Nothing calms me down like the adrenaline rush of cutting demons in half with a chainsaw in Doom Eternal

Diamonds do make sense as gemstones because of their hardness. They’ll stay scratch free for life. But ya, the diamond industry is garbage.

Second paragraph of the article OP linked to mentions he was a lifetime smoker. While the fires might exacerbate his symptoms, it sounds like he was already in very poor health.

Eh, at least they’re trying to learn more about the subject. I think the real concern is people that don’t know what’s going on and don’t care to find out.

It’s been like this for decades

It looks significantly better/more modern if you just paint it white: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b5/d0/24/b5d0249b79001b96b184ad6a86a014db.jpg

Nice cherry picked examples. iMessage isn’t available on other platforms, and it’s impossible to join a shared iphotos album from a non apple device. Two features that are arguably the most important for non apple users.

It’s not about buying things, it’s about winning the game and staving off boredom and existential dread.

You’re correct, but somehow PC became a term for a windows, or non-mac computers. Probably because of all the advertising apple did to set Macs apart from other computers.

Machine learning is AI. I think the term you’re looking for is general artificial intelligence, and no one is claiming LLMs fall under that label.

Yes, my comment was about Kyle Gass.

He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.

The thing is, if he had access to his hard drive at any point in the last 10 years or so he would have sold his Bitcoin long before it was this valuable, like many, many other people who used to own Bitcoin and aren’t currently millionaires. The fact that he lost his hard drive is the only reason it’s actually worth anything.

Why? They’re providing a service with that contract. NASA isn’t capable or doesn’t want to do everything in house. If they deem it beneficial to outsource some projects to contractors then what’s wrong with that?

Absolutely if private entities want to go to space they should be able to. What grounds would you block them on? This is not a substitution or replacement of public space agencies

You’re protected from government persecution for the things you say by the first amendment. It doesn’t protect you from being sued for harassment or slander by other citizens.

Idiots shouldn’t buy things they can’t afford. I have no sympathy for someone that buys a gigantic overpriced truck and gets it repossessed because they’re not paying the bill.

It’s just a tool like any other. An experienced developer knows that you can’t apply every tool to every situation. Just like you should know the difference between threads and coroutines and know when to apply them. Or know which design pattern is relevant to a given situation. It’s a tool, and a useful one if you know how to use it.

Not really, it’s doable with chatgpt right now for programs that have a relatively small scope. If you set very clear requirements and decompose the problem well it can generate fairly high quality solutions.
