like everyone else?

I'm being serious here. It's one place machine learning can really make a difference: digesting large swaths of data to find important patterns. I assume JSOC and Mossad are doing this already, they're just providing the results to private enterprise and other para-state operational agencies instead of any of the agencies whose mission is to make life better for most people.

I don't know why this post caught my ire; perhaps I've heard AI said just one too many times lately.

TFA does little more than edit a few claims from the company website. And this is from Reuters, supposed to be one of the remaining standards in journalism. I mean I guess the issue is noteworthy, but the headline should read "Fivvr *announces* it's intention to lay off and switch to AI."

No one doubts the layoffs are happening, everyone *should* be dubious of what it means for them to be using AI. A better article would at least reach out to some business professor at the state college to comment on what impact this change might have on the company and the marketplace generally.

Alas that we live in the dark timeline now. How the fsck did this happen? I blame Raisin Bran.

I really wanted to have a clever comeback to express the idea of how hilarious it is you are getting downmodded by actual noobs. But I'm too tired so I'll just say it.

seriously. An apology without a plan to take responsibility for the damages is worthless.

Ketamine is better. Say what you will about Musk, he is inthe leading edge of discovering our end of times and choosing a comforting solution.

Pluto will always be a planet in my solar systemm.

I asked claude about this (in a more general sense.) It agreed it might work for Broadcom make a profit on its acquisition, but be very terrible for the VMware ecosystem and ultimately kill VMWare solutions, but also drive innovation and sales of competitors. It said "Sometimes the best thing for technological progress is a dominant player getting too greedy."

I think there's a solid case to be made for both Apple and Nintendo that keeping control of ther platform ensures better reliability. I don't know enough about Nintendo to say, but my experience with their stuff vs. third party stuff is that theirs works better, even on the wii. Apple has, historically, made a way for some third party hardware stuff, partnerships the form with certain companies who seem to be able to extend functionality in an Apple kind of way, and with concomitant support of the products and their challenges. This creates an extra degree of reliability in the end user experience.

Of course the temptation to turn this into market manipulation always looms large, and Apple is not immune and I'm sure neither is Nintendo. This is why we have a robust consumer protection and regulation system . . .Oh wait. . .

I should very much like to see an 800W amp the size of an nes cartridge. The smallest amp I could find was an NAD at 30W about the size of a mac mini.

Before making the claim that the 'rich' pay the 'lion's share' of taxes, you should expand your definition beyond income earners.

Compare net worth to income, and you will likely see that very often high net worth correlates to very little income. I believe Jeff Bezos recent income was shown to be $0.00 for one noteworthy example.

I myself have benefitted from this tax structure. A few years as a self-employed I brought in six figure gross income, but by corporate structuring and perfectly legal categorization of income and expenses, I reported very little taxable income.

So yes, the US very much favors the rich when it comes to taxes.

Suicide Squad and Peacemaker were aces. A shame we canâ(TM)t get more like that.

They avoided the appearance, bit not the reality. Pretty sure most presidentsâ(TM) net worth climbs pretty high while they are in office.

Trump is different because his corruption is more gaudy and low brow and also in the open and now, maybe he could be said to be democratizing corruption.

I think jobs famously quipped, I want people to want to lick it.

Also the free (at least to students) MS Office includes copilot pro which is also chaptGPT, right?

And deepseek is free to everyone?

I suspect this more about chatGPT data mining than an actual bonus to the students.

I donâ(TM)t have to convince myself, itâ(TM)s objectively true that most of the links in the chain between the creative people (and athletes) and my eyeballs add little value for big cost. whether that justifies piracy is another matter, but capitalism is definitely not working for fansâ(TM) benefit here.
