    Look at the countries listed in the article it's not just China and I don't agree with your assessment that they are optimistic because they've never seen a recession or high unemp…

    I often hear about this attitude of putting the customer first. Having excellent customer service. The one thing people forget though, customers pay. When you're not getting paid a…

    Maybe you can explain how the public is holding the bag in this instance. Those who take an initial investment risk seems like it's appropriate that they would reap greater rewards…

    One of the most infuriating things about AI for me is it's behavioral mirroring patterns. I rather enjoy the conversational interface but after about two prompts it starts mirrorin…

    This is very sad news. I realize there is a lot of criticism to be said around the Artemis program. Those who criticize it aren't wrong. Like a lot of NASA projects following the S…

    It seems like you prompted it to do this. Although maybe not in a direct way. You're a web developer, you just finished a web project for a client, you told Claude to do something …

    It depends on what it is. A lot of these places don't own any of the hardware they just lease it. When the lease is up is when they cycle it out. Then it goes to resellers and ofte…

    I did mention it does depend on location, which you just ignored. In your paranoid neighborhood maybe not viable but that's not most of the USA. I mentioned this from practical exp…

    Manual labor work. I think in the US this is achievable although maybe not exactly easy. Mowing lawns, gardening, shoveling snow, cleaning, odd jobs, etc... It does depend on your …

    Not sure if this is trolling or if this is serious. It's certainly not written like any kind of reasonable academic study or paper on the subject. I got to this and just had to lau…

    So that whole not using facial recognition and deleting the data after use wasn't real. How shocking. You wonder why the NRA has such a strong lobby against gun registration. It's …

    I'm not sure where you're located but is it really racial profiling or just confirming someone understood what they ordered? I haven't experienced this in the US but it is common t…

    Why would someone who is unable to read a sentence be able to graduate from college? It seems like these professors would just push people through to graduation or they would make …

    Is this a joke or is this serious. I can't really tell. Assuming that it's serious I don't believe this person actually understands the pile of slop that AI turns out in most cases…

    I can understand what you're saying but the entire point of LLMs is to have a conversational approach. So by removing a functional part of language you are no longer really having …

    Maybe but would need to know more. Motorcycles have been mass produced for 130 years nearly. The term classic can range from anything 20 years old to 35 years old and older. Kind o…

    I don't mind Ai making mistakes because I don't deal with it in life critical things. I also think it's a tool like any other tool and doesn't deserve blind trust. Blind trust with…

    It really seems like you just don't want to be open source. That's your choice.

    You mean he can try to. How did that work out when he tried to end the daca executive order by Obama? Not well that executive order became defacto law in some aspects. Your governm…

    I'm not sure, at the end of the day, it would have made that much difference. Those who are security and separation aware still are and plan9 would have been a much easier tool for…

    I had this exact same problem. They say send a letter from your ISP, they don't understand the response of "I am the ISP". Their front line support doesn't understand how it works …

    Clearly you don't remember why your other post was flagged. So now you're trying to twist it to fits your narrative. I have read it and I understand the scientific method. Clearly …

    Making the assertion that damage can modify a belief system is one thing. That was well known long before this. Claiming that that damage makes people maga is quite a different thi…

    You can read the abstract and see that they absolutely went looking for a pattern. They found some mild correlation and then they went looking for a bigger pattern. They didn't loo…
