Someone please tell the AI filters in HR....

Just as people can mod a story, can we mod the headline ?
on this case, the headline "Chevy Silverado EV Drives 1,059.2 Miles on a Single Charge, Surpassing World Record" shold get a mod value of 1 or 2, as the headline should read
"heavily modified car manages to go further on one battery charge in non realistic use case" or something like that

Can the slashdot software automatically down grade any post that is NOT from an IP lawyer to ahve a post value of no greater then 3 ?
thanks !!

Why should I switch to Linux from Windows ?
Give me a reason that I care about, not a reason you care about
You have been telling me , nonstop, for 25 years that OSS is good
and you know what ? I don't care, and if I haven't changed my mind in 25 or so years, I"m not gonna change now

let me repeat that I don't care about OSS and you are not gonna change my mind.

My main use of office is to make graphs in excel. every 5 years or so, I download the latest open office thing, or libre thing, and give it a whirl, and *for what I do* libre is not ready for prime time
we have lot of $$ instruments where I work, in a biotech, that use windows, and there is no Linux; why should I go to the trouble of having a different OS ?
eg this guy

the windows software barely works; I very much doubt they have a 'nix version

etc etc;
I can't see a reason that I care about that would make me want to switch

also, how on earth am I supposed to choose a distro ? and once I do, almost certainly, cause there are so many, each one won't work that well, cause there isn't a critical mass of maintainers

I don't care about buying a new laptop every 5 or 8 years; in my experience, what always breaks is the hardware, not the OS (yeah, I spill coffee on my laptop; sue me)

Yes this is the simplest solution either have another instance of the llm reject or censor the output or even simple text classification models could detect most of this in either the input or the output or both.

No... No... No... You have it all wrong. They want to export their high prices and make the surrounding states suffer. "Sorry Spokane, you got outbid by Santa Clara for the Upper Falls output generated inside your own city. But we can pick you up in the spot market using LA Solar at $1200/MWh!"

Yes, exactly... And they were almost completely wiped out by the Devonian extinction. The name itself adds to the confusion...

No kidding... I read the headline and was like "Whoa, is that the late Devonian extinction?" Nope... Hadean. Before even the late heavy bombardment...

Cmdr Taco and Cowboy Neal cashed out, they're long gone. What's replaced them seeks to influence you. Hence at least three "Ahhhh!!!! AI is taking all the jobs" and three "Ahhhh!!!! Climate Change!" stories a day, interspersed a few stories you actually might care about.

Ada was created primarily for the DoD. It's used to write complex weapons control systems, etc...

Think of it like the Pentagon Pizza counter. When Ada pops up on Tiobe's list, we're going to war!

Wall candy nothing... I'm so old my wooden crib was painted with lead paint. That stuff was everywhere around the SF Bay. Heck CP/M-86 probably failed because of lead neurotoxicity. How do you think we got M$-DOh$...

But seriously... I didn't expect to have to be on the lookout for lead paints in my kids toys. But 20 years ago they shipped a bunch of wooden toy trains in with red paint containing lead. Big recall... It was hard to explain to a 2 year old. So if you ever manage to kiss a girl and she takes pity on you in a moment of weakness... Just know you have to keep up with the toy recalls as well as the child support payments. Of course now days everything is made out of plastic, including a lot of the so called women...

Restricting redistribution of SRPM's is a license violation. You cannot add third party terms to existing GPL code. IBM needs to comply with the GPL.

I have mixed reviews of Zigbee. It sorta works, but doesn't like stucco walls. But at least it's not Internet addressable. Once you've moved to something running IPv6, you might as well just throw things on WiFi.

But you probably know why the origin of the wave motion gun was removed from Star Blazers. :p
