He's referring to specific uses of technology as in AI, not the summary headline The Grauniad used. That my nature excludes 99.99% of everything that goes boom at the moment.

Well within the constraints they set out which exclude a hell of a lot of European companies. (I am in Europe for reference, this is not an external perspective)

Opt in you mean, like the cookie banners? Oh no that'll never happen because VW are a European company and the money is in fining US tech companies!

Hinton is a complete banana. If anything, we'll do it without technology.

You sound like the guy I just had to fire after blowing his toes off several times. If you think you are obsolete or faster than anyone else with these tools then you only naive enough to have lost your objectivity to the marketing. I deal

You're still doing it the hard way. I just use Handbrake. Pick a hammer, not a shitty hammer factory to assemble bits of hammer.

Monkey as a synonym of a completely fungible creature.

JSON has never been better than XML. People are just terrible at XML and don't want to learn.

Yep. Everything is exactly two models away. It's the new fusion. Yet after $X billion expenditure I still have to argue with the finest turd squeezed out of the industry over simple things that a trained monkey could work out. The whol

Oh yeah been there too. Imagine the day you could beam them out!

Because JSON is fucking horrible for humans? If there's anything I want to read it's searchable paper.

Having spent an uncomfortable and expensive night in a foreign hospital after creating my own personal fatberg, this sounds like a technological innovation that would bring tears of joy rather than stress to my eyes.

That is absolutely hilarious and amazing. I love the effort people put into things like this.

I keep hearing this but the current evidence, asymptotic progress and financials say otherwise.

Mostly because people are isolated from the consequences of their shitty architectures through the joys of being employable somewhere else.

Oh shit I just read that and am utterly horrified because I've been through that and am going through it. I have instantly decided to optimise myself to retire as quickly as possible.

It's much worse than that. It's giving the village idiot something which turns their insane ramblings into something that is incredibly verbose and sounds credible but inherits both the original idiot's poor communication and

Got it thanks. That link crashed Mouser the first time so I assumed it was a dead one :)

I know a guy who does this. He finds a problem, then tells ChatGPT about it. Then ChatGPT elaborates it into dross. He says look at the magical output, without reading it or bothering to understand it. Then posts it to the vendor. The vendo

Doesn't work for all of us. I can peacefully fall asleep from the noise of a CFM on an Airbus. On a train, rickety being chucked around all the time and always too hot, nope. I can do 10h on a plane fine. 3h on a train does me in every

by hyhconito 2y ago
Indeed that is the case there but you have to evaluate every journey based on a number of factors. Recently I had to get a train 250km in Italy and it would have been quicker, cheaper and less stressful to fly to London and back due to the

This is usually a misunderstanding of risk. I think the last stats I read were that per 18,000,000 miles of air travel for 200 people, you'd expect 1 extra person to end up with cancer. Over a baseline risk of 25% of people getting can

Oh so some of it works offline. Useless to me. Seriously. I write a lot of email on planes and do a lot of email management. All that works on the default Apple stuff as shipped other than account management. Using IMAP and iCal etc.

Just a note with those holders. They shouldn't be used in anything that will be shipped as the battery can get knocked out. The original shipped batteries were soldered in so they could be shipped safely. In fact a lot of the time the

I don't know why there is a replacement design. You can still buy them new from Mouser. They last 20 odd years usually.
