So is the problem that they are greedy evil capitalist, or that they are stupid people who don’t even know how to run a business to make profit?

The NYT is a business. Why would you expect them to give you anything for free?

I fixed that for you.

If I wanted to hide something from the authorities, I wouldn’t do it using a system whose defining feature is that all transaction data is visible to anyone.

The government is not just politicians though. Actually, elected representatives are the tip of the iceberg and are in general responsible for the public debates around legislative direction , not for running the country. When you apply for a passport, request a permit for building a plant, apply for aid or for a research grant, apply for a visa, fly a plane, develop a military weapon system, market a new drug, a new car, go to a national park, pay or not pay taxes etc., it’s never elected politicians who do the work. There are tens of thousands of competent and dedicated people who spent their lives in the service of the public, despite the common trope that government jobs are cushy places for lazy losers. The “swamp” that MAGA hates so much, because it embodies (or used to embody) America much more than a reality tv star elected for president.

No. What is it?

Of course, and this was also true before LLMs. Don’t want to buy MS Word? Just write a word processor.
The only catch is that it’s likely several orders of magnitude more expensive and difficult to write software for personal use (with or without AI) than to purchase it or to use a free alternative.

Using AI to write scripts and macros to automate tasks that didn’t worth automated previously, is definitely a thing though. Someone link the xckd which explains the function between time spent on automation and time gained on not having to do the task.

Going with a guess here: the green one looks cloudy; maybe colloidal or other material present in the green but not in the black tea helps bring the sugar into solution. But could be simply the vessel shape. It would be neat to repeat the experiment swapping the vessels.

A Windows that could run Office and Adobe software for work without giving the user brain damage? Sounds like a nice idea, maybe could even compete with Mac.

Or the grass is more resilient

Quite the dishonest argument, especially fuck off with the water is processed too line. The problem with processed foods is not that they go through a manufacturing process, but that the end product contains added sugar, salt, saturated fat, or nitrates in amounts not typically found in fresh homemade foods. The rest is semantics.

Sounds like products like huel and soylent are just for you! Would be healthier probably.

Good find, it’s shady as fuck they healthy-wash the processed food. But your post is also interesting for a second reason- you care about eating healthy and do some specific diet, and yet you plan to live on frozen apple pie, whose nutritional value, traditional or not, is practically just sugar with fat? Unexpected choice for a conscious diet.

I would be interested in the reverse: a service that regularly scrapes a list of google photos shared albums and saves the new pictures to immich.

Unrelated to the topic of the article, looking at the graph made me realize that GPUs didn’t use to be so expensive, and the change is not so recent.
I have been gaming on PCs since I was a kid, first on a 286 in DOS. I don’t remember what were the first games, but I think it was ASCII graphics. Sprites were of course even better.

I have been building my own computers for decades. I never wanted to spend more than necessary, so I only updated things every now and then, and I always picked a good value GPU from the budget to mid tier. I always understood that PC gaming has a niche where people build monster configurations with powerful GPUs to run games at max settings with unnecessary high resolution and frame rates. It makes sense for a hobby, it’s cool. But you don’t actually need that much power to enjoy games, right?

What I just realized is that the slice of people who look for high performance GPUs for games is likely much bigger than I thought. At some point the industry made consumers believe that you need 4k and 120 fps (or maybe more). That the point of PC gaming is to beat the specs of consoles. But that’s so not true. A PC is great because it’s a general purpose open platform to run whatever software you want. If a game is not fun at mid setting full HD 30 fps, it’s not fun. How many of the people dishing out north of $300 on a GPU are competitive e sports players or popular streamers? Probably most of them are not. 90% of the progress in GPU hardware is likely spent on generating frames that are not perceived at resolutions that are not seen.

Roon on the server and ARC on the phone

They do have infinite resources (a lot of money) relative to the difficulty and expense of getting into a private tracker (not a lot of money). If you are in a jurisdiction where seeding is an offense, it is only a matter of enforcement priorities whether users who leak their ip address get targeted.

As someone fluent in Alien, I can confirm she sounded like gibberish, but the accent was on spot.

Europe is a small area while San Francisco is a large area? dude you are dumb as fuck, sorry.

Some are slums, some are decent. It’s not irrelevant, because you specifically said the US housing is unique because it was built fast. America was not built out in a rush in 10 years while millions were without homes, it was populated gradually over 4-5 centuries. That is a long time compared to the average lifespan of a house. The availability of lumber is a much bigger factor than speed.
