The problem the company has is not making enough money. It addresses that problem. The funny thing about that problem is that it is unsolvable.

I feel seen. When my wife and I moved into a new house, my big box of cables got sorted into several smaller boxes of cables, and an "other" bin. I also have a travel bag of meticulously packed USB cables of all kinds. 3 times in

I think we won't get meaningful change until a data broker gets hacked and a huge number of people (including elected officials), have their data on display for all to see.

Modern Minecraft Java editions are going to struggle on hardware that old. I am not sure about Minecraft Windows.

I must be old school. I never got on board with Plex, because my "lifetime" licenses for PlayOn, TVersity and Twonky all ended up completely useless. Yes, those licenses still work, but you can't get the latest versions whi

I'd take these over a lottery ticket. Not mentioned: I'd bought a handful of these off CL as well, and they all worked. Dell business machines are pretty reliable. It's a much better wager than a lotto ticket.

$60 gaming PC's are doable if you buy an "untested" Dell Optiplex and get lucky. A few years ago, I bought a couple of these in that price range that not only worked, but had a GPU of some kind. Good enough for Left4Dead at

I can help explain. When I said this: > Trying to put the focus on the victim's actions and not the criminal's actions is called, "blaming the victim" That's exactly what you're doing here - shifting the foc

Most cars burn their engines out long before that. But damn, if it would not be fun to melt an engine driving at the redline in a straight line.

runako was making a joke about someone's grueling drive of 500 miles in 2 hours. ...Which would mean you're driving at 250mph.

Gotta be Germany and the Autobahn. The questions really are: What car are you driving? How are you not dead?

Not just that, but being socialized to have women enforce their own status as second class citizens in a variety of ways. In some fashion, this is what the "Tradwife" movement is about. Example: I recall my grandmother opining t

They had all kinds of weird stuff which the big makers didn't want to exist - adapters to use Xbox controllers on Playstation and every permutation you could think of. All the big console manufacturers sued them. Said it was about mod

I like the graphics horsepower of my PS5, but a lot of the games I play, I'm just not sure I would notice the difference between it and my old PS4. Resolution is the biggest thing, since I didn't have a PS4 Pro and it'd be l

I guess Bing has an 8% market share, if you don't count services that use the Bing index (like DuckDuckGo does). I wonder if Bing is worth it for them to still operate because of the people paying to use the index.

I enjoy how Bing Maps (and Bing in general) are so unloved that it's not even part of the debate. (Bing Maps hasn't changed - yet - but probably will eventually, since they caved on the Gulf of Mexico)

I recently have been trying out frontier models on writing. Just for laughs, to bring an idea I have into the world acting more as director than author. I have a multi agent setup and am getting different models to argue about rating the

For some reason Salzburg had so little car traffic during the day it was eerily silent. People using their inside voices outside to talk to each other. We visited on a weekday, so that may have been why.

No. I think the AI companies are doing this when they think they can tell a story about doom and gloom instead of sloppy engineering, which I thought was clear on. There's no such thing as bad publicity in AI, at least if you spin the

I am not uniquely skeptical about OpenAI. I was including skepticism about Anthropic as well in my post. But for that matter, I do believe that big tech companies do not release all the postmortems publicly. I have been impacted by region

It feels like we're in a moment of, "No such thing as bad publicity" when it comes to AI. The scarier the capabilities, the more businesses and government want to get their hands on them. Especially since the answer across

Curry would turn up in some strange places. Less beloved was the 90's sci-show "Earth 2" (also featuring Clancy Brown).

I have tried it a couple of times. For muscle tightness, there is some science behind why it works (and indeed this worked for me). Did it work better than a very painful massage session? No. But it was a lot less painful!

I recall reading that some thought that simple electrical signals could not fully explain our nervous system and there may be some quantum effects in the mix.
