I think the terminal solution to this, in the US and maybe the EU, will be putting identifying code/chips into all devices capable of connecting to the Internet that will tag all content (video, text, audio, images) in some way where b

The counterpoint is that some or all of these could make money and not enough people care how it ends if money is being made. I suspect it will have to take a terrorist plot using generative AI or something similarly significant to shut the

BeOS was streets ahead on OS and hardware. I have a feeling that timing alone is responsible for them not being a household name.

Just a heads up, this site (cables.gl) can reliably crash my browser (Firefox 128.0.3 - Linux) completely so that my only options are to quit the browser or restart it.

There are certainly writers that are better communicators and give more detail to make it easier to learn while you are practicing and studying. I have had good and bad textbooks in my academic career. So it does not hurt to get recommendat

There is a possibility that this has been fixed in newer versions or it was just a problem for me in SublimeText3 on Linux. But it happened, more than once. Your second version above is the one that I believed caused me the issue. I still u

#1 and #3 are related. They make scalping easy so they get all of their money immediately and can pay event organizers ahead of time. I personally think scalping should be straight-up illegal but business schools loove it and consider it an

Just an fyi, I have shot myself in the foot with Sublime's version of this. I became dependent on using unnamed/unsaved documents for quick notes, then at some interval I would clean up. And because Sublime would remember, I could

I have none of their hardware, but PopOS is, imho, the low-key best distro out there. It is the only one I have used that "just works" on older macbooks (9+ years old).

I don't know. If memory serves life was pretty cheap in the old testament with millions being murdered and everyone(?) killed if you count the flood.

>(i.e. by playing chess you will mostly improve your chess ELO) I have found it to help with strategy, especially multi-round strategy. This is useful in business and other areas of life, not just chess ELO.

Isn't the big problem that BM25 (and friends) will help you find (and rank) exact search terms (or stemmed varieties of that search term), whereas semantic search can typically find items out-of-dictionary but "close" semanti

Using zero sign in options permits an even faster launch! See if your CEO will go for that option!

Do you think the CEO of NVIDIA is comfortable deeply cutting the engineers at NVIDIA because, after all, it is just a matter of time before the LLMs create better chips? Or is this puffery?

However, in this universe, Microsoft has the largest market cap on Earth. So I guess the choice between everyone living happily ever after and some people living happily ever after was clearly made.

Yes. A 15% price hike is a little high, but could be expected in bigger businesses from time to time, a 15X price hike is something that the entire C-Suite now has to discuss. And what 15X new features are coming with it now?

Can't wait to find out what happened here. This seems to be a massive outage. Interesting how fragile things become when so much technology is concentrated into just a few companies.

Ahhh, ok. So they ram it in and then winch it up closer to work on it. That makes sense. These things are huge and it would seem to take a bit of time to safely break them down.

This is the real crux of any "Rule of Law" body. Can you enforce it? With the US attached, nearly any law could be enforced globally (by force if necessary) if it got out of hand. But what do you do if the target is the US? Or now
