I've been job hunting for 3 months. Hardly any recruiters are reaching out, and my applications go nowhere. A recruiter from xAI reached out the other day, and I couldn't bring myself to even apply. I told them I wasn't interested without specifying why, but it's Elon.

Do you have a replacement in mind already?

I worked at Amazon for 8 years. That's not how it works.

But the technology does actually work.

You don't come up with an idea, announce it to the world, and then start figuring out how to implement it.

That's not true at all. I personally know a person who worked on that technology.

Human beings got involved only when necessary. Do you really think Amazon wants to pay humans to be cashiers?

Perceiving it as a color seems more practical though. It's not like we look at "red" and think "ah yes, a single wavelength of light"

Your definition of color is based only on human perception? Is purple a color for a mantis shrimp?

Edit: I guess not in a pure sense because it's still two wavelengths of light. Perhaps a mantis shrimp can detect a totally different wavelength and sees it as "purple" or something.

Now I'm thinking about how we don't know how other humans interpret colors. Like what I see as red, you may see as blue. Ugh.

I admire your patience. :-D

Compelling argument.

You've made a compelling case against yourself.

Who?

What if it's just the white stripes (not the band)? Do white cows have the same number of flies? What if you paint them with black stripes?

Maybe those are answered in the article, but I'll never read it.

Polaris is 45-67 million years old.

The oldest total-group chondrichthyans, known as acanthodians or "spiny sharks", appeared during the Early Silurian, around 439 million years ago.

It's not even close.

Yeah, better save battery at the time it's most likely to be charged/charging. :-/

Maybe I’m being overly paranoid (this is Lemmy, after all), but doesn’t this seem like a step toward something troubling?

1. Almost all of our devices are designed to use WiFi. Just try finding a laptop with an ethernet port, or a phone or tablet with wired connectivity. You can get adapters, sure, but they’re not standard anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if game consoles eventually drop wired options altogether, or charge extra for them—like Sony does with the PS5 disc drive.
2. ISPs have a track record of trying to control our internet experience—remember the fight over net neutrality? They’re always looking for ways to monetize data and restrict what we can access online.
3. With long-range WiFi on the horizon, ISPs might find it cheaper to install one powerful broadcast device per neighborhood, similar to how 5G towers are deployed.
4. And when that happens, it’s not that features like fiber to the home or port forwarding are gone, but they could be locked behind an extra fee. Want direct access to your own network settings? That might come at a premium. Even access to certain websites could become conditional on paying more, or worse, dictated by someone else’s agenda.

Just attempting to format those in a more readable way.

I was interested until I hit this sentence:

I use PHP as my language of choice in a day-to-day basis, and this is no exception.

I doubt they're doing this and only this.

Yikes, all these browser-based puns are a bit much for this little internet explorer. I'm out.

Why stop there?
