    Thanks for the link! This really took me back to the games I grew up on that influenced me (haven't heard the names ROTT or Redneck Rampage since the 90's)

    Yeah kind of an interesting journey. We went from people writing content for people, to bots writing content for people, to people curating content for bots (ultimately for people)…

    The irony is that a lot of people on this earth have opinions already formed by bots and AI without knowing it

    Can you elaborate a bit on how the dishwasher role gets the restaurant out of jams?

    AirBNB has really compounded the problem - another reason houses are being treated as purely an investment by people who don't live in them. Even worse they are off the rental mark…

    That would actually be a pretty amazing thing to recreate the pyramids relatively close by as modern structures and replicate it so people could experience everything in it.

    I imagine the ultimate goal is to stimulate the responses in the brain not to physically use the senses. It would most likely feel as real as a dream which feels real during it.

    Was also never taught to shave and have similar setup. I really wish I would have discovered styptic pencils sooner - would have saved me the embarrassment of going to work with pi…

    There's a ritual to straight razor and traditional single-blade safety razor (what I use now) that is compelling in modern times when everything tells you to shave off minutes from…

    Indeed. I don't even see this as a bad thing - it means you pick the best option given your shifting criteria which is what we should be doing. Blindly doing one or the other makes…

    So seemingly this is a Tensorflow model compiled as WASM? Pretty cool no matter how it's accomplished but I'll echo the other commenter that a more detailed writeup would be nice e…

    And therein lies the main problem with that line of thinking in today's political landscape - when politicians are effectively funded by the large companies that have seemingly unl…

    Why is having an impact on discourse important? It should not be the job of any media to alter arguments, viewpoints etc... it's job is to provide the facts for people to make thei…

    Any chance you can link to the conspiracy theories on the left? Genuinely curious what they are. Edit: Genuinely not Generally

    They are intertwined, no? All the training inputs would be based on the code that was affected by the aforementioned traits.

    This is good. Instead of taking profits from restaurants and drivers they'd be forced to be smarter/more agile elsewhere. A lot of restaurants are shook down for participation in t…

    Anyone know what happens if you don't have a device that supports Sidewalk (I have a really old Alexa) but want to opt out for the future? I don't see the Sidewalk option on the Al…

    It's not much different from compute power increases over the same time period. Once more is the norm then less becomes inadequate.

    Search is the only correct answer. SO may be the first click often but limiting your problem solving to that is not something an experienced dev will do.

    Having only cursory knowledge of this space I'll take a stab at an answer: every consumer of a company that uses crypto internally. AWS doesn't provide any real utility for people …

    Is the rest of the world as harsh as the U.S. in that a prison sentence is basically the end of your career? Would this guy have a shot at being an executive again?

    Because the U.S. still has not even come close to mastering the separation of church and state which means depending on where you live it will confront you frequently whether you l…

    What's the alternative - the government which a large portion of our country wants to see less of? Not to mention if it were the government's responsibility that any new president …
