Maybe. Perhaps they are trained on the loudest and most extreme of us. I think we saw that with mecha hitler.

Time and progress have overtaken them. At the time they were likely correct but I certainly wouldn’t bother with react native any more when the LLMs have gotten so good

There are ignorant takes and then there is this. A country that can build the Rafale independently is not to be trifled with.

Boards are not involved in day to day decision making unless something has gone very wrong. The CEO shows up every day.

It’s well documented that the handling of dead bodies at the time was relegated to temporary facilities due to the increased volume.

Me too. I really wanted to like Cosmic but the hassles wayland causes with ordinary things like zoom is just not worth it. Plus all the progress with gaming that has been made on Linux, wayland ruins. I’m back to X and get off my lawn et

I don’t know about that “adults” comment. Microsoft grew their operating system up from a very low base where the “adults” moved theirs down. For most users, windows NT was ridiculous overkill. At the time most users and businesses didn’t

That’s interesting. In most western slaughter systems for beef or lamb the trend has been to make the animals as calm as possible to avoid “dark cutters” https://www.beefresearch.ca/fact-sheets/dark-cutting-beef/

Didn’t the Apollo 13 crew make an air scrubber out of duct tape and hope? Surely a cardboard box, a box fan and a hepa filter covered in tape gets you 90% there

It’s a long, desperate and complicated tale as the Windows team, frightened by their own shadows, attempted to head off any and all possible competition. From web views to tablet interfaces and every other mistake you can see the legacy of

Which is true, so the distribution of the software cracker would have been fairly limited I would have thought.

Who is the customer in this business model. Does that change the way you might think about prisons that must make a profit? You might argue that it drives efficiency but what does efficiency mean in the context of a prison? Cheaper food f

Sounds simplistic but I found a multivitamin helped me with speed of recall that I noticed creeping up on me.

In retrospect the inability of the empire to hold Singapore against the Japanese in WW2 and leave Australia in the hands of the US was the unraveling of the British empire. The Dutch one as well with the fall of the Dutch East Indies.

I haven’t looked at the code but the collision detection was buggy even back in the day. You have to switch lanes while there is nothing or a donkey in front of you. If the donkey is in the other lane it registers a hit even if it looks l

Amazing how they appear when money is involved. Let’s talk bout AI intellectual property theft on a scale never seen before in human history, or Uber operating illegally until they were able to coerce permission, or the open collusion of r

Gemini has been a hilarious companion to my while I fixed the balance shaft chain guides in my old Mitsubishi triton (mighty max for US readers). First it told me I could just remove said balance shaft chain as an emergency repair. Sorry G

Indian companies just don’t have the contacts and background to access capital in the way that “yeh we went to school together” that opens more doors. It often seems like VC is designed to keep the idiot sons of the aristocracy occupied ra

The old HTC One M8 used to fill this niche but they might be too old to use on the daily any more. I’ve been thinking of digging mine out, the headphone output was great

I assume there are shortcuts like extending the service life of particular consumables and whatnot. Even something like a Gripen, designed to be run from makeshift airfields needs 10 hours of maintenance per hour of flight. Maybe it’s just

This is a fundamental misreading of self described “conservatives”. They only pay lip service to economic liberalism because it gives them something to rally around. It’s always been more about prejudice and punishment. If you want proof,
