg images) can indirectly benefit the model’s performance in other domains (eg text) without additional training in the other domain.

File your patents…but which ones are selling?

highly doubtful

Whonix is often a better choice, it has IMO the strongest protection against leaking data out via clearnet and really forces everything through tor. Theoretically, even malware on the whonix workstation VM can’t figure out your IP address.

I like it. Of course, as long as iOS is closed source, you can’t trust a thing it’s doing, but this could still prevent the sort of attack NSO group used. Wouldn’t trust it if you think you’re being targeted by the US government lol.

Mining on a GPU does tend to decrease its total lifespan but doesn’t significantly impact its performance in the meantime. But even a heavily used GPU will often last a long time.

The GPUs will probably mostly be resold, so aren’t completely wasted.

Also note you don’t need webtorrent to do this – qbittorrent and possibly other clients are perfectly capable as well! (in qbit, right click -> “preview file”). In my experience webtorrent is not the most robust client.

Ok, you can work 8 hours a day 5 days a week in most western countries.

Most phones do last 5 years. I’ve owned my pixel 3a for maybe 2 years but it’s still going really strong. Before that I used a moto G4 for 2-3 years, and I bought it off a friend who had used it for at least that long before me. The phones are fine; it’s more about people’s attitudes. It should not be normalized in our society to buy phones (or really anything expensive) so frequently.

It won’t. 95% of applications would be just fine with garbage collection, and the extra complexity of Rust’s memory model will make it so that current Javascript developers never use it. Go is more likely to win (but honestly, just a more lightweight JS runtime with a more lightweight UI framework would be fine by me)

I don’t think most electron developers are there because of Qt’s license. Qt and C++ are a pain in the ass compared to JS and modern web frameworks.

How about solving protein folding problems to develop new medical treatments, or running chemical simulations to come up with more climate-friendly industrial processes?

How is Apple anticompetitive? Apple makes less than 20% of computers and about a third of mobile devices. I.e., their competition is doing just fine.
