I had VERY SPECIFIC requirements and I wanted the extended warranty. I would have paid 2x at a dealer. I know what I was doing.

I bought a used 2020 XC90 from CarMax last week. I did everything online from shipping it from Texas to Minnesota to financing the extended warranty. I walked in the door, gave them a cashier's check, and drove away within 10 minutes.

That's how it should be.

Anthropic is prepared to loosen its current terms of use, but wants to ensure its tools aren't used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement.

The Pentagon claims that's unduly restrictive, and that there are all sorts of gray areas that would make it unworkable to operate on such terms. Pentagon officials are insisting in negotiations with Anthropic and three other big AI labs â" OpenAI, Google and xAI â" that the military be able to use their tools for "all lawful purposes."

Typical annual salary, according to MIT's Living Wage Calculator for the NYC Metro, is $84,860.

Poverty wage is $7.52/hr (no kids) and minimum wage is $15.50 which, according to the calculator, should cover 1 adult with 3 kids.

The Brearley School, regarded as the best private school for girls in the nation and charging around $70K, is a non-profit.

What shareholders?

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Seeing as this consumes the only PCIe port on the device, you can't use NVMe storage in conjunction with it, making the entire thing far less useful since all of the other storage options for the Pi are dogshit

the cost of the equipment is not what businesses are paying for in the cloud.

consumers are much different, but there are successful cloud pc services that have pricing oriented to consumers. The entire cloud gaming industry, for instance. Some of them like Shadow encourage and provide for the use of the system as a regular cloud PC. There is a value prop, but it does require a massively great Internet connection, which is where it honestly falls completely apart. Consumer ISP's are nowhere near delivering quality of service sufficient for this product.

Nonlinear accoustics is a thing; there's not technically an upper limit for the amount of energy you can drive a transducer with though I would assume it would be extremely difficult to couple enough energy through to cause any real damage. I know personally that it can sound quite loud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I also have little confidence this sort of thing is involved here; Occam's razor says it's a big nothing burger so I'm gonna stick with that until someone brings something concrete forward

Just a reminder that the Jew Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father helped to found Israel, was a powermod on Reddit who had the power to censor /news, /worldnews, /politics and a few others.

The real party is on X, if you're not there you're missing out.

Remember when Digg chimped out and everyone left to join Reddit?

That moment passed some years ago. Now Reddit mods have been caught red-handed luring children to their houses to inject them with SUPER GIRL JUICE aka trans hormones. Without parental knowledge or consent, kind of like how California public schools do.

Is Al Gore a scientist?

Nope. STFU nerd

acetaldehyde is a Class A carcinogen, which means it does nothing but mutate cells.

If you drink, support ALDH enzyme activity. The enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) converts acetaldehyde into harmless acetate. Nutrients help your liver metabolize the harmful alcohol. Vitamin B1. Alcohol depletes thiamine, which supports liver function. Take a B-complex vitamin before drinking.

Zinc and Magnesium: These minerals support ALDH activity. Eat zinc-rich foods (e.g., oysters, nuts) or take 15-30 mg zinc, 200-400 mg magnesium.
