It is not a lie though. WB content is not globally available, Netflix content is. I for one, welcome access to stuff that WB has been sitting on without letting me pay them for it.

I guess you are in the US. For you, WB content was already available. But you see, they never bothered to make that content available for most of the rest of the world. Netflix, on the other hand, is available most anywhere. This is exactly

This is one of the good potential use cases for current gen AI; simulating a scenario again and again and seeing what effect various changes will have on the average outcome... Probably needs an API for having LLMs play with online table to

Late is better than never, right? I'm someone who only uses only these google service: maps, the play store and sometimes, rarely, google books I don't use google search, mail, drive or any other services, I have every single kind

Somehow, considering the bad job humans do with maintaining a population of humans healthy and happy, I find the idea of entrusting control of animal populations to humans bewildering, but then, I was born in Istanbul, and I think our attit

Careful; there's the MX Keys keyboard, which is not a mechanical keyboard, and the MX keys mechanical keyboard, which IS a mechanical keyboard... I have the latter, and as far as I know, it only works wirelessly via receiver or BT.

I have the mx 3s along with the mechanic keyboard, one set each for work and one for home... Extremely stable connection with the bolt receiver, also works with well if I take the laptop home or with my phone if I connect it to my monitor (

It is not necessarily age itself. My father is approaching 80, computer literate since '86, and keeps adapting to whatever new thing comes out, even adapting to fluke versions of windows like 8 or 11... Small note to all frontend peopl

Ten years ago, the largest bookstores in Germany formed an alliance together with Deutsche Telekom and created exactly that. The name is Tolino, there are e-ink ebook readers, designed principally to be the anti-kindle, there is a web reade

That's a weird one for sure. I've seen config files which were valid TCL, I've seen JSON, I've seen bad old INI files... TOML is relatively new after all, but that too... What I never understood are those who looked at a

500 is still generous... If I recall right, the company I work at uses 30 as a threshold.

Deutsche Bank - just about the only real use it has for me is to build a credit history here. If you consider using this bank in Germany and you're not a big business, avoid them like the plague.

My reason for getting a credit card as soon as possible when I moved to Germany, was being able to switch the country of residence of some of my services to Germany, because they only accepted a local credit card as proof of residence here.

So, as someone with considerable Python knowledge but no gamedev knowledge, what would your suggestion be for me? Specifically, I want to have some fun developing a few game ideas into at least prototypes. I never really had time to do a pr

AS far as I'm concerned, the best thing since email was invented is Fastmail. The non-monetary costs of using gmail over a longer period are far higher than paying money for Fastmail. Most importantly, I know I can rely on my email.

My personal favorite: chopped leftover fries into roughly equal sized chunks, reheat in the pan until they're back in shape, then use them to make a lazy spanish omelette. Mind you, keep tossing and stirring them to avoid burning and a

The trick to getting better at putting things into words, is to read more. Particularly, read those whose writing style you would seek to emulate. For this particular case, both the structure of the story and the writing style have room for

Tasks can also be synced over Fastmail servers, though they do not provide a UI for it.

This is was weird to read... I was a Spotify user for a rather long time, but realized that instead of getting better, recommendations got worse, ultimately becoming quite repetitive. I've since ditched them, now using Deezer. The diff

I'm not sure if it is a copyright filter at this point. After numerous simple tries to get it to recite the litany, I asked for the inscription on the one ring, just as straightforward. No hesitation, no wait, recited the whole thing,

Darkreader seems to always induce a noticeable performance hit on each computer I've ran it on for some reason when I run it with the default settings. I may try your whitelist method instead and give it another chance...

If you don't follow a lot of subreddits, then they regularly pester you to follow some, or a stupid live stream of something or the other, or other similar stuff designed to increase "engagement". I hate engagement.

I already know about the efforts about AI alignment - this is the reason I'm afraid about natural stupidity. I really do not want to see the alignment issue solved in my lifetime.

To be frank, I'm not afraid of AI, I'm afraid of the exact opposite - natural stupidity. This story clearly shows that too - "algorithm trained to prioritize scoring points tries to do so at any cost" It's not even

It is disheartening to see what is essentially a tool of censorship sponsored by supposedly free countries. The stated purpose is irrelevant, it is naive to assume any tool of surveillance, once created, will be used solely as intended.
