That dude’s not even looking at the computer screen. I give even odds that what he’s looking at on his phone is boobs.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

“It works. What more do you want?”

Hypothermia can be a problem in temperatures as high as 50F. 0F is a meaningless number, outside of purely subjective “it’s cold” uses.

That’s as hot as a person can really tolerate.

There’s large chunks of the world proving that false every day. For the geographically impared, the simple fact that Phoenix has existed for longer than air conditioning, proves that statement false.

And 0F as the low point is equally as useless.

For day to day use, it’s just a single number, no one is doing any conversions, etc, with the number. That was my point. There’s nothing to remember. Do you forget what 72F feels like? Do you have to scale it in your head?

When it comes to a single number on a scale, whatever you grew up with will be more “obvious”. 100F doesn’t give me any more information than 38C does. The whole “base 10” thing only matters if you are actually doing some math to that number.

“Intuitive” is a meaningless metric for a single scaled number. Whichever system you are used to will be the more “intuitive”.

Also, climate can play into which system feels more useful. Where I live, 100F occurs only rarely (and since air conditioning is almost ubiquitous, not something I’d bother looking out for), while 0C is an outdoor temperature that I do need to be aware of for half the year.

No one will punish you for not returning the cart

My opinion on this is reason number 8735 why I will never, and should never, be in charge of a country.

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?

Huh. Maybe if there weren’t profit sucking leeches built into the entire healthcare system, prices wouldn’t be so high and Medicare wouldn’t be at risk of becoming insolvent.

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

The math for those large cooperations is a bit more complex than that. CEO compensation is often mostly stock options, which has a value for tax purposes, but is not a value that can be easily reinvested into the company. The actual cash salary portion of the compensation package is usually peanuts compared to company revenue.

They’re basically trading the CEO partial ownership of the company in exchange for running it, and I’m not sure how you would go about forcing any kind of change on that, without unintentionally breaking things for smaller companies and startups.

That may work for long established companies that want to just maintain their status quo, but that wouldn’t work at all for startups or companies looking to grow (real growth, not just profit growth). AI is terrible at the kind of abstract and strategic thinking required at the top level when companies are in that phase.

Yeah, I’d love to, but first we have to tell that to Rockwell, Siemens, Bosch, ABB, etc, etc. All the proprietary software runs on Windows. Not to mention getting my company on board when we’re already heavily into the Microsoft ecosystem at the corporate level.

I think that every operating system needs to a have a “do what the fuck I told you to” mode, especially as it comes to networking. I’ve come close to going full luddite just trying to get smart home devices to connect to a non-internet connected network, (which of course you can only do through a dogshit app) and having my phone constantly try to drop that network since it has no Internet.

I get the desire to have everything be as hand-holdy as possible, but it’s really frustrating when the hand holding way doesn’t work and there is absolutely zero recourse, and even less ability to tell what went wrong.

Then there’s my day job, where I get do deal with crappy industrial software, flakey Internet connections and really annoying things like hyper-v occupying network ports when it’s not even open.

What’s the pay at those regional schools and community colleges? Is it enough to cover massive student debt?

What research opportunities are there at those colleges? Could it be that teaching was just a necessary evil required for the job they actually want to do?

I don’t see anywhere that specified you wanted English names.

They didn’t stand down because Russian troops on “vacation” kept getting lost. It was an invasion from the very start.

One of the problems is that yellow there isn’t a single guy. There’s a sunset that is actually just blue guy with a different name for sky-daddy.

The Israeli government is doing what Hamas wants the power to do. I wish fundamentalists of all types would just fuck off.
