  • Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot

    Jump

  • I've also used it successfully for those kinds of special cases - particularly translating complicated medical documents back and forth to Japanese due to my wife's treatment.

    But I think the caution here is overreliance. Using it in a university setting, where you feed it everything you were supposed to read and understand, and having it write down all the analysis that you were meant to analyze, and what have you personally gained as a result? The article cites students who couldn't even recall what they'd "written" after submitting an assignment.

    You can use it as a tool, or you can use it as a crutch. If you outsource your whole thought process to a computer, I can see the detriment.

  • I'm not convinced Lichess ratings are as inflated as people say compared to chess.com

    Jump

  • I'm 1507 on chess.com and just north of 1700 on Lichess, so in my case the common wisdom holds.

  • ‘It’s pathetic’: Trump’s ICE recruitment drive is stalling as new hires can’t pass basic fitness test, report says

    Jump

  • Tried to goosestep but all they managed was a waddle

  • Ultraconservative Sanae Takaichi on track to become Japan’s first female prime minister

    Jump

  • Yes, socially. But also a weird flavor of Japanese conservatism economically. She supports strong economic interventionism, massive stimulus funded by additional debt, cash distribution, etc. Not at all a free market type.

  • Ah yes the famous hook cooler!

    Jump

  • Industry-leading thermal management and gluten development in a single cost-effective package.

    If you haven't kneaded dough at 1550 RPM, you've been missing out. What are you waiting for? Buy this masterpiece.

  • Grand Theft Auto made him a legend. His latest game was a disaster

    Jump

  • You're completely right. It sounds from the article like they flailed around a lot trying to figure out what that could be before settling for "do what you know."

    A huge amount of time and energy wasted without a clear vision, and then they fell into the trap of trying to chase the success of other games.

  • New $1 US coins to feature Steve Jobs and Cray-1 supercomputer — US Mint's 2026 American Innovation Program to memorialize computing history

    Jump

  • He's clearly saying he doesn't think Jobs was related to Cray. The double negative is likely unintentional and English is not everyone's first language.

  • "The tide is turning..."

    Jump

  • I'm not optimistic either, but I'm personally on board. My congressman is a pro-genocide stooge and will never, ever receive my vote.

    All each of us can do is to talk to our friends and family and try to get them to draw the same line in the sand. No vote for anyone who takes AIPAC's blood money. No "lesser evil" bullshit when it comes to genocide, period.

  • Eleven killed after Israel hits bus in Gaza, Hamas-run civil defence says

    Jump

  • They are savages. They kill children for sport.

  • What next for Andrew? His dukedom and titles explained – and is he still a prince?

    Jump

  • And he is just one of probably dozens or more powerful people escaping consequences.

  • Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily

    Jump

  • I actually went with Tuxedo OS, which is based on the Ubuntu kernel but has a very noob-friendly desktop environment.

    My daily driver laptop is a 12-year-old Hackintosh MBP that I've been repairing for years, but I've priced out a Tuxedo laptop for when it finally kicks the bucket. So I started dual booting Tuxedo on that as well to get my bearings.

    Once I'm a little more experienced, I'm definitely interested to check out other distros! Right now it's a lot of looking up terminal commands and learning the architecture. The firmware fan control in the MacBook is shot - fans blasting at full speed due to a failed GPU temp sensor that makes the computer assume it's overheating - so I've already learned how to write to /sys/ with a custom fan control based on the working sensor in the CPU die.

    It's been really fun so far. You get the sense of just having vastly greater control over the hardware at a low level and the ability to control how it functions in a way that Windows and MacOS completely obfuscate. I still have very little idea what I'm doing in the terminal, but I'm starting to pick it up.

  • xkcd #3156: Planetary Rings

    Jump

  • Well Rhode Island is famously tiny so I doubt it's a problem

  • Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game - Official Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • I mean, the screen adaptations are all disasters in themselves, so there's not a good track record there either.

    Personally, I'd rather it just be left as a great animated show and to see companies stop trying to milk an IP where the show ended 17 years ago. We really don't need cash-grab mobile games, fighting games, mediocre beat-em-up games, or either of the live-action adaptations.

  • Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily

    Jump

  • This is why I decided to dual-boot Ubuntu and Win10 until I'm fully comfortable on Linux. Every single thing about Win11 just makes my skin crawl.

    Last week it was the news that they're eliminating methods to install the OS at all without being signed into a MS account. The degree of snooping had no plausible explanation other than for Microsoft to harvest and sell your data.

  • Australia's Queensland reverses policy, pledges to keep using coal power

    Jump

  • Renewable energy would "blight the landscape"? As compared to coal?

  • kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel / Destroying the Internet

    Jump

  • As far as science channels go, you've got SpaceTime for college students, Veritasium for high schoolers, and Kurzgesagt for newborn infants or maybe a smart dog. It's probably at about the right level if you want to explain science to an Australian Shepherd.

  • The US government is run by the most childish fascists imaginable

    Jump

  • It should say "shut down," because they need a verb phrase. "Shutdown" is the noun form. So it's childish, yes, but also just plain stupid.

  • Greta Thunberg arrested by Israeli forces after military boards aid flotilla headed for Gaza – Middle East crisis live

    Jump

  • Again.

  • TIL in the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla nine activists were killed by Israeli forces.

    Jump

  • "Five had gunshot wounds to the head and at least four were shot from both back and front. According to the UNHRC report, six of the people on the flotilla showed signs of 'summary execution,', including two shot after they were severely injured."
