Camp outside their headquarters in Bellevue? /s

I think they will become like IBM, once dominant, not dead today but pretty much irrelevant compared to what they once were.

Perhaps some of them are betting on the AI bubble crashing in the next two years, bringing prices down, maybe, hopefully?

The files are IN the computer!

Mhm. And despite their pledge to investigate, Microslop fired four of its employees pointing it out to them. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/society-equity/microsoft-fires-four-workers-on-site-protests-over-companys-ties-israel-2025-08-29/

You should enter and leave the country with the same passport (important if your country checks passports on exit), but you can switch it up en route. Generally if you need help with something in one of the countries of your nationality you go to that embassy, for example if a disaster hits and you need to be evacuated, whichever embassy would attempt at assisting you to get to that nation.

AI has its uses, but the feeling of “being left behind because of a mental model shift” is a fiction created by AI companies burning hundreds of billions on generating FOMO instead of developing their somewhat useful technology.

You don’t have to write off AI entirely, just don’t fall for the hype.

At that time it was still kind of a research project than a “it’s going to take over everything” hype and FUD machine.

His opinions on AI today seem more enthusiastic than I would be, but well clear of the delusional level of AI-boosters.

If you don’t want to see so much China and Russia-glazing, just block yogthos and jackeroni, that should cut it down about 40%. I personally don’t mind agendaposting because I can tell from the get-go who it’s coming from. There are prolific anti-China agendaposters too, for example from an account named Scotty.

There was one particular drama I have in mind but I knew as I was writing, but people may come back months later and think the same thing. I still kept it that way as it will still ring true regardless of what the next drama will be.

I know reddit used to have a “general” reddit.com page at the beginning, but here it is more like world shitpost where people put whatever.

You may or not have seen recent cross-instance dramas, but that is part of the reason why I think it is better to have a fragmented and decentralized set of instances instead of one melting pot, so that it’s not one set of admins calling the shots on behalf of all of Lemmy.

Usually I get into a game because I have a goal, which could be directly related to the storyline, or an explicit in-game objective (get all the collectibles, get an achievement, etc.) but other times I make my own goals, often like completing a challenge with different tools than the one the game expects a player to. Or in open ended non-story driven games I essentially figure out what I want to try to accomplish over one or more play sessions, tends to happen with factory builder games.

USB-C in the EU, micro USB-B in the US that breaks after 100 plug cycles, and a bespoke 36-port parallel connector in Japan just to mess with people.

Right but essentially the Anthropic Marketing team made extraordinary claims about what Mythos is, pretended like it’s too dangerous for public use, that it can find and patch vulnerabilities undiscovered by human researchers for 20 years, etc. etc. but it’s own technical team and big firm partners haven’t brought forward evidence that it’s all that much. It’s probably not useless, and it might be an improvement in some ways to its other models, but having an “additional researcher” is not really something that is too scary for public use.

It’s like if a drug company was hyping up a miracle drug, but it’s really just acetaminophen and ibuprofen in a different dosage combination. It treats pain and fever fine enough, and maybe better in some cases but not as game changing as they say.

If you had the ability to listen to what two women, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, and countless others were incessantly saying was going to happen if you elected him, you would have known what would happen if America elected him.

Your setup is looking sweet! Enjoy gaming on your shiny new Linux battlestation :)

The important takeaway is that dark money is banned from DNC primaries, so even though the AIPAC-specific resolution failed, AIPAC can’t contribute without reporting disclosing the amounts and subject to federal contribution limits and other regulations.

An W11 update in February took my work computer 1 hour to update, even Windows put “estimated 50 mins” on the Windows Update screen. Decently fast processor, 16GB RAM and SSD.

I think our IT manager paused updates for everyone in late January because of all the issues it was causing, then that Friday afternoon I walked around the office and saw a bunch of people taking a “second lunch” because their computer was in the process of updating Windows.

Yes if you’re time horizon is 10yrs, then spending 15% more for the upgrade to -70 gpu will be worth it in the short and long run and your 750W PSU will handle it just fine. There will hopefully in 2-3 years be cheaper RAM and SSDs again after the AI bubble. You will also have the opportunity to upgrade your CPU at least 2 generations forward without changing your motherboard, if you ever need to.
