Rekordbox is extraordinary in that it has completely captured the DJ market and absolutely everyone hates it. AlphaTheta (nee Pioneer DJ) makes arguably the best club DJ equipment …

If I put a tontine on the blockchain does that make it legal?

I'd assume the real trigger here is "reaching AGI," which would help OpenAI shrug off some of their Microsoft commitments thus making OpenAI models available on Amazon Bedrock. Whi…

It's not illogical to staff up an agency charged with efficiency so you can cut more staffing elsewhere. This is honestly what most SaaS does.

I have a few friends who were involved in the creation of the US Digital Service, and as it stands it is one of the absolute best parts of our government. Formed after the Healthca…

I work in AI product eng for a larger company. The honest answer is that with good RAG and few-shot prompting, we can consider actual incorrect output to be a serious and reproduci…

Laughed out loud. And FWIW loved Final Fantasy VIII. More then VII. The soundtrack was fantastic, I used to have an imported full orchestral arrangement that was in heavy rotation …

I haven't thought about that episode of "Pinky and the Brain" in years, thanks for a chuckle.

I wouldn't call Monkeypox a maybe virus, especially along with these. Its spread was mostly limited to a single community (sexually active gay men), and it absolutely would have sp…

Works until you get a bug in the deletion job. I've seen exactly this happen.

When I was a student at Brown, Facebook would report which dorm you were logged in from, right there on your profile (for all to see!). If Facebook knew where you were on campus, c…

This seems worth taking with a grain of salt. I've never heard of this source before today, and the top story on the homepage opens with "MOST MAINSTREAM MEDIA MAVENS ARE BRAZEN PU…

The explanation I saw indicated that they keep readers on the site longer, which helps with both SEO and ad revenue (if they scroll deeper).

With regard to the phone number spoofing: I recently had an actual call from American Express's security department marked by AT&T as "Fraud Risk," presumably because it's been spo…

Been using Stackdriver for four years and will back up those who are saying it works very well.

Thanks for clarifying – really changes the connotation of the headline.

Came here just to post this link; it's really stuck with me over the years.

Roughly 1/3 of cannabis is grown inside [1], primarily for reasons of quality control. I'd actually expect this number to grow as the legal market expands and tighter control is ne…

I'm curious why Congress has chosen not to regulate (or ban) the grant of tax incentives to companies as enticements for development; this seems to easily fall under the interstate…

That's not quite right. We won't know how pay works out until there's an appropriation ending the shutdown, but in past shutdowns both essential and non-essential employees have be…

Huge market opportunity for OnlyFans.com and similar Patreon-for-porn sites.

Assuming poor security practices is the new assumption of monetary debt from a merger. One wonders what it will take to get companies to take auditing potential acquisitions' secur…

Wow, was thinking of this exact comment. 100% correct. (Somehow the online mattress craze seems immune to the same downfall.)

Your point about FDA's mission is paramount, but in this case it extends to HHS (its parent) as well. It'd be foolish to expect large (calcified) government agencies to, of their o…
