> Reading on a E-device is a bother, I have to sift through all the "sponsored" books and whatever other crap the ebook reader company decides to add

Sounds like you just chose the wrong device. My Boox does none of this. I just put the epub file in the device and read it.

I remember it well. At least Canonical also jumped on the systemd bandwagon when upstream (Debian) made a choice, instead of dragging upstart on, like it has done with countless other projects that are past their time (juju looking at you)

It was deprioritized for years, the team gutted to staff other shinier projects you likely haven’t even heard of.

They just want to earn at least the same as a plumber.

> at this point, a WYSIWYG just seems like a huge step backwards from just using markdown.

Not for a layperson. There’s a reason WYSIWYG word processors completely obliterated the previous “needs an explicit preview mode” generation ones.

Driving across three states to go buy something is peak US :)

Everything. No radio signals make it in or out of the capsule due to ionization from the heat and plasma of reentry.

> Not sure what they were trying to solve there with git and forges already existing.

What?

Bzr predates git (by a few days but still). Launchpad predated GitHub by a lot. canonical just played those cards horribly and lost.

The project bzr was trying to uproot may not be the one you’re thinking of. First release of Bzr predates git by about a month.

> instead of making 10 people get in their car and make a round trip to the store

Tell me you’re in the US without telling me you’re in the US :)

“I couldn’t find vulnerabilities in Sam’s devices so I contracted a rando over the internet to Molotov his house” sounds fairly implausible :)

As a bonus the machine looks like crap so it’s far less likely to get stolen.

> Don't be scared. Fuck around a bit.

Bet this person never heard about FAFO

We ran a 3-line BBS (Renegade and then Wildcat) on OS/2 on a 486-33 with 12 MB RAM. This was in 1994 or so. Great way to multitask several dos applications!

> how do you think it'll do at sending emails, doing analysis, writing reports

Unless it learns to make every single email or report NOT a wall of text and reusing the same AI-written telltale constructs (it’s not A. It’s B. You’re absolutely right - the key insight is that I’m writing to express my FEELING). Probably not much better than they do now.

> So companies have the choice of paying Chris $84,000 plus a whole bunch of benefits for 40 hours of mediocre work, or they can pay probably $100-$1000 for an AI

What makes you think they won’t price the AI much closer to what Chris was costing? They know the employer already pays that cost and the premise here is the AI works better and 24/7 (service outages notwithstanding).

> I think what we get on the other side will be far more human and meaningful. Humans building things and sharing value with other humans doing the same.

I want my AI to do dishes and laundry so that I can write and paint. Not for it to write and paint so I can do dishes and laundry.

No, TFA says the picture was associated to an old account that got flagged - presumably anything linked to that account, picture included, is now cursed.

> I just do not know what to about it any longer. Each time I create a new Microsoft account

There’s your problem. Don’t create a Microsoft account? Why would you need one anyway? To use windows? Why? Get Linux or switch to Mac.

“Not until it is context window”???

Never heard of Session until today.

> Between the genuine weirdos, the autistic and/or the neuro-divergent, is there anyone left, really?

Heh this has a total “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded” vibe.

I too would take issue with being compared with that guy if i were a chicken.

What in anything parent said makes you think it’s not a good thing?

All he does is flip flop. Was the same with tariffs against everyone last year - he kept backing off at the last moment.

Brutal winters. Hahaha. Meanwhile in Canada.

Dunno man, NOBODY likes auto playing videos, yet creators keep using them for reasons unknown. This is starting to sound a lot like victim blaming. Auto playing videos should not exist, period. End of story.

Yeah! I’m confident when I give an answer. In a real life scenario I would actually research the ones I’m not so sure about - but having a confident first take narrows down that research a lot.

“You averaged 97% confidence but were right 80% of the time.”

Heck yeah.

The article does mention a few instances found over the years, including the windows one. That’s the one I remember though because we used to joke it was not a big deal - the only way for a windows 95 computer to reach 49 days of uptime is if it’s literally not doing anything or being used in any way. Windows 95 would crash if you looked at it funny.

lol reminds me of the windows 95 crash bug after 49.7 days. Have we learned nothing. https://pipiscrew.github.io/posts/why-window/
