James Allen, Brilliant Earth, Jared, Blue Nile, all of these vendors sell lab created diamonds openly and let you compare side by side. A diamond that’s $10k natural can be had for $1500 lab created without any scarcity.

> The way it works is incredibly wasteful of our limited resources You should try playing the game “workers and resources”; it’s a simcity like game, but based in the Soviet system of central planning, not capitalism. It will make you lo

You could look into EDID settings, lots of weird quirks around that spec.

This is some remnant of the stop killing games initiative no doubt. Bad for the industry as a whole, and piratesoftware didn’t deserve to be dragged for being against it, in spite of his other flaws.

Oh, it was written in a paper, must be correct then, no further investigation required just believe it at face value! No track record of academic dishonestly, and definitely no incentives to fudge the numbers.

It’s not sarcastic at all. Using AI to accomplish things and fill in your knowledge gaps is literally the whole point of it. People are downvoting and salty because they thought the value in the job was in memorizing esoteric APIs (it never

False! Labor is the most expensive input in creating software, not joules of energy. Using AI is far far cheaper than expecting workers to synthesize all knowledge themselves.

You are the worst kind of gatekeeper, then! A true reactionary who believes they are righteous for impeding others!

The same question can be applied to work without AI, so this isn’t a meaningful criticism

You can still do this! And AI will teach you that command far far faster than synthesizing it yourself.

> There's really not much of a difference there. Between being hired and being elected? There’s a massive difference and it’s not pedantic at all to point out the ridiculousness of a statement like “the president was hired”.

This is a bad faith comment. Both positions are an opinion.

That was not AT ALL what was implied and you know it. I too am shocked at the level of federal access that was afforded to these non-Americans that clearly also hold a disdain for the country.

If we are betting on which is an easier sale, $20-100 a month w/tech support included vs $5k-10k and a requirement for moderate technical ability, I would invest in the former not the latter being the proposition that drives the conver

The thing is, frontier model providers don’t take your feelings into account even a little bit. It’s totally irrelevant to the discussion about the service they can provide, because that service is predicated on access to high power GPU sli

I’ve never run into a program that manages to disregard as many UX best practices as Jdownloader. It has more maddening features than I can count. Even stuff like sorting a column by date doesn’t work how you would want it to, because it ap
