I mean, you can stick a USB hub on a port and have multiple devices connected to it…

I don’t know if it is Perchance this time, but in all seriousness, there must be some webpage or subreddit or something that’s sending Perchance users to the Threadiverse but not telling them about the Perchance communities or something.

Damn. I definitely made good use of that website.

It looks like one can’t get a 512GB Mac Studio until the end of the month, so right now, nobody does.

It was intentional not to include it. I don’t think that global warming likely poses an existential threat. It may impose high costs on humanity, greater than the benefit of burning fossil fuels, and thus be something that we want to avoid, but I don’t think that we’d likely put ourselves in a scenario where humanity doesn’t survive.

Existential threats are specifically those that end humanity’s existence.

And Trump had been right on the verge of getting that Nobel Peace Prize that he had his heart set on, too.

If this is Linux, I’m pretty sure that you can use RandR (or whatever Wayland’s analog is, if this is Wayland) to crop the visible area to whatever aspect ratio you want. Probably on Wayland the wlr-randr command can do it on wlroots-based compositors.

I’ve done so before on X11 with an HMD that extended into the edges of my visual field, where I wanted everything in the (crisp, clear) center.

It doesn’t look like the article as a whole is downloadable without an account, but from what is accessible:

The Commission identifies two threats as having extinction-potential:

• The malicious use of artificial intelligence (AI)
• Nuclear conflict

I think that it’s reasonably likely that by 2100, we will have at least two other potential candidates (if we aren’t there already):

• Engineered, self-replicating biological organisms that create pandemics or other situations problematic to human life (e.g. if we produced something like the Great Oxidation Event on a short timeframe). We are increasingly able to craft and modify life, and I would expect that we will explore all sorts of possibilities.
• Self-replicating nanomachines that do similar; something like the gray goo scenario.

In all cases other than nuclear conflict, I think that rapid replication that spirals out of control is the common factor that could render a risk existential.

I also do not think that the most-likely existential risk from AI comes from intentional, malicious use—the article is specifically identifying malicious use—but from an error coupled with a system that can expand massively and spin out of control. Something more like the paperclip maximizer scenario.

Decompilation tools aren’t new, though AI might lower the bar in various ways.

I don’t think that someone’s likely going to be able to successfully claim in courts that the decompiled work is free of copyright, as it’s a duplicate of the original (has substantial similarity) and directly replaces it; those are elements of infringement. A human can’t just sit down with a book and write a copy of it, word-by-word, and claim that they created the new book. They can read from a book and take influences from it, but not simply line-by-line copy it without infringing, and my expectation is that courts will probably treat an agentic AI doing so the same way as a human.

I think that it’s probably mostly impactful in terms of ability to help analyze and defeat DRM systems, something that is technically-impactful, but not legally-impactful. Some DRM systems may just not be practical any more.

Yeah, I’ve had two pairs of DT 770 Pros now, and they’re probably my favorite non-active-noise-cancelling headphones. Good passive isolation, comfortable, fairly light, durable.

I think that the cable used to be detachable and isn’t on current models, but my current model also cost significantly less, so…shrugs

If OP wants ANC headphones, though, which I assume he does if he’s looking at Momentum 4s, might not be what he wants.

Yeah, if you get the proprietary Android app, you can permanently turn that functionality off from an Android device. Took me ages to discover that. :-/

I don’t think that it’s a problem to have news-only communities. It’s easy enough to create communities that do do original content, and if people want that, then they can subscribe to it.

Honestly, my experience is that Steam’s recommendation systems are not great. The average user rating usually more-or-less concurs with my opinion. If something is rated Overwhelmingly Positive, I’ll generally like it. The “More Like This” thing has on rare occasions been useful, though usually human recommendations for similar games from searching Reddit or similar has given much better results. But things like the recommendations queue are just terrible. They never turn up anything that I like.

I’ve had a Momentum 4 and a WH-1000XM5.

I was not happy with the Momentum, and can’t recommend it. I initially had some kind of connectivity problems with Linux. Then, it had a tendency to l cut out, which I eventually discovered was a problem with the infrared sensor in one cup used to detect whether you’ve taken the hesdphones off. When it fogs up with condensed sweat, apparently not enough IR light gets through and it thinks that you’ve taken the headphones off. I disabled that feature with the Android app. Then some problem came up where when moved slightly, it would play back loud, high-frequency “squeaky” sounds. Some sort of problem with the noise-cancelling setup. Oh, and I had problems with bumping the side triggering touch controls.

The XM5 was fine for me when used as headphones—and better noise cancellation than the Momentum 4. But when used as a headset, sometimes, especially when resting my head against a chair, the other party would say that I suddenly became muffled.

I currently use it as headphones, but pair it with a USB lapel mic when I need a mic.
