Sometimes I wake up and start doing new science. But usually I just roll over and go back to sleep.

He's creating a "middle class" - they will get the info after the regular insiders, but before hoi polloi.

He should have thought of selling multiple levels of higher tiers.

For a small fee you can get your bullshit before everyone else.

I should have added:

"In general, renaming things does not fix a problem."

Though heaven knows, lots of stupid people try it.

Why not just discard the whole idea of DST instead of putting it into permanent effect?

The whole concept is an attempt to redefine time as a way of addressing perceived social problems. Schedule activities around the clock, not the clock around activities.

Not surprised that someone exploited a vulnerability, but surprised that deployed military personnel are allowed to use civilian communication systems.

Right now, we have AI models that are good enough, what we need is for someone to focus on making them affordable, because even the Enterprise level for Github Copilot doesn't let you do anything remotely resembling the level of usage I was at before they changed their business model. I used to talk to Copilot all day long and I didn't really do anything manually anymore, with excellent results. It coded a lot better than I ever did and since it freed me from mundane work I could focus on making an excellent OOP architecture with great performance and security. Including refactoring legacy code to bring it up to the level of quality you can get in minutes. Now instead of minutes everything takes me entire weeks. Ah the joys of old-fashioned artisanal coding. After 3 years I barely know how to code anymore.

I'm having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy, as the saying goes.

The FSB is certainly getting a good ROI on their investment in Trump.

AI is so smart that it can hallucinate without even having to take drugs.

Yeah, but that will happen with your Kodak scooter and Bell and Howell Fire extinguisher too, which are the same exact products

Sometimes I just want to look for stuff made by brands I want because I'm doing something somewhat professional and need the name brand to not be SHJWEHAS or I'll get made fun of relentlessly. Its the cost of being accepted and getting work sometimes. You over pay for the hammer to communicate something to the other people you're swinging it with. I don't like it, but I can't change it.

Ugh, I agree with you in general, but forks that go in mouths.... of ... kids... You don't care what those things are made of ? At all? Thats where you lose me. But I'll buy a flash light or screw driver from WE*(H(*@#!HUW#QEUGHGFSWUIHSGE for $5 delivered same day.

I mean thats the honest truth. They would just take the money. There really aren't industries that competitive where they would gain a whole lot of market share if they could charge lower interchange fees. It would make a difference on the margin for small struggling businesses. Its one of those things where they look at costs, and see the large number next to processing fees and try to figure out ways of not paying it. They're doing the same with electricity, wages, costs of products they sell, taxes, etc. Its just what companies do: Maximize revenue/profits, minimize costs.

Da fuq are you on about? What is the product I can buy or service I can get?

I mean is it news for nerds? Not really.

Is it par for the course for slashdot? Yup.

Yell at the cloud, I won't stop you.
