  • Absolutely not. These are all massive human rights violations and none of them should be disregarded in favor of any other one. And the participants and benefactors of Epstein's island should all be severely punished. There is no amount of wag the dog that will change the fact that children were routinely sexually abused for blackmail on the rich and powerful.

  • Trump looks increasingly desperate to restrict voting rights

  • It is strictly NOT an ID. It is an account number. Your bank account number is not an ID either. This is the same idea, except ID is what it is being used for.

  • SSN are not an ID. Well they aren't meant to be an ID. It's just a number assigned to every citizen eligible for an account with the Social Security Administration. It just so happens that this is a convenient, unique number that every citizen has to use to get a job (employees pay into social security with each pay check) so it's been used to identify people by their numbers.

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • Far and away, business is the primary use case for PCs, education second, art and design art likely third, and gaming (while always growing) is still niche use case for PCs worldwide.

    At best, gaming has over taken media consumption as a PC task but I think that has more to do with media becoming primarily, a mobile device activity in the last decade.

  • Linux in California is in deep trouble.

    Jump

  • This is the exact same thing as the law that makes products world wide say this product contains materials that may cause cancer according to the state of California. It's a nothing burger. It will be a very minor inconvenience and a joke that people harp on about for decades to come.

  • Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives

  • God damn these comments are bleak.

  • there is a special place in hell for these scientists

    Jump

  • Maybe. That's certainly not my field of experience. But LLMs will never produce thought the way a human brain does. Certainly not without substantial change in how the tech functions fundamentally.

  • Large language models are not intelligent. They are predictive text applications with massive dictionaries of circumstantial sentence structures to choose from. Nothing more. They do not feel and do not think for themselves. The only time they do anything is when the API calls them to produce more text with an updated context string.

  • Ah, the Mr Bean approach.

  • Google settles with Epic Games, drops its Play Store commissions to 20%

  • Just go into the store. They'll sign you up.

  • You can tell the cat has true freedom because he measures in inches.

  • I'd rather a simple "no thanks"

  • This is how they've done rejections for the last 25 years. Form letters. Not AI in this case. Also waayyyyy better than being ghosted. When you're ghosted, you have no idea if they saw your application or if they're still considering or what. There's an anxiety that a job offer could come through after you accept another offer and what if they offer a bit more money? It becomes a whole thing. Honestly, I'd rather receive an actual AI rejection than be ghosted.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

  • Good lord

  • Ehhh I deploy a lot of these thin and light machines in place of desktops. The goal is to use a dock and have the IO that is needed at a desk but also have the portability of the small laptop that can do work remotely. The benefit is that you don't have to remote into your work PC.

  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • You should probably look into him more than you have. He's a Christian but he's definitely not a Christian nationalist.

  • Do you still use compact discs?

  • I mentioned it to my partner the other day but medical contraceptive packaging looks remarkably similar to how storage media was packaged in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

    Take the logos off and play a game of DVDs or Plan B?

  • Why are you like this?

    Jump

  • Because a lot of software will refuse to run in a VM for security reasons. Testing software is very likely to be one of those.
