That explains why ChatGPT has been running like shit all weekend. In the desktop app on Mac, it could not even complete a response. On the web, it would hang before you could input anything.

Yeah, most of these companies park their cash outside the US to avoid having to pay taxes, then borrow money in the US against their assets/stock. It worked great when interest rates were essentially zero. Not so much now.

Try looking at the site with uBlock Origin turned on and the article is missing important details, since the affiliate links aren't being inserted. Makes for a hilarious read. "This is why the first thing I got for my CR-V was a .

The CPI is a propaganda tool. It is designed to keep the real inflation hidden to make it seem that inflation is not a real thing to worry about. Because it is formulated in secret, they can manipulate it to give a fairly rosy picture. The

Facebook should just pay the link tax. They then need to add a link insertion fee for the media outlets, when they are the ones creating the links. Don't pay the fee, don't get any links. Make the fee 3-4x the rate of the link tax

I had Spinel Clean and Tidy that let you clean-up your registry and various temp files that were left all over the place back in the Win95 era. Also Spinel ScreenPik which was a screen capture utility.

Delphi, ah the memories. I use to make a fair amount of money in the late 90s making shareware applications with Delphi. It was the most productive I have ever been as a developer. But, the world moved to web fairly rapidly, so I had to mov

Is it just me or are all of these "new" micro blogging platforms just trying to recreate RSS feeds. You take a few pieces of relatively simple tech and wire them up and you have solved the "decentralized social media" pr

If a business is purchased by a private equity company, it is not long for this world. Private equity is all about strip mining a business.

Florida purposely built a broken system under Governor Rick Scott. It was engineered to make sure that as few eligible people could access it as possible. It is socially and technically engineered to make it so that people give up trying to

Really the "small government" party likes to use crony "capitalism" to line the pockets of the "private-sector" with as much tax payer dollars as they can.

I would say most of what passes for journalism, is no longer journalism. Journalism is about passing on the who-what-when-where-why. Factual information to the public. You see very little of that these days. Too many opinion in basic articl

It is because we understood the full-stack. There was not "frontend" and "backend" developers. There were designers and developers. Designers created designs. They were usually delivered as PDFs, because the bulk of them

I so agree. I miss good old fashion text based content. Simple, readable, and fast. There was a reason that the default links blue and underlined. Visited links were purple. You could scan an site and quickly determine where you had been be

Nashville is the place I would plant myself. Lived there for a large chuck of my life and miss it dearly. Great city with plenty of great neighbourhoods, good schools, lots of Universities in the the area, and truly livable city.

There has a been a repeated pattern in Florida to hide and obfuscate data. The Governor's Office has been trying to paint a particular version of events since day one. Everything from putting pressure on the law firm representing the M

Old school Corelle is the best ceramics you could get. I have 40+ year old Corelle plates and bowls in the cabinets right now. Used daily and dropped hundreds of times over the years.

The apple is not months old, but more likely a year old. They are kept in cold storage for extended periods of time. The truth is that it makes horrible sense to ship crops to the US from anywhere outside of the US. US agriculture policy is

You need to look at the work of Mark Shepard. His work is all about farm scale permaculture. He has a book Restoration Agriculture you can find on Amazon, etc.

Yeah, it may seem high, but at the same time a lot of the content is still content he created. In that context, I think the number is reasonable. We use it as a huge part of the our home schooling at the house.
