I thought you were making a reference to Six Sigma and their distinguished Black Belts. Like, who knows what they call themselves today? My apologies to the beautiful people of Recyclon for the unflattering comparison.
> The name isn't really that much of a problem. I know you are explaining in earnest but the way you ended and formatted it is sooo (un?)intentionally funny. Like, of all the stunts Binface is pulling, the name is the…
There is no opposition in this round because it is a total farce initiated by Farage. It takes two to tango and no one else (other than Count Binface) is dancing Farage's Doofus Dance. If Farage wins, he will face the…
Lol. Four-ish years ago I stopped cheaping out on house-brand pasta and bought Barilla. It was immediately a very obvious step-up in quality I can no longer keep cheaping out on. Then they made some very slopjob AI ads.…
Non, du verstehst es falsch, mon amigo. According to EU standards (of which the Brits are no longer a part of) sugar bags (empty) should weigh exactly a pound each to withstand all and any shipping conditions.
That depends. Is the spaghetti made of pure Italian semolina or some bastardized all-purpose flour-based dough? Also, the cut thickness matters as well as how much you salted the water to boil it AND for how long you…
> It's totally plausible to me that this kind of nudge will save a lot of lives. Probable especially if it gets drunk drivers off the road but I, for one, would be deeply uncomfortable driving knowing my every twitch is…
I have but only to cache data used by cron/bg jobs. We still had Redis for an actual platform system cache. The thing is that Redis cache was created and managed by some framework middleware so it did not seem right to…
As I don't want to repeat myself, with emphasis added: > No Silver Bullet, No Free Lunch, and all that. If your problem domain really warrants something outside of relational storage, you're gonna pay that complexity…
I can no longer edit my comment above so I'm just leaving this here, picking you arbitrarily out of the handful that addressed my filesystem suggestion: I am being sarcastic to show what a ridiculous idea it is to…
I'll do you one better: do you really need Postgres and all these extensions when you already have a filesystem? > only after pushing Postgres to its limits, documenting why it was insufficient, and accepting the…
This analogy is disingenuous because by comparing the human brain to the machine, it ignores _scale_. Scale is absolutely important in copyright law. As a matter of fact, copyright law is among the various profound…
IANAL (plus a whole suite of other caveats) but torrent-baiting works in Germany along these lines. ISPs and trigger-happy law firms don't send you a C&D for downloading a torrent, they do so for seeding a torrent. It's…
> What's next is more AI spam-slop. I already noticed this on youtube. I hope not but your observation on YouTube is spot-on. It's really frustrating. I've managed to keep good hygiene for my shorts feed. I practice…
My problem with AI is the sheer variance of its stupid-smart spectrum. While it's true that human intelligence is not deterministic or predictable, the inconsistency exists in a much narrower band of variance which…
Out of curiosity which markets exactly do you see with a positive AI outlook? Also, I think you are downplaying the "anglophone" social media backlash too much for a couple reasons. _Anglophone_ social media is huge,…
Yeah I think if we are looking at it through that lens, the problem is in the term _intelligence_ in itself. Psychology and biology could not even pinpoint what exactly makes for _intelligence_. There isn't really a…
Fair enough. Mobile and social became ubiquitous and are now table stakes. But my problem with VR and blockchain---even allowing for the fact/assumption that they are still relevant---is that they never lived up to…

But _AI today_ is heavily subsidized by investor capital in the same way investors subsidized social/mobile/big data/VR/blockchain in the past. It's not unlikely "AI" would get a soft taboo in the same way as if you…
Who clicked on this thread looking for career advice??? This discussion is not what I was expecting when I clicked on this thread. What's with the sudden obsession about the field having to be lucrative first? Where's…
And if yomomma had balls, she'd be yopoppa. Puh-lease. Unity's "hara-kiri" was in 2023 by which time Godot was NINE years old. Hara-kiri or no hara-kiri Godot has shown longevity and relevance. Anything gained from…
All fair points. I did not consider inventory tracking but yeah it's not likely to be the killer feature that would tide restaurant owners for one form factor or the other. That said, I have a _feeling_ (I cannot…
It's cringey because it's thoughtless contrarian points. Like, really, how do digital menus provide more details? The lack of detail is not a problem of analog vs digital but from whoever decided on what goes in the…
But if $DAYJOB actually keeps you from your dying kid's bedside, is it still there to "sustain" it? Or is it just leeching into your life?
