If Alphabet thinks that people in Maryland, Virginia, and DC are going to leave off their air conditioning in August for a paltry payment to keep data centers running then they're fucking insane. Not using much power when it's 105 degrees and humid outside is not something most people will do so Gemini can summarize other people's email.

That's often the thermal paste drying out. Clean the fan, repaste the chip, good for a few more years.

Usually.

A recent psychology study suggests that heavy AI users can improve productivity and lose the ability to focus at the same time.

Forgetting which list is in the To: could be an example of diminished focus.

Pure spec.

Either they are right and we can all retire early and live in a socialistic Trek-ish paradise, or the AI bubble will pop and we'll have yet another nasty recession. There's not a lot in between because Wallstreet is pricing and valuating for the 1st scenario.

you are probably correct, but luckily I don't play sports games and I gave up on battlefield after 1942...

or STFU about PHP.

They added the stock reaction may be due more to massive expectations than disappointing data.

And not due to the fact Moderna has leaky cybers?

Is there a vaccine that cures Maga Gullibility Syndrome? It may also reduce crime by reducing the number of Muslims and trans people getting beat up for existing because the Maga Fox Jesus Cult claims they are demons...without double-blind proof.

Erm, yes it is and yes it does. At least if you use systemd. And you say "perfectly possible" and yet sysvinit and other systems don't do it.

First, many knowledgeable techies can't write for the general public. I'd say most can't. The general public doesn't need "intelligent technical articles" by the techies. It needs it explained in their terms.

Second, it is absolutely insulting to judge someone solely by their degree after 25 years of professional experience in the field of tech reporting for the general populace.

I use AirBNBs as locations to produce adult content. I'm not joking.

An AirBNB is perfect for my needs; it's a literal godsend. I want a clean home-like setting that is relatively generic and free from personal items, that also doesn't look like a hotel and can be unique for the amount of content being produced there. I believe this is a relatively common practice.

That being said, I bring my own bedding, towels, pillows, cleaning products and tools and I take my trash with me when I leave and dispose of it elsewhere. I am conscientious that I'm staying at another individual's property.

In one case, I found out the property owner was still home, in his basement, while I was working with performers upstairs. He wanted to know what we were doing and didn't actually have a problem with it, but talking with him informed what I should do going forward. Even if I wasn't responsible for messy human activities, I'd still choose to leave as little work as I can for service staff.

I realize that many AirBNBs are owned by property management services and in some cases even hotel groups, but what I'm paying for is exactly the thing I want: clean and not-a-hotel.

...sharks with lasers, but this was Plan B.

Rand Paul must be crying into his dress right now. Fauci was right. Ais DID IT, and succeeded wildly! Rand Paul should resign in disgrace

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.
