According to the screenshot, it doesn't even call her a trans woman, it calls her a man. Presumably because man and woman are the only options on her little TERF world.

Lots of games worked just fine on a 486...

Commander Keen and Lemmings should keep you busy for a few evenings at least.

That's an unfair characterization.

It's not just the things they don't like that can't happen...it's also the things they do like that must happen! See, for instance, prayer in school. (Separation of Church and State only applies to satanic stuff or something, idk...)

Hilarious to me that it OCRs the text. The text is generated by the computer. It's almost like when Lt. Cmdr. Data wants to get information from the computer database, so he tells the computer to display it and just keeps increasing the speed --- there are way more efficient means of getting information from A to B than displaying it, imaging it, and running it though image processing!

I totally get that this is what makes sense, and it's independent of the method/library used for generating text, but still...the computer "knows" what it's displaying (except for images of text), and yet it has to screenshot and read it back.

I think an email address is required to access their respective app stores, but is it actually required for creating an account?

You're right --- the first result I stumbled upon was the Simple wikipedia result which erroneously calls an epoch 1,000,000 years ( simple wiki link ).

Millenia is thousands, epoch "Mya" is million years ago.

But as my stat mech professor once said, "what's a few orders of magnitude between friends?"

Edit: thanks to bisby, MBM.

Except a millennium millenia is a thousand years, not a million years.

65-145 epochs ago might be the correct wording?

"Mya" would be the correct term.

Edit: corrections from MBM, bisby.

From TFA:

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is now investigating the company's new AI feature, too.

No; as the person who spotted the typo, it is your sacred duty to define quii.

I mean I certainly agreed with the sentiment, but this is largely describing dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers, which were invented some time ago.

Part of the reason these take time is that a lot of folks are resource conscious (as am I). So we want the dishwasher to be efficiently loaded, the clothes to be dried on a clothesline if possible, the white/colors to be separated (increasea the longevity of the clothes), etc. Sacrificing all of these things makes these chores really very quii, if you can afford to have them all in your home.

And in fact, the cost of these things is relatively low --- in my high COL area, it's not that people can't afford these things, it's that they can't afford a place big enough to accommodate them. Which is its own issue altogether...

Haha what a crazy idea, what would you even call that? A bike for mountains? A mountain-style bike? Don't be fatuous!

Equally ridiculous would be of you made one for roads with gravel. Some sort of...gravel-friendly bicycle.

But no GIL if I'm not mistaken. Which means you can get some multi threaded tasks to run much faster without jumping through hoops.

There are plenty of distributions without systemd --- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_distributions_without_systemd

Right --- and I think that is a real issue that deserves real attention, and closing these bullshit carveouts for high GVWR vehicles should absolutely happen.

That said, I take some issue with ragebaity posts when less ragebaity posts (such as the article you linked) are more informative, offer fair comparisons, and ultimately are more critical of the problem.

Just my 2¢.

I just say my name is Bigus Dickus whenever they call me. They usually hang up or insult me.

For the "car's extended warranty" I just tell them it's a 1969 Wayne Industries Batmobile. They usually just say they don't provide coverage for that car and hang up.

Only briefly skimmed, but don't you need nonlinearity for these things to work (e.g., rectifier, sigmoid...)? Else, it's just linear algebra, and more layers can't help (since matrices can be multiplied, the dimensionality is the only thing that matters). I don't think you can really get nonlinearity with one bit.

Not my field, so I'm sure I'm missing something. If anyone wants to ELI5 though...

Bigger does almost always mean more emissions/worse economy for a given technology. In this case someone else pointed out that the economy is about the same for both, which is due to the fact that technology has improved; if you put the engineering effort of the big car into the form factor of the little car, it'd be much more efficient.

The Chevy Suburban is about the same weight now as in 1973 (5837lbs then, 5785-5993lbs now, according to Wikipedia).

It was huge then, it's huge now.

The BMWs pictured are not the same class of car either --- one is a coupe/sedan, one's an SUV, so of course they will be radically different.

Don't get m wrong, I think modern cars are too big and, in the case of BMW, way uglier than they used to be.

As far as reinstalling and losing your data, you may want to just backup /home to a USB disk now.

You'll want to figure out the VPN issue, so maybe post what you know about that. Also post ifconfig -a or ip addr show. Also the output of route for good measure. Can you ping anything? Is it just a nameserver issue (try pinging 8.8.8.8 and kernel.org, for instance)?

Once you have network access, I'd install tmux if you're going to be spending any significant time debugging in the terminal :)
