Or maybe the whole AI bubble is about to deflate as the inevitable copyright battles begin, and as more people turn against a technology that threatens to automate away interesting/creative jobs rather than mundane and repetitive ones.

What's the real use case of PWAs? They just seem like another way to attempt to shift users from the 'proper web' into a place where blocking ads is more difficult. Personally, I wish we could purge the vast majority of &#x27

Of course not, they can afford to put them in a different room or a dedicated server closet, to keep the noise away from where they work/sleep...

Because we've all felt the pain of power bills shooting up by 2-3x in a very short period of time, perhaps? The cost of running a PC 24/7 used to feel insignificant, but not so much any more. I've been running an old PC as a

If they did, the software would be fine. They'd just be held together with adhesives to make repair far harder than necessarily. And nobody would be able to sell spare parts.

And if they keep the border shut tight, aren't they complicit in Hamas's use of civilians as human shields?

Meanwhile, Egypt seems to get a free pass, minimal criticism for keeping its border locked down while being adjacent to a terrible conflict? They could at least let the most vulnerable/sick/injured flee.

It's not a total solution, but a jailed addict isn't breaking into your car, robbing people at knifepoint, or resorting to prostitution to fund their habit. And they should have much more limited in access to drugs. To help the ad

Yeah, I suppose the software to control the printer is the relatively straightforward bit, the complex part is the software that slices the model and converts it into an efficient set of G-code commands for the printer. (That and the softwa

3D printers have very little mechanical complexity. It's all in the software. If it wasn't for the computing power/software complexity required, hobbyist 3D printers could probably have been a thing in the 70s or 80s

It won't be long before AI moderators are a thing, and censoring wrongthink/dissent 24/7, far faster than a team of human moderators.

Streaming services have fragmented, increased prices, and fought back against account sharing at a bad time, too - as inflation and cost-of-living have skyrocketed. Need to save some money? - First thing to cut back on is entertainment-rela

There's no winning a war against dust. But people still spend a lot of time cleaning. The fight may not be winnable, but if you give up on the pushing back, things will get worse much faster.

They're far worse than a distraction, they enable everything from new forms of bullying to viewing of gore and porn. Then there's the issue of kids having a high-value gadget that's easily damaged and at risk of theft in scho

‘Diminishing his cultural relevance’ may have been the goal. Reducing his audience, censoring his most controversial past episodes and preventing certain conversations from happening in front of his large audience in future?

IMHO fake meat is less appealing than regular plant-based options. But if you want people to eat less meat, people need to stop pushing for full-on veganism. Taking away cheese, milk, and eggs is just way too much for many people. Focus on
