Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.

    We've crossed it a long time ago. Out of the ~1.6 million russian men who took part/are taking part (dead, wounded, currently fighting) in the full scale invasion of Ukraine, how many were children in 2014 when the invasion started? While adults russians are clearly responsible, when are you fighting the russians you cannot put your head in the sand and wish away the fact that there is a ~65% chance a russian child will grow up as an open supporter of genocidal imperialism and another 20% chance (for a total 85%) that they will be supporters of imperialism but perhaps not open supporters of genocidal aims. P.S. Just an FYI, standard critiques about polling numbers are not relevant here, as these numbers exclude preference falsification (i.e. someone being afraid to state their true view), the "nominal" results are even higher.

    that's because phone makers were pumping out garbage chargers with bare minimum performance for every single phone, isn't it?

    This is not a typical home or office printer, very specialized.

    View -> User Interface -> Tabs It already exists but is nowhere near as good as MS Office (like everything with LO).

    The new Pebble watches look interesting. Relatively basic, but long battery life (they promise) and open-source operating system.

    Forgive me for not explaining better. Here are the terms potentially needing explanation. Provisioning in this case is initial system setup, the kind of stuff you would do manually after a fresh install, but usually implies a regimented and repeatable process. Virtual Machine (VM) snapshots are like a save state in a game, and are often used to reset a virtual machine to a particular known-working condition. Preboot Execution Environment (PXE, aka ‘network boot’) is a network adapter feature that lets you boot a physical machine from a hosted network image rather than the usual installation on locally attached storage. It’s probably tucked away in your BIOS settings, but many computers have the feature since it’s a common requirement in commercial deployments. As with the VM snapshot described above, a PXE image is typically a known-working state that resets on each boot. Non-virtualized means not using hardware virtualization, and I meant specifically not running inside a virtual machine. Local-only means without a network or just not booting from a network-hosted image. Telemetry refers to data collecting functionality. Most software has it. Windows has a lot. Telemetry isn’t necessarily bad since it can, for example, help reveal and resolve bugs and usability problems, but it is easily (and has often been) abused by data-hungry corporations like MS, so disabling it is an advisable precaution. MS = Microsoft OSS = Open Source Software Group policies are administrative settings in Windows that control standards (for stuff like security, power management, licensing, file system and settings access, etc.) for user groups on a machine or network. Most users stick with the defaults but you can edit these yourself for a greater degree of control. Docker lets you run software inside “containers” to isolate them from the rest of the environment, exposing and/or virtualizing just the resources they need to run, and Compose is a related tool for defining one or more of these containers, how they interact, etc. To my knowledge there is no one-to-one equivalent for Windows. Obviously, many of these concepts relate to IT work, as are the use-cases I had in mind, but the software is simple enough for the average user if you just pick one of the premade playbooks. (The Atlas playbook is popular among gamers, for example.) Edit: added explanations for docker and telemetry
