Reagan and other racists succeeded in turning government benefits into a synonym for POC stealing from White Americans. It’s fine for a military defense contractor to go a few billion over budget for a weapons platform that barely works, bu

Hmm, in theory with enough compute anything is possible. But if LLMs keep getting better at the same rate it’s very possible they’ll find an exploit or something.

I agree. The author doesn’t understand advanced database concepts and demands others stop them. Stored procedures ensure consistency. You know to add an item using one proc call. Not 20 different SQL calls. Just say you hate SQL. I do. For

My favorite usage by FAR of LLMs is translating food menus. Even with handwritten Japanese Gemini has been flawless. Although I do wonder if something is not lost. I no longer stumble though my forgotten Hiragana… Back to the article, can o

Ok. What’s your solution then. Unless you can convince the average Japanese woman to have 3 kids and then hop in a time machine to do this 20 years ago, then immigration is the only option. Almost every advanced economy relies on low paid m

From the article. >While immigration has risen in previous years, foreigners only make up around 3% of the population and opposition to accepting more has grown. That 10 USD isn't for you , it's for an immigrant from a less aff

They are simple. The issue is companies love to fire QA people who should be the ones testing these. Microsoft says we don’t need no SDETs, our products can ship full of issues. What are the hostages, I mean customers going to do about it?

Makes sense, the legal system is pay to play. Bluesky is here anyway. Hell, you’re arguably on a Twitter alternative right now.

You mean a society that doesn’t give millions of people criminal records for what’s ultimately a health issue ? Probation still doesn’t work. You don’t have a whole lot of bootleggers now do you ? Regulate, tax, educate.

If Crack was legal today would you light up a pipe ? Maybe right after filing your taxes ? The most dangerous part of any illegal substance is the illegal economy existing to support it. Drug dealers generally can’t sue each other so they r

The War on Drugs only serves to give law enforcement unlimited extra constitutional powers. Even the bizarre murder of Central American fishermen is justified by someone somewhere having a dime bag or something. Who needs trials , or eviden

Something else will drop the ball guaranteed. Can you show me the workflow which uses this and has an iPhone as the bottleneck

Not to mention a whole lot of new vulnerabilities are bound to arise with all this new software. We really just need better regulations around data retention, especially ppi. Never going to happen though, no incentives exist to NOT sell my

What’s the point of having a phone then ? I personally buy mid range phones for around 400$ and then buy new after 2 years. Better than buying a 1200$ phone and expecting it to last 5 years

Screens generally break because you dropped the phone and you can take out have the components that way. But no matter what your battery is at 80 or 70 percent in 2 years. Power connectors are much harder to engineer to be replaced. Somethi

All you really need are easy to replace batteries. That’s the only part that will wear out within a reasonable lifecycle. Aside from FairPhone no one offers that

That’s basically what I’m thinking. Not only is this pointless, it’s outright mis information. Who gains anything from having an llm create an imaginary person ? I guess for pure entertainment, but this looks like it’s a historical website

The context of the article being in English has to matter here. I don't know how German works, I wouldn't expect Mr Beast to change how German kids speak. Not sure about Germany, but I think France has a government organization sp

Isn’t it a given we’re talking about the English speaking world? I’m sure there are tons of Chinese influencers I’ve never heard of. Mr Beast is well spoken which as far as I’m concerned makes him a reasonably ok influence. If I was a paren

I also don’t have any real motivation. I’d imagine if the CEO of Samsung offered me a 500k TC role on the condition I become fluent in Korean within 18 months I’d put in more effort.

Different stations carry different shows often from town to town. Mr Beast is a multinational phenomenon which can be viewed by anyone on earth , practically for free. Kids from Compton to Brompton are learning the exact same dialect. Plus

YouTube has had a larger effect imo. Kids from marginalized and affluent communities alike are now being raised on Mr. Beast. Mr Beast speak may become the universal dialect of the future. Like and subscribe replaces goodbye. Who am I to ju

Because you have no control over the future of the project. If Firefox or Chrome starts going down a route where they deprecate features you need you probably won't have the expertise to keep them going. Anyway modern browsers are too

by 999900000999 24d ago
Because otherwise you can git clone Firefox , change it's name and call it a new browser. I guess if we really get technical we could say you can fork, but need to independently implement updates going forward.

They work with tons of stability issues. You can’t both praise native Linux daws like Bitwig and then claim WINE is fine. Don’t get me wrong, I actually prefer Linux when I can use native applications and build frameworks.

If you sell it on Steam or the Mac App Store we’re talking about a minimum of 30% gone off top. Marketing costs money. Taxes, etc. Not everyone is going to pay the full 150$. Various discount programs would probably exist. Anyway, even if m

The issue is building a browser is not profitable by itself. You’d need to sell an annual subscription of 150$ to like 10 million people to get a browser that’s actually developed for users and not in some bizarre exploitive fashion.

Thanks for sharing. Everyone is speed running towards a future where you need a permit to write software. Try to run a binary that doesn’t have the right cert( or whatever it’s called on Windows) and you get a bunch of warnings. Even if And

Linux audio is great when it works. In my experience a good chunk of the time either Linux audio or Bluetooth is completely bonked out of the box
