...as yet another example of potentially dangerous micro-plastics, once it is dumped into a stream or the sea, and it travels through the food chain to humans.
Don't worry about the polyurethane in this material--you'll be too busy eating polyurethane from foam mattresses and cushions.
What does the extra utility take away? It's literally offering more input options.
The first is that people might have to pay for this feature even if they don't want it. Apple always shoves its designs down people's throats. But the real problem is that it may cause idiots to touch my screen instead of my mouse.
The matte coating decreases contrast. People like contrasty displays, and most people don't use them outside. I wouldn't be surprised if matte coatings also reduce the resolution on high resolution displays significantly.
OpenAI's models, and most of the LLMs, are trained at least in part by having humans rate their conversations. That's what the "chat" in chatGPT stands for. Humans apparently rate chat partners that make up truthy sounding stuff more highly than chat partners that admit they don't know.
That's a useful finding for a company that makes LLMs. It should be an interesting observation for people who talk to other people too.
I'm sure he does. You can buy an induction heater that will be happy to melt steel for $20 off Aliexpress. There are lots of DIY plans for them too, although I doubt you could beat that $20.
E.g. https://www.instructables.com/...
The claim that you can't get things hot enough with induction is ridiculous. Induction is what you use when cheap old gas isn't hot enough. If you want even hotter, you use microwaves.
I don't believe you that anyone bitched about the loss of the floppy drive.
Too young maybe? Releasing an iMac without a floppy drive had much the same impact as releasing an iPhone without a 3.5" headphone jack. A lot of the old articles have disappeared, and apparently the Slashdot comments, but e.g.
https://apple.slashdot.org/sto...
https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
There were a LOT of articles written about it. Tech journalist careers were made.
Sure. Lots of people use DB-9 serial ports and even some parallel ports too. There's apparently even some Firewire stuff still around.
Doesn't mean we need them on every laptop.
There are different kinds of surveys. Established government survey programs in general, and the US Current Employment Statistics survey specifically, aren't usually just a random phone call. The CES is something a business agrees to do once a month for a period of time. For small businesses that seems to be about 3 years, and for large ones it's more indefinite.
It is voluntary, but the alternative is to make it compulsory. The montly CES is voluntary but quarterly reporting is not. Censuses and some census related surveys are usually compulsory but more frequent surveys are usually voluntary.
Somone quite possibly made a living bitching about the loss of the 3.5" headphone jack, and possibly DB9, parallel, floppy drives, optical drives, firewire, PS2 keyboard and mouse ports, micro USB, VGA, s-video, composite, RJ14, S/PDIF and PCMCIA.
It's always good fodder for an article or a Slashdot story.
Yes, airline pilots associations are well known for not caring much about safety, it's true. Also, have you heard the one about the pizza parlour basement?
Cows... have testicles.
No they don't.
You mean like exactly what happened decades ago since Americans long since stopped wanting to do this low paying work? Oh, it turns out machines don't just magically invent themselves when needed.
Lettuce harvesting machines did in fact get invented when the need and the economic justification arose.
Better? Or are you going to claim that you literally meant "invent themselves" so you're still technically not wrong?
Ah yes, just what the world needs. Another dick measuring who-can-plant-their-flag-first race. Except this time without innovation!
Who says this change will be painless? But besides that, I'm not qualified to address general inequality. But consider that in this economic system, with all its faults, almost everybody can afford the basic necessities and some nice things like electronics. The same cannot be said for the fairer systems, because fairness causes shortages.
I'm not sure how that scenario would follow from what I suggested. I think you left out too many assumptions and implications.
