Emissions standards have also made it nearly impossible to repair your own vehicle, leading to tons of waste and extra expense. Car manufacturers like these regulations because the…

Totally unreasonable. A space heater uses 900-1800 watts. Slow cooker 250, TV 175, electric stove 4000, AC 1500, hair dryer 1500. Idling gaming PC? 70 maybe? That's the same as a c…

It's not as good as it's sounds, especially with new Ryzen cores. IBM won't let you do benchmark comparisons, but I've found unofficial ones that show Ryzen is almost 3X performanc…

This was partially a PR move. Surfside is over 1/3 Jewish and a large number of Israelis lived in the building. Not saying it's "bad" at all for Israel to send in experts. But it's…

It's because it contains a chemical used to make meth. It has nothing to do with corporate, it's federal law. Sales are tracked nationwide because gangs were bussing groups of peop…

Propaganda. Orban is a dictator in everything but name, like Putin. He stacked the courts and government servants with loyalists. He controls over 90% of the media. The election sy…

The Hubble was also a redesigned spy satellite. The main mirror design was chosen so it could be built with existing mirror tech made for military imaging satellites. There's proba…

I for one hope they get a strong talking-to. What a meanie tech giant!

A lot of people don't realize, all high quality voice models are clones. The network is trained to mimic your voice as close as possible. Alexa, Cortana, and Siri are all real peop…

It's a repeat of the gilded age about 100 years ago. Unions are dead, gig jobs get around the worker protections that took us 80 years to win. The gap between the richest and the r…

Wow that's it? All the privacy invasion caused by personalized ads is only worth that much? More reason to ban it completely

I never knew that about exhaust velocity. So as propellant mass efficiency goes up linearly, power use goes up exponentially? does that make fast interstellar travel impossible?

The corruption runs deeper than that. Something like 50% of drug discovery is funded by US govt, taxpayers. Yet 100% of the profits from new drugs goes to big pharma. They're robbi…

Japan gets more flak because it's physical and historical isolation plus high cultural homogeneity have resulted in unique societal quirks. Going to western Europe feels like the U…

This seems to imply millennials are lazy. They're the most educated generation in US history, and at the same time, the poorest in at least 60 years. COVID relief funds are only pa…

Let's just not compare any country to another because most of it will make China look bad.

Is that not true? Google and Oracle had a 10 year multi billion dollar legal fight over ~20 lines of code identical between Android and JVM. A non rich individual has basically zer…

It's not outrage bait. The thing reproduces GPL licensed code verbatim.

This is the crux of copilot. When I saw it copying RSA keys I knew, it's overtrained. Most of the comments are waxing about philosophical possibilities of copilot copying GPL. Real…

I don't really welcome our new corporate overlords, but why does anyone give a shit what Chinese govt thinks? They're hilariously corrupt, natavist, and frankly crazy. To the point…
