Nah it will be divisible by 5. They don’t try very hard to hide the irregularities. There is a long history of oddly round results:

Yeah no I’m not putting an SLA on my GI tract. It will break when it wants to

Techbros: AI will become sentient and kill us all unless its done my way.

Reality: Skip the sentience part were already at the death bit.

Do the wizards also gas their bananas? The choice of fruit here implies that wizards are bound to the limitations of modern farming and container shipping. The common prevalence of bananas in the real world boils down to a pile of technical limitations on growing and importing fruit.

1. Unlike most other common grocery store fruits they are tropical. Which means that they can be grown under normal conditions year round. It also means they need to be imported which would normally make them expensive
2. Bannanas can be picked green, shipped refrigerated, and ripened under ethylene gas (tomatoes and apples might also be in this category). This enables bannanas to be transported by ordinary container ships rather than needing to be done by air. This also enables some amount of stockpiling. This cuts costs a lot such that bannanas can be cheaper than local produce unlike most other imported produce that needs to be flown in.

I’m going to be honest this sounds like it’s making fun of all the AI bros insisting we need to “pause” to consider the dangers of “superintelligent” AI while ignoring the actual problems.

The issue is the proprietary graphics API needs to be emulated. Also OS calls.

The 4090 has appreciated in value in spite of the 5090 and it’s own flammability

If you consider scraping a threat then yes plain HTML might as well be giving up. The advantage of new reddit for that is quite clear: they can collect a bunch of data about your browser before deciding if you are a bot and if the rest of the page should load. The embedded recaptcha call in the screenshots is a pretty good hint. I suspect blocking trackers on new reddit will break as soon as the scrapers move over.

As for why they don’t just kill old reddit: a significant chunk of their active posters use it and are attached to it. So if they kill it entirely they will lose content. Posters are of course logged in so this change is less likely to affect them.

Except the last arch news post is a month ago about virtualbox. I’ve blindly run pacman -Syu for years without issue
