If its just a money printer then you are basically just a federal reserve/ central bank. I would make myself rich and then buy up a bunch of property to convert into coops and a bunch of wild land to turn to reserves, also some big donations to hospitals. Anything more and I wouldn't trust my ability to predict the economic effects.
expecting every citizen to be immune to psychological trickery from a nation spending tens of billions to research and test ways to trick them is unrealistic and unreasonable.
Trying to scrub all properganda from our lives is also impossible. Better to get a balanced media diet from a variety of sources.
My switch 1 is gathering dust, mostly because of the awful controllers. Looks like they made the controllers bigger, and the magnetic slide looks much better than the switch1. I hope they significantly reduced the stick drift problem. I hope they allow 3rd party controllers to turn on the device.
skin cancer diagnoses with llms has a high success rate with a low cost. This is something that was starting to exist with older ai models, but llms do improve the success rate. source
VLC recently unveiled a new feature of using ai to generate subtitles, i haven't used it but if it delivers then it's pretty nice
for code generation, I agree it's more harmful than useful for generating full programs or functions, but i find it quite useful as a predictive text generator, it saves a few keystrokes. Not a game changer but nice. It's also pretty useful at generating test data so long as it's hard to create but easy (for a human) to validate.
The average person doesn't own a computer anymore, but I think steam users are pretty representative of people who want to use the OS that markets itself as "The next generation of Linux gaming"
It's only a fallacy when there is not evidence given that each step leads to the next.
A slippery slope argument is perfectly valid when evidence is provided.The fallacy is in the implicit and unexamined assumption that a must lead to b.
E.g
Taking heroin once is obviously a slippery slope to becoming a heroin addict because taking it once causes you to crave taking it again.
Where are you getting that number? There are many different types of supercapacitors, which vary in lifespan quite a bit, the conditions (mostly voltage and temp) also have a big impact. The article doesn't specify the type of cap used.
For instance this paper tests a supercapacitor rated for 2.7V at 2.5 and 3v. At 2.5v the cap is estimated to have a lifespan of 100yrs, with 3v scenario it's 10.
Keyboards don't get very hot, and the voltage draw is very predictable so I don't think designing a long lasting capacitor for this usecase is particularly tricky.
I would be worried about the lifespan of the solar panel, but at least it's still usable without that.
Yeah I understand why in this specific case, the obvious corruption. But the framework of laws allowed this abuse, and I want to know why this is even possible, why is unconditional discharge a sentence that is allowed to be handed out, because to me, I can't see a not corrupt way it could be applied, and it doesn't seem like a new thing, just a rare thing.
I find it way too frustrating to clean the strainer out, I personally just buy unbleached paper tea bags (i am 100% sure they don't have plastic) and put my loose leaf into that.
Teabags in prepacked tea annoying the crap out of me, why can't they be paper it is literally just as good.
I buy my tea loose and then spoon it into unbleached paper tea bags. I find this a good compromise between prepacked tea bags and use a reusable steeper (which i hate cleaning out and rarely remember to do so.
For a while, while I was on reddit I had a new account send me "my home address" every couple weeks, I think it was the same person using multiple accounts. They always got the address wildly wrong though. Which is weird because it would have been very easy to figure out what city I'm from at least.
I think the only thing that will really push adoption is if more systems ship with Linux preinstalled and those laptops are advertised primarily with linux. People aren't going to go buy a usb drive, figure out how to download an image and how to download and install a flasher and how to use that flashing tool, not when google and apple actively hamstring computer literacy in schools. They probably won't even click the "budget penguin thing" unless they already know what it is and have been sold the story of linux on that specific laptop.
In a video someone discussed the average us household income. Someone commented that that number was actually inflated and it would be better to use median. I found the article the OP was referencing and pointed out that it was in fact the median and pointed out a median is a type of average. They argued for far far too long that average exclusively refers to mean, that median "isn't even an expected value" and that they were right and I was wrong because they are an engineer who works with this all day long. I ended up getting ganged up by several different accounts, I eventually screenshotted the Wikipedia page for average and got them to all delete their posts.
