Hundreds and hundreds. Stop drop and roll

1 billion? Are they hoping for the boomers to drive this home? Good luck Roblox

Facebook still has that but they obscured it in favor of their dumb algorithm whipping up totally random things and ads.

To get to it click the 3 lines or ‘more’, then find ‘feeds’ and select that, then choose groups or friends or whatnot, and it’ll show you those posts sorted by most recent. No way to make this default.

But the algorithm is so dumb because it takes into account how long you pause on a post and seems to weigh that higher than other things - for example if you see an ad you hate, for like a slot machine game app, and you click ‘see less ads like this’, the amount of time you spend clicking through menu options while on that ad will make the algorithm give you more ads tangentially related to slot machine apps, despite you basically saying “I hate these kind of ads”. Really dumb algorithm. Even reporting some fly-by-night obvious scam ad impersonating a brand will lead you to see only those type of scam ads. Really really dumb.

Even you pausing over the post you did in order to take a screenshot, that’ll make you see more of those types of things

In a situation like this I just cap all the wires. Some say the exposed ground is okay, but it’s even more okay if it’s capped. If the hot wires are capped, no need for ground, so ground gets capped, that type of deal

No, anything Google shows you is kosher and totally symbiotic. A website being shown on Google is at the site owner’s discretion - if they allow search engines to crawl they get the benefit of exposure, and the search engine gets the benefit of having relevant hits and ad revenue and all that. Most sites want click-throughs so it’s usually in their best interest to let search engines list their sites.

Google isn’t exploiting anyone, kinda the opposite, since site owners don’t pay for any ads or exposure (but that exposure has so much value that they’ll pay for SEO). Site owners can decline and Google abides

No, the issue is that anything AI creates is by definition derivative. Google doesn’t whip up generative content, it points you to content.

OpenAI is claiming that they can’t do shit without scraping copyrighted works and we all know that’s a load of BS because we’re adrift in a sea of royalty-free text

The Nvidia 7800GT Dual is an oddball card from that era. Nvidia made a dual chip card back in 2004-2005 and they deemed it so power hungry that it had supplementary power routed to the rear, and an external power supply brick was packaged alongside it. It was a monster of a card, measuring nearly 10 inches long, and could make a 350W PSU beg for mercy. How the times have changed

As a federal employee I’m really not understanding how assaulting a federal employee under any circumstance could ever be construed as ‘law and order’. This guy is like a 7 year old pretending to be a mafia thug

They basically made a synopsis of this article like the vultures they are. RIP journalism. Anywho this is worth a read but doesn’t expound much on the ‘why’, aside from him explaining that the core of a good game is the general congruency between the events in the story and the world in which the story occurs

If you’re HFT/scalping you’ll almost always be trading DMA in which case you’ll almost always have per-share commission, usually less than .005

It adds liquidity and that does more good than bad for everyone, whether you’re a retail investor looking to enter or exit a position without facing a hefty ‘tax’ from a wide bid-ask spread, or you’re managing an ETF and need to dump 300k shares of something while rebalancing.

Without HFT a lot of tickers would look like options and futures contracts - no volume, wide spreads, and rife with abuse from people walking orders up and down

I don’t work in tech but I’d spend my own dime in a heartbeat on my own hardware and possibly even software if I spent any amount of time doing anything not strictly related to the work I’m performing for the employer. Kinda like how a mechanic is nothing without tools and most maintain their set. I’d want no ambiguity - I was using my stuff to do my stuff and employer has absolutely no say in how I utilize my stuff when I’m utilizing it for purposes unrelated to them, and there can be no claim that they are in any way even tangentially responsible in me doing anything aside from the stuff they are explicitly paying me to do. “We provided them with software and hardware so we feel entitled to some ownership” lol. If you give a corporate entity a chance to leave you bleeding and bankrupt in courts over a million dollar idea they’ll not blink an eye

It’s pretty typical for Vance. Yank the angriest incel imaginable out of their basement, give them a suit and a fresh haircut, shove them in front of a microphone and you get JD Vance. No exaggeration whatsoever

MAGA terrorists have assaulted newspeople, destroyed cameras, whole 9 yards. Might be some of that mixed in with everything else. Fear of retaliation or whatnot. Most of these people have public-facing jobs with little to no security detail and Trump’s supporters range from civil to psychotic

And the only reason they notice is because they’re about to drag you into HR over ‘time theft’

If Trump gets in, we set back the pro-life cause and free markets by a generation at least,'" Erickson revealed.

This guy is beyond naive. First thing Trump would do is go back on everything he said and all the republicans would do mental gymnastics to explain how it’s all congruent and justified and nothing was a bold-faced lie to the American people. And then Trump would contradict them all by saying he was in fact lying and it’s all part of a game that he’s winning, and they’d all bend the knee. Fool me 398 times

Media outlet: “X did this horrible thing”

Also media outlet: links directly to X, giving them free revenue for doing said horrible thing

Trump is untrainable lol

They’re praying he doesn’t ‘just be himself’ but they’re unwilling to admit that he’s just a horrible candidate who deserves to have things blow up in his face due to his impulsivity. The guy can’t even control himself let alone a country
