"we've seen a massive drop in views, so we're making it more difficult for people to view our content"

Damn, that's an amazing business idea! Wish I had thought of it.

Ahhh yes, Apple has abandoned its innovative hardware by... -checks notes- creating the worlds fasted single threaded CPU... by a MASSIVE margin compared to competitors like Intel and AMD.

Yeah, fuck those fast chips they make.

"Reed-Solomon error-correcting codes"

So you literally re-invented RAID-6? UUuuuhhhh, congrats, I guess?

"shares rise nearly 40% this year"
"eBay to Cut 9% of Workforce"

thanks, i guess..?

"no indication that sensitive information was accessed"

Translation: "We didn't have proper monitoring in place, so we don't even know what they did"

For those crying "YOU'LL REGRET THIS"

Just note that we're ALREADY in this state today.

GPS is 18 seconds off from UTC, right now, today.

Automation is possible everywhere. Even if its a generic web form w/ a file upload button? Yeah, I've got a couple of those in my environment. There is a script that simulates the login steps and then does the "upload" POST request.

I cannot speak for your machine, but on my personal M5 MAX, thermals hover around 70c when doing long sessions.

Its honestly just fine. I'm actively replying using the MacBook Pro M5 MAX 128GB. When doing "AI" tasks, the bottleneck is memory performance, not compute. So yeah, the fans kick in because the system heats up, but it doesn't get to the point of thermal throttling. I imagine the Nvidia based laptops doing "AI" tasks will work about the same.

Every time I read that a company is "Aligning" the only thing I can assume that is being aligned is the C-suite's pocket books.

Every single game developer, so they know where their potential market base is, so they know what platforms to invest development time into.

Maybe... just maybe, it started before "AI" - maybe, just maybe, it is become what is taught as "computer science" and what they actual day job are absolutely nothing like each other. CS degrees force rote memorization of established algorithms. That's never the day job. 30 years of computer programming, and I've implemented more Mandelbrot renderers than I have inverted b-trees, or sorted link-lists. Schooling and industry are the furthest apart imaginable, and the younger generations have started to pick up on the fact that leetcode skills don't mean jack shit in the real world.

Don't even need WSL. The exception wasn't for "Linux", it was for "GPL, BSD, MIT" and some other licenses. Yeah, just license things as close-sourced BSD/MIT, and you're all good!

This is an extremely broad topic. There is no one singular "AI". These mentions of "AI", each one, are often referring to entirely different things. For instance, CorridorKey is an "AI" based green screening technique that supports transparency and is a hell of a lot faster and more accurate than just about any other traditional tool out there. So is this the "bad" kind of "AI"? Or is this (and similar) just new tools in the tool box to speed of particularly boring and repetitive tasks nobody actually wanted to do? Masking a green screen is hardly on the "artistic" side of things, its just technical work destined for automation.

1) nobody wants to read an "article" that has more ads than content when researching a topic (yes, ablock exists for us techies and I have it, but talking in the more broad common person sense).

2) nobody wants to read a forum thread with over 100 posts to try to find the one post with the real answer surrounded by a collection of bad answers and people saying "YUP, IT WORKS NOW" with zero context otherwise.

Make your content on-topic and valuable, and users will return. it is as simple as that. These are just two of the main things I see as devauluation of a lot of these web sites complaining about a drop in traffic. They're most certainly not the ONLY reasons, but it is two of the major points!
