  • Yep! It worked for me!

  • What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?

  • The Apple II is still such a fucking cool computer.

    Sure, my watch is about a billion times more powerful, but my watch will never be as cool as the Apple II.

  • Zip drives still hold the most data of any media. Science may say otherwise, but science doesn't usually come in bright neon colored sleeves.

  • Was the byline written by AI?

    This comment was also brought to you by the artificial intelligence boom, and has as much to do with it.

    You can still purchase this comment as an NFT.

    I'm working with a supplier to create a limited edition Pog, with this comment printed on it.

    This is the official comment of the new millennium.

    This comment is drifting slowly backwards in time, in hopes of escaping the AI hype machine into an earlier, equally stupid hype train, but one made more tolerable by nostalgia.

    This comment still only costs 5 cents.

  • Lol. I can still hear John Candy's delivery. He had genius delivery. RIP John Candy.

    Edit, also I'm glad I'm not the only one who went straight from Space Dog to Barf.

  • I think they are absolutely, positively, going to breach their face database and everyone's purchase history all over the Internet.

    I've been watching for an event like this with popcorn ready.

    I've got a good/bad/terrible feeling that they're playing for keeps in the race to be the biggest consumer privacy headline public relations disaster.

  • What's the benefit to the customer here?

    There's no intended benefit to the customer.

  • Honestly, they'll probably miss that and pay massive fines in Illinois. It seems to be the traditional approach by companies that get into facial recognition to also not bother to listen to anyone who could have told them not to.

  • Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts

    Jump

  • If even 1% of their companies pay off, they make a profit.

    I suspect they make a profit even when 0% pan out. They just need to find someone gullible enough to buy in at the peak, and there's a new sucker born every minute.

  • "This well known problem that prevents many of you from buying the thing I'm selling is basically solved. You should buy the thing I sell, from me, now. Trust me. It's safe now."

  • The empire of C++ strikes back with Safe C++ proposal

    Jump

  • I have seen decades of would-be "C++ killers" come and go. I think that in the end, it is C++ that kills C++.

    I think you're right.

    I am, admittedly, a card carrying member of the C++ curmudgeon club. But I would gladly gravitate to a sexy new C++ subset for my projects, if one gains some momentum.

    I do a lot with goLang, right now, instead.

    But I would adore joining with a community effort to choose reasonable safe default C++ libraries for a bunch of use cases, if one gained the traction to cover my own use cases.

  • Agreed!

    I don't mean sarcasticly, honestly. As you said, it's still valuable science.

  • Ah yes, regression

    Jump

  • Looks like a successfully trained learning model, to me. (Sarcasm)

  • How do you prepare to vote?

    Jump

  • I've been impressed with the results of searching for the word "scandal" alongside each candidate name.

    I've learned about racist incumbent judges, administrators being investigated for embezzlement, and folks with a history of slashing funding to things I care about like education and fire protection.

  • "border authorities and their supporters in Congress are continuing to promote unproven, AI-driven technologies as the latest remedy for years of failures, including the ones voiced in the memo obtained by NBC News. These systems involve cameras controlled by algorithms that automatically identify and track objects or people of interest. But in an age when algorithmic errors and bias are being identified nearly everyday in every sector including law enforcement, it is unclear how this technology has earned the trust of the government."

    It's easy to conclude that the intent here was always to establish an automated general threat of harm - to all poor people in sight of these towers.

    We've known for almost 20 years that it's not converging on anything like a solution to the excuses given for setting it up.

    But spending that money starts to make sense when examined through a lens of a mindset of open class warfare.

  • I love that someone even bothered with a study.

    (Edit: To be clear, I am both amused, and also genuinely appreciate that the science is being done.)

  • Hitler uses Docker

    Jump

  • I don't think it's super useful for production (I prefer chef/vagrant)

    Yeah!

    Docker and OCI get abused a lot to thoughtlessly ship a copy of the developer's laptop into production.

    Life is so much simpler after taking the time to build thoughtful correct recipes in an orchestration tool.

    Anything that makes it less painful for a dev to destroy and rebuild an environment that's corrupt or even just a bit spooky pays for itself almost immediately.

    Exactly. The learning curve is mean, but it's worth it quickly as soon as the first mystery bug dies in a rebuild fire.

  • Which scene in a movie/series do you think didn't make any sense to the plot ?

    Jump

  • Yeah. It is consistent with the time travel rules in Looper, and the rules in Looper are just kinda silly.

    It makes me sad because there's no real need for it - the plot to Looper would still have worked without the silly bits.
