A-grade bullshitter as the article puts it is pretty accurate. Thought I would test it and just asked ChatGPT if it knew the Voyager episode "11:59", the answer got everything wrong. Season, number and date, all incorrect. >&qu

I watch a lot of DIY and gardening videos. Occasionally a video gives bad or even dangerous advice and a high dislike ratio can at least indicate that something is off. Comments are also useful to figure out what the creator is doing wrong,

It's more practical at this point to start weaning off carrying a phone at all times. Not necessarily going off grid into the woods, just not carrying it unless you'll need it for something specific that day. I'm not sure mor

Don't be ridiculous, you're just making assumptions based on your value system. I have children and I've passed on higher paying jobs (perhaps not double but 50%) out of principle. I also wouldn't work for Google whateve

What a mean and immature article. The "influencer" is stupid (and a psychopath apparently), everyone is stupid, well everyone except the author of the text. It does read like someone very young wrote it, I guess the author is youn

These stories used to be funny when it was about crap that just didn't work. They are becoming terrifying to be frank. Counting people in rooms for on-demand tickets, in-car purchasing of additional features, mandatory bio-metric monit

If your primary motivation is short-term monetary gain then you're right, it doesn't sound like a rational undertaking. I can think of two reasons to work on open source. Altruism, you want to give back to the community without ex

I agree with your points with a couple of caveats. I've written a lot of terrible code. For the good stuff it's usually not the existing lines of code or structure that are butchered rather the additions which do not follow the sp

I've found being too attached to code is a recipe for frustration in the workplace. You code something elegant, simple, dare I say beautiful and inevitably it will be butchered by new product requirements, business needs, that quick ha

Agree. After using gmail for many years it seemed like an unnecessary expense to pay for email. Finally jumped to Fastmail 6 months ago and all I can say is I should have done it sooner. Weaning off the big boys and returning to being the c

I haven't claimed that all content published by MSM is fake news or even the majority. A war was initiated under false pretenses, published by these organizations. Everyone knew it was fake and a charade and they published it anyway. T

Just because the media has cooking articles doesn't mean it isn't propaganda. At the time of the Iraq war everyone who cared to look into it knew the whole thing was absolutely fake news. If I knew it was fake, and all the people

Absolutely correct. The actions of mainstream media have resulted in countless deaths, destruction and other barbarous acts committed as a result of fake news and propaganda. Yet they call for the censorship of others for deeds that pale in

Is the talking point in the US that disgruntled Americans are terrorists?! Really? Right, wrong, crazy ... however you see them. Kinda scary calling citizens terrorists, especially on a political basis. Protestors invading government buildi

I live in a country that the US has sanctioned in the past for undemocratic election processes. Also, I'm familiar with our voting procedures and have worked on election oversight, data gathering etc. If we had an election that had a f

You are correct, several large corporations bordering on monopolies (and possibly national security apparatus too) are in the process of putting the internet under total control. Disappointingly there are those who would downvote you for th

One could argue that the increase in hardware performance of computers has led to the art of software design falling by the wayside. Horribly inefficient software runs because the hardware performance hides the truth under the hood.

Excuse my ignorance, I know nothing about running these ads. How does a bot know whether you've optimized for download volume or in-app actions? I don't understand how a bot would know to download the app to fulfill your requireme

Perhaps not, but it does allow you to learn to grow your own food and fix your own car, and all manner of other things. Most people use it for entertainment but we really are spoiled with the amount of information at our fingertips. The goo

I loved Unity, and was pretty apprehensive about the change back to Gnome in 17.10. To my surprise, having hated gnome 3 when it came out years ago, the transition has been almost painless. The Ubuntu team have done a great job, the "n

I understand where you're coming from, I too live in a country where healthcare is free at the point of use, but your claim is ludicrous. If you've ever payed any taxes then you have payed for the services you've received.

You're right of course. One can even create a simple single-page application without using frameworks and external libraries and fit it in 5% of the mentioned size. I built verbatim [1] in 24KB, JS, CSS, all image assets included. It i

While not surprising that hyperbole and bombastic claims would fare better than run of the mill news stories or opinions, seems strange to consider all tweets as news stories. Also, their cited sources of truth are overtly biased with respe

We wanted children but were putting it off, actually I was putting it off with the excuse that we had to get in a more stable financial situation. That was just an excuse, the reason was immaturity on my part. I wasn't ready yet. Got a

Immaturity. People refusing to grow up and get on with life.

Speaking of anomalies, tunnels and London. On the Piccadilly line between Hyde Park Corner and Green Park it feels like the tube train takes forever while going at great speed. Yet the distance is barely half a mile. Mind you it has been a
