Do you really think the warranty justifies that price differential? A warranty only protects against manufacturers defects.

Unless they have a direct agreement with a credit card company, most payment providers will give one-size-fits-all blended rate about 2.7% per transaction, even if it's debit.

How does digital euro replace credit cards? That's basically the same as direct debit. It doesn't address the reason why I use credit cards. I use credit cards as a proxy for my bank accounts. I know that my issuing bank will prot

Burning memory for a pure memory/RAM service like memcached in today's environment is not going to work given the price of memory and especially for larger customers. Especially in cloud environments, it's going to be inordin

They might add it as a surcharge the way Ubiquiti is doing it. I recently bought a bunch of stuff and it all comes with a memory or tariff surcharge that is annoying but it's hard to argue it. Also we know that it's coming soon, t

I lived in Chinatown in Toronto (College and Spadina) and I saw a rat the size of a cat running around the inside of a Chinese supermarket around 2am when I was walking around at night during my university years. I also saw smaller rats and

Sorry but this page and site have the most obnoxious number of ads on almost any page I've ever seen. After reading a couple of paragraphs I closed the window, no content is worth subjecting myself to that many ads and trying to naviga

Investigating the disappearances or suspicious deaths of scientists with close ties to nuclear secrets isn't wrong. The problem is that there are real mysteries that are connected to a bunch of social media bullshit and more than half

I was forced to switch to Windows 11 despite promising myself that I would never do this. WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I INCREASE THE WIDTH OF THE TASKBAR? I have a 30" monitor, I can afford to have 3 or 4 rows of windows in my task bar. Bu

They blocked the Golden Gate Bridge which included ambulances, other emergency vehicles and thousands of people trying to get to work. I'm happy that the DA is throwing the book at them, I hope they bankrupt themselves trying to defend

> If you ask it to simplify something, it will make changes whether it needs to or not. This is false. You can prompt it to only make changes that will have a material effect on the performance. You can create performance tests and have

Then you add an agent that goes through the code and simplifies it. Before every sprint, you get the agent to simplify whatever it can without losing fidelity. It's really that simple.

We have been using one of the main AIs for fixing errors or bugs in our codebase. We started early and most of the suggestions were shitty and we would pass them around as jokes. We were trying to improve it, and a little over 1 year ago, i

The whole-word learning "revolution" was based on a lie and misunderstood science. It set back a generation of kids and made them feel dumb because of a stupid group of educators.

There's only one real answer. Give more money to schools and teachers so that classroom sizes are smaller and the children can be separated by learning ability and the lessons be catered towards them. That's it.

Most sane US companies will disallow use of cloud-based Chinese AI providers, because everything including code, data, PII, etc is being sent to them.

The first thing I would do with any sort of weird issue remotely associated with my brain is to get an MRI. I would pay for it out of pocket if my doctor denied it or said it was psychiatric. Trust no doctor 100%, especially when they dismi

is 51% good enough to reliably use? There's no world in which I use an AI agent where it gets even 15% of the code wrong, that's as bad a Tesla FSD where you need to pay attention to the road while engaging FSD. What's the po

OG SpaceX is growing at 7% YoY. That is not a business that commands a 150x revenue multiple. xAI is arguably shrinking. StarLink has a bunch of heavy lifting to do and unless it keeps growing 40% YoY for 10 years, law of large numbers be d

300B given its revenues would be a huge stretch. 780B is ridiculous. 1.5T is science fiction.

How did Meta security sign off on this "feature"? That is the biggest shock in my opinion.

You already could trade stocks algorithmically for decades. I don't see the value in letting the AI agent trade completely autonomously though. This feels like when everything became webified for no reason, or everyone added features l
