Ah the joys of being an hourly employee. They can try calling me at 3am. I won’t be answering though.

Sound quality will be exactly the same among any of the services that offer lossless files (ie all of the ones that aren’t Spotify). That’s literally the point of lossless.

Alright, hear me out: we split up Alphabet. Ads and search can be one company, since those two are always going to be related, while Chrome, Android, and the hardware division become the other company. This should help reduce Google’s current incentive for privacy invasion.

Where are you referring to? In North America, much of the infrastructure wasn’t changed, it was created for the first time to accommodate cars.

So after reading the article, are you editorializing or did Wired change their title? No where does it mention the legality of selling the Sakura in North America. It only mentions that Nissan has not chosen to sell it outside of Japan.

Depends on what knowledge we are talking about. Personally, I’d be feeding it tons of manuals so that I could ask questions like “Which version of software x introduced feature y?” There’s no extra context I need, I just need a version number to give to a customer. And in my industry, that type of info just doesn’t show up on Google. So having an LLM that can answer the question in seconds saves me an hour of sifting through manuals.

I’m betting that it’s a vet.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. And this is actually the first time I’ve heard of some use of LLMs that I may actually be interested in.

I never understood this one. What kind of course would you be doing that required very expensive paid software, but you didn’t know ahead of time that said software was required. I think the imaginary OP is just an idiot.

Yeah, that’s why I said I’m in favour of maintaining government funding of science missions.

I view space development as very, very, very nice to have, but not absolutely essential. I would prefer to tax the shit out of the wealthy to pay for essential things at home (such as health care), and let private equity fund the nice to haves like commercial space travel. The exception would be for science missions. I’d prefer for the government to continue funding pure research, so that knowledge doesn’t get gated behind pay walls.

The whole NFT/crypto currency thing is so incredibly frustrating. Like, being able to verify that a given file is unique could be very useful. Instead, we simply used the technology for scamming people.

Is your imagination really this limited?

Building a proper space station as a jumping off point for further exploration of the solar system, asteroid mining, He3 mining on the moon. These are just the basic things that are envisioned/planned. All of which would require commercial space travel to be a thing. I’d much rather we extract that funding from taking a couple rich people for a joyride as opposed to getting governments to subsidize it.

I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the “computers” does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.

You’ve probably met many who weren’t awful at all. But being not awful, you likely wouldn’t even be aware that they are Christians.
