I thought it was funny that they posted information about the outage on the same domain that had the outage.

Apparently they use AI to read emails. So the future of email will be like phone support now, where you keep writing LIVE AGENT until you get a human responding.

So the advice isn't "put on the performance of validating", rather "find it in yourself to see legitimacy in the other person's situation so you can take interest and listen to them openly".

Yeah, emotions are how we perceive our organism (body as a whole) going into action to deal with something. They are the idiot lights on a car dash. You can put tape over them or say you ignore them, but the underlying process is still occu

> Around this age feelings get really really big. There is no concept of emotional regulation yet. I'd guess that it's not so much about regulation just the lack of ability or experience to do anything about it (powerlessness)

My theory is that all our modern junk doesn't necessarily cause depression, but it allows us to take on more chronic depression and other mental problems (distraction, dopamine hits, etc.) Like the way added safety features to cars jus

The community guidelines rejection is such BS. I've done thousands of Amazon reviews and get about 1% rejection rate, and it's always baffling as to the cause. You develop superstition over time over what is the cause. I avoid cer

You're supposed to report review manipulation offers to Amazon. Reviews are for the product itself, not the seller (in theory multiple sellers can offer the same product, but for alphabet soup brands that's never the case).

Reading linked article and comments like yours was an interesting trip. At first I took the post to be about a real post, then the Reddit post is a bot, then the replies are perhaps bots. Now I don't even know what's real of this

At least with AI you can ask it what it understands about the topic so you know what you can assume.

It sounds like they basically find part of a pseudo-random sequence that is closest to the desired data, then store the random seed and corrections (which are small so take less space).

QuickDraw's regions always impressed me. They could cover an arbitrary area, and most operations could be masked to a region. This was important for updating a window behind another efficiently, just mask to the visible portion and dra

The author presents arguments, with the evidence. If you're able to understand the argument, you can decide for yourself. Nothing else matters. As to why there are so many debunks, you'd have to ask the mainstream media why they&#

I don't buy anything with HFCS at US supermarkets. I get all sorts of prepared foods: bread, yogurt, crackers, sweets, cereals (and a lot of more basic things to make meals with).

Agreed, they just create needless visual activity. How about a page specify where the images appear, and leave it up to the browser to decide how to show them and load them? Is that too simple and workable?

The multitasking is something I like about smart home speakers. I can be asking it to turn the lights on/off or check the temperature, while doing other things physically and not interrupting them, often while walking through the room.

The infinite loops example doesn't make sense. If count and count2 are volatile, I don't see how the compiler could legally merge the loops. If they aren't volatile, it can merge the loops because the program can't tell

I often find myself relying on my "digital echoes" to piece together something I did, and when. It's useful to make up for one's lack of logging what they do.
