  • China’s dancing robots: how worried should we be?

    Jump

  • How concerned should I be when the documentation for complex devices coming out of China always seems to be so bad that no one except the people who designed them can program them anyway?

  • Featured

    Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2026, Week 08]

    Jump

  • Then the latest (and apparently last) episode of Gnosia,

    We're not actually sure about that. The nature of the show is such that it might easily be another fakeout. Currently, livechart is claiming there will be another episode, but has no airdate for it. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on.

  • [Discussion] The 20 Darkest Anime Series of All Time, Ranked

    Jump

  • Ergo Proxy is dark? Darker than, oh, Mahou Shoujo Site, Deadman Wonderland, Ajin, Promised Neverland, or any of a couple of dozen others? Someone needs to watch more anime.

    Now and Then, Here and There, on the other hand, deserves to be at the top of the list. That thing is brutal.

  • Ford tells students to not pick 'basket-weaving courses' in wake of OSAP cuts

    Jump

  • Probably because "physical education" is itself bullshit. It neither provides enough activity for the students who are already active and athletic, nor encourages the students who are not active to change their ways (in my experience, it does exactly the opposite). I was overjoyed to be able to drop it after my first year of high school.

  • KDE Responds to FUD Over Alleged systemd Mandate

    Jump

  • That's because someone took the time to pull out the minimum required interface code from systemd to make elogind after gnome made such a mess of things. It's a band-aid. More band-aids will no doubt be created to deal with this. It's just that the necessity is annoying.

  • Why all Animes are made in Japan?

    Jump

  • Technically those are donghua, not anime, though. Similar in style, different origin.

  • [Episode] Gnosia - Episode 18 discussion

    Jump

  • Hmmm. Livechart indicates that there will be an episode 19, but doesn't have an air date. Maybe we're in for a week's hiatus?

  • Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say

    Jump

  • Telemedicine: better than nothing, already used a fair amount in the more inaccessible parts of Canada (ideally in combination with a nursing station so there's someone with some training available to do things that absolutely need hands on location).

    AI medicine: likely worse than nothing, some people are going to get killed.

  • Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

    Jump

  • They do make hardware in most of those categories, actually, but they don't sell much of it direct to consumer in the West. And unfortunately, the way things are going, they're going to be able to get better prices for it from the AI-entranced idiots too.

  • What dating apps are really optimizing. Hint: it isn’t love

    Jump

  • They're really optimizing for the income of the people who make the apps. No surprise there.

  • Ukraine: Growing Support for Britain and Canada Among Ukrainians, Russia Still Most Hated Country, survey finds

    Jump

  • Well, the US government isn't openly and directly supporting Russia's invasion, and there's bound to be some goodwill left over from previous administrations. Plus, some individual Americans and US-based charities are probably still trying to be helpful. We can't be sure exactly what respondants to the poll took into account when answering it.

  • Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model

    Jump

  • And thus begins the three-legged race between imaged-based age verification and kids. (Prediction: the kids will win, but it will take the other side a looooong time to admit it.)

  • Is browser preference a personality flaw? AI job interview evaluation raises questions— AI said applicant's 'habitual' Chrome use could indicate a 'lack of adaptability' after screening interview

    Jump

  • LLMs need to have the same warnings attached as the old psychic hotlines: "Must be 18. For entertainment only."

    That being said, I'm not sure that this is any more ridiculous than an ad asking for ten years' experience with a piece of software that's only existed for three. HR departments have never had much contact with reality.

  • [Episode] Gnosia - Episode 17 discussion

    Jump

  • I mean, it's possible that the identity of the engineer isn't restricted if there are no gnosia aboard, but the instant test result seems a lot more sketchy. Unless Levi is infected or otherwise problematic in the loops where gnosia are present, and this is how things are supposed to work. (Or maybe it's a genuine writer-screw-up plothole.)

  • [Episode] Kaya-chan Isn't Scary • Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai - Episode 5 discussion

    Jump

  • So it's now been confirmed that there is something really wrong with Kaya-chan herself, not just with the unborn baby.

  • 10 dead, including suspect, in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

    Jump

  • Probably not a deliberate effort on the part of foreign actors or domestic terrorists, but I question whether this would have happened without examples from the US. Remember, the last school shooting of any sort in Canada was the Ecole Polytechnique—which took place before the likely perpetrator here was born.

  • ‘We feel kinda bad when a solo bird shows up’: Canada sees its first European robin – but how did it get there?

    Jump

  • Perhaps it was supposed to extend an invitation to join the EU, and got lost on the way to Ottawa.

  • Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond

    Jump

  • With the LLM pushers driving hardware prices through the roof, will any of us be able to afford these?

  • ML-LIB: Machine Learning Library Proposed For The Linux Kernel

    Jump

  • It isn't really so strange that they aren't used, if you think about it. Floating point is subject to fuzziness in the last several digits, and you can't guarantee that a given value is going to round the same way when you're dealing with multiple arches (or even multiple versions of what's nominally the same arch, since optimizations change over time). Undefined behaviour is nasty. Floating point is useful for many things, but I'd keep it out of a cross-platform system kernel unless I liked hard-to-diagnose bugs.
