Not to mention AI assistants are really good at helping you solve problems on Linux. Yeah, I know, it's not the same as "knowing" a system when you just copy paste terminal output, but if it solves a problem and converts 1 mo

The takeaway is the same that's been there for thousands of years - do stuff together, in real life. Bonus points if the stuff you're doing is challenging.

Apparently (checked with AI), Hero 4 Black was the first camera with 30 fps 4k video and was released 12 years ago already (how time flies) Frankly, after 4k/30 and 1080p/60, there are strong diminishing returns, because most peop

Sounds like the story of Mozilla/Firefox on the software side. 25% and rising market share, wonderful extension ecosystem. Nope, gotta copy Chrome. With expected results.

As always, uneducated ignorant people make life hell for everyone else. In order for a democracy to function, you need people that are able to evaluate political promises as bullshit or not. If you believe nonsense from grifters, you get ei

AKA lying. No need to steelman dishonest small-time crooks and marketers from China. Also, it's not the voltage, but over-current that reduces overall produced energy. Typically the mAh is listed at some standard discharge rate, unless

The excess deaths from heat/cold are a rounding error compared to the demographic crisis in developed countries. People aren't getting together and having children at even replacement rate (2.1) The OECD developed countries popula

Maybe a bicycle. If you ride a bike long enough on US roads - you probably have a death wish. Given the gun ownership rates, I wouldn't be surprised if someone gets shot for doing obnoxious shit in a road rage incident.

Have you ever tried playing a sport in 32C and high humidity? It's 45 min break.

Exactly. AI can just give you the details like an encyclopedia article. You still have to know at a high level how something works and which article to look for. AI is just a more forgiving way to ask something, compared to the searches of

Aliexpress used to ship almost exclusively from China, so your package took 4-6 weeks in a best case scenario. The value prop of Amazon is (was?) getting your item fast (not cheapest anymore and certainly not highest quality).

It was very common in the 2012-2018 era. Batteries have gotten larger (less cycles) and better (sustain more cycles before losing capacity) since then. Also phones don't have the same sophisticated circuitry or devices as a car to keep

999/1000 times if you track the package, it was going ground on a freighter. That price is generally way too low to include air mail.

No wonder Amazon decided to basically create their own logistic chain. Fedex/UPS cost for a single package is roughly ~$13.95 (this was ~5 years ago when I was working in ecommerce) and even if Amazon was getting a huge discount from t

What's kind of an annoying side effect of this is that you have all this fancy new display tech, like quantum dot LED (marketing term, but w/e), or OLED, but it's all pointless because you're just watching it with crappy

They have to update the IOT version anyway, so might as well get some money off of regular users anyway by "extending" it.

That ship sailed long ago. I think it was around 32nm-22nm node when the marketing term started diverging from the physical feature size.

At least the article makes you be curious about what the prompt was. That's already better than people dismissing the entire thing.

If anyone uses a couple of these red flags to dismiss the entire article and the underlying idea, that says a lot more about them than the author.
