Most things branded as “AI” nowadays would have been what we called an algorithm a few short years ago.

Why do we need to try anything? This comes down to individualism versus collectivism. Besides, the logical consequence of the portion of my comment you highlighted is that the majority of GLP-1 patients will need to be on these drugs for

Which is no surprise to anybody with common sense, the data for discontinuing GLP-1s show exactly the intuitive outcome. Zero diet change, zero habit change for the vast majority of users. Weight loss is accomplished via biochemical tricks

Do you seriously think that you’re not in a minority of people taking GLP-1 drugs for IBS and not weight loss?

The pre-chopped coleslaw mix is like 3 bucks for a huge bag. 1 pound of pre-sliced frozen peppers I think is $2. Some of it depends on where you’re shopping, I’m sure this stuff would be 50-100% more at Whole Foods the next town over.

What is a “serious self hoster”? How many Docker containers do I need to be running on my Pi 5 to get into the club?

by jacobthesnakob 9mo ago
Yeah the complaints are fair. I stick to RPi OS for maximum compatibility. People have been crying for a Google Drive client for Linux for over a decade, but still have to set it up in rclone. I build out my server in Docker and I’ve been s

Maybe because I don’t do SWE for my job, but I have fun writing docker-compose files, troubleshooting them, and adding containers to my server. Then I understand how/why stuff works if it breaks, why would I want to hand that over to a

Pi’s are incredible little basic home servers but they can’t handle transcoding. Great option for places with very expensive electricity too.

My work WiFi blocked traffic to port 51820, the default WireGuard port. I was wondering why my VPN started failing to handshake one day. I changed my ports to 51821 that night and back in business. I checked our technology policy and there’

You still didn’t explain what this has to do with “ICE bounty hunters”, how this is used to specifically identify illegal immigrants, or why I should even care that illegal immigrants who broke the law by virtue of their presence here are

What’s your assertion, that the government is using images of people in public or various stores to target anybody black, brown, or other non-white humans? The man pictured stopped by ICE in the article is black. Are you claiming that facia

Major world governments, via the arm of the tech corpos. The intent is to make the internet as an "anonymous community square" for discussion and free speech essentially worthless.

I found in the subreddits related to my career and hobbies the discussions were pretty circular, there's a low level of basic knowledge but as soon as you rise above that and start dealing with nuance, the average user can't handl

The technology-as-entertainment approach is poison. Reddit is the worst of it; even the tech addicts that see themselves as intellectuals mostly can’t be bothered to read. The (intentional) lack of reading comprehension in order to misconst

You linked a macroeconomics paper. You’re asking for examples from microeconomics. Are you going to provide your example products or do you get off on disproportionately wasting other peoples’ time?

This is a very Reddit comment. You can move to Oklahoma and get a brand new construction house for under $300k. But you won’t, because you want to live within an hour or so of the same dozen major US cities everyone else wants to live in cl

Why are you putting the onus on the commenter you’re replying to, to show you examples that disprove the point of the article when you’re the one being a contrarian? TVs are super famous as the economic example of a good getting cheaper
