> They missed a chance to have the lady holding an iPad though. Yeah this was a big miss. Farmers typically don't bring laptops out into the field, but tablets are extremely common. Tablets aren't nearly as susceptible…
That is RealTree camo, not military camo. And it's really not a crop field? I'm guessing this is AI-generated. It's odd. It looks like a backyard garden, because you have mixed greens with kale, plentiful weeds, and…
Maybe off topic, but I think part of the problem is toilet paper. Sure, maybe some people are out there dropping 5 Curic logs every couple of days. But I've more commonly seen (Disclaimer: Low sample size here, I just…
I think there is a subtle additional level of trust that the author didn't call out. As the author noted, the SVP trusted that everyone involved in the issue responded rationally and professionally. But they left out…
One intriguing use I encountered was a doctor who automatically transcribed the conversation during an appointment. This has HIPAA concerns, of course, and I think (hope, at least) that this was in the context of…
I remember Apple products being the realm of graphics designers, videographers, and other art professionals back in the XP days. I thought they went mainstream later, as Windows Vista coincided with the iPhone release.
These stories scare me. I'm happy that you were able to enjoy glimpses of your mother's past. Mine is showing signs that several of us believe to be dementia, but she refuses to be seen and screened. It has gotten worse…
I'm actually with you. Having read some of Wendell Berry's work, he comes across to me as an impractical dreamer. Not only do his ideals not scale to support humanity, but he refuses to acknowledge the external impact…
> that never meant us any harm This is absurdly false. I think the war with Iran is not justified. It is a waste of money, a waste of human life, and a waste of our world influence. But there are many in Iran who…
Ditto. My experience with AWS support has been generally disappointing.
I don't think so, no. It does not appear to be functioning as an OSX device driver. It's just hosting a network print server in docker.
Yes, I no longer pay extra money for Logitech. If the quality is as bad as a cheap offbrand from China, why wouldn't I pay less for the cheap offbrand? I'm glad to pay for quality, but Logitech no longer seems to offer…
Yep. If you had the CPU overhead available, you could speed up your entire computer by enabling full-disk compression and then defragmenting. It's difficult to accurately describe just how slow it was to move data to…
There's a set of lights in the lower left-hand edge and on the very upper right-hand edge. When it's time to select a mission look for the yellow arrow near those lights. Hitting the lights lets you select a mission.…
Right or wrong, there are a lot of people who treat guys differently based on what they drive. In a corporate office there is social pressure to drive something that fits your role. Can you ignore that pressure? Of…
Microsoft Trusted Signing only tells me you were able to get a key. If this is intended to be an open source project, transparency would go a long way. The source code and actual history will make a big difference. If…
The normal corolla does not have a turbo at all. Besides the turbo, the GR Corolla has a completely different engine, different transmission, all wheel drive, limited slip transaxle and differential, and completely…
This reeks of likely malware. - Fake commit history - No source code, despite being hosted on github - Windows-only binaries available for download If I weren't on my work computer I would pull down those binaries to…
That is not a modern Corolla iM. The iM had about 130hp. The GR has 300. The iM had comfortable, "sensible Corolla" suspension. The GR has race suspension. This is not a "basically stock" corolla. It's actually a really…
I've wanted a Porsche my entire life. Doesn't have to be a track monster - actually, I'd prefer a lower-powered one. I want the handling of a Boxster, but a truly fast car is only fun on the track. When I was young, I…
There are new hybrids available for $30k. There are new vehicles available for $22k. There are reasonable used vehicles available for $10k. The problem with the Slate isn't that cheaper vehicles exist. The problem with…
I completely agree. A base Prius is $30k. A base Kia Niro is $27k. Those are hybrids and not EV's, but 50+mpg is not bad. Those also come with power windows and many other features and creature comforts that the Slate…
This is nitpicky (and it supports your point, I'm not arguing): Colocated data centers became a commodity decades ago. Currently they are a scarce commodity that's in high demand, but I agree with you that this will…
During his tenure, yes. Volcker remains famous among finance nerds, because it turns out he was right. He caused a recession and risked his own job, but in doing so he successfully reigned in runaway inflation. While…
Just in case this isn't hyperbole, no. It means an LLM should not be given that much privilege and that you are responsible for reviewing the tool's output and approving its actions.
