What's the grift in this video? This is a backup of the one that was taken down: https://archive.org/details/li... Are tutorials using technology you didn't design and build yourself a form a grift?

Have you ever seen the 2018 documentary Active Measures? It does a good job of chronicling Russian attempts to influence US politics.

I wonder if it can search its training data for inconsistencies/misidentified creatures?

Sorry, I'm going to revive the mid 1990s era and use the Chili Pepper font and lots of Earth tones. Maybe throw in a few swirls for buttons and draw a gecko somewhere.

And the recyclability of plastics is a big smokescreen from the plastics industry. Most of it is not recycled because it is not profitable. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/front...

And a lot of plastic is just not economically viable to recycle because it degrades. There's an excellent Frontline documentary on the plastics industry with actual plastics industry documents talking about it all. Even Oregon the country's biggest recycler barely recycles any of the plastics placed into bins.

Frontline made a documentary on the plastics industry that is pretty interesting. It provides interviews with people in the industry and documentation charting out their plan to market economically infeasible recyclables and guilt the consumer into having to do the legwork.

It's mid 2000s lolcat speak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

There's another level under that called, "self-published ebook on Amazon."

Valid criticism. But in this case Apple published the fact that this method would be deprecated over two years ago and has been sending out warnings that people should change to the new API. Spotify has some kind of aversion to updating their codebase. They are still faking shuffling on playlists over 100 songs, and their group playlist function has been broken for at least four years.

I started out as a clean typer at 65+ WPM. For whatever reason I stick to the way typing is taught less and less. And my typing is definitely getting sloppier.

This is the kind of knowledge that comes with a low 6 digit member number.

Signal also works with iMessage without any extra steps. The only bad thing is it just starts working with it. So I was texting my neighbor and he said he stopped getting my messages. It turns out it was because he bought a new iPad that came with iMessage installed so all my texts started arriving there instead of on his phone which did not have iMessage and he didn't use his tablet every day.
