Thanks for sharing the cool story about how the insurance offered by your employer sucks ass. It's not Obama's fault that the US is the only country in the world in which your job determines your insurance coverage, so you'll have to either 1) find a better employer, or 2) move to a country that doesn't have our backwards ass system.

Even the summary is confused. Apparently a copy on your hard drive is not physical, and therefore can't be preserved or whatever. The copy of GTA VI you might download from Rockstar is also not physical no matter what you put it on? So a physical copy is what, printed on paper? Chiselled in stone?

So you found one braincell, but try as you might, couldn't find a second one to rub against it and figure out that maybe it's referring to the physical medium that people have been buying video games for over 4 decades -- on cartridges or optical discs?

And you really can't figure out the advantages of tangible copies:
- can be lent to friends
- isn't permanently tied to a specific account
- isn't dependent on a vendor's storefront needing to remain operational
- price competition between retailers vs fixed digital storefront pricing
- can be sold when you're done
- can be purchased used at a reduced price

...how are you going to do any of that with "a copy on your hard drive"?

I'm not surprised Rockstar decided not to provide their six terabyte game in those formats.

"If we're building agents to help people complete everyday tasks using computers, our models need real examples of how people actually use them -- things like mouse movements, clicking buttons, and navigating dropdown menus," said a statement Meta issued earlier.

Early reports on the effectiveness of the training has shown mixed results -- the agents are REALLY good at mouse movements, clicking buttons, and navigating dropdown menus, but no matter the prompt provided to it, the agent just opens firefox and starts browsing job postings on Indeed.

If you find ebay "overcomplicated" to use, that's a you-problem. If you want people to understand wtf you're talking about, you really need to step us through what exactly you find so confusing about a process in which you: find an item and then click a button to buy it now, or click a button to enter how much you're willing to pay for it and then wait to see if you won the auction. You seem to be presuming that just because you're helpless and inept, everybody else is as well

I dunno, man...I get where they're coming from:
If I'm at work and my coworker interrupts me to ask "Was Nietzsche antisemitic?," I, too, would play dumb and reply "Who is Knee Chi?", so that he'd leave me the fuck alone and go back to asking google questions and pretending he was having a conversation.

Musk said he was a "fool"

No shit?

During cross-examination, Savitt clashed with Musk over questioning. Savitt asked whether Musk had contributed $38 million to OpenAI, rather than the $100 million that he later claimed to have invested on X. Musk said he also contributed his reputation to the company and came up with the idea for the name, leading Savitt to ask Musk to respond yes or no to "simple" questions. "Your questions are not simple. They're designed to trick me, essentially," Musk said, adding that he had to elaborate or it would mislead the jury.

"Ladies and gentleman of the jury, asking me whether a statement I made is true or not is a devious question designed to trick me! Did I mention that I'm a fool? You've gotta understand that being associated with a fool like me has a valuation of 60 - 70 million!"

"Hey everyone, just a heads up: I went to Ghostty's web page where it explains “Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration,” and apparently I'm either too illiterate or too technically worthless to know wtf a terminal emulator is."
