There's a reason Windows went from 'MyComputer' to 'This PC'.


While it's possible they meant something nefarious, I think the goal was probably just to prevent confusion around shared computers. Such confusion might seem unlikely, but when your market is as big as Microsoft's even unlikely things happen all the time.


"Our PC"


That's essentially true for all of EU. If you've ever done integration with EU central services you know what I'm talking about.


Makes sense, the EU favors architecture astronauts over profitable technology.


>tweak QEMU for performance and passthrough Any guide you could link to that covers all of this? I would like to setup a very performant windows VM.

Note that it requires a second graphics card to work.


Or a single GPU that supports SR-IOV, but AFAIK no consumer-grade GPU provides it.


IIRC Intel iGPUs support it and I read somewhere that their dGPUs do as well, but I might be misremembering.


Well that's one big feature that would entice me to buy an intel gpu in the future


This is also the only reason I ever thought of buying an Intel GPU, but then I realized "Wait, if I am buying a new GPU I can just use my old GPU for host/passthrough. I don't need a new GPU that is roughtly as good as my current one just for SR-IOV, I'd want one at least much better than my current one" (RX 5600XT, not really top but it does its job)


Intel 11th generation (Tiger Lake) clients onward have Xe* iGPUs with SR-IOV.


One thing I'm missing when modeling FSM like this is different states having different set of constraints, even if only being concerned with nullity. It's a shame having to make the field optional just because you do not have the appropriate value in the initial state of the entity.


One thing I'm missing is pkcs11 API in browsers. This seems to not make sense to US devs from what I could see but if you're in EU you can probably commiserate.


Was just thinking the same. It's also nicely ironic. Also, given the replication crisis I wonder how many of these LLM research papers are actually worth a damn and how many are research paper equivalent of AI software grift.


Can we get a model that can work this out for us?


Hammer makes no attempt to appear human


The title could probably be extended to 'You'll regret using natural keys as primary keys' and it would be right in some ways. Personally, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably best to use both surrogate and natural keys. Surrogates (IDENTITYs, UUIDs what-have-you) as PK from a technical perspective and natural key as 'PK' from a business/data modeling perspective.


Somewhere along the way the wires in my brain have crossed and started associating the word 'content' with 'litter'. So a 'content creator' became 'litterer'. It made it make sense to me why the internet feels more and more awful. It's like a park being more and more covered with litter.


I could not agree more.

“Content” comes from a world where selling adverts is the primary business and the “content” is just used as a bait or lure to attract eyeballs. The quality of the “content” is a remote concern.


I wonder what the point of that sentence is - to get picked up by HN? Kinda like how any product or service even tangentially related to data suddenly has 'by the way also AI and stuff' added somewhere on their landing page. You don't see 'Developed using intellisense' used in READMEs.


You do see "sent from my iPhone"
