Only if you consider generative AI and human beings to be effectively equivalent. Being a project manager is more or less something humans have been doing since the dawn of time. Generative AI takes money as input and gives some output. If

Not a bug, creating distortion in the comped in backgrounds is not what this tool does. It creates a transparency mask. How do you propose a transparency mask captures distortion artifacts? That distortion to the new background would have t

Ok, but how are you going to make a billion mechanical transistors? Even if you could, latency would be limited by the speed of sound in whatever materials you use.

If there’s any chance at success, animated is probably it. Alternatively they could remake the show with a different cast portraying some other crew with a whole new storyline. Of course that’s not a reboot but it could capture the same kin

It’s not a real connection. It’s completely invented in their mind. Probably more accurate to call it a delusion.

Yes, I don’t mean to let the CCG manufacturers off the hook, but while you can play the card game and have the cards without being exposed to the gambling aspect, that’s not the case in video games where it’s practically forced upon you jus

by nkrisc 8mo ago
The “gambling” aspect of CCGs is mostly tacked on by outsiders, though driven by decisions of the manufacturer. That said, when you have a deck of, say, Pokémon cards in your hand, there’s nothing about it that encourages a gambler’s mindse

And that is a complete failure of the police and authorities. They made the decision to extradite her with such flimsy evidence.

Because much of the Asian food the average American will come across isn’t necessarily identifiable to a specific region or country in Asia, or is a blend of various Asian cuisines. Or they are broadly referring to the various cuisines of A

American food = contains corn (maize), in all its glorious (ex. nixtamalized, unprocessed, flour, etc.) and unholy (ex. high fructose corn syrup) forms.

I always charitably assumed that they designed models to utilize surplus pieces for the internal structures, pieces that might be hard to use elsewhere.

Sounds like you had a very good reason to be tracking your stomachaches. But almost everyone else aside from you And people In similar situations would be wasting their time doing that, I would imagine.

True, if you have a current and real need for the data, then it makes sense to collect it. But that’s an entirely different scenario.

What we should all be upset about is the cost of childcare (and even at these crazy costs the providers themselves are barely scraping by).

by nkrisc 8mo ago
But you didn’t spend hundreds of hours on it, so when it did happen to be useful it seemed like an outsized benefit. I would wager that for most people, most data about themselves will be useless and not worth collecting. Of course you can’

On your off days just go and walk on a treadmill for 30-60 minutes. Or 15 minutes. Anything to entrench the habit until it feels wrong to not go.

Diapers are overall a tiny expense compared to what you’ll spend over the course of their childhood. It only lasts a few years and then you’ll never have to think about diapers again (at least until the next kid). Just do whatever is easies

Why is it fair that you get to be subsidized by everyone who does pay? Imagine a world where everyone had the same attitude as you and did not pay for any media. Pirates get to pirate only because most people don’t. So why are you so specia

You’re saying it’s an easy problem with an expensive solution and yet there’s no competition? Seems there must be more to it because that makes little sense to me.

Tariffs are a cost a country incurs upon itself to protect industries that are critical, not for their profits, but for the capabilities they offer. It's paying more for something just to keep it domestically available for purposes of

You would have a good point if what Meta is doing now wasn’t far worse than what Zuck himself is describing in those comments, all while Zuck has remained at the helm the entire time.
