"Ads are inevitable." Not at all. They could even be prohibited by law, as evidenced by prohibitions of some ads being common in most jurisdictions and the Clean City Law of São Paulo. One of the grand old men of modern advertisin

Because then they'd likely have stfu and outperformed Intel, Nvidia and AMD, or at least one of them. They're burning more cash than pretty much anyone else and doesn't have anything public that looks like a matching revenue

Tried the hard nonogram, it was way too easy and annoying that I wasn't allowed to see if there are harder ones. I prefer Bicross RPG. https://smallandnearlysilent.com/bicross/rpg/

The usian 'frontier' "AI" corporations are involved in severe human rights abuses and war crimes. I'm not so sure the ideal should be to substitute for those.

I have yet to have such a moment. To me it is still just a compressed database. Though I am surprised at how these databases turn professionals into amateurs, like when Meta publishes some chatbot that can trivially be queried into sending

Right, and you seemed to imply that smartness can be measured in how many live copies of one's genes one manages to produce.

Are they still an XML heavy 'integration partner'? They were when I worked at a casino that used them.

How is it better? It's kind of weird to attribute those famines, or e.g. the Kazakh famine contemporary with the holodomor which was arguably worse but is less well known, to communism. Quick industrialisation would be a much better, t

Yeah, because to the capitalist starvation is not a bug, it's a feature. It's how you manage to keep up profits under competition and automation, by pressuring the cost of labour with the threat of misery. Almost fifty million peo

Deliberate starvation is more of a capitalist thing. It's not like China or communist parts of India have a big famine problem, while the US and their partners are causing famines in e.g. West Asia right now. Left wing policies actuall

'At this point, it mostly just comes across as adorable when Windows tries to push you to use Edge. Like "wow, they're still trying."' Among people who aren't nerds it is working. You'll see this in e.g. t

Looks to me like the US education system stopped teaching problem solving and let kids pass classes in math and whatnot by querying a database instead of learning how to figure things out. The fault is with people, some database provided by

'“Good code” means two things: it works, and it is written in a manner that allows another engineer to understand it and build upon it.' I disagree with this. Good code is easy to change, which is much harder to accomplish than co

Since a few years I find it hard to not associate to Julius Streicher at the mention of NYT.

I skimmed portions of the study but didn't manage to figure out whether this actually measures a preference for confident mediocrity.

It depends. If you're asking whether one could set up databases and generate new information from them that helps researchers, yeah, sure, you could do that. We've been doing it for a long time by now.

Right, you should never, ever, make yourself emotionally available to a prospective employer. They might seem friendly but they are not.

This does not mention either interpretation or hermeneutics. For a computer to function as a lawyer it would have to be able to perform interpretation. I would expect such an article to start there, or at least make some argument that concl

This is one of the factors that make working from home better for employers than being oxygen starved under some flourescent lamp. Doing some chores is good for thinking too, though historically it has been considered unmanly so we're

"[E]ven oxygen" is funny because it is absurdly reactive and will explode when given the opportunity, and way back when it destroyed pretty much all life on earth except the early cyanobacteria that produced it. Edit: And yeah, I

I had an intern that did this, it didn't help with learning software development but he thought it was a decent rubber duck in some other domains.

I don't know what typingmind is but Termux is very good at keeping the pace when the screen is turned off. If it's just a chat interface you could probably grab someone's weekend hack in your favourite language off the Intern

Water is poisonous in that too much of it will disrupt electrolyte balance and can be fatal. It's one of the risks with taking MDMA, there are some documented cases where people died from drinking too much water when rolling.

I prefer HTML over JSX, and AlpineJS is good enough. Sometimes it's nice to have a few web components. I've helped juniors learn React as part of their studies and when they then come to intern with me they become happier once the

Some of my friends who are really into keyboard nerding look at me funny but I've been on K400 Plus for like half a decade by now. It fits in a bag and costs like 30-40 bucks, and it has touchpad for webshit like Jira that can't b

This was a common issue when I consulted with bankruptcy lawyers and had to figure out what domain assets the company had. Commonly the representatives only knew about some of the domains and we found at least a few more. Same with third pa
