How "bout those removable phone batteries?

Yeah, taxes are generally unavoidable for most people.

Hosting a blog on Substack is just a market choice among so many.

Apple and Google stores are a bit more grey; I'd allow it.

It's like those guys who find a Civil War chest with a hundred gold coins in it and call the FBI.

Clout is far too expensive.

This is the one where they investigate Office on Antitrust grounds and wind up settling for not bundling Edge.

I've seen it in reruns....

I'm basically imagining a flat curve, which more closely matches the traditional distribution of grades which aren't using a curve. Under the 60/70/80/90 system, it was generally the case that the number of C's matched the number of A's.

His comment affirmed the sensationalist framing:
"populist uprising"
"then play act as a caricature of the most abusive nobility/gilded-age industrialist/dictator you can image"

Read the study. That never happened.

"the models respond by intimating the response of the humans in those stories"
The (implied) extreme reaction also never happened.

The "Marxist" labeling is clearly the centerpiece of the sensationalist framing and a trigger word for Slashdot, which is why I gave it a lot of attention.

The entire goal of training an LLM is to randomly generate words that appear anthropomorphic.

I would definitely argue Patreon has way more brand recognition than Substack. Substack is very focused on media personalities and fired news anchors. If you're not a political or news junkie, you're not likely to come across it often. Patreon is advertised in 2/3 YouTube videos.

Indeed. But LLMs must be hyped so that some assholes can get even richer, hence story. Obviously, this is a) an irrelevant even b) just "better search" and c) this person did not get competent help to do things before.

Most people struggle with a). The Internet just makes that more obvious.

It's all partisan. If you don't see it then congrats, you're falling for it.

You're worried about eating bugs when you're already feasting on partisan slop. Keep feasting.

As I said, slopulism all the way down. How do you not see?

And as we've seen Republicans are happy to hop into bed with both of them so long as they politically align with them. It's devoid of principles.

"washington bureaucracy" just means "democrats". Just slopulism and you are happy to slurp it down.

You're not really comparing like with like. When we talk about vulnerabilities in Windows we're talking about the entire operating system. The bugs that have come up the last few days were in the Linux kernel.

Basically if all those 167 vulns were in KRNL386.EXE (or whatever the Windows kernel is called these days) it'd be comparable in terms of stats.

I don't doubt there are fewer vulnerabilities in, say, Debian than there are in Windows (which is more of a like-for-like comparison) but you undermine the argument by comparing a kernel to a full blown operating system.
