It’s from people ditching home PCs for phones and tablets. That’s it. End of story. There are no significant numbers of people switching to Linux. They simply with to no PC.
10-15 years ago I could have made an OK living fixing home computers. That time is long past.
“And we don’t hand out disciplinaries for honest mistakes. We hand them out for shifting blame and shirking responsibility.”
^ My CEO two jobs back. That was the company culture from the top down, amazing to see in action.
New to El Reg? I suspect quite a bit of their humour will get past you.
Send 'em here to Florida. We’ve about killed ours off.
Good enough! You only need to discharge any static your currently (heh) carrying. Unless you’re rolling around on the carpet in an arid room, you’ll be fine.
When you shock yourself on a doorknob, notice how you don’t get shocked again?
The numbers are for failures in the next two years. Plenty of projects will coast that long on investment dollars.
Investors are well aware this is a bubble. But they can’t risk losing the bet when the stakes are the next Google, or even the next internet.
And no matter what, AI is here to stay and someone is coming out on top.
Well it was men’s mental health month. Funny how I just found that out today. But please, let’s talk about women’s mental health issues.
Had to think on it! Yeah, I do gasp, but only when surprised and only a quick intake, pretty quiet.
Consider Nixon resigning over Watergate, which would be small beans today.
This is a web-based clone and it’s all I use for photo editing.
The physical world is too fast, relies on the speed of human brains calculating a million variables instantly, not mere pattern matching. See how hard it is to teach a robot to catch a ball. You have to input all the physics where a human doesn’t even consciously think on the problem.
We humans are best-in-class at pattern matching, but we often get it wrong and AI amplifies those mistakes.
AI can be great at certain tasks, but we have to be cognizant of how that works.
The cop was joking. Also, Ivan was 21-years ago, things were a little different in America. I was there.
Nah. Fox News is (usually) more subtle than that. They simply stop talking about fails. And that’s all it takes. Just stop talking about the fail and talk about something else. Why bother lying when you can STFU and get the same or better results?
All true, but my point was that he’s hardly been isolated in North Korea. He knows there’s an outside world, and to your point, knows how rich it can be.
My relevant experience is in the last 10-years, unless I go further back, and then the experience is irrelevant due to age.
I’m not certain what he knows or does not know. In any case, his message to MAGA is clear, Canada will pay, and they’ll believe it.
Nope, the signals will attenuate into noise pretty quickly. LOL, unless they’re using a quasar to communicate.
I feel like people usually miss this bit: Electromagnetic signals, light, etc., decrease by the inverse square law. Here’s a pic that illustrates better than I can write it out. Double the distance from the source, signal drops to 1/4 strength, move out the same distance again, all ya got is 1/9 strength. tldr: The signal strength drops fast.
After a very short distance, cosmically speaking, the signal becomes indistinguishable from universal background radiation and no magic science fiction can filter out a clean copy.
As a teen I beat my fear of girls but realizing they’re pretty much just like guys. Instead of treating them like untouchable angels, I started talking to them just like I would a guy friend. Well, mostly, not so crudely. OTOH, one major thing that made me realize they’re the same is overhearing, or being included, in female groups and finding out they talk nasty as fuck!
And guess what? Women respond to that. And the prettier they are, the response is even better! They’re so used to guys kissing their ass, trying to impress, etc., that a guy talking to them like a normal human being is refreshing.
And if you see that girl again, wave her down and say, “I’m sorry, I’m really shy and hope I didn’t hurt your feelings.”
These sorts of stories always make me wonder how much of our health is due to the fact that most simply don’t work their ass off anymore. Read a great article in a 90’s magazine where they proposed naming a new disease caused by sitting on our asses all the time. Fuck me. Most Westerners are fat, most can’t move much and 30-somethings are bitching about back and knee pain. I’m 54, have emphysema, and my wife and small children can’t physically keep up with me. They’re fit to stroke out after walking a single mile.
The idea was that the human body evolved to work, and work fucking hard and long. Working my ass off at Lowe’s solved 3 health issues for me. Caused 1 in my hands, but how much of that was due to working in an office for 20+ years?
Another book I read 30+ years ago was about our diet. They were clearly stumping for a vegan diet, vegetarian at worst. The upshot was that so many of Western health issues were caused by over-eating animal products. In one story, and African king came down with appendicitis and his people were scared shitless, because the disease was unknown in thier grain-staple culture. One thing that stuck with me was how Vietnamese cadavers showed far less plaque buildup in their arteries vs. American cadavers. (Same age, 19, Vietnam era data.)
Anyway, working hard and mostly eating plants can’t really hurt, can it?
