Or better yet, just switching it off and leaving it that way.

Oh no. /s

While I’m thoroughly anti-LLM and concerned that we’ve known about the ELIZA effect since 1966 and apparently learned absolutely nothing, there is also a certain element of PEBCAK here.

Yup :(

Ooh, those are some lovely features. If only Nvidia hadn’t dropped support for 10xx cards as per 590.xx locking me on kernel 6.12, I might even have been able to enjoy using ntsync!

(Fuck Nvidia)

Yeah, arguably we have been for quite some time. We should probably do something about that.

So, let me get this straight: Musk is arguing that he should be awarded some of the supposed ‘ill gotten gains’ on the basis that they’re ‘ill gotten gains’ because nobody should have earned them to begin with?

You know what, I don’t even care. Just let them fight. So long as one of those assholes lose, the rest of us win.

“It automatically does a facial scan of any household visitors using Palantir’s database and knocks the way they would have.”

“Couldn’t they just, you know, knock?”

“Sure, but then how would we track who’s visiting you while making you pay the power bill for our surveillance devices?”

I’m just going to install a door knocker.

Thank fucking God.

I worry about you, buddy.

And what have we learned?

Certainly, anything that can improve on the efficiency of thermometric conversion, let alone a solid-state device would be great news with wide-ranging positive ramifications. Especially over the massive range of scales that is claimed. Let’s see if the concept can deliver.

I believe that Handbrake externalizes the handling of BD encryption to an separate external library (libbdplus IIRC) for various legal and logistical reasons. You’ll need that installed too if you want to decode encrypted discs.

If the basic version of MakeMKV isn’t enough for you and you don’t want to register for the full version, Handbrake is a good alternative.

Fucking technologically illiterate nincompoops.

Good for him, even better for us.

I don’t care if he enjoys it or not. If it prevents him from passing on his clearly defective genes, I’m all for him chasing that Darwin Award.

The AI industry is apparently in need of a file system check.

I’m emphatically not saying somebody should soccer-kick Altman repeatedly right in the scrotum, I’m just saying I’d enjoy a good drink with a sigh of contentment if someone did.
