Make-work. Managers needing to justify their promotions with a new way of doing things. Whole teams are given a reason to stay employed. OS and device obsolescence is achieved. A w…

This one was 1.3 billion light years away. Technically that is thousands of years ago. 1,300,000 thousands, approximately.

How does it compare with e4b, aside from being larger?

They could remove the word "AI" from each one of those feature titles, and the titles would be just as descriptive without them. At this point, it's just marketing noise, more dist…

I noticed that as well. Per the docs: Several mathematical operations are provided for combining Counter objects to produce multisets (counters that have counts greater than zero).…

If the training data is basically irrelevant, then an LLM should be able to iteratively improve the programming language it uses, resulting in a custom language optimally designed …

There's a lot wrong with the world, but it seems not unreasonable for people to more strongly critique things 1) they feel they have some responsibility for or 2) that directly imp…

Evidence is, generally speaking, anecdotal.

When the final threshold image was displayed, I felt that the boundary was too far over to the left and I had a fair amount of green on the blue side. I think this would work bette…

And regardless of whether the US government is a democracy or not, the frequent claim that it is a republic and (therefore) not a democracy is a non sequitur. It's like saying my s…

There's a couple of ways that could go down. One way is that you log in under a guest account and the guest account requires you to indicate your age. After your session is over, g…

All this fuckery makes it hard to keep track of financial inflows and outflows, which in turn makes it easy to commit graft and corruption. Especially coupled with the forced retir…
