And I’ve always objected to that description.

Bringing an alien weapon of unknown capabilities on board and then test firing it right next to the ship’s main reactor is not even the most stupid thing the super smart experts of the Starfleet’s flagship did. It is a miracle the Enterprise hasn’t been blown to its constituent subatomic particles at least a few times.

Nobody said it has to be an animal. It could also be a plant. Or an upscaled model of a prokaryote.

Thank you for the wise words, you convinced me to ditch my free Linux installation in favor of a paid Windows license. Does anyone know a good paid alternative to the spyware VLC?

You should start working as an AI agent, you show promise.

That’s the reason I don’t bulk upload books to my Kindle. Because I know I’ll be spending way too much time thinking about what to read next. Instead I only acquire books when I’m done reading one or close to it. And I only get more than one when they’re in a series.

Wonder what the ld50 of bananas is.

It requires more space than a “native” installation, but that’s about it. Its impact on memory and CPU are very minimal, nowhere near VM levels because it’s not full-on virtualization. Docker containers share the host’s resources rather than creating virtual everything for themselves. Think multiple Linux environments sharing one kernel and drivers and libraries and whatnot. Except the runtime has strict control over which container can use what and how.

So Docker costs more in space. And space is cheap. It’s a price well worth the features it provides and enables (networking, orchestration, etc).

How hard it’ll be depends on the provider. My provider’s customer support explicitly told me that it is technically allowed but it is their policy to offer absolutely no help with that whatsoever for “liability reasons”, and I’d be on my own if I got my router stuck in a misconfigured bridge mode where I can’t access any settings anymore to fix things. They also told me to find my subscriber credentials on my own if I wanted to use a 3rd party modem.

They do need to look good on the Instagram reels that you make, where you publish every second of your utterly unremarkable infant’s life to random strangers on the internet in the hopes that your account grows large enough to make ad money.

The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It’s not your job to enforce traffic rules.

I didn’t believe opinions could be wrong until I saw this

Pro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.

These are the tampons they stick into female bulls.

Nvidia drivers at least do something that are fairly complex and heavy, and they’re necessary. Whereas this thing is just some comically overdeveloped and extremely annoying piece of bloatware from Logitech to remap a bunch of buttons.

In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.

German trains being on time is a myth.

Try beating the traffic now you fucking stupid bastard

They said average speed. Those max speeds are only reachable along certain parts of the track, sometimes straight up unachievable between some stops. Mostly they travel well below their max speeds. I would not be surprised if the average speed is not that far from 150 for most of the lines they service, though I don’t have any numbers on hand.

It is and it isn’t. Again, the whole thing is super vague. Machine vision or pattern seeking algorithms do not try to imitate any human behavior, but they fall under AI.

Let me put it this way: Things that try to imitate human behavior or intelligence are AI, but not all AI is about trying to imitate human behavior or intelligence.

LLMs are one of the approximately one metric crap ton of different technologies that fall under the rather broad umbrella of the field of study that is called AI. The definition for what is and isn’t AI can be pretty vague, but I would argue that LLMs are definitely AI because they exist with the express purpose of imitating human behavior.

I mean it makes a lot of sense. The distance on the map has a lot less relevance to my day to day life than how long it takes to travel it. That is true for any kind of transportation, so I don’t know what op means with that.

Eye contact is also common sense.That’s one good way of being sure the other person is aware of you and your vehicle.
