Remember: update early, update often - no matter how painful that sounds.

Not anymore! Supply chain attacks have become so common that it’s prudent to wait at least 7 days before updating to prevent installing malware from compromised update infrastructure.

You can’t interrupt Windows Update either. So, rock meets hard place?

Windows doesn’t sleep. Ever. Sleep is now just a nickname for Modern Standby, which is just running in low power mode doing a whole bunch of shit. The amount of times I come back to my laptop and it has gotten stuck at a reboot is just embarrassing. I dual-boot and have Grub, so whenever Windows tries to reboot itself it gets stuck.

People have gotten their laptops damaged because they thought they were sleeping and put them in a bag, when Windows decides to try to update itself while the fans are blocked inside the bad. Bam, heat damage.

Just enjoy it while it lasts. People have consistently estimated me 10 years younger than my real age for decades. Well, until now, since I’m getting some grey hairs.

Yes, but Trump only pretends to be rich

Yep. The bottom number is always divisible by 2

The bottom number is just how you write a single beat.

If the bottom is 2, you write a beat as a half-note (𝅗𝅥). If the bottom is 4, you write a beat as a quarter note (♩) If the bottom is 8, you write a beat as an eight note (♪)

But it all sounds the same way. A beat is still a beat. This just makes is easier to write certain rhythms.

For how music sounds, only the top number matters. If the top number is a 4 (like 4/4 or 4/8), then it sounds like this:

TA-ta-ta-ta TA-ta-ta-ta

A 3 on top (like a 3/4 waltz) sounds like:

TA-ta-ta TA-ta-ta TA-ta-ta

And a 2 on top (like 2/4 or 2/2) sounds like:

TA-ta TA-ta TA-ta TA-ta

Time signatures are not hard. The top number says how many beats in a measeure. It matters because the first beat of every measure gets a little emphasis. The bottom number is just a convenience for notation. If you have really fast music the you can write it as 2/2 instead of 2/4 and then you can write all the 16th notes as 8ths. Makes music easier to read. But thebsound is exactly the same.

Even the original 14 is horrible. Here it’s 9-10 hours per day max, with a cap of 56 hours per week.

I thought it was a sex cult? Or is that just the safety engineers

Waze is literally just Google Maps with different route settings.

Google Maps have gotten quite a lot worse over tgr last few years. I have tried various alternatives but none function properly. Live traffic routing is a big problem for alternatives. I have tried Magic Earth and Nunav but had to revert back to Google Maps in both cases.

If AI can effectively steal the work of others, and claim it as its own, then it undermines the practice of openness in science that has allowed for enormous progress for centuries.

Open source developers have been saying this for years, ever since the first ChatGPT was released. It was laundering open source code, claiming the work of others as it’s own, ignoring the license.

Funny thing: The only reason AI would know about Roko’s Basilisk is comments like yours that it trains on. If Roko just kept his trap shut then this wouldn’t have been an issue.

It’s not like he joined in the early startup days. Carmack knew (or could have known) full well what a shit company Meta is.

Me 5. Account over a decade old. Fuck Spez.

Whittling. Check out Dough Linker on Youtube.

I’m old(-ish). I got a Pixel 9 when they were new. I like the size but when typing I really wish I got the pro instead. The on-screen keyboard keys are just a tad too small for me. The older I get, the larger keyboard I need. I keep fat-fingering keys and either need to correct or rely on unpredictable auto-complete. The biggest pain is trying to accurately place the cursor where I want to make an edit . Fuck that shit. I always need to remove and retype half a word just to fix a single letter because I can’t get the fucking cursor where I want it.
