I wouldn’t say that’s controversial, but it’s really just a matter of choosing which platform you think will enshittify slowest.

I absolutely love that his name is the first thing anyone thinks about when someone so much as mentions a couch.

They would. Just not in the way they’d prefer.

Does it even matter if you wind up being a good person either way?

I don’t support this decision in any way, but I can at least think of some legitimate motivation for it (assuming the Synology branded ones aren’t marked up from the equivalent Seagate/Toshiba ones). I imagine Synology has to deal with a lot of service calls and returns for issues that are caused by shoddy drives (like those Seagate drives with the fudged lifespan numbers), not by anything that they can directly control.

In reality, the above was probably what sparked the idea, but I’m betting that they’re going to jack up the price of those drives just to squeeze out a little more profit for this quarter.

Alright, hear me out: we split up Alphabet. Ads and search can be one company, since those two are always going to be related, while Chrome, Android, and the hardware division become the other company. This should help reduce Google’s current incentive for privacy invasion.

I think it’s the lead they’re actually looking for. Aggressive and unintelligent people are more likely to vote for them be MAGA supporters (the voting part may already be a useless distinction).

Where are you referring to? In North America, much of the infrastructure wasn’t changed, it was created for the first time to accommodate cars.

So after reading the article, are you editorializing or did Wired change their title? No where does it mention the legality of selling the Sakura in North America. It only mentions that Nissan has not chosen to sell it outside of Japan.

Depends on what knowledge we are talking about. Personally, I’d be feeding it tons of manuals so that I could ask questions like “Which version of software x introduced feature y?” There’s no extra context I need, I just need a version number to give to a customer. And in my industry, that type of info just doesn’t show up on Google. So having an LLM that can answer the question in seconds saves me an hour of sifting through manuals.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. And this is actually the first time I’ve heard of some use of LLMs that I may actually be interested in.

I never understood this one. What kind of course would you be doing that required very expensive paid software, but you didn’t know ahead of time that said software was required. I think the imaginary OP is just an idiot.

Wow that link threw me for a second. I was trying to figure out what CSIS was doing with a .org website.

You forgot your /s. People seem to be thinking you are serious.

Our eggs Our cheap because most of the supply is domestic, and our domestic supply is stable. The Ukrainian supply is replacing the US supply that is no longer available, and is going to commercial buyers, not store shelves.

Canada doesn’t really have the same kind of massive factory farming practices that the US does, and the bird flu problem is already far more contained. I think this is mostly a show of support for Ukraine kind of thing.

I don’t think you’d ever have a peripheral power the tv. The use case I’m envisioning is power and data going to the panel via this single connector from a base box that handles AC conversion, as well as input (from Roku etc) and output (to soundbar etc.). Basically standardizing what some displays are already doing with proprietary connectors.

Headroom and safety factor. Current screens may draw 120w, but future screens may draw more, and it is much better to be drawing well under the max rated power.

I think it’s aimed at TVs in general, not computer monitors. Many people mount their TVs to the wall, and having a single cable to run hidden in the wall would be awesome.
