This is such a terrible application. These things would drain their battery just running the pi and electronics. Why such a high power platform for such basic functionality?

This screams of free money flooding startups. Amateur hour.

That’s one heck of an interesting statement from the police chief. Odd how prevalent this is across the world…

This is actually awesome to see. Sadly the main thing holding Linux back is still just momentum. And for a lot of people MS word. Even if the free suites are pretty good nowadays.

Oh my god. Absolute dumbasses at the record companies actively trying to act evil. Barely anybody will stream these and it sure isn’t so malicious of the ‘store’ selling these records is doing it for free.

I mean how many people are actually going to buy these ever again? Also their damage claims are per usual pulled from the oceangate depths of their ass.

If anyone remembers when torrenting was big and the riaa was essentially claiming something like 20%+ of the US economy’s value in lost profits. These people don’t munch on crayons, but they really should start because it would be a more intelligent hobby to take up.

Yep. I also didn’t think this would work as well as it does. Remarkably good platform so far.

He is spot on.

Algorithms and AI aren’t even any different. AI is literally a complex system of nonlinear functions. It’s not black magic.

If I wrote a traditional nonlinear alto with computer optimized parameters it only differs from ML models in that it’s less complex. Not understanding your product is not a defense.

Could also just be quite a bit further along the autism spectrum.

Hard to say for sure, but he’s never struck me as sincerely psychopathic. Narcissistic sure, but not really psychopathic.

Just waiting on some subs to start moving here. But yeah I’ve seen huge decreases even in the volume of posts. The quality of comments has also gone off a cliff. I think the most engaged users were a tiny subset.

Definitely lost the rational and measured discussion crowd although they were always shrinking as a percentage. It’s even more outrage and dumb hot takes now.

To be honest I don’t know. I’m continuously surprised by how few politicians and rich people are shot by people they have wronged.

Like if it was your only kid or something I don’t know how you hold yourself back in the face of this kind of injustice.

The one time congress actually did a case study on drug pricing they found that in all the internal discussions a drug company had while setting the price R&D costs were not mentioned even 1 single time.

So it’s got nothing to do with profit.

Drunk driving seems to be severely under prosecuted for well to do and connected people.

I think it’s changing partially due to body cams now. But it’s still pretty bad.

I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.

Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.

I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.

Actually here is the cdc saying 476k

https://www.cdc.gov/...

Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.

Yup. And now the founder is rich when he really should be in jail.

As LTT said. Threads is the result of the Zuck flicking his tongue out and tasting blood.

But I mean we (society, not me, miss me with that) are still clearly subscribing to a social media site run by the lizard people and calling it an improvement.

Which says a lot.

Predictable. Biased datasets and company execs who can tell AI from their own ass.

The sooner assholes who don’t know the pitfalls and limitations of AI get punished for this stupidity the better off society will be.

But I’m not holding my breath based on the money around it.

You don’t have to have merit to file a lawsuit. You can try to intimidate or bleed a defendant out.

But this is also how you end up with stuff blowing up in your face spectacularly.

The Waltons in general appear to be terrible people as a family. But yeah I remember reading this.

Interesting. But I’m not holding my breath yet. I’d suspect impact won’t be as huge as it’s being made out to be like a breakup.
