Outside of a few small local businesses that actually care about doing right by people, loyalty hasn’t mattered for decades dude. Companies don’t give a shit about any of us. Why even bother thinking in terms of loyalty, it’s completely misaligned with how they operate.

My high school never had math competitions so I’ll never know how I’d do. :(

I don’t know man, I’m not a doctor. They just had a Discord already so I assume they wanted one.

Yeah, and a Matrix instance

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Is the AI open source? Curious what you’re using and what your experiences with it are.

Did they? I think I remember some authors no longer taking payment for them. Maybe some others took theirs down of their own accord. I don’t remember hearing about Google themselves taking anything down

It’s simultaneously possible to realize that something is useful while also recognizing the damage that its trend is causing from a sustainability standpoint, and that neither realization particularly demonstrates a lack of understanding about AI.

The weird thing is, I’m not sure any customers actually do care. it genuinely just feels like engineers finding ways to masturbate over how thin they can get something.

A lot of my leftist friends will still let the bad be the enemy of any sort of good whatsoever it seems. It’s exhausting as a leftist when you can never be outraged enough for other leftists.

Chris Jericho has never been happier

“Return to work”. Motherfuckers, they were already employed. 🙄 I bet CNBC is one of the companies that had a controversial RTO policy. I utterly resent these attempts at trying to normalize deceptive language for return to office schemes subconsciously, like people that don’t want to return to office aren’t working somehow and it’s somehow their fault it’s a problem, and not the fault of an inflexible employer.

Even knowing this, I’m still both in awe and jealous of talented people. Some people I know who can practice so much that they become exceptional at something seem to be immune to burnout on their passions for long periods of time, or seem to have a brain chemistry that remains resilient in the face of it, and that ain’t me. I’ve suspected I have ADHD but it’s hard to get a diagnosis and my doctor said he’s hesitant to diagnose his patients even though he thinks it’s possible (and I’m in Canada where I’m lucky to even have an assigned family doctor so I can’t really get a good second opinion on that). Programming just happens to be one of the few things that I get burned out on the least compared to everything else and even then it’s hard to sustain interest in it for long periods.

As a non-American, US intellectual property law feels absolutely ridiculous to me sometimes. It feels like it incentivizes all the wrong behaviours.

Yeah. Or just use a password wallet.

I was just thinking, streamers might have to be careful actually — you can often both see and hear when they’re typing, so if you correlated the two you could train a key audio → key press mapping model. And then if they type a password for something, even if it’s off-screen from their stream, the audio might clue you in on what they’re typing.

Mozilla has been bullied exactly this way in the past into implementing DRM measures I believe.

Ugh. I’ve been wanting to switch for a while but that’s a bummer to hear. I might just have to bite the bullet and deal with buggy drivers. Back when I got my monitors like 6 years ago there wasn’t a ton of options for sub-5ms IPS displays with adaptive sync technology so I had to go with Acer Predators and G-Sync but now I’m kinda stuck with NVIDIA. I’m sure there’s more options for monitors now but I’m not dropping that kind of money on monitors again.

Unless something has changed? Is GSync still proprietary? (Edit: looks like G-Sync does work on AMD cards now but only for newer monitors, dang.)

Ironically, I remember not long ago it was AMD that used to have the crap Linux drivers.
