the "general purpose PC that can also dabble in some gaming" is becoming less common.
It was left behind by the technology. When a decent GPU was only 10-20% of the cost of the system, no big deal. Now it's more like 50%.
No laws or or other words on a piece of paper are going to stop companies from outsourcing to AI.
Right, it's going to take Jihad.
Capitalism is about the Free Market (Free as in choice) not ruling.
False. Free Market is only one kind of Capitalism. Further, there has never actually been a free market of any significant size. It's an ideal which can only be approached, and ironically, it requires regulation to do so.
"I think I'm deeply uncomfortable with these decisions being made by a few companies, by a few people," Amodei told Anderson Cooper in a "60 Minutes" episode that aired Sunday. "Like who elected you and Sam Altman?" asked Anderson. "No one. Honestly, no one," Amodei replied.
When you get control of the money, you get control of the means of production. That's literally what capitalism is for.
Cursive is shit though and people should stop using it. If we're only keeping it around for signatures we should just learn to accept doing them without. They can learn fine motor skills in an art class.
I'm curious, what military application does Voyager serve?
Communications development.
If it doesn't have military applications then it doesn't get funded.
Keeping it going costs peanuts compared to the PR.
Admitting that I made the same mistake elsewhere years ago, one cannot factor a "largest prime number".
Insert simpsons meme here: Largest prime number so far. A native English speaker would understand this to be the meaning unless they were trying really hard to be obtuse.
It's just how they organize it. You wouldn't say NASA is a military organization because its funding is authorized by congress that also authorizes military spending, or because the president is also the Commander in Chief.
No, I'd say NASA is a military organization because it exists first and foremost to support our military. Anyone who believes differently has proven their vulnerability to gaslighting. Our spaceflight projects all have direct military applications.
Microsoft keeps claiming they're changing and then I keep seeing new ads for functionality I don't want to use pop up to distract me while I'm trying to work, and yes this is a locked down work environment where an effort has been made to turn all of that shit off. But you fire up Teams after some trivial update and it wants to tell you how you could use AI in it, no I am literally never going to do that on purpose. If Microsoft has changed it's only that they're adding more gaslighting.
Jesus fucking Christ. I didn't know every incel was going to get all philosophical.
It's easier than washing one's balls.
If you legalized drugs, how cheap would they be?
hah, never had power loss long enough make fridge warm or affect ability to work from home since I just tether off phone and use laptop battery. Com Ed gets that power up fast, they don't like to lose money either. Don't recall any price increase after the two times in 13 years that's happened at my current residence. In fact from 2010 to now it's gone from 13 cents per kilowatt-hour to 15 cents per kWh in late 2024. Talk about inflation proof! It' why I consider any whining about their greed to be utter BS. They're doing a great job.
You claimed internet / telecom had nothing to do with power grid. Then lose your mind when someone calls you out on that false statement. It is absolutely dependent on the power grid.
also people popping them like candy and doctors enabling it, even for viral diseases without test for bacterial or fungal infection.
Rickettsial still gets destroyed by normal tetracyclines.
Brucellosis is treated by rifampicin not a tretracycline. Any superbugs,, and yes there are some, are the fault of something else than farming. Is your information super dated?
spirochetal infections have the preferred treatments of doxycycline yes but also there are alternatives like colistin, penicillin, or ceftriaxone.
Good ol' chlamydia, on the decline now for two years, no superbugs yet but it's being watched.
The whole conversation is not to lose our shit over farm animal antibiotics, it's not the problem.
If it's tied to stock performance, is actual revenue incidental due to short squeezes, momentum, expectations, and other irrational factors that make your attempt to force Musk's wealth accumulation into some real terms mainstream economics deal with difficult to believe?
