Why is the danger sickening? Of course the equipment is dangerous -- it all exists so you can kill people and not die well beyond any natural level, and there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The IDE is pretty damn good. Plenty of shitty parts but all said and done, VS Code can't even scratch the way that I can rearrange the UI to fit everything I need to see when doing firmware development, at least not without a lot of sc

They didn't choose to sell exclusive rights to one person, they wanted the sale of the album to roughly follow the old patronage model of funding. The idea was that their patron would give them money upfront for the artistic output and

Hopefully Shkreli nuts up, chances some more jail time, and releases his copy so these crypto freaks get some amount less than they would've had it not been free. I know the article says they're "in talks" with the artis

You'd find a way regardless of your fresh produce situation if everybody called you a lardass every day. We're not talking about being healthy, we're talking about not being obese. You can absolutely lose weight eating awful

People love the very notion of an app. Computers went from something every user was expected to program to some extent to that brittle black box because users didn't want to program, they just want the benefits of software spoonfed

People just don't care and won't do it if it requires more than a fleeting thought to get it done. Excel is comically powerful and only a tiny fraction of users have any interest in tapping into that. Every step of the way, for th

I'm not so much upset as I am flabbergasted. Reading the documentation is basically never the hard part. If it's where most of your work is going, you're not doing hard work. Gemini 1.5-Pro may be able to summarize documentat

I get the sneaking suspicion that you don't actually do this shit. ChatGPT isn't an expert coder sitting by your side. It's not even remotely close. Go ahead and get ChatGPT to walk you through how to implement even a non-nov

This isn't even the most interesting deal in this space. There are some people that have established some pretty sweet gigs with some key eBay partners directly. Won't get into details because I'm moderately close to an invol

If your original source is provably transpilable to C with no UB, and your compiler provably compiles that C without any bungling, then you've made it. The standard is bad and I want to see the end of C before I'm dead, but this i

Insane that they're demonstrating the system knowing that the unit in question has exactly 802 rounds available. They aren't seriously pitching that as part of the decision making process, are they?

I can't describe to you how excited I am to have my time constantly wasted because every administrative task I need to deal with will have some dumber-than-dogshit LLM jerking around every human element in the process without a shred o

I've come to believe that the "just reboot" mindset is a rotten one that has done severe damage to computer technology and the people that work on it. It was a compromise that made sense in its place and time, but we've

Have you seen any industry applications of that part? I'm seeing 51 cents/piece at 3k on DigiKey, which is pretty wild when more fully featured OTP parts are available for less than ten cents.

Something about this makes me cringe. Not sure exactly what. I think it's the idea of "iterate fast and build awesome software" as it pertains to high integrity systems. You don't iterate fast or slow when dealing with t

Until a few months ago, I worked at a company that was uneventfully owned by various PE firms for the last fifteen years or so. I was shitcanned after the PE owners of my company got their arm twisted into selling my company to a strategic

Extremely common in corporate America. I had to click through more of them than I can count, luckily the service my employer did it through would let you skip to the end of the videos and blow through it faster. I don't understand why

People want to eat to excess because they're psychologically/emotionally rewarded for doing so, because eating whatever and whenever you could was pretty fucking important for tens of thousands of years before we had infinite McDo

The second paragraph of my post is completely beside the point, I just wanted to point out that it's a bit silly making the "downloading under duress" point when people _do_ do that in a lot of ways. The law is not about whet

This isn't about whether or not algorithmic slop is unhealthy. It's quite obviously awful for the people it's exploiting. It's about who's controlling it. This is without a doubt the proper handling of this from a f

I pay $50/month for 300/30 in the middle of nowhere. Symmetric gigabit is available for $80ish/month in small cities around me. Unlimited phone data is widely available and fairly priced. It's not impossible for things t

Saying that detractors are upset with the idea of charity is reductive. I personally don't like it because it seems to attract self-aggrandizing navel gazers who don't have the nerve to have a lot of money without some justificati

That's great as far as they're concerned. This is a seven digit purchase with a lot of moving parts. They need to know that you can actually pay them and you need to get an opportunity for your lawyers to grill them and get them o

Not to minimize your concerns, but as it stands, AI is replacing dick-all in the near term. Wondering what employment will exist in 3 years is a tad silly. This shit is confidently wrong without a tinge of doubt and the mitigation for that
