Extremely informative post, how lucky that you took the time to write it.

The elusive Chocolate Starfish.

It figured out the issue with my front panel 3.5 audio jack not working when I plugged in headphones in my Mint desktop pc.

AI is decent at combing through all that documentation and forum posts and getting to a sensible approach.

I don’t think that’s where we’re failing.

It became very obvious, a couple of weeks into Israel’s retaliation, that this wasn’t ever about the Hamas attacks but about wiping out every single Palestinian from Gaza.

But the EU is still searching for a spine, the US condones it, and the rest of the world doesn’t really care enough.

And here we are, with dozens and dozens of innocent people being massacred every single day. It makes me sick to my stomach…

This isn’t hard, you’re just trying to make it to be.

Memcpy from a file to a screen buffer is as much a UI as pouring water in a pot is a soup.

Fake news. Remember, TACO.

Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.

Sweet summer child, you should have seen Europe at the turn of the century.

I’ve seen doctors pulling out a cigarette and start smoking in the middle of a ward. Any place you’d go at night - a cafe, a bar, a pub, a disco - and you’d nearly vomit at how your clothes smelled the next day.

Everything and everyone smelled like tobacco.

Nowadays? It’s paradise I tell you.

If unheeded, that step would then pave the way for new fines under the bloc’s Digital Markets Act, which can be as high as 5 per cent of average daily worldwide revenue per day of noncompliance.

Now that’s a proper fine. DO IT.

Exactly my question. More often than not, I’d wager on AI making the right call instead of the arrogant, power tripping blabbering dimwit who got to CEO because he’s got absolutely no scruples or morals and absolutely zero shame and will sacrifice anything for his goal of hoarding more wealth.

It probably has less hallucinations.

As always, it’s about money.

It comes from Musk being heavily hit in Trumps new “big beautiful” law that will dry up subsidies for Tesla EVs among other things.

Trump was then weighing federal contract cuts with Musk companies, Musk calling for impeachment and considering creating a 3rd political party…

It’s a juicy one, I hope it escalates horribly 🍿

Really cool way of picturing an IP dataframe!

Like if you’re dropping it at a post office and praying it’ll get to where you need it to, which makes it rather remarkable that it actually does get there.

I don’t know about associated punishments, but the highway code is clear.

Rule 267: […]Overtake only on the right.

Rule 268: Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake.

It goes on to clarify that, in heavy traffic, the left lane could be moving faster and that keeping up with the flow is OK.

You know what’s a needless lane change? When I come behind you and have to cross 2 lanes to overtake you, because you’re totally zoned out and never saw me coming, and then I have to move back 2 lanes again instead of 1.

MOVE RIGHT jackass. If changing lanes on an empty highway is too challenging for you, maybe you shouldn’t be driving on one.

The highway code, the official rules for road use in the UK, reads:

(General Rules, 160) “keep to the left, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise. The exceptions are when you want to overtake, turn right or pass parked vehicles or pedestrians in the road”

(Motorway lane disciple, rule 264): “Keep in the left lane unless overtaking. If you are overtaking, you should return to the left lane when it is safe to do so (see also Rules 267 and 268).”

Many other EU countries have the same rules. I wouldn’t know about America.

Right lane is for cruising.

Any lanes to the left are for overtaking, and you move back to the right after passing.

Of course it depends on how heavy the traffic is, but if you’re not willing to move faster than the cars on your right, CHANGE LANES.

People driving in the middle lane when there’s nobody on the right are a pet peeve of mine.

Edit: pasting this below, since people seem to be unaware of the actual rules.

Edit2: This is UK, flip left with right for almost every other country.

“This comparison appears to be unintentional”

I’m guessing that someone who figured out how to keep a high score box centered on screen using assembly will figure it out to do it with CSS.

The reverse, not so much…

Under the plans, imports of all Russian gas and liquefied natural gas to European Union member states will be banned by the end of 2027.

Taking their sweet time with this, huh…
