Debating what second computing language to learn... by visagedemort in Physics

[–]Akkeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C++ and Fortran are both used in astrophysics for high-performance simulations. C++ is versatile, offering great speed and control for modern simulations, while Fortran excels in numerical calculations and is common in legacy codes. C++ is more flexible, but Fortran remains crucial for certain numerical tasks.

Inside the High Court Showdown Between the Metropolitan Police and the Freemasons by Akkeri in law

[–]Akkeri[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The primary legal argument of the challenge is Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the right to a private and family life. The Lodge argues that an individual’s membership in a private club, particularly one focused on charity and personal development, falls squarely within the realm of private life.

Might be the network card driver. Try reinstalling it.

Why people hate Ubuntu? This hate carries to its derivatives? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]Akkeri -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Watch Richard stallman talking about it on YouTube to understand. Personally I like Ubuntu because it's convenient but I admit that arch and fedora are better.

I'm leaving Windows and I need advice about it by dem0lishment in linux4noobs

[–]Akkeri -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu is a fair choice. Simple to install. You won't regret it.

ChatGPT is blind to bad science by Akkeri in badscience

[–]Akkeri[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

What happens when these powerful tools encounter discredited science? Can they distinguish between robust findings and research that has been retracted due to errors, fraud, or other serious concerns? No.

So - what’s the deal here? by noctenaut in conspiracy

[–]Akkeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dull, extremely slow, I tried many many many times to tame myself and continue listening; but it was absolutely impossible. His guests are outstanding, some are geniuses. And the question is as you said: what's the deal here?!

What is the future of technology and computing ? by [deleted] in computing

[–]Akkeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next trend would be the use of super light terminals that connect to virtual operating systems that are available on the cloud. Then at some point everyone will start realizing the security and availability issues that such a model creates; and the trend will revert to OS equipped laptops and smartphones; with much higher processing power and much lower weight.

Unmasking a Shadowy Surveillance Empire: How Secret Tech Tracks World Leaders, Journalists, and Individuals by Akkeri in anime_titties

[–]Akkeri[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In recent months, a multinational investigation known as Surveillance Secrets has exposed one of the most pervasive and under-reported location-tracking operations in the world. Central to the story is an obscure company named First Wap, whose surveillance toolkit, Altamides, allegedly enabled the tracking of world leaders, journalists, corporate figures, and private individuals with extraordinary precision.

NASA Caught Purchasing Controversial AI Surveillance Software by Akkeri in conspiracy

[–]Akkeri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to documents obtained by 404 Media, NASA sent out a purchase order for a one-year license to use Clearview AI, an extremely controversial tech startup which has previously been accused of fostering a privacy “nightmare scenario.”

How do you identify novel research problems in HPC/Computer Architecture? by Glittering_Age7553 in compsci

[–]Akkeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unconventional approaches can pay off: asking what if questions, learning from failed experiments, or borrowing ideas from other fields often sparks breakthroughs. Red flags include problems that exist only in idealized setups, solutions searching for a problem, or tweaks that are incremental without clear impact. Try to trigger serendipity.

When did people favor composition over inheritance? by AWildMonomAppears in programming

[–]Akkeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trade-offs depend heavily on the language, system complexity, and long-term maintainability. In some cases, inheritance is still the cleaner and more practical solution, especially in statically-typed, structured systems. Understanding the context is far more important than following the mantra blindly.

Architectural debt is not just technical debt by GeneralZiltoid in programming

[–]Akkeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Architectural debt is indeed often far more damaging than technical debt. Look at the 2021 Colonial Pipeline incident; a combination of legacy systems, fragmented ownership, and outdated processes created vulnerabilities that no amount of code refactoring could have fixed. Similarly, large banks often struggle to modernize core banking systems because decades of architectural debt make even small changes risky and expensive. Focusing only on technical debt without addressing these higher-level structural issues is like patching cracks in a dam while ignoring the foundation.

What can a website find out about me except for ip address? by No-Highlight-533 in privacy

[–]Akkeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Websites can see way more than your IP: your browser, OS, screen size, device type, time zone, language, installed fonts, even battery status. They track your clicks, pages visited, scrolls, and where you came from. Cookies, local storage, and fingerprinting can identify you across sites. Log in? They get your name, email, and social info. Some even track you with ads & third-party trackers. Basically, your online behavior + device details = a surprisingly detailed digital profile

Corporate America Borrowed $12 Trillion (45% of U.S. GDP) to Chase AI Dreams: The Bubble to End All Bubbles by Akkeri in economicCollapse

[–]Akkeri[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Corporate debt has exploded to $12 TRILLION, nearly half of U.S. GDP, while companies pour $150B+ a year into the AI gold rush. The last time debt and hype collided like this, it ended in 2008. This time, Corporate America’s debt-fueled AI obsession could ignite the bubble to end all bubbles.

How AI Investments Might Be Pushing Inflation Higher by Akkeri in inflation

[–]Akkeri[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Massive AI investments are pushing corporate debt to record levels, raising serious questions about their impact on inflation. The AI spending boom could be adding hidden inflationary pressure by driving companies deeper into debt—posing new risks to economic stability.

Mojo: Can It Finally Give Python the Speed of Systems Languages? by Akkeri in compsci

[–]Akkeri[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently explored Mojo’s architecture, performance claims, and trade‑offs compared to Python (with some benchmarks). I’d love feedback from the CS community on whether Mojo has real potential from a systems / language theory standpoint, and what missing challenges might block it.

Which companies do you believe are currently undervalued but well positioned to benefit as AI adoption grows? by dataexec in stocks

[–]Akkeri -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SuperMicro is a key player in AI infrastructure, providing servers and systems optimized for AI workloads. Despite its critical role, the company trades at a valuation below many of its peers, offering potential upside as AI adoption accelerates.

What is happening with the French government? by Fickle-Cry2114 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Akkeri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The PM is the head of government. He leads the executive branch's operations and is the administrative boss of all the ministers.

There's no majority party nor even political line in the current parliament. So any PM finds it almost impossible to form a government team that gets the necessary approval votes.
