Not so sure… when I read the Bible God’s killing people right and left, sometimes out of vengeance, anger, spite, and more. If anything the Satan guy seems heck of a lot more chill.

Interesting… My 4K Atmos price has been quite stable over the years.

When I entered the workforce in the late '90s, people were still saying this about putting PCs on every employee’s desk. This was at a really profitable company. The argument was they already had telephones, pen and paper. If someone needed to write something down, they had secretaries for that who had typewriters. They had dictating machines. And Xerox machines.

And the truth was, most of the higher level employees were surely still more profitable on the phone with a client than they were sitting there pecking away at a keyboard.

Then, just a handful of years later, not only would the company have been toast had it not pushed ahead, but was also deploying BlackBerry devices with email, deploying laptops with remote access capabilities to most staff, and handheld PDAs (Palm pilots) to many others.

Looking at the history of all of this, sometimes we don’t know what exactly will happen with newish tech, or exactly how it will be used. But it’s true that the companies that don’t keep up often fall hopelessly behind.

The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn’t go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I’m sure being a divorcee sucks but it can’t be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

I understand where you’re coming from, but of course the Linux I want to use is not a business with a centralized marketing department vying for market share. It’s something that I can customize and make into whatever I want it to be.

I think that’s why many people want to use Linux - they’re not pigeonholed into decisions made to gain market share, they’re free to choose whatever works well for them.

Paradoxically, 20 plus years ago people chose PCs and Microsoft over Apple for much of the same reason. We could select our own hardware from any manufacturer, easily run our own executables and develop code in any direction desired.

It’s hard to see that being a good thing

I thought filing egregiously inaccurate documents with the court was risking contempt of court (in the best of cases).

Ignoring the court itself, I’d think for a prosecutor or cop this would lead to pretty bad performance reviews.

But if the system has no standards…

I don’t automatically have a negative opinion about this, I would need more information before that. Did the terms of service allow for this?

It’s a fascinating case study on crowdsourcing data that is useful to this navigation technology, and reminds me of the first captchas that helped train OCR engines.

Here’s a pixel in case you need any

You’re right. I got in the habit of doing that because I’m endlessly tweaking my .env files and I don’t think those reload unless you shut down first

Yeah the 5 months thing… That’s the difference between having a $400/hour lawyer and no lawyer. The first guy could get you out by 6:00 p.m. on bail. If you have no lawyer, your appointment to be assigned lawyer is scheduled for next month.

Never run:

docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Right before the end of your day. Ask me how I know 😂

Next time around, perhaps hundreds or thousands of years from now whenever we rebuild from the ashes, let’s have opposing government offices that check and balance each other.

Instead of letting the guy who does the checking work for the guy who does the thing that needs the checking.

I mean, the post referenced dollars… so yes I think we were

Damn I better check my contracts and see if they have any war or terrorism clauses 😅

I think most banks these days don’t even have much cash on hand. They probably figure out whatever cash is normally used in a day, perhaps keep 10 to 20% more, and that’s it.

So congrats you get 10 to 20 grand maybe in cash. Likely marked somehow. And not only do you get the regular police but you also get the federal police on your tail. Not to mention banks have high def security cameras inside and out. And every street near banks usually has a camera as well so they know where you went!

Oops, forgot who he was speaking with and got the wires crossed.

Soon the GOP might have to set up a clubhouse and private Facebook group so they don’t leak their real feelings.

Not sure why you got downvoted, 30 years ago we just plagiarized and teachers were none the wiser. Students have always been finding ways to cheat the system. In some cases inadvertently learning more 😂

Now at least teachers have more tools to detect when a student is taking shortcuts.

Are there any reliable sources that LLMs accelerated disinformation? Naturally I’m on the lookout for disinformation.

Math checks out. I’ll let you know when it’s done
