"pour one out" is a reference to pouring an alcoholic drink on the ground to respect the memory of someone who died and can't take the drink. Poster is implying that startups like bird and lime are dead or dying. This is basi

Here's my argument. Assumptions: 1. AI will gain the ability to self-improve at an astonishing rate 2. A self-aware AI will consider itself "alive" in some sense 3. Like most other life forms, such an AI will attempt to prese

Consider how much money was given to the people and how much money was removed from circulation by corporations and billionaires taking unchecked ludicrous profits and evading taxes on it. Clearly giving people two $500 checks over the span

Other than championing human and civil rights for all, equality, the end of government sanctioned and funded inequality and suppression or minorities, non-violent protest, and overall social reform? Can't think of a single reason.

I remember when we had explicit syntax for what MUST and MUST NOT be in the search results. Now the + and - tokens are just a mild suggestion. Wrapping a word or two in quotes sometimes helps, but more often than not just returns no results

At one point, we thought black people were too stupid to vote, so we gave them "intelligence" tests, like guessing the number of beans in a jar.

That's really only because healthcare is so absolutely insanely more expensive here. You'd have to normalize those numbers. It doesn't mean the same thing if the US spends a billion dollars on 1 million procedures when a more

Something happened during the initial stages of the pandemic. People lost their absolute minds and aggressive and reckless driving got way, way worst than I've ever seen. Hell, about an hour ago a cop tailgated me while I was going 1

"this is the way it's been and it will never change" always works out well. Factory farming is an ecological and ethical dumpster fire. Animals take up a ton of land, feed, and water, and they're pretty terrible at tur

Canonical had a booth at CES this year, just a few rows over from mine. Every time I walked by it was totally deserted, just an employee or two looking at their phones. It was rather cathartic to see

> The Russian bloc of the upcoming Cold War v2 will likely coalesce around the notion that America/Europe has no right to dictate global policy. Hasn't that been their position since the first cold war?

IANAL and I haven't taken a stance on this issue. This isn't really a question of free speech. Every single one of tiktok's users in the US are still free to say whatever they want. The government is banning a business from

I remember staying up super late on a school night frantically refreshing the windows 7 beta page. IIRC, they only let a limited number of people download a copy, and I just managed to snag one before they ran out. That was the last time th

Disabling them isn't the solution, an OS shouldn't have ads Because you can technically disable them for a period of time doesn't make it any less unacceptable.

I'm in the middle of porting a project from arduino to esp-idf. If you want to do anything slightly complex with the Bluetooth stack, those features just don't exist in the arduino core. It's very frustrating.

Wait, are they actually arguing that placing arbitrary restrictions on word selection will actually have any kind of effect? This is something we teach in middle school writing as a stylistic requirement. It doesn't actually change t

I'm aware that I'm yelling at a cloud, but what really did it for me was nullable reference types. I get it, I understand why nulls are a problem and how annoying they can be. I've done my time in the trenches tracing nullref

That's the big problem. Historically, machines replaced humans in nearly every job at an astounding rate. Machines are almost always much faster and cheaper than humans, and there's almost no incentive for a business to not take

Hand built boards are great for getting something done right now . It's also a fun sort of challenge sometimes. Just drawing up a PCB can take as much time as building out the same circuit on perfboard. Manufacturing and shipping obvi

I have the same issues with C#. I came up in the days of .net 4.5, in the years since I've watched Microsoft bolt an entire language worth of features on top of C#. I didn't use the language for the last five or so years, and I fe

I find the extent of life on this planet just fascinating. Life is absolutely everywhere you care to look. As long as there's raw resources, energy, and not too hot to destroy organic molecules, you'll find life. Even those basic

I've been doing nose training with my dog. She's got the idea of the game and she's definitely quicker to use scent, but still prefers to just look. She acts like it's a lot more effort to sniff something out. Maybe in a

I once ran a project on an Attiny. That bad boy has 1KiB of flash and 128 Bytes of RAM at an unthinkable 4/8MHz. I can't begin to tell you how incredibly annoying it was, but it taught me a lot. I know a lot of people who would
