That's not politics, that's just being a good person/employee. Politics is when you try to look that way, no matter the cost. Often times, doing the good stuff and building credit for that takes a long time and the right en

I guess most people here use adblockers, i do too. But occasionally, i have to use the internet without one and i am absolutely shocked. Ads don't just show things, they forward you to websites that vibrate your phone and claim you won

I don't think this is true anymore. Facebook have gone so far down the 'algorithmic control' rabbit hole, it would most definitely be better if they weren't operating anymore. They destroy people that don't question

I sometimes feel like the second brain obsession is some kind of form of OCD/hoarding. Nothing can ever be lost or thrown away and needs to be filed somewhere because 'it might be useful' one day.

I don't think any of those actually do not sleep. They probably sleep less than normal and skimp on sleep, but i have a hard time believing that they actually do not sleep at all.

I think this is a somewhat short sighted perspective. It's not really augmenting, but replacing cognition. I see people starting to unlearn working by themselves rapidly and becoming dependant on GPT, making themselves quite useless in

But the point here is, if i gave you a guitar with a string more or less. Or a different shaped guitar, you could play it. If i give you a chess set with dwarf themed pieces and different colored squares, you could play immediately.

Which pretty much every line in it was written similarly somewhere else before, including an explanation and is somehow included in the massive data set it was trained on. So far i have asked the AI some novel questions and it came up with

How is this ending anyones hunger? As long as humans are steering the ship, the commodity will be limited to those that control it and they will make all the money. If anything, it has a big potential to cause more hunger.

Spinal cord injury implies that you were born with those senses and then abruptly lost them. In that case, all the processes and pathways in your brain are relying on and tied to those senses, so losing them might also disrupt or affect tho

This is actually pretty pointless. Since the "AI" doesn't actually know anything. For example the other day i asked ChatGPT about a problem i had with some generated code that didn't compile. It then told me about a sett

I don't think this is true. Comedy is often times leading you down a somewhat obvious train of thought and then surprisingly diverting in a completely unexpected direction. It's not that everyone in the audience knew exactly what

In my experience that then leads to the politics game. People will cling to those senior leaders and make themselves visible and important to be kept around and be validated and enabled.

The fragmentation was equally worse on the dev side. You couldn’t develop WP8 apps on Win7 and vice versa no WP7 apps on Win8. The same happened with Win8.1 and Win10. So you had 4 different phone OS completely incompatible. At the time I w

I think there are different types of 'caring'. Of course you can't care about everything and everyone. but you should have some things in life that you care about. Many people nowadays don't. Their job sucks and they don

That's a very good point. I know quite some people that have absolutely no interests. All they do is play games all day. No a specific game that they really like, but any game that offers enough busy work to distract for a month or two

Streaming services bid on the licenses and spent so much investor money that they have to charge this much and still not make a profit.

There would be a new little device that is a fidget spinner with a little gummy on the side as a finger replacement. Everyone would have one. :D

Happy is a strange term. I know a couple people that are deeply unhappy with their lives, but they are happily using some of the mentioned games and media to distract themselves from that fact all day. Then they go to bed and can't sle

Well, the definition literally says: 'a false, spoken statement about someone which damages that person's reputation, or the making of such a statement' I guess the distinction is important, because i could make a false state

Slander implies a false statement that caused damages.

I agree that ads are basically controlling most of the internet and public discourse now. Like you can't even use normal words in youtube videos anymore, because your video will be less visible/removed. On the other hand, there ar

But none of those things are easy. All cloud environments are fairly complex and kubernetes is not something that you just do in an afternoon. You need to learn about how it works, which takes about the same time as using 'simpler&#x

I think that has no bearing on the boredom factor. I love creative games, but each one will make me bored and burned out after a while. Then i take a break and do something else for a while and maybe the itch comes back later and i'll

This once again highlights how bad the ecosystem with 3rd party tools used for basic system maintenance in the MS environment is. And how much companies and admins rely/depend on those. I don't really understand why there are so m

I think AI actually mostly leads to the opposite. You no longer have to learn anything, you can just ask. I feel there are also a lot of urban myths about learning and the human brain out there. You hear it all the time everywhere: I’m too

Maybe they thought their friend wanted feedback, or something in return. In that case i would listen to all of it aswell, otherwise i can't give honest feedback.

This is the usual PR response from the ad industry. The web existed before ads and was funded by people that cared and were interested in something. Now it's funded by ad companies and those don't care about anything but sales and

It's a known fact that in many situations they already have both sides as customers and play them against each other. They absolutely have the power to move the chess pieces on both sides to guarantee an outcome.
