That doesn’t solve brake and tire particles. Although…rail might solve those?

Can you really hold them responsible for book burning when they’re being compelled to do so by governmental laws? Seems like you should be pointing your finger at lawmakers, if anywhere.

Is anyone hitting caps without agents or API usage? Seems very difficult.

Probably a useful bookmark if you’re going on The Amazing Race. They always throw in a flag quiz toward the end.

.NET/.NET Core/.NET Framework migration is painful because of this. VS/VSCode is sometimes only possible with AI’s help.

There’s really no cause to raise a panic with lab-grown meat right around the corner. AI, FSD, electric cars, nuclear energy, and drones are eating up most of the VC money right now but lab-grown meat is waiting in the wings to take over in

Of all the myriad projects from Google, how is Flutter/Dart the one that survived the axe? I’m not saying I hate them - I think they’re both really neat - I just don’t understand why Google keeps these limping along with weak support a

I had a babysitter that worked through the WWP campaign with me and we enjoyed it. It really became more inventive than you’d expect a campaign like that to be. For example, you get the bow, infinite weapon firing per turn, and infinite amm

Someone on here had the neat idea of a “become” keyword replacing “return” when TCO is desired. I thought it was the obvious route forward and remain confused why I still haven’t seen it adopted.

How? Charge stadium ticket prices and jerseys at cost?

Same with D1 NCAAF athletes. They’re getting millions starting at age 18 from NIL. There’s just no way that’s healthy even if we all agree NIL was the morally correct path forward.

If you’re using feature flags because you’re scared of rolling back, then your CI/CD pipeline is probably too brittle or complicated.

+1 to this. Many of my engineer friends don’t use AI even in cases where it could clearly help them. Not out of any principles stance but because they just don’t understand that it could speed up their work. It doesn’t help that the adverti

I had no idea floccinaucihipilification was a real word. I saw it in a fake spelling bee for a commercial decades ago and assumed it was just a comically long fake word.

Windows Vista came out and everyone hated it. Microsoft ignored everyone and said, “You fool users just don’t understand what makes a good operating system.” Snow Leopard was the next major OS release and it just worked the way people expec

We support them but they don’t need us. Iran would crumble tomorrow without China. Also, Likud Israel might be gone after this year’s October election, whether we want it gone or not. Conversely, China acts as a virtual suzerain over Iran (

China is single-handedly propping up Iran, NK, and Russia financially. If you ahem removed the top 1000 leaders of the CCP tomorrow, those three countries wouldn’t be able to continue their population repression and the world would be an

Most of us are thankful our parents took care of us and do love them. I recognize that it’s not everyone but I think most kids don’t want to see their parents suffer.

by jimbob45 2mo ago
It’s not. If you have older parents today, you can do the math on what activities they’re doing and quickly determine that you’re never going to see a cent from them. My friends all report the same. I may sound salty but I’m not. I’ve spent

Unpopular opinion: baseball is not fun at all to play in organized leagues for children. Baseball is, however, the best pick-up game to play with ten friends, house rules, and improvised equipment. It's like how Twister is super fun to

While I agree, it’s hard to trust Google not to kill this off in the future. They’re not winning and the prospect of dumping their own for a partnership with another AI company isn’t out of the picture.

This is a joke, right? I can’t think of any league as blatantly corrupt as FIFA on any level.

No, there will always be the threat of teen pregnancy. Conversely, we could wipe out HIV permanently if enough public will across the world was directed toward it. I fully believe that HIV wouldn’t exist if PrEP had come out in the 80s when

This seems like when Indians were super excited about China having castes too. Then, it turned out that they were egregiously incomparable. US incumbent party criticism is nothing like CCP criticism.

This gets downvoted and ignored in every thread I see, not just on this website. But how is this not obviously the answer? We know Russia and China are funneling money to Iran so it would be a double win to drain their coffers too. Morality

Is it still a sound strategy if AGI is near? Can we even know how near each company is to AGI without knowing the quality of the training and theory in both the American and Chinese firms? Do these companies even know how close each other a
