Exactly. This is like testing to see whether scaring someone with a spider cures hiccups but in order to keep it blind only showing them the spider when their back is turned.

This is particularly infuriating when you're trying to use google image search to find a gif to embed in an html frame that doesn't accept videos and all you get are gifs that turn out to be videos.

I really hate these "did you know that old thing + new trendy thing?!?!?!" articles. Yes, you can apply steganography to AI. Yes, you can use blockchain to secure grocery store coupons. Yes, you can train a neural network to opera

Everything is just slow, slow, slow. Gotta hunt around for the window border instead of seeing it. Gotta hut for the edges between buttons. Gotta hunt for where the title bar becomes the window content. Gotta try to scroll every list becaus

The problem with articles like these about new esoteric professions is you never know if it's a serious, growing industry or one weirdo who managed to get media attention.

Whether LLMs will be a base technology to AI, we should remember one thing: logically it's easier to convince a human that a program is sapient than to actually make a program sapient, and further, it's easier still to make a prog

Anytime you see something unnecessarily and deliberately non-specific in a headline it's always some alarmist bullshit. "Famous actor is arrested for drunk driving" and they had one role in TV twenty years ago. "This eve

I've done it with multiple free services a couple of years and I generally got more back with H&R Block's free page, so I use them now.

Why do Windows 10/11 windows look like such garbage compared to this? Now window borders are invisible and the title bar is just one single color instead of that nice fade.

Really a shame but can't say it's unexpected. For every incredible documentary video there were ten videos about some skateboarder who once appeared in the background of a music video or about how transgender tattoo artists are th

Different human ethnic groups have different dietary needs. Eating like a traditional Inuit would not go as well for, say, a Frankish man. https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/03/europeans-evolved-to...

There are many reasons to choose android over ios. Unfortunately Google seems bound and determined to destroy them. Half of them now require you to get a device with an unlocked bootloader and use root.

Ayep. Putting aside how totally, unnecessarily long this article was, trying to force slime molds to be relevant to the human condition is a ridiculous leap. Slime molds are incredibly cool. That doesn't mean they say anything about ho

I don't know what it's like currently, but when I stopped using Dell laptops a few years ago they wouldn't even boot if the battery was dead and you plugged in a third party charger or a charger with a busted data cable.

I wish someone would engineer some fast-growing crabs to make crab farming more viable.

Don't forget how Dell included/includes DRM in their laptop chargers to prevent customers from buying cheap aftermarket replacements. Of course the wire for the DRM functionality is as thin as possible and is always the first thin

Woof, lot of red flags on that page. Promo images have 3D-printed parts, the boots have totally pointless LED mood lighting the user can't even see with a headset on, and the only video on the page shows the boots not functioning for

Whether or not this is as good as brand-new software that managed the layout itself is debatable, and nobody will write that software anyway because they won't have users that have SSDs that let the database manage the disk in full.

The most likely explanation to me is that the author is just wrong in describing it that way and it's a much more massive debris disc slash protoplanetary disc.

Neurology is full of very uncomfortable facts. Here's one for you: there are patients who believe their arm is gone even though it's still there. When the doctor asks whose arm that is, they reply it must be someone else's. T
