Not silly, that’s a common cleaning technique from janitor/cleaning staff i was told a while back. Use a little bit of what causes the stain/gunk and it helps break down the bonds by binding with the already-solidified object and trying to mix with it, weakening/changing the concentration of the ‘stuck’ substance

Start a thread for that instead of commenting on one specifically for America

Fuck Ivan Moody, i loved motograter’s sound but the five finger death punch turn and then subsequent military fallatiating killed him for me

Adding all the points together feels useless as a metric. But 2.6 per individual doesn’t sound as drastic as I was expecting leaded gas to impact. Still bad, just not what I’d call a huge impact.

Yeah, because we were stupid back then lol. I still have some people swear to me that using a mouse is a crutch, but those are getting fewer and farther between

I disagree, GUI’s are more visually appealing and allow for faster intake of the most important information (according to the designer) information. If it was all plain text I think the internet would be a terribly boring place to crawl through.

No but hopefully this wrong will make others think twice about being shitty leeches

Only Denuvo has reported that it’s better for sales, the rest of us don’t have data on that and I’m not trusting the wolf with Hen House design

Firm agree

New Outlook exists

Customer: “I hate change, can’t you just put it back to how it was”

No, I can’t. You can use Classic Outlook, but that won’t have the features you want, and it’s going out the door so you have to change. No, I can’t program the Ribbon to look like it used to, that’s just what Billy Microsoft decided.

No, and I do not agree with the above poster, but we’re aided in that most of our forms are in both English and Spanish, the two most common native tongues of people who live here.

I just started diving into the space from a localized point yesterday. And I can say that there are definitely problems with garbage spewing, but some of these models are getting really really good at really specific things.

A biomedical model I saw seemed lauded for it’s consistency in pulling relevant data from medical notes for the sake of patient care instructions, important risk factors, fall risk level etc.

So although I agree they’re still giving well phrased garbage for big general cases (and GPT4 seems to be much more ‘savvy’), the specific use cases are getting much better and I’m stoked to see how that continues.

Nah chief, it’s pretty groundbreaking. I mean we don’t know how to specifically target existing connections to strengthen the sheathe between existing brain cells, but connecting two brain cells at all, manually, is such a feat

I mean, it is annoying. But it’s security. Don’t want people having access to your device, remove all possibility someone CAN.

But it is annoying, we shouldn’t HAVE to do this. Privacy should be baked right into our daily lives and not clawed out with tired hands every chance we get.

Can you detail for me how voting No Confidence (which would be a write in, at least for presidential elections) works in the US? Additionally, how does this vote impact decisions any way more or less than voting for any candidate?

For some, but it’s just that it’s diminishing returns as you go up. 60 going to 120 is about as visually distinct as going 120 to 240, and then 240 to 480.

I have had a 120hz, 144hz, and 165hz monitors in my house, and although the 120-144 jump was pretty much undetectable to me, thr 120-160 was smoother but not like when I first moved to 120.

I’m colorblind though, so color accuracy doesn’t always do much for me until my wife points out people’s skin looking weird if I’ve switched to a color palette that’s easier to track for me.

The Bronte sisters would be my Kardashian’s, oh my God

I think by “Streisand effect, Engage” he is saying that the world has now engaged in the Streisand effect, not that he himself is activating the entirety of the internet and media to start pushing the idea.

I would say that not putting a perfectly fine microwave into the garbage and spending the time needed to clean the microwave and it’s removable components would be a better solution.

Sure, they’re ‘cheap’ depending on who you are and what you buy, but they’re surely not ‘cheap’ as to be entirely disposable and they’re not exactly safe for landfills.
