They must be planning on milking what value can be had from the web to which they used to be the entryway, and clash with OpenAI, MS and Apple over AI trained on curated datasets, to layer some semblance of a business model over it. And I s

The benefit being that you will still be able to use the things you purchased even if your licensor goes down or you are not in good standing with them, which is what people used to call "owning" software back in the day anyway.

But companies will merrily "prescribe" AI companions as _a_ treatment, not as a sole treatment, but having even less of an obligation, and not even an unenforced ethical code to act on behalf of the patient's best interests,

Instagram. I was completely fine using a well-taken-care-of iPhone 8 until Instagram's input boxes became unusably slow on it, now I have an iPhone 13. I'm guessing that there'll be a race to make more powerful AI assistants,

Mean of me to say, but you're just better off using Jupyter as a local notebook sandbox, for one, the relevant development Docker image does bundle Spark[1], making it more convenient to fire up, and more importantly, it's used wa

The hacker ethos is a pretty old concept that hasn't been written all that much about much since the early 2000s except by Paul Graham, and that's precisely the sort of "suit" association that the old hacker ethos antago

This one's pretty clean for Clojure code, due to the simplicity of the data model, in the most conventional sense, as the state of the program is just the word, the guesses, and the grid of colored characters for the guesses. External

Also, what about the converse? Corporations or governments doctoring images where they show undamaged and safe environments with happy people where there's a crisis they're trying to cover up, isn't it just as damaging as the

Wouldn't an authenticated linked list data structure be a very simple append-only database? That's the whole critique, as storage technologies they are very bare-bones, and they make trade offs that just don't come up organic

It comes down to how many of these offerings can deliver value worth $X/month to fund the multi-billion dollar ventures behind them, where companies find that they are willing to pay that $X per seat for it. There must be at least 6 ma

Chilean intelligence being the black hand behind the protestors rising up against a stolen election is pretty far fetched, South American countries haven't meddled to that level in one another since the XIX century, which was more of a

The thing is, that the absolute number of votes work out to give the announced percentage with 6 decimal digits, just as if they put "51.2%" on a calculator and worked backwards. The point is that they didn't actually round t

Yes, indeed, a lot of plants and fungi aren't edible until cooked, but that's a pretty direct and simple process from e.g. raw bean to whole bean in your stomach, which has a lot of nutritional value. Best case scenarios here are

Not super hot on replacing food crops for what's a raw material for frying oil, cattle feed and maybe protein bars, to be frank. It was kind of a bad thing in sci fi media when working class people were living off that kind of stuff ra

The more nightmarish thing about Clojure is realizing that, in truth, you have no idea what all these dicts you are passing around the terse, nil-punning functions of your codebase hold at any given time.

There's also the not all small factor that there was glam to Lisp. Early Internet discourse around programming was dominated by people who had ties to elite universities in the 1980s, who yearned for the times when the US Government wa

The correct term is "non-avian dinosaur" for the ones that died en masse, but making that point in the first place is already pretty pedantic, doing it with snark is just being annoying for the sake of being annoying.

You have to dig around a bit to see that this line has a plastic frame, what a waste of their old reputation to put this in the ThinkPad brand, but in truth it's not even deceiving anymore, it's damaged enough that few would trust
