I put a bowl out once. The first kid that came emptied the whole lot into his bag and I had nothing left. So now I keep it inside and if they don’t knock it’s their loss and I get treats.

I don’t trust Bryan Lunduke as a source. He fell into QAnon conspiracy-type stuff and MAGA politics. Not a sign of good judgment.

Once again ordinary people in the West are saved from affordable, low-pollution living, and Western companies are saved from having to compete.

You know what they meant by the first one. The second one is about people not being interested in dumb products like the Logitech AI mouse. Corporations are all jamming AI into their products and marketing materials not because users like it (they don’t) but because they hope it will attract investors. So AI is more interesting to investors than to people who don’t want it in their mouse.

Many of our home customers’ feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks.

I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.

They’re even doing an eager supervillain hand rub in the photo, delighting in the pain they’re about to inflict.

Was their office under a rock somewhere? How had none of them stumbled upon what every other programmer in the world does?

The problem is that Librewolf’s continued existence depends on Firefox continuing to exist. And while I like Vivaldi (but not its closed-sourceness), if all browsers end up being Chromium-based, Google still has an effective monopoly on web standards.

It’s just about marketing. People don’t know about what they don’t hear about, and the wealthier companies can make sure people hear about them. There’s no budget for that with regular Fediverse sites.

$20 per month would be enough to discourage me. It’s another relatively costly computer-related subscription and I already feel like I’m losing a battle to keep those minimal. There would have to be some very clear benefits for that price.

But it’s glitchy, the numbers don’t work, and you’ll notice the player never looks behind them.

I watched the video and there are two scenes where the player turns to look directly back where they just came from.

Every company is still doing this even though studies have shown it puts customers off.

If it works like most AI ad engines, it will keep advertising more of the same Ford car you just bought.

As I understand it, that project spanned several planned generations of chips and this was to be the first of them. So yes, this is part of the cancellation of his whole project.

It’s wise to wait and see, given their recent history.

Maybe I’m a bad programmer, or maybe I’m just busy and tired, but honestly I don’t often care enough to investigate until I need to build something similar.

They’re looking for something open-source. Draw.io’s readme says:

I haven’t been through the license to see what its restrictions are, but there must be a reason they give this warning.

At the bottom of the article there’s a tapestry of an NVIDIA graphics chip created on a computer-controlled loom.

Yes. They just don’t want the AI being trained on its own excrement.
