The movie was The 6th Day. I'm shocked that nobody else referenced this movie in all the comments.

We do this naturally without thinking. It's called Pareidolia. We recognize what appears to be a pattern of human behavior and we automatically assign a meaningful interpretation to it.

"...especially when such encroachments undermine the exercise of our fundamental right to free speech."

Let's stand resolute in our protection of free speech! Especially for the right to say that our president loves TACOs. He loves to eat TACOs so much, he was asked by a reporter how much he loved TACOs. Trump's response? He loves them so much, he could eat 8,657 of them!

Just love that free speech!

But if I tell an LLM "Thanks that suggestion worked" that feedback is lost to the void. There's no upvoting, no storage that I know of applying to all other questions people ask to let the system know "yes that answer worked particularly well". So all the LLMs can go on giving out the same answers forever not really knowing they are flawed... unless someone publishes an article about it.

There's no reason why LLMs can't have feedback mechanisms. In fact they do. ChatGPT has thumbs up and thumbs down buttons. It almost definitely tracks usage of download and copy to clipboard buttons.

These stories don't phase me. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to pull back and reveal what's behind the curtain: Lots of people suffer isolation and burnout and depression. These cases are not limited to only public performers. At least this public performer is making some bank in the process. Here's to hoping she comes to the realization that she can't continue this lifestyle forever, dials back on the streaming, and uses some of those gains to get some help with her mental struggles.

Meanwhile, if you care about this story, then care about your neighbors and coworkers whom you witness going through similar traumas, and connect with them. Social bonds save lives.

(P.S. A word of warning: Don't make the same mistake I did of reading the old Slashdot story, wondering what "the old JenniCam" is up to, and click the link....Especially if you're at work.)

I mean on the low end.

Like formerly a small business would pay for the valuable HTML and FTP knowledge, but today many will just use Wix instead.

And more complex things are more proper webdev and not just knowing some HTML tags.

I remember there was a short time when the web was new and "webmaster" was a profitable occupation. Then a combination of improved web design software, CMSes, frameworks and the like quickly ate the low end, and the higher end just got rolled into software development.

I'm not sure why anyone thought that knowing what keywords a specific model recognizes best could ever be an enduring form of employment. To me it was always clearly extremely temporary.

Amazingly, ISA disappeared much later than I thought. It seems there's a Skylake motherboard with an ISA slot out there. That architecture was only discontinued by intel 6 years ago.

Also, I believe the bus still internally survives in many boards that don't have a physical connector, and the LPC bus is ISA in a slightly newer form.

Chrome won the browser war fair and square

I can't figure out who is the bigger troll here...this David Heinemeier Hansson fella, or mrmash for posting this onto Slashdot.

Is "fair and square" what you call Google using its search market and internet advertising market monopoly to litter every search result and webpage with "Download Google Chrome!" ads 15 years ago?

Can we have Trump-45 back?

You know, the most ridiculous part of this temper tantrum is that the tariffs aren't even being collected yet. As that article says: "Social media posts are not law on the pause and increase in tariffs." It's just absolutely insane that this convicted felon thinks that he can legislate by Tweet, as if there's some dock worker who's constantly monitoring Truth Social and changing the tax calculation in his computer the moment Trump issues a new rant online.

While the Senate passed the resolution to take the tariff away from Trump last week, they only did it by a 51-48 vote. The House won't pass it. Even if a few individuals flipped their vote and passed the bill, Trump would just veto it.

Until Trump pisses off at least two-thirds of both the House and Senate, this is how things are going to stay.

The game is on US debt.

100% this. Trump backtracked because the interest rate on US Treasuries spiked Monday and Wednesday this week. The world is losing trust in US T-Bills, and if it does, and starts selling a critical mass of them, American debt will be worthless, its currency will be worthless, and all hell will break loose.

America's biggest mistake this decade has been taking the world's faith in its currency for granted.

Can someone please take away the keys from grandpa before he crashes this economy into a brick wall?

At least then we won't have to change the initialism.

China will start using the data centers for Bitcoin mining.
