I actually think this is cool. How is this different than sitting people down with a camera every day and asking for a new random story? we won't be around forever and documenting it is one way to keep memories alive in people's minds

I was surprised myself how engaged my family have been with the bot. And equipped with the knowledge of our family history, it is able to ask deeply informed follow up questions! I would recommend trying it!

Hmm I'm wondering how hard it would be to redo the old timey Microsoft jvm from the 90s for modern days....java > .net assembly runtime

Yeah I have this problem (?) too. They are just so neat. I also really like tiny laptops and recreations of classic computers.

Clockwork Pi if you haven't seen it. Beautiful little constructions.

These are awesome.

Weird comparison - The P4 was a major flop out of the gate (rambus anyone?) and at least by any good metric took three revisions (P4c - hypertheading) to make it come out where it should have ahead of its predecessor. The Pentium 3, before it that you are perhaps referring to was the peak of its era. So...it's going downhill right or what are you even saying?

If they limit the rate of speed it's technically limited which really makes me wonder how they legally can say these things. I guess it means in a lot of cases it's like Comcast where they also limit the data a month perhaps but dang.

They mean that they're not going to limit the total amount of data that you send/receive beyond the natural limit implied by the maximum rate.

When a movie subscription says unlimited movies, we know they're not suggesting that they can break the laws of time, just that they won't turn you away from a screening. It's pretty normal language, used to communicate no additional limit, which is relevant when compared to cell phone data plans (which are actually, in my opinion, fraudulent) that shunt you to a lower tier after a certain amount of usage.

In the language of marketing (in the USA at least) the word "unlimited" means "limited".

Power is then moved to whomever owns the most computer power and perhaps education

That's what it is now. Computing power is just a proxy for capital.

Here's where this can be awful - I have a few pieces of software that are identical to this. After a few years I switch machines out and can't reactivate them and I'm SOL.

OP here - for boringBar you can use the same license for your new machine. It would not be an issue. Keep in mind though boringBar on your previously activated device will stop working after 30 days if it exceeds the device limit on your license.

Maybe this is dumb but at the moment through windows (and WSL?) you get: rocm DirectML Vulkan OpenML?

I too am interested in these questions. also how do you deal with culling photos?

That was before websites were 40MB or more of garbage though so keep that in perspective. Also broadband here is supposedly 100mbps and giving more people access should drive cheaper Internet but also being America we have ISP monopoly by choice per city so I'm not sure any of the economics pans out.

Video is really where you feel sub-megabit connections limiting (youtube and social media). Sites not so much. But yes, it's a problem.
