It’s not as bad as that time they permanently deleted user documents and photos.

See they had this trick where if you didn’t have enough space on your drive to unpack an update, they’d just move your shit to OneDrive temporarily, then move it back when the update was done. Only they forgot to move it back, and lost it. Oops.

Why spend money when new github accounts are free?

There’s a free one in my Cricut app, I wonder if it works the same way…

That’s watts, not watt hours though, so it’s like microwaving something for a little under an hour, which is unrelatable for most people.

But take your 300 watt gaming PC, play on it for 3 hours, suddenly you’re at 900 watt hours and that’s probably easier to picture for most people.

Who the hell measures energy in joules?

That’s a little under 1kWh. Or playing your gaming PC for 3 hours.

Broadband reached rural communities.

You see, the jet stream used to be a mostly horizontal line.

But now, the jet stream is more… “Jeremy Bearimy”.

Ask any old farmer about “hardiness zones”, they’ve been creeping northwards for decades.

The loadmaster forgot to properly strap the fuel in.

Yeah I’m not buying the “proactively destroying the planet” angle. I’d imagine there’s a lot of misinformation around AI, given that the products surrounding it are mostly Western, like vaccines…

It’s like having an idiot employee that works for free. Depending on how you manage them, that employee can either do work to benefit you or just get in your way.

I create custom embedded devices with displays and I’ve found it very useful for laying things out. Like asking it to take secondly wind speed and direction updates and build a Wind Rose out of it, with colored sections in each petal denoting the speed… it makes mistakes but then you just go back and reiterate on those mistakes. I’m able to do so much more, so much faster.

Still remember that girl in my high school (Canada) that drew me a pie chart to explain why her family left China, and said the big 99% part of the pie was called “Han Chinese”, and the little 1% part was her and her family.

Vendor/supplier-only relationships are pretty common in the industry, unfortunately.

But it’s SPI, so get a USB logic analyzer and with some LLM help you might be able to reverse engineer the thing. Maybe borrowing info with other Pixart chips?

Literally from the article you’re commenting on:

These groups of white nationalists “focus on physical recruitment and combat training in preparation for eventual violent confrontation,” according to an internal government report, first reported by CBC News.

“But why hasn’t CBC News personally driven a van to my house and shouted this information into my bedroom window?”

Whether or not my game manager was built using LLM assistance is pretty near the bottom on my list of concerns at the moment.

Considering how useful tools like Claude are to coding, and how easy it is to hide the fact that you’ve used it, I just assume any and all new software I interact with was built using LLM tools.

It’s also why functioning democracy is important, so that the working class actually do control the state, and not the party elite. Otherwise you end up with a state (and its press) that exists to serve itself, and not the working class, like we have in China right now.

My local store instead had to discount them to 25 cents each. And that’s when I started buying them up!

That’s what happened to me and Oreo’s during the switch from soy oil to trans-fat-free oils. They were NASTY during that transition.
