AI told the fuzz BS, the fuzz swallowed it and didn't double-check it.

I call that a police mistake.

I wonder if she will find microplastics inside.

Well into its fifth decade of trying to become a thing, it isn't yet. It didn't help that the demos Meta was showing were pretty lame, especially the Zuck with big, girly eyes. They're doing some really good research in HCI, though. Maybe they need to focus on productizing that stuff rather than chasing a platform no one wants.

Personal computer UI peaked in the 90s. It's been downhill ever since.

All the HCI research in the 70s and 80s done by companies like IBM and Microsoft made huge advances in computer usability.

Now usability has been cast off to a bunch of art school dropouts who don't know anything, and our software suffers immensely because of it.

You're funding this by not having affordable healthcare.

When I was out of work for about 8 months, about 90% of the good job listings I found were on LinkedIn, so much so that I mostly stopped looking at other job boards. I subscribed to Premium during that time, and the job I ended up getting (and really like!) was one where I found the listing on LinkedIn. I did have some recruiters reach out to me with meaningful positions. Yeah, I got some scammy or otherwise useless offers, but it wasn't anywhere as bad as you're describing.

I can't say whether Premium was worth it or not, but LinkedIn as a whole was. If I find myself out of a job again, I'll probably subscribe again. But I hope that won't be the case, and have been doing my best to be amazing and indispensable at this job.

Would it have killed the person writing the headline to use the word "spending", instead of the much less clear "spend" being used as a noun?

I will, if you first cite to me legitimate, peer-reviewed studies showing any of these vaccines are safe and effective.

Grandparent said, "Thankfully, the doctors won't participate in that bulls^&t."

Yeah, they want the payoff they get for every person vaccinated.

Died suddenly? Who knows why?
Kids keeling over from heart attacks? We've always had that!
Turbo cancer? It's a mystery!
SIDS and skyrocketing childhood allergies? Must be global warming!

Either it meets the high standards required by the kernel team or it doesn't. It doesn't matter if it was written by AI, aliens or Linus himself.

I use AI tools when coding and I've used it to generate code at times, but I read through it with a fine-toothed comb, test it thoroughly, and don't commit anything I don't 100% understand. I think anyone working on the kernel is easily capable of the same thing.

If you want to fight AI mediocrity, and more importantly, its weaponization by Google to steal traffic from other websites and become a one-stop-shop, you can force yourself to go click on results instead of reading the damn AI blurb.

This one is also on us refusing to slurp up what Google offers by default.

Windows is everything people don't want: a surveillance platform, an advertisement billboard and now an unreliable "agentic" piece of shit.

But worse of all, Windows is mostly what people have to put up with at work.

And finally, there's another negative factor working against it: Microsoft is a company headquartered in a rogue fascist country. My company for one is actively exploring option to ditch Office 365, Teams, WIndows and depend on Microsoft things as little as possible. I'm sure it's not the only one.

They go from 0 to 100% Nazi in less than a year!

Boycott products that make Musk money.

"Just accept mediocrity and don't resist, it'll be less painful, because we sure as hell won't stop trying to make money off of AI."
