This day, day 999 of the war, Ukraine certainly hasn't lost. Enabling strikes to cripple Russia's war machine will certainly make sure Russia doesn't win for the next many days too.

In this war of attrition, all one has to do is not lose.

You would rather power it with natural gas? Because that is what would largely power it otherwise. The datacenter does not turn off at night.

Trees are carbon neutral. They pull the carbon out and sequester it in themselves. When they rot or burn, the carbon is returned.

It’s Not Hard For A Billion-Dollar Company To Credit An Artist From Time To Time

The companies who own these games never bother to credit the artist

I guess I'm a bit confused here. Every film I have seen in my entire life credits the artists, and many games do as well.

Please don't. Just keep providing security updates for an extended time and don't make Win 10 worse with these 'features' that are keeping people away from Win 11.

Replacing physical controls with touch buttons continues to be an incredibly dumb idea. Luckily several other manufactures who hopped on the trend are realizing it was a bad choice.

The Microsoft devs have time to do shit like this, but haven't yet gotten the Settings screen as functional as Control Panel was two decades ago...

It certainly doesn't help Intel has been intentionally selling defective product in the 13th and 14th gen lines. People are quite reasonably going to AMD more and more.

Jesus fuck Linus. Half the reason you are popular is because people trust your statements; and you are just flushing that away.

Really happy to see replaceable batteries! It's a wear item and guaranteed to brick your device after a number of years if they aren't replaceable.

Selling shovels during a gold rush is the best way to get rich. :)

Human summarization of the above story:

LLMs do not understand the text, so they cannot pick out the important sentences. Because of this, they are unable to summarize the text; instead they shorten the text. Unless the text is very rambly, important meaning will be lost when shortening.

Also the LLMs lie.

The difficult part of software development has always been the continuing support. Did the chatbot setup a versioning system, a build system, a backup system, a ticketing system, unit tests, and help docs for users. Did it get a conflicting request from two different customers and intelligently resolve them? Was it given a vague problem description that it then had to get on a call with the customer to figure out and hunt down what the customer actually wanted before devising/implementing a solution?

This is the expensive part of software development. Hiring an outsourced, low-tier programmer for almost nothing has always been possible, the low-tier programmer being slightly cheaper doesn't change the game in any meaningful way.

Even when they use industry-standard terms, like Mbps, they don't even advertise their upload speed (because it is piss-poor).

Currently without issue using Firefox and uBlock Origin. No complaints from YouTube nor ads.

'It's against our terms to show our model doesn't work correctly and reveals sensitive information when prompted'

It disturbs me that people would consider TikTok an accurate source of....anything.

I own some metal straws, they are pretty great to use. The main issue is cleaning them. You cannot just throw them in a dishwasher, you have to use a pipe cleaner. That's a level of manual effort that restaurants probably don't want to take on.

I'm amused by the implication that Russians and Ukrainians have a strong, brotherly bond; but that Russians are perfectly fine with shooting their brothers, taking their brother's land. Even the cheery Russian propaganda paints Russians as monsters.

Ukraine needs all the air defense they can get. Russia has been signaling they will try again to freeze the civilian population this winter.

I enjoy how Amazon talks a big game about how great they are for the environment and their pledge to stop climate change, then they force workers to commute to the office who have been happily doing their jobs over the internet.

data from Edmunds says a record 17.5% of borrowers have payments of $1,000 or more

That is a crazy high number. You are approaching mortgage territory there (yes, mortgages can be that price outside of cities). People need to stop spending so much on cars. They do not retain value.

I have routinely been impressed with AMD integrated graphics. My last laptop I specifically went for one as it meant I didn't need a dedicated gpu for it which adds significant weight, cost, and power draw.

It isn't my main gaming rig of course; I have had no complaints.

The 'gotacha' up-charge 70% of the way through your taxes where you can't use the form you legally need to fill out unless you give them $40 did extract money from me. Got tired of that shit and went to Free Tax USA.

Good. The time to stop is when Russia leaves Ukraine.

Just go back to uBlock Origin. No reason to give Google more money, they don't respect their customers.

The title seems to be poking at fans, but the repeated name was always bound to lead to confusion. Activision is out of ideas.

Alternative: Submit resumes directly to companies you are interested in and/or use a recruiter. The latter is surprisingly nice. Last time I used one I got lined up for phone interviews with little effort and the recruiter pushed the company forward during the hiring pipeline when the company was being wishy-washy.

The recruiter only gets full payment if you get hired and stay at your job for a full year. (And this payment does not come from you!)

Two things that come to mind:

• Lemmy's protocol is open, so anybody can make 3rd party apps to work with it. Third party Reddit apps used to be popular when Reddit had an open API, but Reddit destroyed that on purpose.

• Because Lemmy isn't run by a singular company, you don't get the same restrictions. Reddit admins had a whole host of rules on what a sub could or could not contain. Many of which were heavy focused on making Reddit more advertiser friendly.

A video game developer is so fucking far from this situation it is laughable; these suits are destined to fail. It's sad the lawyers are sucking money from the victims' families.

This is a product you pay for and it doesn't respect your choices....

Yep. It leads to a positive feedback loop. They just continue to self-reinforce whatever came out before.

And with increasing amounts of the internet being polluted with AI text output....

How dare Gamer's Nexus....point out lies and widespread problems at LTT with Nexus backing every claim with evidence. The real issue is reporting on the issues!

Rossmann did a review a few months ago of electrical fuses on Amazon. Very few of these electrical safety devices worked as advertised.

unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups

Going to have to plug GOG here as these are both things they offer. I try to buy games there instead of Steam, purely for this reason.

Russia's recent push has been a complete disaster for Russia. The scale of the devastation makes even Russia's Vulehadar losses look tame.

Here are geolocated, visually confirmed Russian losses from a few days ago, on just the northern flank of Avdiivka. Meanwhile, Russian controlled airfields are burning due to the US recently sending aid in the form of ATACMS missiles.

Windows has so much garbage overhead via telemetry, etc. Glad to see someone quantifying how detrimental it is.

It's for including it in Unity games as a component.

Lol, the US told you about this two weeks ago and you let it happen anyway. Fuck off.

Drawn art depicting minors in sexual situations has been deemed protected as free speech in the US. It's why, at least in the US, you don't have to worry about the anime girl that's 17 landing you in prison on child porn charges. The reasoning: there is no victim, the anime girl is not sentient, therefore the creation of that art is protected as free speech.

I suspect a similar thing will happen with this. As long as it is not depicting a real person, the completely invented person is not sentient, there is no victim, this will fall under free speech. At least in the US.

However, it is likely a very, very bad idea to have any photo-realistic art of this manner, as it may not be clear to authorities if it is from AI or if there is in fact a person you are victimizing. Doubly so if you download this from someone else, as you don't know if that is a real person either.
