LINQ is… pretty nice.

Seriously. Want monads? LINQ is monads!

Well, they do have the one job that actually can be replaced by “AI” (though in most cases it’d be more beneficial to just eliminate it altogether).

But he doesn’t want to cure cancer, he wants to hit on underage girls.

Oh, hey, my spirit animal.

Programming would be great, if it wasn’t for computers (and users, too, but those would stay away without the damn computers).

(Don’t get me wrong, I love computers, they’re great, as long as they stay turned off.)

I like the functional parts of C♯, though.

Micron is altering the contract, pray they don’t alter it any further.

Seriously, how was anyone expecting less than $1,000 (plus VAT) before the RAM bubble?

Given the current RAM prices anything less than $2,000 would almost certainly be selling it at a loss, or as a kit without RAM, so I expect Valve will just have to cancel it.

Shit’s fucked.

Why would anyone in their sane mind want to migrate to fucking Albion? At this point it’s almost as much of a shithole as the USA…

The images on the article clearly show that they’re not storing the data, they’re storing enough information about the data to reconstruct a rough and mostly useless approximation of the data (and they do so in such a way that the information about one piece of data can be combined with the information about another one to produce another rough and mostly useless approximation of a combination of those two pieces of data, which was not in the original dataset).

It’s like playing a telephone game with a description of an image, with the last person drawing the result.

The legal and ethical failure is in commercially using artists’ works (as a training model) without permission, not in storing or even reproducing them, since the slop they produce is evidently an approximation and not the real thing.

Because they intentionally broke the search engines in order to make LLMs look better.

Search engines used to produce much more useful results than LLMs ever will (even excluding the ones they make up), before google and microsoft started pushing this garbage.

It stores the shape of the information, not the information itself.

Which might be useful from a statistics and analytics viewpoint, but isn’t very practical as an information storage mechanism.

Reddit killed third party apps with absurd API fees.

Can we be done with this whole years thing?

It’s very evidently not working out.

Every one of them is orders of magnitude worse than the one before.

Lets just not have a new year, just stop here, and try to go back if possible?

One means nothing. You need a much bigger sample size to reach any significant conclusions.

Also, actually providing any aid would interfere with the experiment, so don’t.

Actual real life KOTOR characters. Luckily they can’t use the force.

That the future would be better.

The stuff those things eat, they’re surely toxic as fuck. Plus, they’re parasites, animal cruelty shouldn’t apply to them. Exterminate them with extreme prejudice. Also, they’re birds. Should’ve gone extinct 65 million years ago with the rest of their ilk.

just throw them away

If I get my hands on one of those things I’m not throwing it away before repeatedly smashing it as hard as I can against the most solid surface I can find in the vicinity. Or against another seagull, if possible.

Food standards exist for a reason. You can’t trust people not to put shit in their mouth that’ll harm them.
