Doesn't say anything about citizenship though. There are plenty of US residents who are not citizens. And a lot of people abroad appear to use US billing address credit cards -- in my last company we had hundreds of people with the sa

Excellent points. It's also worth noting that many people don't wind up working in the field they studied at university. CS grads have probably been the exception in recent years, because the industry has been booming, but the tw

Hmmm. "Comforting haze" seems dubious. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and at least from the outside it seemed like a bad LSD trip that never ended. She didn't understand what was happening and was scared. Sample size of

I guess if it's on the inside of a water-cooling loop, you should be OK if the water is pure enough. I don't know how hard that "enough" would be, though.

Yup, agreed -- it's amazing how close they are getting! I was just wondering if there was some true frontier non-US model that I'd missed.

Thanks for the link -- I read that when it was published, then the other day I wanted to send it to someone but I'd forgotten where it was.

Which are not? There are Chinese models that are only months behind, which is impressive -- but they are still behind.

I have it running on a Proxmox VM. It basically just sends me summaries -- it reads a bunch of RSS feeds I pointed it to (news, tech, etc) and gives me a daily summary, along with an image of the day based on that. It also sends me recommen

Wait, that's it? Seven paragraphs, all short? Two quotes, one from some anonymous MS exec? Is the site sending some minimal version of the article to me because I'm using Brave, or is this the lowest-content article I've see

It's a bit of a double edged sword. As someone who smoked and found it impossible to quit for decades, I'm very happy to have been able to switch to (reuasable) vaping. It's probably added years to my life expectancy. OTOH th
