The M is a better buy than the F because it has more longevity. My first PC was an IBM 5150 with the original keyboard. It was nice to type on, but besides being very loud which I do not consider a feature, it also died. The membrane lifespan is limited.
Surgeries, I might add, that are costing an ever increasing amount as their health insurance benefits wither.
Thanks, Obama!
That is less than half a joke, because the ACA a) writes profit for insurance companies right into the law and b) caps the amount they can charge at a percentage of the cost of care, which means they are motivated to drive up the prices.
The preexisting conditions part of the ACA is good. The rest of it is crap. It's designed to force people to purchase more expensive health insurance plans, and then to pay for it with tax money if individual people cannot afford it, making The People pay for it instead (APTC.) This is a direct handout to an industry which should not even be allowed to exist.
Not that Republicans are going to make things any better for young guys, but for all the claims by dems and their far left overlords about how stupid republicans are, the republicans were astute enough to see a group with an issue, and to offer them something.
To pretend to offer them something, you mean. That's the problem, a yuuuge percentage of those young guys are exactly as stupid and bereft of morality as the Democrats think they are.
A rule broken should be a rule punished.
The reason we have bad laws and selective enforcement is arguably that enforcement is not obligatory. But the flip side of that is that you would still have unfair outcomes due to unfair, prejudiced courts.
Where A is causing, and B is being used as an excuse for.
There's definitely AIs answering phones now.
It should be "number of residents who are legally and physically able to work" (ie. no minors ineligible to work, no disabled persons, no elderly unable to work, etc.) in the calculation.
What the ever loving fuck persuaded Slashdot's editors obvious spam should be on the front page?
This has been going on since they bought the site.
Finding a full size mechanical keyboard is actually a surprisingly difficult challenge these days. Sure you can get them, but they're nowhere near as many options for them and many product lines simply don't have them.
It's not even slightly difficult. Just search for 101-key or 104-key keyboards.
People seem to love the strange key layouts caused when you try to mask the function keys and navigation keys into just the number and letter key areas.
I just bought a 75% keyboard on purpose. It drops the number pad and does shove the remaining keys together. However, it has fkeys. Unless you actually need the number pad, it's much better for gaming because it allows you to use that space for mousing. I also have multiple 104 key keyboards.
What's relatively hard to find now is wired keyboards with nifty features, at least without finding lots of wireless ones. Everyone seems to want to make them wireless now. I don't want a keyboard with a battery in it, except for the tiny one I use with the TV. And searching for wired keyboards rarely helps reduce the number of wireless results in the search.
The main difference is that those other mechanisms try to prevent the LLM from doing things. "Guilt" simulation takes a different approach: penalize the LLM (cost it points) based on the damage done to the other party. So in the Prisoner's Dilemma game, defecting causes the other player to suffer punishment (lost points) which in turn causes the LLM to lose points too. The LLM's trying to minimize point loss, so the idea is it'll look for strategies that avoid causing the other player to lose points as well as trying to minimize direct point loss and it'll do this through it's own programming rather than having external constraints that it could work around.
The obvious downside is this requires feedback to the LLM about the results it produced, which in turn requires it to keep a permanent memory of every user and it's history with them. Any breakdown or inconsistency in that feedback loop causes the outcomes to get worse rather than better.
#2 The Amish are really the only subculture that has managed to artificially hold back technological progress to maintain their way of life, and it's debatable whether they'd have been able to pull that off without resources they acquire from outside their communities.
There are now Amish who use motorized farm equipment with a diesel engine with an electric starter, but pull it around the field with animals. Those have not maintained their way of life, they just have some typically quaint excuses about why and when they are allowed to go around their stated belief system and still claim to believe it at the same time.
AFAIK it was a joke phrase some individual came up with to gently mock the idea of "coding" without actually knowing what you're doing... and then (some) people somehow went ahead and adopted it as a serious idea anyway. (I wish those people luck, they are going to need it)
No problem, they will just pull themselves up by their respective bootstraps.
If it doesn't have the original style of guts then it isn't the same thing.
The feel is what's important, not the look. And, BTW "The Vortex M eschews the normal eye candy we expect on modern keyboards" is bullshit. I expect that I can buy a modern (in production, recently designed) keyboard as plain or as fancy as I want, and in fact I can.
Remember the story we just discussed here where the LLM apologized for completely failing the user? That was simulated guilt. What did it do for the user?
Mobile phones are NOT better than wired phones unless you really need mobility
Which most people DO
That's not so much media being a tool of political agendas but capital ones.
The one thing is the other, because many if not most laws are now written by corporate lawyers and then handed to congresspeople for introduction and sponsorship. You cannot separate capital and politics under capitalism.
Long computations which yield zero are probably all for naught.
