🙌 Communist Trump is making all textbooks free 🙌

$700 million is the estimated development cost of the Falcon Heavy.

Not a game, not a space simulation, but the actual Falcon Heavy rocket. A rocket that can actually go into space.

I know they're different things but I thought I'd leave this here to put things in perspective.

Most people tend to develop coping mechanisms that help them pass as non-ADHD individuals, by lowering their standards for what they can achieve in life and by accepting the abnormally high amounts of stress that hiding their ADHD causes them.

Psychologists call this "growing out of ADHD".

I think this means we can make a torrent client with a built in function that uses 0.1% of 1 CPU core to train an ML model on anything you download. You can download anything legally with it then. 👌

God this is equally terrible and hilarious 😂

For example, The Associated Press reported that an official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms. It claimed it too had a child in school in New York City, but when confronted by the group members, it later apologized before its comments disappeared, according to screenshots shown to The Associated Press.

Polestar sells something for a similar price and better quality, and without awkward associations with a billionaire nazi.

I've seen this claim recently and it's rubbish.

Yes, if by "nothing" we mean writing next to no code, because they're busy either:

• architecting software solutions, as they're knowledgeable enough that they should be doing this instead of writing code
• understanding a lot of what is going on in components and/or the system so that when there's an issue they say "oh, this is likely because of X" and the resolution takes days instead of weeks.

I.e. yes, there is a percentage of developers who we pile other tasks on and they don't get to write code.

My experience is that the more knowledgeable developers get, the less code they write.

Then neurodivergent peeps are different - an Autistic dev might be super knowledgeable and happy writing unit tests because they don't enjoy the uncertainty of large problems, or an ADHD developer might have a large system-wide view but write what seem like small contributions.

Oh that's rich. So what they're saying is somehow every other smartwatch company can engineer not only a way to solve the technical limitations, but a full smartwatch in under three years, while one of the most powerful tech companies somehow thought "naah, connecting to android is a lot more difficult than a self driving car or a VR headset with an integrated computer and video passthrough, we better shelve that idea".

Yeah ok Apple.

Can we do something like reporting Denuvo or the kernel anticheats as malware in Windows defender?

A game with a built in system lever logger that could theoretically monitor even your bank transactions should be reported as spyware/malware and users installing it should have to expressly acknowledge / authorise this.

At this point, and given the current state of Proton (👍) and the current state of Windows (👎), the question should be, "Does the new version of Wine run Windows apps better than Windows?"

Tolerance requires rejecting intolerant people.

Something I find incredibly weird about US company culture is how they talk about overtime like it's a good thing.

"Our employees worked weekends, days and nights to make this happen! We wouldn't have succeeded without people who are willing to give up their personal lives!"

I hope they not only succeed but get shares. Doing weekends or nights for a company you don't (partially) own feels like a con.

Sure, just like other brick and mortar stores can refuse to give you backups of a DVD you own.

As long as the installer works offline this is just as good. It's up to you to store it in whichever format you prefer so that you don't lose it - hard drive, thumb drive, DVD...

If you nuke your computers hard drive with the installers of your games, or you step on your blu rays with games and break them, then you lose access to them. As it's always been, no matter the format?

It's okay. He wasn't a CEO so all good. Not like inmates deserve human rights or anything. /s

Could any kind soul provide a TL;DW for those of us who can't watch a video (for whatever reason)?

the shutdown command was a warning not a request.

Such wise words.

It's because they're not AAA anymore. They went AAAA so I guess they've had a financial rating overflow and now they've gone negative.

Because he might not be "Middle Eastern" or "Dictator" but he behaves exactly like "some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator".

Yeah, I'm not going to defend training AI with copyrighted works... But I'm not going to waste energy siding with anyone who was okay with X. If you stayed in X, you'vr made your own bed. Now don't cry because the owner is an AI-pandering nazi, we all knew that already.
