"AI" has existed since the 70s in terms of computing. In terms of the theory, much further back.

Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: ~~deniers~~ idiots.

FTFY!

This experiment was not specifically about whether a kid would wait for the second marshmellow or not (which would be delayed by 20+ minutes), nor whether they would play with the roomful of toys, but to see how they grew up. The real test was to catch up with the adults and see how 'successful' they'd become. The experimenters found that those children who waited for the second marshmellow achieved higher grades and had more 'successful' better-paying careers.

It's the concept of delayed rewards vs immediate rewards and is prevalent in the world of machine learning.

Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.

I'm in the UK and looking to switch over to a UK host provider. Can anyone recommend IONOS for the uk? I'm considering a fairly low-spec VPS. Even with VAT, their prices will be about 3/4 of what I'm currently paying.

Can anyone recommend decent UK hosting, VPS. 2 GB RAM, single core will be fine 30+GB storage, and PCI-DSS compliant for future business needs. Free backups would be a bonus!

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it looks weird, yes they've spent millions on researching optimum keyboard layout to reduce RSI, but my goodness, once you get over the 'eugh' of using it from muscle memory, I can guarantee it will be worth the cost. I love mine and there's a huge hacker community for it who modify it further.

Undoubtedly, programmers are a major user of keyboards, and IDE developers love function keys for esoteric shortcuts for debugging, moving around, and running code. So why do so many split keyboards not actually have the function keys.

I think makers are missing out a huge audience.

What are the regular things you tend to buy from aliexpress? Or maybe you haven't started yet and are thinking about your first purchase?

So I have an aging DellM4800 15.6" laptop. It's actually built to last, upgradeable MXM A GPU, replaceable battery, professional keyboard, good build quality, easy to get to parts, and has a great matt screen. I use it as a portable laptop, rather than a mobile desktop unit.

Still, Somehow the hinge on one side has become warped. I have no clear idea but suspect that from where it used to be on my lap, the rear fans blew its heat onto it. Or maybe it took a knock somewhere. This would be quite a knock.

Anyway, the plastic cracked and broke off due to the warped metal, and the one side feels a bit, loose and wobbly. It opens fine-ish and just makes a clicking sound each time its opened.

Are there usually generic metal hinges for laptop screens or are they unique to each device? I don't particularly want to have to buy a whole new screen or worse, a new case just for hinges for one side. The missing plastic is small and I can deal with it, but would like to get this one side feeling as solid as the rest of the case.

I think it's fair to say, the honeymoon has long since passed. Has any other president been pulled infront of judges so many times for their actions in such a short space of time?

It got 100,000 signatures in its first 11 days. I know quite a few of people on the fediverse are fed up of seeing bot posts about violence against musk cars to distract people from the real problems, so do something that will make a change. But you'll also need to help others who feel the same and who aren't around here.

The first time around, there were millions of signatures on the petition so you'll need to help spread the word about the website. Tell your neighbourhood, your friends and family, work colleagues, and if you're out and hear people moaning, tell them about it.

Maybe someone can make a separate post to brainstorm ideas? The instance I'm currently on has very few political channels, so maybe you can re-post this elsewhere.

It's awesome and I think most of you are going to appreciate it! Fallout 1+. You can choose just one radio station or mix them all together!

Healthcare normally have tight varying legal requirements that software must adhere to, so I would say there couldn't be a single solution for multiple countries.

I have a community-based website and I'd like to add a text and video-chat feature to it. I'd like it to be text-first and video second, so you don't have to be streaming to be in the room and for the main part, to be text. Everything I find is video-only. I can host the video streaming data myself.

Welcome! A completely unofficial English-speaking channel for discussing AliExpress and AliBaba, interesting products you find there or asking for product recommendations, scams to look out for, and more.

I never believe "well, there's someone worse off than you" is ever the answer.

Otherwise, you being held in a basement, chained up, raped daily, mothering kids by your abuser is not a bad situation because, "hey, there's someone worse off than you."

I thought it referred to the tears of the children who were forced to... oh, nevermind.

Isn't it interesting that the more "developed" countries have the lowest birth rates.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

during the long learning curve, one is usually grossly underpaid and sometimes scammed and or cheated.

See, that's the issue on such sites. Posters want a whole (e.g. e-commerce) project done for $100 because, "it won't take long" and then challenge your quotes with "well, I can get someone in bum|f*ck|land to do it for $100...". A game I don't want to play.

And sticking around and building a rep for a year is difficult when such sites have lots of scammers and sock accounts actively challenging you to make you look bad and their other alt accounts look good.

And this is how I see Linux quickly unravelling and planned insecurities creeping in over the next decade or so.
