Now I want a cool, refreshing Coca-cola. This post was the real ad all along.

I need this crossover.

The company I work for builds a product that uses AI extensively. The product would not be possible without AI, like the one main thing the product does is only possible because of AI. That said, AI use for coding is quite limited. We talk about it, some people do develop with AI, but there is no push for it. I feel like building a product on it has made developers acutely aware of just how flakey and unreliable AI is.

Justice is a luxury the poor can’t afford because the rich pay to evade.

You could probably install a handler for the event that’s triggered when the power button is pressed. Most OSes do that and pop up a graceful shutdown options window. Most hardware will have a hard shutdown option when you hold the power button for a few seconds. You would probably have to overwrite the BIOS or something at that level to prevent that way out.

They’re not even really covering their asses. They don’t make an OS, they make a small but important art of many distros. They’re providing a clean, standardized way for Linux distros from RedHat to Ageless to comply with the law if they choose to. Some distros will comply with the law to the letter, others will not comply out of spite. At least the ones that comply will do it in a standard way.

Yup. Putin couldn’t have planned it better himself.

Unless… no, it couldn’t be… but that would mean… oh shit.

On of the questions I ask when interviewing for a company is what kind of IT platform they work with. Windows is a big red flag.

The legeslation has been in place for years, but we held off because we didn’t want to be out of sync with Washington, Oregon, and California.

Recent actions from the U.S. have shifted how B.C. approaches decisions that merit alignment, including on time zones.

Thanks Trump :D

This is hilarious. I work on translation software and know exactly what’s wrong. They’ve selected a spanish voice, but not translated the content to spanish. I was playing around with these settings in our software and produced exactly this result.

They’ll be in real trouble when they get fined into oblivion. I bet they’re looking a thousands of dollars here!

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I’m in a slightly different demographic, but am still really interested in the steam machine. I’d be happy building my own gaming rig, but:

1. Pricing out all that stuff, ordering it, building it is a lot of work, I’d want to see some benefit for that work,
2. After pricing it all out, maybe I look at a steam machine and decide it’s a better deal.

Realistically, steam machines, consoles, and custom gaming rigs are all approximately the same hardware and the same market. If the price of the steam machine is going up, so is its competition.

And came back to four slashed tires, right?

They’re in the American embassy and consulates.

From the article:

“These skilled and highly trained special agents focus on a wide variety of serious crimes, like drug trafficking, child exploitation, weapons smuggling, human smuggling, financial fraud, and more.”

TLDR: They’re not armed and can’t arrest people.

In my opinion, it was all entirely reasonable when the US administration was an ally and a civilised democracy. It might be something we should re-evaluate for current circumstances.

Why not both?

Other side from port.

It looks like Bing is just a part of the answer: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

My understanding is that they outsource the search part to bing’s search back-end. Saying DDG is just Bing is like saying two butchers are the same because they get their meat from the same supplier.

I can get behind that sentiment.
