Yep. It’s called the standard deduction. If you make less than that, you pay zero income tax.

I might be interested if they hadn’t ditched the open platform aspect of their phones. Now they’re hardly any different from any of the other brands.

Except the major AI players are drastically increasing their prices…

AI has some interesting and fun applications.

The problem is capitalism.

Except LLMs are the worst of both worlds in that respect. In order to work in a robot factory, its output needs to be reliable and repeatable, ideally across as wide a range of inputs as possible. LLMs … are very much not that. They’re also only as ‘skilled’ as their training data, which thanks to the morally bankrupt scraping of every source the AI companies can get their grubby hands on, is of enormously variable quality - and because of the nature of LLMs, it will never be better than its training data. The average quality of its output will, in fact, be the average of its training data.

It’s possible for LLMs to be creative - in the sense that it can output novel sentences - except that as you increase its ‘creativity’ (temperature) beyond the default that most of the chatbots out there have, the quality plummets. It still can’t solve complex problems though, because even if it does have an internal model of how certain things function, it can’t come close to the complexity of what humans can hold in their brains - or perhaps cannot abstract portions of their model in the same way - as evidenced by their utter failure to work through any problem that has more than five or so layers. This is a problem that sees diminishing returns with increased parameter count - the primary metric that is driving the enormous data centers being built.

LLMs are a solution looking for a problem, and aside from ‘bs for people who don’t want to make any decisions in their day-to-day life’ and ‘scam generator’, there doesn’t seem to be very many niches that they are actually good at filling.

Isn’t that essentially what TPM is?

The United States federal government has said loud and clear that not only are foreign visitors not wanted, they are risking their freedom by setting foot on American soil. I don’t see how anyone would be interested in visiting under those conditions who doesn’t have family or the like in the States.

“I’m telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you, we need you, and we miss you,”

That’s not what we’re seeing from the White House, lady.

Yeppppp. I personally know three people who moved out of Texas specifically to get away from their abhorrent legislation.

‘Zionist’ is separate from ‘any religious fundamentalist’. Creative interpretation supports your statement. :)

I’d say maybe it’s a grasshopper mouse, but if that were the case, those bugs would be eaten by now.

You’re ignoring the fact that you have to:

• get a wallet
• make sure your wallet is secure
• fund the wallet from a trusted source
• back up your wallet

Crypto is many things, but it isn’t exactly as friendly as a credit card provided by your bank. Or PayPal, for that matter.

Nope, Monster Girl Academy got the axe too.

You would be correct if not for the fact that consuming animal protein is waaaaaaay less farmland-efficient and more environmentally damaging than consuming plant-based protein… unless you’re eating meat from sustainably-grown animals. Including carefully-managed hunting of wild animals. Factory-farmed meat, however, is very much not that. Most of the feed that goes to them is ALSO a mono-crop.

My suggestion for people who want to get into developing for Dynamics 365 F&O and X++:

Don’t.

When you consider that the main driving factor for the Steam Machine is to make it easier and more appealing for people to purchase games on Steam, they’re kinda in a bind anyways.

There’s a good chance you have the wrong version of the disc. There were two versions in the USA; the second version patched out some glitches.

At this point, the hardware is almost certainly locked in. They were originally expecting to ship these things by now; supply issues are the primary reason they aren’t in gamers’ hot little hands already.

The software, on the other hand, is probably getting some extra polish with this extra time.

What? The thing we were all saying was going to happen is happening???

If the rules aren’t enforced, they aren’t rules.
