Where does the $99 come from you ask? Your salaries if AI works (and takes your jobs), and your taxes if it doesn’t (bubble bursts, your taxes bail them out Becasue it’s too big to fail).

You could potentially make DNA a 'protected class' of data, implying insuarance companies cannot look at it in their decision making, same as something like race.

Why in the world is the ban self-imposed? People literally died because of this, others spent their lifetimes rotting in prison. A software bug is perfectly fine, everthing has bugs. It was the years of gaslighting, lying and sending people

This and the eye tracking could make a killer combo. “Stare at this ad for 30s to unlock the drive gear”.

The largest output of a PhD has always been the training to the student, not the thesis itself, hence why we're called 'students'. Anyone claiming that a thesis can be generated by AI is missing the point. AI can also do ever

Top AI research firm in the world brags about not knowing how to air gap a computer? It accidentally connected to the internet? “Guys our AI can hack companies too, it’s not just openAI”.

I wonder where the people who spend hours and hours making the perfect gaming setup isntead of gaming, or the audiophiles who spend their lives in an eternal quest to get the perfect equipemnt instead of listening to music, end up in this a

I think mine is from 2019. I didn't realise it wasn't natively displaying an epub. I haven't noticed any breaks, or maybe I attributed any errors simply to the original epub and didn't realise it was a conversion error.

Interesting. I generally hate proprietary software, but I've actually been really satisfied with the kindle UI. I don't use the store at all, simply email epubs to it directly. (I usually only move 1-5 books max at a given time, s

No no, the opposite is replenish. As in increase people supplies. As in the Matrix.

This argument might make a modicum of sense if the US hasn’t spent the last 2 years establishing itself as a bigger enemy of the west that China.

I wouldn't write it down, I would just make it 1234. They're bound to try that. Then they have absolutely no case against you.

I find value in it as a bedside clock, primarily for the alarm.

its a lovely ritual for me, setting the clocks twice a year. Makes you appreciate the passage of time (arguably a key feature of a clock), plus I enjoy the slight confusion in the morning, my phone says one thing, my bedside clock another,

The core idea is really solid, but isnt half the article about finidng the right type of paper and taking care of fountain pens? I don't think my setup (free notebooks from events + ballpoint pens) will reduce yourt brain activity comp

Nah I got this used text book once and it had all sorts of ridiculous stuff written in the margins. Some of the authors instructions were crossed out and replaced with their own instructions. I was really annoyed at first but then I tried s

this is a good reminder for me. I just switched from a 5 minute cycle commute to a 20 minute cycle commute. Time to break out some audio books.

The index is a ludicrous product. The battery life, they claim, is 2 years. This is one heck of a misrepresentation. It is actually 12-15 hours. They get the 2 years because its meant to be used around 10-20 times a day, in *3-6 second* rec

Their policies are obviously not compatible, I just don't see how that could work out for either party. Sure you could get more votes that way, but the honourable thing to do is to run seperately.

I feel exactly the same way. Though one extra factor is that I feel like my time was so pure back then. Now, with multiple degrees, I keep thinking about weird concepts like 'opportunity cost'. There was no opportunity cost when I

The big problem with the subscription model for me is that it gives devs carte blanche to "fix it in post". Its now okay to sell a half baked product and then sell a subscription for bug fixes. Befiore the advent of subscriptions,

Because it’s quite difficult to tell whether someone is in the UK illegally just by looking at them, I imagine some of that hostility isn’t very well contained.

In CS, unlike in many other fields, the best work comes out as conference papers, not journals, and they do have strict page limits. Most arxiv papers I read become conference papers, not journal papers.

You won't fool me with that. Everyone know's Oxford's a complete dump! (I'm coincidentally at Cambridge currently, which really makes the joke work)
