Grievance politics sells quite well. When AfD backers argue it's Western Germany's fault, it's easy for a lot of people to climb on board. Heck, AfDs own platform argues there should be more Russian language in the schools an

The only game I've I've supported where I ended up buying licenses for friends and family. Lot of respect for them and their game.

The logical endpoint of the entire "the car as software" concept. Can't wait for the security vendors to start hawking "AV for your car"

What a puritanical response. By your argument, anything that could be abused is verboten. Feel free to live (and argue that way). I'll do the opposite. I'll trust to documented, well researched data rather than someone's &qu

I agree, but the shareholder mentality undervalues the heck out of that.

I'm glad to see the competition; nothing provokes meaningful change without it. Not surprised at Nvidia's blatant fabrications though; more of the same we've seen time and again (Superchip anyone, with 2+ year old designs).

Great article. Just reminds me of how much societies resemble a pendulum; swinging from one extreme to the other. And of course you have the problem that some people want to freeze it mid-swing, or worse tear the damn thing down completely.

LOL.. you are correct. Funny thing though... the 'Always Free' text is linked to a "/start-free/" action\page. One could argue that they are hedging their bets.

I must admit, all my prompts start with this. Have to do some testing now.

I tried this a few months ago after seeing a Youtube video where a guy generated TTRPG miniatures using it. It was okay at the time, but nothing I'd depend on. Seems the author thinks the same.

I don't find that at all. At work, we've no access to the API, so we have to force feed a dozen (or more) documents, code and instruction prompts through the web interface upload interface. The only failures I've ever had in

No, SHOULD is defined in the RFC, not by colloquial usage. Google is on the wrong, regardless of their "safety" intent. After all, linguistics is full with examples of words that are spelled the same, but have different meaning in

Oat fiber. I've been taking 30g of oat fiber everyday for the past 3 years. Slugging it down in 8oz of warm water and 10g of nooch. Not only are my cholesterol levels fantastic after starting that regime, but very regular as well.

From personal experience I had half a dozen aunts and uncles (70+) mention the "Google AI thing" on their phones. Rather surprised me.

I've heard it was Sam Altman and OpenAI basically buying every wafer available from both Samsung and SKHynix at the start of October. Neither company know of the other purchase until it was a done deal.

Great tool, and incredibly easy to use. Started with it on Linux, and now use on 'doze too. Probably the singular reason why I finally use regex as the first search option, rather than turning to it after bruting thru a search with sta

Absolutely! I do this yearly. It's a great way to ensure that a SNAFU somewhere doesn't nuke years of photos, email and documents.

Very, very neat, and a testament to the 'that's neat' way of doing science. I also love that the device has an innate 'periodicity' of movement. Somewhat reminiscent of the Strandbeest concept (also by a Dutch gentl

No, you're the one in denial. Just have a look at the decade old book "Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" to see the flaw in your assumptions. It details many Concrete examples of exactly how the companies are man

I've never had any lack of focus or motivation to get anything done since I started Tz. I did have some energy loss, especially at first, but I assume that was because my body was struggling to cope with a lack of carbs. However, after

Absolutely understand. Never had joint issues, but after being on Tz for a couple of months, I had knee and hip pain. I'm convinced it was muscle loss, because after I boosted my protein intake and exercise, they started to go away. A

Intuitively, I suspect any acid is bad for your teeth. But I see that statement primarily from Dentists, and their track record in a number of areas is less than stellar. Prime example: Flossing and 6 month checkups. Neither of which have g

IIRC, the Sumerians (through the Akkadians perhaps) left records stating they had to build walls around their cities. Which to me certainly implies the Sumerians had cities without walls for some time. Pretty big deal that, to have recorded
