@fatsam what’s funny is the article makes a huge deal out of the difference between expected revenue and actual revenue of $20B. It completely glosses over the difference between revenue and expenses. OpenAI operates at a loss and also has liabilities on the order of $500B. The difference […]

Yeah. I get it. Cars connected to the internet (like kitchen appliances and TVs) seems like such a bad idea. The fact that it's only active when the car is in park makes it more palatable. But I'd rather have to install it manually if I wanted it.

It's like looking inside a Kaleidescope and saying "I saw towering spires more complex than any human design, this must be a new autonomous architecture" but it's just a chamber of mirrors and lenses around the material world it is reflecting distortedly.

Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

techdirt.comHey Platforms: Your Violent Content Policies Are About To Meet The Pentagon’s Firing SquadThere is plenty of coverage everywhere you look about how Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon have announced plans to livestream the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the Army officer who shot up Fort Hood, killing 13 people and wounding dozens more. There is plenty of debate about the moral atrocity that is a firing...

But either way, suddenly I was in a situation of # ls ls: command not found # rm big-tar-file.tar rm: command not found Booting to the recovery OS required downloading the ancient version of macOS off the Internet that would still run on this mac. And **that** version […]

Some skipped details. I had been using OpenCore to keep it running modern macOS long past Apple's official support death. The last patch I tried (Sonoma?) seems to have corrupted filevault. At first, it would boot, prompt me for the password, then die. (it just froze, never getting off the […]

Long tech story with a happy ending and a funny punchline. I'll relegate some details to the replies. I have an old (2015) MacBook. Something got corrupted. I can get to the drive in the recovery OS, but it won't boot. No problem. I was thinking of putting debian on it anyway. I figure I'll […]

I really need to learn to use bookmarks in my browsers. (I should also synchronise them across devices) There’s a blog I read not to long ago (maybe August, July?) about the gestalt created by using AI tools. And that’s what I remember. Not only did I have to look up the word gestalt, because I […]

i woke up this morning at 4:30am to use the bathroom and could not get back to sleep afterwards. As i lay in bed in the pre-dawn dark my mind went down strange pathways and i found myself having a revelation: there is an unmet need in the world for a program that can sort files - at the bit […]
