Israel is a rogue state holding the world hostage while it commits genocide against Palestinians. Consider donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, avoiding doing business with Israeli companies and lobbying your representatives. Our shared future may well depend on it, and the Palestinians' definitely does.
As if that has ever overcome the American media and political classes' fixation with bipartisanship (which is how the American system inoculates itself against left-wing policy)
I feel like Maine's about to lie down with dogs over this.
It sounds like something Steve Bannon realized in the shower before heading to the Oval Office.
This is an academic point. The US represents one third of the world's military spending because it uses force to further the economic interests of the elite. To work in a "defense" supplier is to support this.
Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow's Chokepoint Capitalism dedicates a chapter to the mechanisms through which TM enforces a virtual monopoly over live music.
Like glibly synthesizing a reimplementation of NextJS
Revolution!
I feel like this has just accelerated what was the ideal scenario all along: high hardware prices push more people to rent
What kind of situation are we in that we need to didactically state this awfully trite point?
And cheap. You still get pretty drunk.
Norman Finkelstein is a notable example of this.
That's how I moved on to reassigning caps lock to escape on my computers.
The 80s and 90s were fun, with Atari, Commodore, DEC, SGI, Sun, HP, Next, even IBM all going at it. I guess widespread Wintel and internet access, plus Google going for commodity hardware for their servers sealed the deal - consolidation was the way forward, competition was dead.
Unlike most other projects of this kind that show up, I'm not sure how to feel about this. What did the author learn about the N64? What quirks did they fight? What do you get out ot just pointing the AI at a problem until it optimizes the solution to an acceptable point? I'd wager not a lot.
Weird line to draw, when the merger of the American tech sector and the military-industrial complex is in full swing. Palantir isn't the only company providing surveillance and economic viability to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Almost as though they're conscious of how much of a dick move this layoff is...
Israel has done this to the Palestinians hundreds of times over since 1948.
Customers require consumer legislation and protections, not further entrenchment of AI oligopolies.
Plus, brain structure and physiology changes thoughout the interweaved processes of learning, aging, acting, emoting, recalling, what have you. It's not an "architecture" that we can technologically recreate, as so much of it emerges from a vastly higher level of complexity and dynamism.
Absolutely everything. Did you see the coterie of CEOs behind him during his second inauguration?
OP is just blaming someone for the audacity of having a morality.
The quality of our work is too subordinated to business leaderships who see the forms of technical insurance we build into software development processes as fat, and are fundamentally opposed to doing things right. Besides solidarity this is the major reason for tech workers to unionize. We won't because we don't have any sense.
Devs cannot reasonably be expected to have ownership over code that is generated overwhelmingly faster than it can be reviewed.
Friend of mine is still rocking a 1st gen retina MacBook Pro (from 2012) for music production!
You could play 320x200 Quake acceptably on a P60. On a DX4 too, though barely - my family had both in the mid 90s. I'd be surprised if Quake is playable on a DX2.
It's quite transparently a trick to prolong engagement with the app, just as pretty much any internet product which aims to maximize the LTV extracted from the user base.
The tragedy in Gaza, the tragedy in Srebrenica, the tragedy in Rwanda? Genocide is the word.
This is a joke right?
Like the other commenter has said, the reason there are no such stories is that they would be hypocritical BS, and I'll add, designed to manufacture consent for unlawful military action against a sovereign nation.
The perennially genocidal occupying force controlling all aspects of Palestinian life including forcing them into a subsistence diet, "mowing the lawn" in Gaza every so often, shooting down peaceful unarmed protesters - some of them disabled - and all that before 7/Oct - has no right to complain about terrorism, for it's what it has inflicted on Palestinians for decades.
Fascinating, and what about the discarded hardware? Is it recyclable in any way?
