When the talking heads on TV and the AI's writing "news" articles talk about unemployment they don't tend to mention the measure they're using. And it's almost always the best looking one, at least if they like

For the non-Americans, or just those not familiar with how numbers are massaged by the US government, this is NOT a measure of the people who are out of work. It's the number of people on government unemployment assistance / welfa

I ended up doing the same thing, eventually I had a menu which would boot a minimal DOS, one with all the bells and whistles, one for going straight to doss hell, another for Windows, games, etc. Cool that others independently arrived at th

I'm pro-gatekeeping, I was on the Internet before Eternal September and then later, when it became synonymous with web browsing.

Anybody else dislike the word huggingface? Also what is huggingface, why not just put these models up on Bittorrent? Whole thing weirds me out.

Actually, communism controls our own movie industry. Take the famous case of the remake of Red Dawn where they changed the antagonist from China to North Korea. That was done at the TOP levels, communist pressure on Obama, who then exerted

YAAAY! Many people have taken to blocking all Google Groups posters on Usenet, it's quite literally THE only remaining spam vector there.

Not really entrapment, just read your daily or even hourly updates to the terms of service. I spend much of the day trying to keep up with ToS changes.

It's worth noting that there's been some renewed activity in the Mac 68k port.

Doesn't the FAA basically work for Boeing because these two share revolving doors? I'm just not flying any more.

>Your honor, it's not important to define what an engineer is, or isn't. THIS IS AN EXPERT! In all honesty this doesn't help non-engineers larping as engineers. It just means, you have the right to present yourself as some

How would an artist not want a matte screen? You don't have an option either way. It's not about want, you simply can't obtain one in a laptop these days.

How do you figure it costs billions to run? Sounds like a crazy number. Millions, maybe.

Does this really matter? He fired something like tens of thousands of Twitter employees around the globe, he can keep the thing going as long as he likes. Advertisers are already crawling back.

Trackpoint is brilliant, you can leave your fingers on the home row. I don't see how anybody could use a trackpad after using a trackpoint for a couple days, which is all it takes to get used to one.

Artists, programmers, normal people. All kinds of people. Matte screen option was simply taken away, leaving these people with the choice of sticking to an old computer or monitor, or upgrading. I for one am content to keep my old laptop wi

Imagine there is some company making laptops and half the power nerds out there would rather run something 10+ years old. And then, further imagine that you could capture this entire market, if you simply slapped some ports, a good keyboard

This is why I have the quad-core T520. It runs nice and cool, and doesn't slow down even with the horrible code that comprises the "modern web."

I'm sure the government(s) have their own wake words too. Also how would anybody know? At this point you should assume anything with a mic is spying on you, because you're right. We long since left behind trust.

They're government supported, is my guess. There's no profit motive so everybody can do whatever they want.
