This is not really true. It was relatively easy to obtain a copy of visual studio for rather cheap if you tried. I know because I used their tools all through high school, college, and beyond and was rather poor during those times in the l

It’s really sad that money always wins and the future of computing is a 30% tax from Silicon Valley behemoths. Congrats everyone we did it.

I'm rather amazed at the sheer number of human hours invested (wasted?) into making a terrible language(s) better just so things are slightly easier for beginners.

Easy to stop? Lol it's down right impossible and all this discussion is colossal waste of time. Humans are never going to coordinate globally to do this.

ActiveX and XMLHttpRequest were pretty revolutionary, it's just especially the former was plagued by security problems and implementation issues.

Can you explain how this will compromise your ability to lock down your phone? Not only do you still have complete control over which apps you install, those that are installed are still subject to the same sandbox. If you want only Apple

They are doing no such thing. You don't have to use side loaded apps. If a company decides to only distribute from side loading, you can just not use their app. This is effectively what you are forcing on people who would prefer sid

I don't personally know a single person outside of developers that have side loaded apps on Android. Maybe I am an anomaly, but it just seems very rare.

Does your dishwasher actively add heat outside of drying? Mine just uses hot water from the water heater. I don't think it even has heating elements tbh. For drying it has crystal dry which is zeolite.

The difference is that it is not a "standardized" OS interface. Rather it's a complex layer on top of operating systems offering dumbed down and less performant versions of what is available all of which is interfaced by a d

This data is from 2019, pre-pandemic and almost 5 years ago. Things have changed.

FDIC insurance is 250k, not 500k. It's not Apples to Apples, but it demonstrates that the banking system is not rock solid either. Not only that, if you really want to look at exploitation of the poor look no further than our large ban

Doesn't Apple offer backup services in OSX? From what I can tell that's all this is, it's offering the ability to backup via OneDrive for a cost...

SVB depositors were almost in the same boat. Maybe not this time, but there is no guarantee the government will bail you out. In fact, Janet Yellen (who has a lost any credibility she may have had imho) even said they don't intend to

I respectfully disagree, engineering is about making something useful first and foremost, with just enough precision and reliability to serve the intended purpose.

Not with the stock market. When you put a dollar in the stock market someone else is taking a dollar out. For every buyer there is a seller and vice versa.

Hmm, my gaming oriented laptop (not what I use it for) does not have wobbly hinges at all, and I find the aluminum on the macs far more susceptible to dings and crap than the hardshell of the PC laptop.

A large portion of Norway's exports and wealth are oil. If anything all the fossil fuels burned creating these AI models probably helps their economy.

To remove barriers and give people a chance to achieve what they desire (if they desire). That doesn't mean everyone will have the same opportunities and/or the same circumstances. And no it doesn't, this is not an argument

The world will never be fair, I'm not even sure that is an ideal goal. The best things in my life have come from when I faced adversity, not when I was in a position of privilege. While opportunities are not always equal in quality or

Double the price at any location and any time? Or is that not an honest analysis.

So a race to the bottom. I wouldn't rely on the "truly excellent and original work" crutch for very long.

You can do this with Pro and a group policy setting. Yeah it's not optimal, but most of us that use Windows professionally (IT/Dev at least) already have this set up.

It's a great resource, but very focused on language models. I'd say if you are looking for a general overview of deep learning that fastai is fantastic.

I'm not in the medical field obviously but isn't "detection" different from "diagnosis"? Meaning detection alone does not provide a diagnosis.

It’s really ironic to me that Elon Musk signed a petition to halt LLMs but then uses AI on our roads putting people at risk without issue.

I mean I was writing C++ in junior high and I am by no means that bright. Just persistent. I think in some ways we have become too afraid of some upfront complexity at the expense of beginners in order for more well engineered systems. I
