Makes you wonder what they’re going to do with all this hardware they’re buying? I hope that they (the ultra rich) are the ones to hold the bag for once in their lives.

Just kidding, they’ll probably get a bailout from our (US) corrupt government.

I had to stop using them as much. I used to like using them but now the AI alarms are too high.

Now I write like a maniac, go reflect my souls better. Also, I’m making more friends with the semicolon.

That’s the way people should be looking at it. It basically means hard crashes are extremely rare in the firefox ecosystem.

To be fair, I can’t remember the last time a browser crashed on me in general.

To be fair to Cash for Clunkers, the intent was to get people on better gas efficiency cars, not to downgrade people to worse cars. California policy is the one that mandated cameras on newer cars, but also to be fair there it does reduce incidents of crashing during reverse.

I think Microsoft shouldn’t really be making plans around windows based on the state of the government today and should be concerned with how it changes just 6 months from now.

Not sure how they could be confident in the idea of selling hardware to users right now, considering even the cost of thin clients is stupidly high.

Maybe there’s something I’m missing here.

Oh man, I loved the opening and ending to Zeta gundam which it turns out he wrote. Rest in peace my friend.

Shouldn’t a wishlist mean that it isn’t shipped at all though? Why would wishlisting expose your home address?

No way, not my buddy!

The world’s first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

I’ve not see anything but hand wavy “add a layer of clear coat” for sealing.

Hmm, maybe I’m mistaken but is this not pretty sound advice? Or is the implication that you want this paint job to be matte and coarse (in which case, clear coat to start and perhaps sanding after a few paint coats?)

Otherwise, I wish I could help, I don’t have much experience printing PLA.

Exactly. This is really just hedging their bets. They know the carpet is being pulled and now they’re in the bargaining phase. (This plus Jensen asking people to be nicer about AI shlock.)

Alternative Advice: Buy up old used mini-pcs if hardware is too expensive. Don’t buy AWS unless you actually need cloud services (i.e. you’re hosting a website).

I won’t say VPSs don’t have their utility, but anyone framing it as an alternative to owning a PC is completely DeLuLu and need their head examined.

Will the AI still flame me if I ask the wrong question?

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Real talk though, it is concerning when it feels like 3/5 times you ask AI something, you’ll get a completely hair brained answer back. SO will probably need to clamp down non-logged in browsing and enforce API limits to make sure that AI trainers are paying for the data they need.

Right,

But just because it was a standard doesn’t mean it made sense as a standard. So when 99% of applications don’t care to adopt the standard, it really only makes sense to let the application space decide what to do with middle click and to fall back on the user’s system configuration if it’s unspecified (which can still be paste if you want it to be imo)

As someone who likes the middle-click to do mouse relative scrolling, I would be OK with this being configurable on a per-application level.

I don’t think it really makes sense as a “standard”. Blender will never use middle click as paste, for example.

Sort of? It seems to me that Darpa has only been able to transfer about 800 watts over a 5 mile distance. A nuclear power plant produces something, like, 500 megawatts? This wouldn’t be enough to justify the power production at that scale, not to mention I’m skeptical of any wireless solution that wouldn’t drop some energy efficiency and it would obviously require constant visibility which would also need manned guidance.

If this weren’t Elon musk, I would say producing liquid hydrogen wouldn’t be a terrible way to at least save unused power, but then you have a whole different host of problems.

Stupidest plan ever. How exactly do they plan to send the power to orbiting space systems? And who is going to operate and maintain the systems?

Pretty suspicious that Rob Reiner was out there talking to hollywood figures about anti-trump motions that the film industry could take and then, suddenly, he’s found dead a few days later.

I mean, you know, I’m not a conspiracy theorist. So I’ll just say it’s quite the co-ween-ki-dink.

nobody is forcing Olivia Dean to use Ticketmaster

sigh I really really wish you were right about this, but I think you’re grossly overlooking one important detail.

Ticketmaster is owned by a company called LiveNation. LiveNation paritially owns or signed licenses to almost every single large venue. If you’re a big band, you’ll unfortunately need a large venue and the only company able to provide that service in most of the United States (ignoring Los Angeles, New York, or other huge metro areas) is LiveNation.

So the gambit that Ticket Master has employed: 1 - Bail out almost every huge stadium with financial investment, but with intent to sign a special license which gives them ticket priority (so LiveNation gets the tickets first) 2 - Sell these tickets on TicketMaster, with 1/4th being intentionally given to ticket resellers with the intent of inflating the market (each transaction on the “used” market is actually redirected to TicketMaster).

I’ve looked and in my city (Portland, Oregon) there’s only a 2 venues that are large enough for a popular artist to play at that aren’t owned or invested into by live nation, and these venues might not always be appropriate for acoustic needs. You can read more about this here but, to put a point on it, I actually don’t think artists are to blame for needing to sell tickets on ticket master due to how hard it is to find a large venue in every city across the United States. Otherwise, you’ll end up paying ticket master more for venue access anyway, from my understanding. Granted, all of this is hard to know for sure, as you’d actually have to have experience with managing a multi-million dollar band or singer to really understand the scope of the problem here.
