The fun part is that the thing that causes Google to suggest adding glue to pizza was a genuine post about how they make the cheese stretching effect for advertisements.

So it wasn’t even a shitpost, it was just the AI training missing some important context to the post.

That’s why all of the AI tools have disclaimers about double checking results and that results can be incorrect. That’s the liability waiver.

There’s definitely still plenty of utility here. Most technical people agree that they’re generally just very good at googling things but what if you don’t know what to search for? An AI can take your poorly worded question, make some kind of sense of it and spit something out.

Whereas anyone who knows how and what to Google will probably find the right answer faster. So it at least levels the playing field a bit.

Maybe.

It was front page on the BBC as well.

Prepare to get inundated with ads for anime girls and other weeb shit.

EDIT: To clarify, I mean “weeb” as a term of endearment rather than the pejorative.

Kushan, 21 days ago

It’s what it’s known as outside of the USA and the term has existed since about 300AD.

It looks like the spaceport from Total Recall (the Arnie one).

I’m pretty sure Warrington’s bus service is owned by the council and it’s dire. Expensive, infrequent and the buses are old.

You can at least turn that off, thank fuck

I wouldn’t mind the performance issues if the experience was even just slightly better. I can never find what I need on teams, messages just get lost in the ether.

Kushan, 23 days ago

We just got forced to ditch slack for teams despite a massive effort from myself and a few others to justify the cost of the platform.

Kind of glad we didn’t get sign off now because this would have been egg on my face.

He makes billions of dollars from YouTube videos or something

That context is exactly why Karl’s content is what it is, it’s the same reason so many YouTubers use click bait titles and stupid thumbnails - it gets more hits and more hits is more money.

If it takes you a week or more of your time to make a single video, of course you’re going to want as big a return from the video as possible. And if the choice is 3x the return for the same effort then it’s a complete no brainer.

You uhhh…you might have missed the sarcasm on that one.

Kushan, 16 days ago

The problem that I see is that all of these alternatives still rely on YouTube at the end of the day.

And the cost of setting up a new video hosting site that’s free to consume content from is ridiculous.

Another recommendation for tdarr, set it up in January and let it transcode away, going to h265 for all my media - saved me over 40TB of space so far and I haven’t noticed a massive drop In quality or had any playback issues.

I don’t think any of the UX problems you’re describing have been solved on any platform. If anything Windows is one of the better examples here, because I’ll be fucked if I can ever find a file on Android and don’t get me started with Linux.

Kushan, 23 days ago

It didn’t require using arcane commands just to sign up and log in. I love IRC and will always remember it fondly, but it wasn’t easy for a novice to use and that’s why things like slack and discord took off.

It’s entirely possible that 24,000 VM’s didn’t count as “large” by VMWare standards.

It’s how agile development is meant to work. The faster you get feedback on a feature, the faster you can improve on it while it’s still green in your head (and the faster you can drop it and put your efforts elsewhere if it turns out to be a dud).

A fully written feature sat there doing nothing is offering you no value.

Sure, but Microsoft has since contributed a lot to Linux and other open source projects. That’s not me saying “oh they’ve changed!”, that’s me saying they’ve made it significantly harder on themselves to bring legal action against because they’ve publicly endorsed and supported the project for so long.

Whatever legal arguments they tried in the past that failed are even weaker now.

If the game is good I’ll buy it, if it’s shit I won’t. I don’t see how these NPC’s will make the game good and I haven’t personally bought an Ubisoft game in several years.

Msn was the best, I’ll never forgive Microsoft for killing it in favour of Skype.

It’s incredibly difficult to read the captions on this meme, there’s not enough contrast with the white text on the light backgrounds.
