Given the way big publishers have already made games a cesspool of microtransactions, online-only operation even for single player experience.... Retro game interest is *long* overdue.
AI slop is merely the latest 'slop' in an industry long rotting.
I'm waiting for Super Intelligence II Turbo: Hyper Fighting Championship Edition.
It seems like any band that ever got out of somebody's garage gets or any professional athlete, however minor, gets a detailed article, while people arguably of greater significance in areas that don't attract as much popular interest do not.
Porn stars. At least back when I quit WP, one of the things that sent me over the top was that every minor porn star (especially female) apparently deserved their own page, while scientists didn't even if they had numerous published articles and citation and done important work - but their field was nothing famous.
Although people who haven't read the instructions tend to misinterpret the term notability, it's used on Wikipedia to refer to the quantity and quality of sources available to write an article.
In theory.
If you follow actual notability discussions, they are largely about "this isn't important".
The deletionists are one of the reasons I stopped contributing to Wikipedia. It's not like you need to fit into a 20-volume print edition, idiots. You can give every damn porn star who's been in one clip you liked their own page, why not everyone else? For all I care, every human on the planet could have their own page, and every house with a story, and every dog and cat.
Just imagine if the amount of time and energy spent on the deletion discussions alone would go into improving WP instead.
Or, you know, you could use the time to do something about the people hogging their favorite page and considering it their property and reverting everyone else's edits just because it wasn't made by them. Or one of the other dozen issues the site has. But no, whether or not Xav deserves a page, that's what needs discussion. Fuck off.
The CEO sees other tech companies getting giant boosts and is pissed that isn't him. Line going up for other companies more than his.
When in doubt, blind alignment to the hype of the day should, potentially get there. No room for nuance or actual vision to what would capture the indicated missing value, AI should just provide it... somehow.

Why the hell bother using an AI when you could just type what you would prompt into the comment directly?
To the point you put into the LLM, it's perfectly plausible that someone wiring up an LLM to their email and their bank account suddenly are at huge risk of a scam working. Whatever problems exist in the technical implementations the fact remains that folks greasing the wheels for their money to go out autonomously incur the risk of..... their money going out autonomously...
Does anyone actually have a use case for a touch screen, that can't be better served with a device that prevents it?
Yes, but not for you and me. Graphics designers have been using stylus-displays for years and years, because it's great to draw on the thing you are making instead of drawing on a different surface like a Wacom.
But I'm like you, I don't have a use case for a touchscreen and if you touch my notebook screen I'll be angry because I prefer it without fingerprints, thanks. So my first question is: Do they offer this thing with OLED but without touch? I guess not. Pity.
I've been slowly moving towards my dream setup: Solar panels, battery, EV car, island mode capability. This is one thing that'd be a factor in my buying decision. Using your car as a battery or secondary battery is a big plus, and if they built the necessary equipment to run independent of the power grid, it'd come in a neat package.
While power failures are rare where I live, I expect them to become more common with the move to renewable energies. I support that, but it's more fragile than constantly running power stations. So being able to run your home at least for a few hours on your own energy is something that I consider a good idea.
Well the answer is of course they are out of touch and I don't actually have a 'right question', I just wanted to fit in.
No, it's just the sort of thing that the UEFI design kind of does.
You load a bunch of stuff that all initializes, just in case it might be needed. One of the key optimizations in some UEFI implementations is trimming down the things that get loaded based on an early assessment of whether this or that would be relevant to the expected boot. For example, hit key to enter setup and suddenly it has to load all the things to make sure all the various menus work.
Kind of like setting up the NIC in the OS before anything asks for network access, so that every network access isn't burdened with having to set up the network access. If the driver is already loaded then a variety of potential UEFI network code could just use it (PXE, HTTP, iSCSI, various crap from vendors like pre-OS firmware download)
We will see, but *so far* Ford has not been as aggressive about that sort of thing as BMW or Chevy. The BlueCruise requires actively curated lidar maps, so at least they have a rationale for that being an ongoing subscription. The other subscriptions are similar, updating GPS maps (who needs those with phone) and data connectivity (but if you have a phone, you don't need it). So far they haven't charged for remote vehicle services which arguably could be charged for the SIM service and/or server infrastructure they have.
Note that their point is they state they had the car's onboard system also provide AC to the load side, making the cost lower to incrementally make it a backup unit.
Most solutions provide DC and a separate inverter is required to power the house.
Presumably this came from the desire to consolidate things and wanted to do the 'plug power tools into the truck' feature and the delta to get to 'car side house scale inverter' was appealing.
I haven't looked into this detail, but if you do a network capture, you are likely to see some ipv6 link local activity during boot even if the server is never going to pxe boot. As it boots, it loads a network stack and generally becomes reachable ahead of any actual use. It may refrain from DHCP unless you do an activity that will call for it, but likely will be reachable over ipv6 link local.
You missed the point.
A friend of mine made a tea-timer app for the iPhone. Where you enter what tea you are making and it sets the correct number of minutes. Today, people would ask ChatGPT before they go on the App Store to search for something like that. That's the point. Not what YOU would do, but what the general public does. And for Jane Doe, ChatGPT has replaced a lot of these specialty apps.
Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging. Don't have aesthetic convulsions when using them, either.
