Can they factor a number larger than 21 with QC yet?

Perhaps they could take a clue from software from 40+ years ago and make top-posting a configurable option.

But Microsoft has pretty much completely given up on making their software configurable for user preferences.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

"Dr. Sam Becket never returned home."

You forgot to misspell his name.

Not if they keep spending 10 figures a year trying to make VR happen.

How long can Meta survive without shipping a product people actually want?

"Please protect us from child-harm lawsuits since child harm is pretty much our business model."

This is very important. There's a light-year of difference among a typical scholarly article, a physics paper, a math paper, or some kind of incomprehensible humanities bafflegab that no sane person could comprehend. The former, if it's not too technical, should be readable to the average undergrad. The second and third might not be because there are so many specialized concepts and so much specialized language. The latter (and I'm not indicting everything coming out of the humanities, but a lot of it) is incomprehensible because it literally doesn't make sense.

Did they take into account that most countries drive on the right? If you're walking the perimeter of a room counterclockwise, it might be because you are staying on the right.

I wouldn't mind if it were a static image, but it's that Gemini ad that's constantly writing and erasing text. It's definitely cut down how long I stay on the site.

No, those are the words of someone who has seen nothing but slop for more than a decade (OK, there were a couple of exceptions), and has reached the point where there is no expectation things will ever get better. I have also given up hope that Star Wars will ever be good again.

I expect your opinion, which I share, is a majority opinion. Star Wars is almost nothing but slop now.

It seems to me they could redirect the 10 figures a year they are spending on building a VR world no one wants or will use. Or did they cannibalize that already?

We get it. You don't like Beyonce. Neither do I, but I'm not making a scene over that fact.

Around 1990, I worked for a couple months on an embedded device that had an 80186 and a megabyte of RAM. At one point, I had access to a huge pile of 1MB SIMMs and took a stack home for the evening and using memory boards that allowed you to stack up to 8 of them into one SIMM slot in your computer to figure out just how little RAM Windows NT 3.5 really needed to boot. It booted successfully with 12MB of RAM. It really wasn't usable, but it did boot up. Nowadays, Windows is probably only marginally usable with 12GB of RAM.
