Yes and when refusing service Amazon would not be fulfilling their part of the contract. Negotiations would be harder for them in that case. Cutting service is the very last cudgel to come out for large contracts. And only when counterparty

My doctor uncle told me how people want targeted injection even though "the stuff will spread to the whole body anyway". He says "it makes them feel good so we do it that way."

Bet on an ecosystem. Waived due diligence. Didn't read the contract. Trampled the biosphere. Now trying to negotiate the bill. Ragequit incoming. Sells for pennies. I have sympathy with consumers who don't read the terms. I laugh

Amazon wants Twitter to spend according to contract; refusing service would run counter that. When there is a contract, there are hefty legal switches one can throw. No need to fiddle with resource knobs.

In my case it's not just nerves that feel it. I can get my fingers to vibrate at presumedly 50 hz by stroking the laptop lid. There is an audible hum. It happens with just one charger I have. The other charger just went out with a bang

When I use tools to create a composite where the disk of the sun is visible through clouds, and the back of a mountain below is added from a second shot, is this not photography? Because it allows the viewer to see a scene a camera with its

Great, simple app. When my tinnitus hinders me from going to sleep, I turn on Chroma Doze and that will mask the ring. Luckily, I don't need it often. And yeah, it can also mask other noise.

Great news for Moscow and if you're looking for a map, it's not in the article. Wikipedia has us covered however: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Moscow_m... https:/&#

Yea the confident nonsense generators take getting used to. They will happily mix old and new api versions and invent whatever fits the wording. So when I know my way around, they are not useful. However, I've gotten used to being able

Hey when I don't get an instant fix, I think that the positioning signal must have been intentionally degraded in my area! Incoming cruise missiles!

Whenever I read of an undersea cable breaking, I worry that the next world war has started. Seeing pipelines getting blown up for presumed geopolitical reasons hasn't reduced this anxiety. I know these cables regularly break for ordina

It's not part of the content area, but above it. The browser decides what it paints in its window. And apparently Microsoft thinks pushing an ad above a competitors page is a good idea. To the people who care, it's another reminde

Haven't read much on tactics under modern artillery. So that was refreshing. I found it interesting to read about the scenario where half a million trained Russian soldiers hit the front "soon", equipped with modern tech. Bec

The weird thing is how people steer the conversation ("stay in character!") and then conclude something about the model having certain ethics. Or when they conclude that the model can read its own source when it just invents somet

We have computer agents that are created to be killed en masse. Just look at games. Are they getting tortured? What if we let a model render their screams individually based on the injuries? Is that model tortured? Right now these models ar

I for one welcome the entertaining reporting on some rich boy's narcissist meltdown. There's room for that no?

Huh, now I wonder what he thinks of the rising tide of blocks on his profile. Wouldn't surprise me if these "mistaken" blocks were reverted soon.

When I wake from a dream, a world ceases to exist. When I close a book, I didn't kill the characters inside. Don't assume a subject where there is none. We create them in our imagination when we read a chat. Maybe ask how an AI we

Funny. I hear the Bing thing was trained on the Webs. Whoever writes the last comment, wins the argument. Or, at least the response pattern often follows that logic. The model is a good learner in that regard.

As somebdoy who is currently trying out you.com at work, I'm interested to know what their rationale for this is. Meddling in the DOM of third parties requires a good reason! I have a bunch of extension installed who I want to do this.

To reach parity with how useful USB-C is to me today, notebooks would have to switch away to Lightning. Yeah not going to happen.

Showering at Antarctica is a luxury. As the humorous article made clear. And we're not even talking about the South Pole station. I do wonder what showering regime applies there. People who can't shower don't suffer. They spo

It's a decent strategy until you realize you're just providing target practice on sorties the enemy would fly anyway. Shooting one missile a day is not affecting that budget. And pilots need constant training.

I've never lived alone. We're almost twenty people in the community where I live now. So when I switched to working from home I lost colleagues, but gained interaction at home. The loss of contact slowly grew into a disconnect fro

Delivering anything to Antarctica is expensive. Maybe people value having other things more, and showering is not that important?
