I think the idea is that behavior that seems abnormal, or a significant departure from your norm might be seen as fraud. I’m not sure what kind of fraud you’d experience in a search engine, but here we are. If I had to make a charitable guess, maybe it’s related to you possibly being logged in somewhere and a fraudster may visit those websites (like shopping websites)? I personally think it’s bullshit with a laughably weak veil of security.
By the way, I love the term, “cognitively bankrupt” lol, I’m stealing it.
Yeah I could never get into either. eMacs bindings feel odd at times, though some are pretty good. I wish I could get into Doom emacs like some others. And gimp…I know how to crop stuff and concatenate images, but that’s it
It’s likely transpiring and not compiling, so it’s a lot easier than it seems. Source: made a language that adds features to Python and transpiles to valid Python.
What’s wild to me is how Yann LeCun doesn’t seem to see this as an issue at all. Many other leading researchers (Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Frank Hutter, etc.) signed that letter on the threats of AI and LeCun just posts on Twitter and talks about how we’ll just “not build” potentially harmful AI. Really makes me lose trust in anything else he says.
Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...
We learn the metric system in our schools. It’s part of our curriculum. We learn it in math classes, we learn it in science classes, we learn about it in history classes as well.
And apparently promptly have an episode of amnesia because every adult here seems to not know how to convert.
I never know how to answer this. I grew up till middle school in Canada and the rest of my school in India. I rarely get dentist with many Indian traditions, but I also didn’t spend enough time in Canada to be a “real” Canadian.
I just flip a coin in my head and answer each time. And then get the follow-up asking where my parents are from. Just ask my race, you coward.
Yup, that’s been my experience with getting people to at least consider Linux as well. The first thing they ask when I tell them it’s a different OS like Mac is, “so can it run XYZ?” Most people don’t actually care and just want something that runs the apps they use.
Interestingly, my mom (a Windows user her whole life) seemed just as alienated by macOS as by Linux. Her work gave her a Mac and she couldn’t understand anything after about a week so she just asked for a Windows system instead.
Kind of. The app doesn’t in any way tell you that you can use the card balance to pay part of your bill and then use a credit card for the rest; I only found out when a barista told me
Enter Maestro, a unix-like monolithic kernel that aims to be compatible with Linux in order to ensure wide compatibility. Interestingly, it is written in Rust. It includes Solfége, a boot system and daemon manager, maestro-utils, which is a collection of system utility commands, and blimp, a package manager. According to Luc,...
It’s time for the annual “look how much weight I gained over the holidays 😞”, and New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Does anyone use a food and exercise tracker app on their Android device? How is your experience with it?
I can’t seem to find the option in my User Settings. Chris from Nintendo told me to download the Parental Controls app, which works, but it only started measuring from the moment of download.
This is such an odd choice to me. I have no idea why they decided on this. Also it doesn’t remember the play time for every game, just the top N. God forbid they use the few extra bytes to store that information.
Is it a rule imposed by the phone carriers, who want you to buy a different plan with no voice service if you have a tablet? It can’t be the phone makers since the are so many. It can’t be Android software licenses since Apple seems affected too. I’d be pretty interested in a tablet sized phone. But they seem to have maxed...
I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community.
