@Viss @ridge VRAM? 16 MB RAM was '95 era, in '99 when I bought a Celeron 400 I went with 128 MB (and upgraded that to 256 MB quite quickly).

@0xabad1dea No, no, you don't understand! It's AI, it should learn on its own how to figure out the timezones!

fn main() {
    let i = 5;
    println!("{}", i-- --i)
}

This will output 10 because it's decrementing -5 from 5, in other words, 5 - (-5) → 5+5

if anyone wants to laugh at AI, a friend of mine googled "new york time" and got an "AI summary" claiming 7:14 pm (wildly wrong, it was about 2 pm) and then 40 minutes later I tried and also got 7:14 pm

I asked the question : Do you want a laptop with Copilot+?

1% said yes.
96% said (hell) no.
3% were not sure.

This is a great example of something being pushed that most really do not want.

Big Tech is very focused on winning the AI war. Problem is, that in their eagerness to do that, they focus just on what they want you to do, instead of what you want to do.

For the past two years on Techdirt we've referred to X as ExTwitter, which got across the point of what it was. But I'm now calling it X. Because Twitter is well and fully dead. X is purely a personal propaganda platform of Elon Musk that has nothing to do with what Twitter once was.

@erincandescent @nina_kali_nina Yeah, there was a spec, but I don't think anything ever implemented it.

@nina_kali_nina Is this an actual HDMI-alt mode over USB-C, or something proprietary? (I was under the impression that nothing ever implemented HDMI-alt, which is why it was dropped from USB-C spec).

@GregCocks or has read it but in a translation of a translation of a translation done by some idiot who doesn't know the difference between radiance and horns and the next thing you know Jews have horns (that is how the myth got started -- not sure how they extended Moses to all Jews though) and young women are virgins and miscarriages are early births (important because if read correctly it's clear fetuses aren't human).

and then they try to force their crappy translation on you!
