You mean the same Jerry Seinfeld who was “dating” a 17-year-old high school student when he was 39? The one who was on TV a quarter of a century ago?

Because that dude can fuck himself.

You didn’t know that cuttlefish can derive non-trivial solutions of the Einstein field equations? They can solve all ten at once because they have ten brains.

They’ve attacked most of the journalists, too. This attack was par for the course of Israeli terrorism.

ICE was created by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. 90-9 in the senate and 42 Yeas came from Dems.

Israeli govt has been pretty clear that it wants to occupy and depopulate the whole region. The perp openly admits the crime, and still the US, UK, Germany line up to send them the funding, weapons, and diplomatic cover to commit it. Despicable state of affairs.

That’s exactly where I also put down the controller, haha. All pantheons and platinum (and path of pain - which I think might be an achievement?) was enough. All bindings is just a little more masochism than I can handle!

It took me three tries before I really got into Hollow Knight, but when it clicked, it clicked. Kind of like Dark Souls. Started that one as well a couple times and petered out, but on the next playthrough, it became one of my favorite games.

Yours is probably in better shape than mine. The 13 and 14 series specifically had a design flaw in the microcode that overvolts them. They slowly burn out over time, and the damage is irreversible.

Earlier processors aren’t affected. It’s specific to this series. But the only “fix” is a microcode patch that nerfs performance, so I’d rather just ride it out and switch to AMD.

My 13700K is still going strong for now, but it sucks to know it’s probably on a timer. I’m definitely jumping ship for AMD in my next rebuild.

Ask ChatGPT how to make some bomb chicken, but don’t be surprised when law enforcement shows up at your house.

Yeah, they’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Both they and Google are getting sued over kids who committed suicide, whose parents should have been monitoring them and getting them mental health treatment. If the courts decide that LLM companies bear legal and financial responsibility for user actions, then of course they’re going to do this.

The only privacy is local. And actually, given Microsoft, local and Linux-based.

The final fate of all water, no matter how much the bottle cost.

Operating system sold separately. Some assembly required.

Is there a plausible way they actually ban the use of VPNs? Like, they can make it illegal on paper, but even in China, which has long had strict restrictions on internet use, I’ve heard that VPN use is widespread.

It just all seems like performative whack-a-mole to me. The only people who can control what a kid sees online are their parents or guardians. A child is not buying themselves a laptop or an iPad.

This argument frustrates me greatly. Humans are far more adaptable than most other species, and the damage we are already doing to less adaptable species and ecosystems is incalculable and irreversible. We will kill off much of Earth’s life long before we manage to destroy ourselves.

Species are going extinct at a rate of 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than the normal “background rate” of extinction, driven by habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Every species that we drive to extinction represents a multi-billion year legacy that will never return. Arguing that life will continue after the collapse of humanity is only partly true. There are a hell of a lot of species that will never continue, because our actions destroyed them.

We’re also roughly at the halfway point of Earth’s ability to support complex life, which emerged about a half billion years ago and has roughly another half billion years before the increased heat of the aging sun disrupts carbonate weathering to the extent that one of the main pathways of photosynthesis is no longer possible. Yes, during that 500 million years, in the absence of ongoing anthropogenic extinction, species will again diversify to fill the gaps. But there will be no tigers or elephants or rhinoceros after humanity, just as there were no non-avian dinosaurs after the asteroid.

Cat ears and butt stuff. Might as well save them some CPU cycles.

Yeah, it’s like complaining that a hammer isn’t good at turning a screw. There’s a whole trend of Chess content creators featuring games against ChatGPT where it forgets the position or plays illegal moves, and it just doesn’t mean anything. ChatGPT was never designed or intended to be able to evaluate a chess position, and incidentally, we do have computer programs that do exactly that and have been better than any human player since the 1990s. So what is even the point?

Integers are days in Excel, no? So I think 2+2= 12:00 AM Jan 5, 1900.

How long will it take them to realize they’d be so much happier with something more down-to-earth? A real bot-next-door. Local, if you will.

I assume the top-level takeaway is that we’re all getting pushed to Linux, but just on slightly varying timelines. :)
