It will be tough for Russian pride to see their nation sink to the level of North Korea as a dependent of China. Given the brilliance of the USSR's scientific developments, it's a long way down.

Gemini 1.5 Pro on Kagi also gets it right. It seems the consumer system prompt has been both-sided to uselessness.

Wouldn't you lose consumer protection entirely going that route? You'd get more protection buying directly with Visa or Mastercard.

I dearly love my N95 duck bills and always wear them while flying. I'm not really worried about COVID now, but why would I want to risk getting from anything? A cold could ruin my trip. A few hours of discomfort, but I'm uncomfort

It's tough to make that argument when those were the days of physical locations and card-based verification. While SS# is thoroughly unsuitable and personal info is even more so, that pragmatism and illusion of security serves as the f

I don't consider Steam Deck more friendly for Linux. It's largely a gaming device with a bonus desktop on the side. It's a rough user experience. The best experience always comes from desktops and Linux-friendly laptops. Fram

Personal experiences with relatives plagued by mental illness tend to dissipate the blindly cheerful view that one can find humanity in the broken pieces. But at the same time, our own humanity is found in taking care of those that cannot t

Such a loss to the world of B-movies. He gave us to many fun popcorn classics to enjoy. Producer on almost five hundred films and director on over fifty. I'm going to watch one tonight in his honor.

Collusion among real estate agents to set fixed commissions has been illegal for a long time now. I'm struggling to understand why landlords deserve any more protection. Hiding behind an algorithm seems unlikely to work now that there&

It wouldn't be quite so frustrating if it wasn't almost impossible to buy enterprise-equivalent licenses as an individual. Why can't it be as easy as Office 365? I am mystified as to why Microsoft is so disinterested in takin

It makes sense that the bad decision wasn't made by someone that's IT savvy. It would be good for the nation if paying corporate blackmail and ransom was illegal.

That would be one of the worst ideas for the future of PC gaming imaginable. Would it benefit Microsoft? Maybe. But it's not the future that platform independence is needing right now. It's impossible to trust them to execute Valv

Definitely a DJI thing since the Autel is way, way less restricted. I got annoyed that a few little barely-used airstrips seemed to enforce limitations on the entire county.

It would be worth to add a slow RAM slot or two to use it purely as an SSD cache or a substitute for swap. There's no need to eliminate the unified memory in the process of adding upgrade options.

There's an unlock mechanism in the DJI app for those with the appropriate license. There are plenty of restrictions without it.

I just recently set up Debian with KDE on my media server after years without using the GUI, and I'm finding myself using it for light browsing now. I just forget to open my laptop. Linux has gotten pretty friendly, even on a distro le

"Perfect PC", Dec 11, 2001. "Technology in America", Mar 12, 2002. I was sixteen when I got them in the mail. Such a shameless geek.

I just found my two remaining beloved PCMags in my boxes. They have such fond memories attached, but I'm thrilled that I don't have 17 years. I understand the desire to keep years of magazines, but I'd worry that it becomes a

Was Yahoo Mail any better? Or even a free email from a web host? I always assumed I was giving up some privacy. But Gmail swallowed up email, and that is so much tougher to forgive.

The Smithsonian museums in DC are all free. They are truly wonderful. I've probably spent two weeks in them over a few vacations.

I can't see why depriving a foreign corporation of access to the US market is a free speech issue. Using a freedom of information argument for Americans is a stronger position, but that isn't guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. This

I am estranged from my mother. I’ll answer if she calls, but she doesn’t. I’ll never call her. She is deeply mentally ill, and I cannot separate her from her illness. I suffered the conspiracies and delusions of grandeur for fifteen years,

4050s are stellar machines. I would've been party to so many sales in past few years if they were still available. It's great having a printer that'll use up a fuser in its life, and it's even better that you can replace

Publicizing these stories helps break the illusion that truth is a critical part of the performance of any model, GPT-4 included. We are only guaranteed similitude with what is expected. Distortion and confabulation must be expected, but ho

They are oversaturating their products with internet-based LLMs. It is a desperate attempt to milk all possible potential value from their smart investment. A careful plan for a product would be less hamfisted and include more flexibility t

I feel Microsoft's desperation to put LLM's into every product suggests mismanagement. Same as Microsoft's past efforts to Bing everything. Adobe seems to be the only one with an empowered product team that's consistentl

Best case is that they'll be forced to let us cancel with a partial refund. This is a worthy lawsuit for that reason.

The US citizens required by force to accept US dollars are anything but imaginary, and our productivity isn't imaginary either. Either bet on the US government and its citizens or bet on the digital tulip bulbs. I know which I trust mo

Macs have automatic charge caps for frequent AC use, and iPhones have delayed full charging, so there is clearly some longevity engineering. A strict cap would be an improvement, but isn't completely necessary.

Why not just keep the existing kernel running with a small team? Drivers and backwards compatibility are critical to many of Microsoft's enterprise customers. Now that isn't necessarily true for Windows running in the cloud. Drive
