Not long before (or it's already happening) LLMs start training on stuff they wrote previously and it becomes the largest echo chamber the internet has ever seen.

But that's the author's point, no? Icons are great when used as visual shortcuts, but the way they're implemented makes absolutely no sense to the point of being detracting. They'r…

Pretty similar to how a lot of people in IT are using it: - Generating boilerplate code for a process - saving time and then just customizing basic code after feeding it an idea an…

To everyone saying GCP will be gone - it generates over $8 billion in revenue per year and $400 million in profit. There's no chance they kill it any time soon. Yes it posted heavy…

Yep - the fact that they listed this at the very top of the reasons above any kind of debt or spending numbers is pretty telling. And they're not wrong

Homelessness isn't just caused by someone not having a home. There is a massive overlap of mental illness and substance abuse/addiction. Just giving a homeless person a house will …

Wouldn't something like this actually be great at breaking up clots?

There are adapters that let you use multiple and bypass that limit. Kensington has a few. This one is pricier but also doubles as a docking station/100w PD: https://www.kensington.…

We're allegedly going to see this in 2H '23. The 2 CU iGPU performance is about half of a 5600/5700g, so if we see an 8-12 CU model...it could completely replace the low-mid market…

It's movable of course, but this is still a downgrade from win10. My biggest peeve is that there seems to be no option anymore to not-condense icons, and you can't change the notif…

Agreed - especially if I'm remoted into a box and not necessarily running a full-resolution screen. Bad UI design is magnified when you're at 1024x768.

It just doesn't make sense though for that reason. You can't sneak up on an engine. There's not a single engine out there that wouldn't recognize a mate in 2 moves. Unless the oppo…

What are they supposed to do? Demand ramped up significantly during covid - they needed staff to support it. They really had no choice but to hire that staff unless they wanted to …

So he can't be held liable because he is the Prime Minister of SA. Essentially the same thing here where the sitting President cannot be directly charged with a crime (or sued pers…

Absolutely appalled there are apples below Red Delicious on this list.

Yep - it's cool to hate tiktok, but it's chock full of excellent content. Yeah there's a lot of trash (just like the internet in general) but just swipe it away. Follow creators yo…

10-15k per student per year beats out nearly any public school system in my state. They only _just_ raised the starting salaries to a bit under 40k. edit: also - homeschooling/priv…

Yep. Unfortunate is for the public schools though as there are now fewer teachers available to hire. There's teacher shortages in almost every state in the country.

Unfortunately hiring a private teacher to teach a small group of similarly-aged kids is reasonably affordable for families (less than half the price of private school), gives them …

6 gauge usb type a connector would be cruel. Get it wrong the first time? enjoy your workout.

hah, i didn't say it was a simple problem to solve :)

the problem is that there is no "standard" usb-c cable. there's usb 3.0, usb 3.1, usb 3.2, usb 3.2 gen 2, usb-c thunderbolt, etc. this is a major problem they need to figure out im…

ahhh yes, 12 gauge USB-C.

You can opt back out at literally any time.

sigh. there are dozens of easily viewable meta-analyses of millions of children that show no link, and zero that do.
