Psychotherapists are conceptually like if your car broke down constantly and every mechanic told you they don’t know what’s wrong so you went to get a degree in mechanical engineering so you can do it yourself. It didn’t help, but you still have the degree now so might as well put it to use and help people with actually solvable problems lol.

It’s really strange how in-browser onedrive will sometimes prompt you with a “Please sign in!”, with two buttons, sign in, and ignore/later or something. And then you click that and it keeps being signed in. Lol, lmao even. Code written by absolute tic tacs. Am I fucking signed in or not?!

Given how many places here in Europe have had several names throughout history depending on who occupied the territory at the time, and that country usually still calling that place that today regardless of what it’s officially called today by its current occupier, the answer is that everyone can do whatever they want. Language differences mean you often have to translate the name anyway.

Like, Mexico City is about as wrong as Gulf of America from a Mexican perspective, it’s not exactly labelled Ciudad de Mexico is it.

You’ll need a tray

But there must’ve been a death star canteen, yeah? There must’ve been a cafeteria downstairs.

I’m always surprised online journals still ask for subscriptions with a straight face for the quality they put out. Someone making shit up on Reddit is probably more factually correct.

Yep. One must move beyond an “I hate you and I hope you die” relationship with ads, to a “I don’t think about you at all” relationship with ads. Regardless of how many fits Google throws about ublock, one can always do VPN/DNS type filtering. I’ve honestly almost forgotten ads exist.

I’d still manage to magically snag and trip over it.

Along a similar line, guy makes a global surveillance company and calls it Palantir, apparently oblivious to how much of a comic book villain he looks like. Thiel looks at Sauron like “that’s so meee”.

People are just gonna keep reposting this one day after day huh.

Each worker has a readme now, it’s alright /s

Saw this blog post recently about waymo’s sim setup for generating synthetic data and they really do seem to be generating pretty much everything in existence. The level of generalization of the model they seem to be using is either shockingly low or they abort immediately at the earliest sign of high perplexity.

Well it’s different when you’re selling drugs

Yeah I’ve heard of that, but so far it’s just rumours. Hopefully it ends up being something reasonable.

I’d get on graphene in a second if they supported more than one phone, and I’m not buying a damn Pixel alright. Google if you don’t and Google if you do.

There’s a solution here you’re not seeing… RGB lights. Setting the hue on the fly to match what I need has been pretty neat. Pure white for work, natural white for relaxing, red only for venting in the summer since insects can’t see it, green and blue strobe for dance nights, the only limit is your imagination. Living in the future has at least a few perks to go with all the downsides.

The bureaucratic kind, one that usually involves a government given pfx, adobe acrobat and some text plus timestamp. Okular can do it if you put your mind to it and waste a lot of time but it’s really involved.

Could could could no scout no scout no scout

“I can’t digitally sign a pdf without a phd”

That front display it has definitely looks like it would die in a decade so I’m doubtful they achieved their goal. So many failure points.
