Comment Wikipedia vs Facebook. (Score 1) 60

One is not the other.

A printed copy of an encyclopedia, while outdated and may contain errors that can't be corrected on that print edition - are immutable. Enough people get enough power and entire historic entries could be cancelled from Wikipedia.

On the other hand no one is going to delete your Facebook page, or visit it.

Comment AI search is great because you don't get to choose (Score 1) 94

AI search basically gives you one or two of the top results merged together. Google for example often has almost word for word an AI summary, then the actual results below that are almost word for word - often from Reddit and such places.

I'm not saying the results are always wrong just that if it picks wrong be prepared for that. Be skeptical and the AI search can be fruitful. Or poison. either way.

Comment The internet suffers from cancer. (Score 2) 198

Commercialization was one form, but this AI thing is an entirely different form of cancer; it spreads much faster, fills every void, pushes out any good citizen by the mere fact of existing, and finally the thing will collapse under the weight of continual expansion of AI into everything that is the internet.

The internet is a victim just like you and me. But sheep don't know to fight back before something is lost.

Comment Re:Pluto is a planet (Score 1) 70

No, I am going by the title as will any other English speaking individual. They put the word planet right in the name. Call it a dwarf body or something that makes sense.

A dwarf planet is not a type of planet. Anyone with basic ability to do logic will think how stupid that sounds when they read it. It doesn't matter if the statement is true 'by definition,' For example people are used to things like an LED light bulb being related to a light bulb. Might as well call it an American planet...

Comment Don't ignore the "UP TO" qualification. (Score 1) 40

They already tell you right in the wording that it is only up to 1.2 times. The reality is that a few seconds into any processor heavy usage the 12 core CPU will thermal throttle down to match the 10 core CPU, which by the way, is also throttling down due to heat.

They added 2 cores but the whole thing is still limited by thermal design limitations - whoop de doo.

Portrait modes are for portraits - of yourself - you know there is this thing called a selfie. Most people record videos of themselves or other people when on a phone; as such the width of landscape ratio is wasted space. But then so is a selfie :D

As for your comment about landscape is how we see the world.. Not so for newer generations they only see themselves so portrait makes perfect sense.

Comment Homework is exercise for the mind. (Score 1) 150

If you don't understand this, that is your problem - please don't spread your ignorance to others.

Basically if you want to cheat yourself, sure have someone or something else do the homework exercises for you. There was an old saying that learning is about repetition, and anything to be learned should be repeated at least three times; the first when explained by the teacher, the second when written down as class notes, and the third either as an exercise in class or as homework later that same day. I think that saying holds true.

The rest is political bullshit that has no business in this 'discussion'. get bent.

Comment How can they be bankrupt? (Score 2) 34

It's a simple business model: claim copyright infringement on all images they hold a copyright on, even on images they don't... It's a simple protection racket, how did it all go wrong?

Now the crooked firm will be owned by some equity firm. The perfect fit. I hope they go bankrupt together again.
