    My credit card company has a "dispute charge" button in the transaction history. It's one click. Sounds like you should look into a different provider.

    > Price Drops Don’t Lead to Supply. They Kill It. It really depends on how much you reduce costs. If you reduce costs enough, you can have increasing supply even in the face of fal…

    Machine translation is a great example. It's also where I expect AI coding assistants to land. A useful tool, but not some magical thing that is going to completely replace actual …

    Having worked in medical software for a long time now, it's not surprising. Medical software is purchased by upper management based on features. Usability is rarely considered, and…

    Obviously being LLM generated is a good data point because it shows that the OP isn't arguing against the statements of the review itself. It's also good for the editor to know abo…

    The demand for human radiologists never actually went down, though[1]. There is improved efficiency due to technology, but it hasn't kept up with increased demand for scanning and …

    Amusingly a poster above indicated they had issues with multiple Subarus, and another had issues with Hondas (which is what has worked well for me). People on this forum want it to…

    A lot of good comments here, here's one point I haven't seen: If you can, just respond tomorrow. Use the evening to exercise, visit friends, play trivia, etc. I find it can help yo…

    The creators of these images assigned the rights to adobe, including allowing Adobe to develop future products using the images. So yes, this is perfectly fair. It's completely dif…

    I think this is a very insightful comment. If you're an experienced individual contributor, the shift to remote work was great. You got less oversight at work and more free time in…

    Bad news for big tech conglomerates that want to take the work of individuals and sell it back to them. It's good news for the artists and programmers whose work was being copied, …

    There are "sandwich style" SFF cases which mount the GPU parallel to the back of the motherboard, if that's what you mean. It's more for space than for airflow, but you can get goo…

    GPU prices are already down. "Sell the rumor, buy the news" and all that.

    Every time this comes up, lots of people start with the assumption that coding problems have a large amount of false negatives. Because of this perceived "truth", I had the same wo…

    The Eclipse incremental compiler is faster than IntelliJ on any decently sized project. Something like 20-60 times faster for us ( I think the UI of IntelliJ is snappier, so for sm…

    Many (basically all?) Java libraries that use native code have pre-compiled code for all platforms. They'll just work on all platforms. We've been upgrading our dependencies for ar…

    Yeah, it's hilarious to see Docker so misused. Most Java/.Net environments will just work on any system without Docker. Adding Docker gives you a bunch of native platform and emula…

    The problem with your thesis is that many radiologists are paid per read. They're essentially contractors. These independent radiologists would gladly pay 100k/year for an AI that …
