Take a look at who the current frontrunners are for the next Democratic presidential nomination.
For that matter, look at what's going on during the current midterms. They've got a golden opportunity to make major gains
Ah, yes. The old "there's totally evidence to back up my statements, I just can't be bothered to give you enough details to find the evidence" routine.
The only instance that some googling shows up is the same one linked to in the summary of this story -- namely, that 404 Media worked with a "rare bookseller" (who they won't name) to put an airtag inside one of the books (which they won't name) in a shipment of 1000 books.
I mentioned this to the other guy but yeah they were destroying rare books. A rare book seller caught them by sneaking an Apple Air tag into one of his books that he shipped to them.
There's rare and then there's "rare." From what I've seen, the people involved have declined to say what the books involved were. About the only reason I can think of to hide that is because they know that people won't be as outraged when they find out what the "rare" books actually are. However, it was a bulk lot of something like 1,000 books, so it's a pretty safe bet that they weren't exactly valuable.
The 1973 manual for a toaster that I found in my grandfather's attic is certainly rare, but we're not losing anything if Amazon feeds it to their AI machine.
If I got one for free, I'd probably plug it in and mess with it a bit, establish that it doesn't really add anything useful, and shove it in a drawer.
If it was $25, I could see a few niche users buying it.
But $230 is insanity.
AI is too easy to use, when the work is done at home. And I say, good riddance. Homework has for decades been a substitute for learning. AP classes aren't actually "advanced" they just require more homework. If AI kills all those extra hours of busywork, that's a good thing.
The historically-bad results of the final at least suggest that doing out-of-class work themselves actually helps students.
Starts? This has been ongoing for a long time.
Front page of Slashdot again wooo!
Couple of small corrections since I wrote that...
There is an Electron port and a version of VScode available.
The thing about Groff in core is really old and it's long gone.
> exposed to 196C
No. That is nearly twice the boiling point of water and would destroy any protein.
You ommitted both the units and the sign.
The article says:
> exposed to 196C
*Minus* 196 C. DEGREES centigrade. Kelvin is the one that isn't measured in degrees, and 196 K isn't too bad. I have survived that frequently myself. It's a very cold day up a mountain.
Exactly. Came here to say this. I suspect a bunch of people didn't edit or proof this and the originator is a lazy thief and used an LLM bot.
20mg tracker on a 600mg butterfly? Why not say it's a 60kg person carrying a 2kg backpack? That's meaningful and it's not much at all.
...you realize that pennies don't solve that "problem," right? We already have to round the final total for virtually all purchases after calculating the tax.
I wrote this article.
I don't think so, no. It's a local feature, not online, entirely optional, and you are perfectly free to ignore it, not turn it on, and use FFmpeg as before.
The size of the binary of FFmpeg is a rounding error compared to the many gigabytes of the video files it takes as input and emits. If you do not enable the Whisper model I am not even sure it'll take any additional memory at runtime.
> GNOME actually works decently on it
On a Surface Go? Touchscreen and all?
Is it usable without a keyboard and mouse? And if so, fully usable?
I have other questions but those are the significant ones. I don't know how anyone syncs books from a router -- huh? -- or how a dinghy would help. To me that is a small boat, either a sail powered or a rubber inflatable boat.
This is intriguing to me.
Just last week, we received notification that IBM is rolling out a "program" to upper-level employees with decades of experience. The idea is that we would work reduced hours for the next year at full pay, and then leave IBM after a year (next March, I believe.)
Of course, this is for US employees only. I think we can be sure that the replacements for these employees (if there are any) won't be in the US.
You didn't "cut cable" if you didn't have it in the first place; the number they're citing is a percentage of total households without cable, not the number of total households that had cable and got rid of it.
Agreed.
"AI" is the last thing I want. I have changed my browser settings to _block_ "AI" generated results.
I did not know DDG was run by the same sort of idiotic blind fashion-followers. This is sad news.
