Hackers like to glitch other users. Randomly turn into a toilet, have all of your ammunition disappear, suddenly fly into the air and die on impact. It made public servers unplayable. Friends only sessions were necessary

“Actionable insights” is the opposite of these corpo buzzwords.

It’s a phrase I use to shut down clients when they ask for something that doesn’t have value. Also know as interesting but not actionable. I prioritize my time on finding actionable insights. Data that can drive decisions.

This is interesting. It seems a fair resolution would be to pay the content owner what they would have made in ad revenue.

As long as the AI is not reproducing original works to the extent that it violates fair use, I don’t think copyright laws really apply. But there’s definitely lost revenue.

While I am generally in the “copyright doesn’t matter when it comes to AI” camp, I also work in advertising. Most people do not use ad blockers.

This is an interesting point that I haven’t previously considered.

You are kinda missing the point.

It’s not about how energy efficient or inefficient a single ChatGPT prompt is.

It’s that A/C is arguably more important to an individual than your ability to use AI. But while the government asking people to reduce AC usage is not new, AI is.

So we’re introducing new and unnecessary ways to draw power while asking people to tolerate higher temperatures within their homes.

My personal take is that we should be investing in nuclear power so we continue evolving as a society. But I guess we can hold back progress in the name of puttering along with other technology as the world slowly burns and people cook inside their homes

I’m in the US and have these windows. They have screens. They’re also not that special. I prefer the regular windows

You should look at what the requirements look like for an immigrant Visa. The average person in South America does not have the ability to satisfy those requirements. But that doesn’t mean they are unable to become a valuable and contributing member of society.

I know people in the US that came here illegally and have gone on to become business owners. But only because they were able to meet and marry a US citizen.

There needs to be a legal path to entry. And we should be stopping the flood of people coming over the border at the same time.

Eh, but how much of that is tourist visas. And where are they coming from.

I’m of the opinion that an open border with Mexico is an issue. Which just should not be controversial.

But I’m also married to someone who entered with a tourism visa. Legal immigration is nearly impossible in the US. There are very very few options for a person to enter the country and be on a path to a green card. Saying otherwise is purely ignorant.

He claims this legislation will give him the authority he needs to do something. Do you really believe the president of the United States doesn’t have the authority to take action in securing our borders?

I’d like to see the text of this bill, because I don’t believe the White House is incapable of taking action and actually needs additional powers.

I mean, all a politician has to do is say “I will oppose Bidens open border policy” and they’ll win an election.

All Biden has to do is not allow an open border with Mexico, and he might have a chance of getting re-elected.

I had a car with push button start and a CVT. After putting the first 50 miles on the car, the brake light switch died. Nissan, in their ultimate wisdom, used the brake light switch to tell the computer if you are pressing the brake when starting the car. Well, no brake light switch, no starting the engine. Had to get it towed back to the dealership to get fixed.

I now have a real key and a manual transmission.
