The cheapest method is to abandon the body. People die without family all the time and the State has a method to dispose of unclaimed corpses. Cost $0

I think of analog time as kinda a pie chart telling me how much of the minute and hour that’s elapsed. So I don’t see 13:45, I see 75% past one o’clock.

Does that make sense?

Seeing the crowd of people squeeze off the Airplane like a tube of toothpaste only to all congregate around baggage claim is the same energy as passing aggressively on the street only for you to pull up next to them at the redlight.

This is amazing news for anyone who games on Linux, whether you use Valve’s hardware or not.

My technology skill makes me satisfied that your scale starts at zero, but annoyed it didn’t end with nine.

The American Psychological Association met with the FTC in February to urge regulators to address the use of AI chatbots as unlicensed therapists.

Protect our revenue, er patients!

You should know the difference between dejure and defacto.

I don’t want to alarm anyone from outside the US, but the pigs are pretty loose about how the rules apply to themselves.

At that price point, you may as well get a laptop, desktop, or just a frigging XBox (with some games).

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.

-Microsoft, in May

Dear Microsoft, If you looked for evidence, that is going to imply that your software could totally be used to harm people, it just isn’t in this case. As far as you know.

Wow, Republican delusion lines up perfectly with big-business interests? weird.

Also weird that the “extreme” climate agenda has been calling for strengthening the power grid for decades.

I was able to roll-back this update. But my computer is still running Windows. Help!

We have to sacrifice kids to the gun god. Otherwise he won’t protect us from crime and tyranny.

Your justification for carnism is a whataboutism with private jets and billionaires? That’s not a coherent argument. It only grazes the issue of global warming and completely ignores the cruelty of factory farming. (which is also a feature of having billionaires run everything). You’re implying that you are entitled to dominate animals because billionaires dominate society.

The hate for vegans is irrational. It happens because meat eaters know that they’re wrong and imagine that the existence of vegans is a judgment on themselves.

I’m not vegan, or even vegetarian. I just acknowledge the argument for carnism was lost a long time ago. And I’m willing to acknowledge that I often priorities selfish interest over what I know is right. (which is also obvious to everyone with a pinch of self-awareness and a molecule of honesty.)

Boy, you’ve obviously never seen Precious (2009)

And they did exactly the same thing with Better Call Saul in the character Howard Hamlin.

I think AI power usage has an upside. No amount of hype can pay the light bill.

AI is either going to be the most valuable tech in history, or it’s going to be a giant pile of ash that used to be VC capital.

ratings systems are dehumanizing for employees while re-enforcing entitled consumerism for the public.

I wanna rate the managers.

It’s really funny that someone would look at that meme and think “yea, I am being bullied”.

The critical battlefield experience can be had on Linux. By that I mean checking to see if it’s selling better than Call of Duty and arguing about it.

“I think we will see computing become more ambient, more pervasive, continue to span form factors, and certainly become more multi-modal in the arc of time … I think experience diversity is the next space where we will continue to see voice becoming more important. Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”

You could fertilize 200 acres with that much bullshit. truly a crime against the English language.
