Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.

He has a good point. Specifying precisely what the program does is the actual difficult part and won’t be done properly by this current LLM system since it’s creating something new and requires actual thought and understanding.

Yep, I can’t speak on the decline of quality because it was a site that was early to dark pattern bullshit. It would show up prominently in Google search and then tease “you have to sign up to read the answers”. Uh, no. Reminds me of expert sexchange or whatever that site was that got smashed by stackoverflow for similar reasons.

Yandex has a large office in Amsterdam. Not sure where its all served from but they have offices in 12 countries.

I’m still confused about when there was ever a helicopter vs. just a rover

A terminal is a physical device like a VT100. When people refer to a terminal today it’s almost always a terminal emulator running on a TTY, ssh on a PTY, a login shell or a GUI program.

A sex party would be way better than a stupid “gender reveal”. That’s definitely one of the trends of the 2010s I can connect with the least.

Another classic kbin photo bomb. Is that Chris Christie?

Right… the technology conceivably has value as a way to digitally trade ownership and track authenticity. It just happens that it was used for a bunch of truly worthless algorithmically generated art that people got suckered into by hype.

Many agencies do that but it’s been established that the NSA simply takes data from companies of almost any size, domestic or foreign.

More like FBI or DEA. If the NSA wants it they just hack them.

People said the same thing recently when Tesla was required to do an OTA update in the US. The thing is that while they don’t have to physically work on each vehicle, it’s labeled a recall because it’s a regulatory action that compelled them to do it. Tesla didn’t decide to do these updates on their own - they were directed to do so by the government, first in the US and now in China.

I recall beehaw having some good communities when I was first on Lemmy this summer, but I haven’t seen much from there on Kbin or the lemmies I use - presumably because beehaw defederated for whatever reason. If you’re not going to be connected to the largest instances anyway, what’s the difference?

Sure, having a standalone forum is a legitimate thing to do, like it always has been since the start of the internet. Seems like it would be harder to grow the site without the network effect of the rest of Lemmy though.

No. They contain mercury and electronics and are typically not recyclable. They may be recyclable, but probably not curbside, and are typicfally considered hazardous waste. See https://www.epa.gov/mercury/recycling-and-disposal-cfls-and-other-bulbs-contain-mercury

There is no “ackshully” and he didn’t call anyone a liar. He just said a statement was incorrect.

Just another hated boss. Not too uncommon. I’m sure plenty of people who work for him don’t like him either. SpaceX does get plenty of positive recognition and feedback, too.

Right, I agree. The progressive side of the US is not fairly represented by Democrats nationally.

A lot of leftists (and I hardly ever saw it before coming on Lemmy) use ‘Liberal’ to mean Classic or Neo Liberal - basically a synonym of capitalist… That’s not at all what it means in American politics, where it means the opposite of Conservative. If we used that definition, Conservatives would be called Liberals as well as Liberals being Liberals, which obviously makes no sense for US lingo. However, they both are Liberals in the neo/classic sense as most US Liberals aren’t calling for communism.

You know what the word ‘mostly’ means, right?

I don’t really feel the need to use them to express myself. I try to use words instead :-)
