SomethingAwful forums have this for ages but also newspapers do, too. As do streaming services. Turns out youth don't have much to spend (nor to people generally outside of West), and it stops sockpuppets somewhat.

That's great, my previous post and this one are meant to ponder over not necessarily to convince. I believe it is the (partly justified) worry that the craftmanship is devalued, or a tragedy of the commons scenario (the energy industry

In my world, using Claude is not free as in beer. It might be in yours, but in mine it isn't. I can use LLMs locally and remotely but there's always a cost attached to it (privacy is also a cost). I feel like it is a painter who d

The countries which don't accept the current legal system have every interest to undermine its legal system by questioning it, spreading FUD, nitpicking on how it isn't perfect, playing the history card about colonies, and everyth

I think the timeline is roughly: SGI (90s), Nvidia gaming (with ATi and then AMD) eating that cake. Then cryptocurrency took off at the end '00s / start '10s, but if we are honest things like hashcat were also already happeni

We are after legal proof, not scientific proof. Science is too slow to stop genocide from occurring and hold those accountable. Netanyahu is wanted for warcrimes by ICC. Is he convicted? No, he is a suspect. Is he trying to avoid getting ar

In Belgium, you're not allowed to say you see traffic cameras on the highway. Result: people replace the word with something else: falling stars. So in Belgium on the radio they announce falling stars on highway E19 north of Antwerp. E

Interesting, in the first video Joshua mentions at 4m30s the user needs to have serious willpower to report every 5 min (ie. he feels the app is protection against a Sybil attack). I don't think this is the case. All you need is the fo

This is about the USA but here in The Netherlands the police force must apply the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity [2]. According to these articles, it also forms a basis for EU laws. Quoting: "The concept of proportional

Yes, an autistic person can train such, and learn to mask (autistic women are especially trained to mask). I suspect that is what happened here with Williams Syndrome, but that is merely my hypothesis. Are there brain scans such as MRI avai

2025, still cannot have taskbar on left or right side in Windows 11. I can do that on GNOME and macOS. And yes, with 21:9 it is very nice. With a vertical monitor or a 3:2 (Surface), not so much.

My post is the nuance, and as a buyer/user of GPD, Minisforum, and Xiaomi products I respectfully disagree. Chinese companies are not on par with Western ones. The QA, safety measures, hazard compliance, warranty, or even proper Engl

Hehe, that is just a Chinese company, isn't it? Say bye bye to warranty and support, repairability. I am not saying you shouldn't consider it but describing Framework merely as cool factor is the other extreme.

Yep, but LLMs being used as aid in writing blog posts is a relatively new phenomenon. I'm on the fence. IMO ivape provides a hypothesis, but brings it as fact. That isn't a good starting point for a discussion (though a common mis

Kolere (cholera), too. Do you want minors to use or learn such words? My answer to that question is a resounding 'no'. Although to be fair, not always is such a word harmful or toxic.
