The introduction also reminds me of some other modern hyped technology...

Great share, thanks!

edit: Oof, the subprime mortgage emergency stop analogy too, to a T

At least we have an easy tag to spot bad journalism

Didn't know spelling and grammar checks had needs

Is it trying to speedrun turning into a crab by skipping wayy too many steps?

Nonsense has been a staple of the internet since forever

It doesn't matter who's to blame. The question is where is your nation going, and what are you going to do about it? Are you going to let all the terrible things happen because "it's the other guys' fault"?

I live in a place where many shops are closed on Sundays and have reduced hours on Saturdays. The place where I was born is everything open all the time. It's a cultural thing, also very dependent on how consumerist the country is

Fuck Sam Altman

Hahah negentropy goes brrrr

Outside of hospitality? Is it that bad in the service industries too?

Of all LLMs you could've used, why grok?

Fair, good point :)

This doesn't really have anything to do with critical thinking, it's just that our brains work on estimations and approximations, although experience can balance it out.

Try this: draw a martini glass (inverted cone), and draw a line where you think it would be half full.

It will be wrong. Numberphile - Cones are messed up (YT)

That dev definitely doesn't seem like the best human around, but this is all around terrible to me. Calling the project "dehumanizing" and "vile" because of this is ridiculous. Are people really willing to have their browsing tracked and sold rather than using a browser that has an assumed gender in the documentation? Not saying that they shouldn't use gender neutral language, but as the original issue said, it's a minor nitpick, let's be honest. It's also something that's representative of one dev as a person, not of the project as a browser. Additionally, it could be something as simple as the dev coming from a gendered language, where the word "user" itself is masculine, and doesn't see it the same way as English speakers asking for neutral language.

Only if you are an AI with no critical thought, or are a professional contrarian

UTC but 12 hour time? That doesn't make any sense

Note that for HDDs, it doesn't matter if they're powered or not. The platter is not "energized" or refreshed during operation like an SSD is. Your best bet is to have some kind of parity to identify and repair those bad bits.

Sorry dude, but bit rot is a very real thing on HDDs. They're magnetic media, which degrades over time. If you leave a disk cold for 2-5 years, there's a very good chance you'll get some bad sectors. SSDs aren't immune from bit rot, but that's not through quantum tunneling - not any more than your CPU is affected by it at least.

I think these were final, retail versions that were being prepared for physical distribution ahead of release

And a retrograde moon!
