I remember it sounding a lot cooler than that.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•I love when scientists mock each otherEnglish
2·14 days agoThey are pointing out in this article that the way that the problem is devised for the computer makes it basically already solved. The quantum computer get a list of all the factors and, after a bunch of hand waving, picks one. Something a vic20 an abacus and a dog can all do too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most embarrassing thing you’re willing to admit to online?English
1·22 days agoSome people would stand for that sort of thing but frankly I can’t imagine why…
Well maybe OpenAI has only made 0 dollars now. But, give it a few years and its sure to make at least $000,000,000,000.00.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Microsoft fixes broken Windows update days after vowing fewer broken updatesEnglish
3·1 month agoI think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.
AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.
AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite bit of childlore?English
1·2 months agoOccam’s razor probably points to having access to graph paper in school and connecting corners.
Why an S?
That all has to do with Cthulu as S is widely known as his favorite letter.
I think so, just a relatively famous copypasta.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?English
1·2 months agoGhosts, no way.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux

And
If a restaurant serves breakfast all day, that’s what you should order.

Also,
Dont cheap out on anything that keeps you off the ground. (Tires, shoes, mattress etc)
I’m not saying you have to do it but you can get the standard Microsoft fonts on Linux, they are just an extra download.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICEEnglish
63·3 months agoRemember kids, murder is against the law. So, if ICE tries to murder you like they did those 2 other people just say, “thats illegal”.
They will have no choice but to stop murdering you.
