Ok but maybe was there a map to a treasure printed on the back of the hard drive?

Starting and ending every prompt and response with Sir probably doesn’t help.

Also, kicking down the door leaves evidence and usually require some sort of justification or approval. If they have a key to a backdoor, they don’t have to tell anyone they were inside, or ask for permission to use it.

That was fast.

My kids get their assignments, turn them in, and receive their grades on four different apps, plus there’s a version for the parents.

Where? Fuck you, that’s where. You want your kid to be on time for their activities? Surrender all privacy, because what are you going to do? Keep your kid out of sports and clubs?

Seems to have worked then.

On the contrary, I’d say it’s a smashing success. First, the author was deeply engaged with Facebook to write the article. Second, everyone who saw this article and discussed the findings was engaged with Facebook even if they didn’t have the app open. You and I are engaged with Facebook right now. And third, many many more people logged into their Facebook to test the findings either out of curiosity, to disprove the theory, or because they are horny goblins thirsting for smut.

The Facebook feed is an advanced algorithm that knows a shit ton about what to feed you to keep you engaged. It’s not just the cookies from sites you visit. They track what thumbnails get you to stop scrolling. They track the way a human eye moves and how far your thumb glides across the screen.

Point is, if it’s all scantily clad thirst traps, thats what gets your attention. If you see one, and you stop to take a screenshot for an article you’re writing about how it’s all thirst traps, then every third item will be another thirst trap.

Facebook doesn’t care if you want to see that content. Their goal is to keep your eyes on Facebook. If it makes you mad enough to comment, that’s engagement.

I didn’t read the whole article, so maybe the author addresses this, but what you see on Facebook is a funhouse reflection of your own interests.

It would be less expensive to simply trust everyone. Administering a numbering system and trying to prevent fraud costs more than the actual fraud it prevents, and does nothing to prevent the larger frauds.

It’s like having a chain on the pen at the bank, with a security guard watching the chain, and three managers making aure the secuirty guard is watching the chain all day, but the cash drawers are open and the three managers simply help themselves to as much cash as they like.

There are lots of reasons not to use ChatGPT (or any AI) but it’s silly to think the consumer subscribers cancelling their subscriptions will make a dent. The real money is in the enterprise contracts. They only have a paywall to set limits on the overhead.

Combat always ages poorly, because anything happening in real time requires muscle memory. As developers develop new combat mechanisms, it is constantly getting incrementally better. It’s like trying to compare a modern performance car to a Model T, or an '89 honda accord. The 65 Shelby Cobra doesn’t have bluetooth or antilock brakes or passenger airbags, but there are many enthusiastic fans of the car today. The modern Shelby Mustang is essentially a remake with modern tech trying to capture the spirit of the original.

That’s what we want. We want Morrowind, but better. The classic is still the classic, so we don’t need that again. Modders can reskin the game with better graphics.

Right? Like, figure out how to sort and fold laundry.

I have a big head, so every pair of headphones I’ve used will eventually break there. At least these can be repaired.

My condolences, that’s a bummer.

Looks neat. I’m a comic book fan, so I’ll probably pick it up eventually, if it ever goes on sale. Or not, if it sucks.

I remember the migration bullshit and the Bedrock/Java Wars.

I mean, I bought it in beta and have bought it since several times over.

Damn, I remember when consoles got less expensive over time, and when free speech was a thing.

Senior devs love vibe coding because they have the knowledge and skills to recognize and fix errors. They hate it because it makes morons think they don’t need the knowledge and skills to recognize and fix errors.
