It’s hit and miss with all the ones I’ve tried. One option is to consult multiple models and see what they agree on. But if they’ve all ingested the same kind of training data they may make some of the same mistakes so you still can’t just trust the results. You have to use your own judgement in the end.
That said, they can raise things you didn’t think about. They’re not great the big picture things though, so again it comes down to your own judgement.
Plus it went from Canadian owned to American. One more Canadian business down the drain. That won’t endear a bran to Canadians, particularly in the current climate.
Tim Hortons is awful. I can’t imagine how bad your fast food must be.
I live by “Move things and breakfast.”
My Apple-using friends seem split on this when I ask them whether Macs are stable these days. I’ve heard from several people that their reputation for stability is a hangover from the past, and updates in recent years have been somewhat unreliable. But it would be hard to get good comparative data given that the companies won’t be eager to share the numbers.
They have the Windows Insider program, which is basically beta testing - and maybe sometimes alpha testing these days.
As the article mentions, it’s because Microsoft cut down their quality control to the point where they’re just sending stuff out then reacting when people report what breaks. Sure they have their “insider” builds but that program isn’t working very well to catch these issues that find their way into release builds.
Back in the day they had a massive testing lab and a big team of testers. Then they fired them all just over a decade ago. We can thank Satya Nadella I guess. He’s more of a line-go-up man than a good quality products person.
That bit’s just genetic.
In a blog post published in May, the company said it had “found no evidence to date that Microsoft’s Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza.”
But Microsoft said this month that it had enlisted the law firm Covington & Burling to conduct a further review after a report that Israel’s military surveillance agency intercepted millions of mobile phone calls made by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and stored them on Azure servers. That trove helped inform the selection of bombing targets in Gaza, according to reporting by the Guardian newspaper, Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine, and Local Call, a Hebrew-language news site.
Who are you going to believe? The company that stands to make big profits from collaborating with genociders, or the independent journalists calling them out for it? It’s a tough one.
These people will kill you and/or your children for their own short-term gain. They should be treated accordingly.
Yes but I’d say it started 10 years before that, growing in numbers through the first few years of the 1980s.
The whole “old people are bad at tech” thing is a bit long in the tooth now. Many people who grew up with computers are now old, and many young people are just as baffled by the command line as any grandmother.
I’m using several of them too, but the update refuses to uninstall. Oh well, fingers crossed eh? Thanks Microsoft.
Age verification isn’t really age verification: it’s identity verification. And once you have given your identity to one or two websites, data brokers will ensure that all your other activity on the internet will eventually be tied to it. Burner devices and anonymous VPNs could help, but only until those become illegal too.
This will have a chilling effect on not only every kind of discourse the fascists hate, but also political organization and people’s ability to resist. You won’t be able to organize a protest online without the police knowing in advance who is likely to come and finding a pretext to intimidate or pre-arrest them.
It’s a shitty headline (encouraged by the scientists in their own report) but an interesting discovery.
Charley Johnson, president of the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the bureau inquired about doing an ad campaign or working with a radio group in Canada to say Canadians are always welcomed and the area loves its Canadian friends, but the particular group he inquired with declined.
They can’t assure us we’re welcome. All they can say is that we’re welcome if we don’t get kidnapped and disappeared to some secret prison. Personally, I’ll just pass on the USA as long as it is fascist. Maybe get your president to stop threatening our country and abducting people at the border and off the street, then we might reconsider.
And North Dakota is extremely Republican. They enthusiastically support all of this, and then wonder why they don’t get tourists.
Bill Gates’s wealth is listed as about $118 billion. Steve Wozniak says his is “maybe $10 million plus a couple of homes,” so perhaps $20m if they’re very fancy homes. This makes Bill Gates about $117,980,000,000 richer than Steve Wozniak - a completely different category of wealth. I’m sure there are plenty of asshole millionaires but asshole billionaires are immeasurably more dangerous. Woz couldn’t play the Bill Gates kinds games with his money even if he wanted to.
Anyway, I consider myself pretty left, and pretty pro-workers owning the means of production, but I think we should be going after the billionaires first, and not wasting our time on millionaires unless they’re doing something unusually bad.
I think the aim is to get people to switch to a more ethical streaming service, if they want to stream music. Spotify isn’t the only option.
Never heard of them. Is this a generic beige box PC-compatible desktop? There were thousands of those brands in the 1990s, just small shops building PCs from standard parts and sticking their badge on the box.
