sunk cost fallacy let’s gooo

So that we can discuss the issue without triggering abuse survivors would be a reason.

Some non peer reviewed paper with a tiny sample size is hardly enough to go “The Science has spoken”. On the other hand, one can make an appeal to the intuitive idea that lack of practice implies lack of skill.

This immediately points to the pernicious effects of touting LLMs as a machine to do all the thinking for you. Heck, the enthusiasts are even using LLMs to do their social interactions for them.

This is a warning to people as much as workplaces: is this task you’re offloading to LLMs really a skill you want to see atrophied?

So you take a small round slice from a fresh baguette and toast it. While still hot you put some brie or camembert on the toast. The point is for the cheese to get a little sweaty byt not runny. Finally cut a date open, pit it, spread it on top of the cheese. Heaven.

Vintage Story looks like a pretty cool survival! Do you have recommendations for games on Luanti?

I’m with you. Very puritan, kinkshaming article. Stellar Blade might not be my thing, but I know not to yuck people’s yum. One could take the opportunity to discuss sexual objectification, but apparently that’s off the table.

Who is this fear mongering creep?

Anyways this video goes into some detail instead of ominously saying jack shit and it sounds like this Enrico guy was mostly busy shuffling code around and breaking stuff, then pivoted into a crusade against DEI. Doesn’t fit the persecuted savior story.

Which would have been an opening to actually make the II, tying into the weird ass order actual Star Wars were filmed. I love this

Technology induced problem solved by yet another layer of problematic tech. Capitalism, ho!

What’s the relation with Mint and the UK?

But but but, Libre Office isn’t an operating system! Now I’m curious what distro they’ve adopted.

If you want to play Hades as a girl, you can play Hades II :D

Kind of half related, but Microsoft loves to fuck with dual booting as well in various ways. Just last year a security patch broke dual booting, required a complicated workaround to get out of, and was only properly fixed 9 months later. Historically some “fast boot” shenanigans have been known to actually be “fucking with linux dual boot”. At this point if I need Windows for some adulting, it’s done in a virtual machine. Microsoft has simply lost their privilege to bare metal access on my PC.

EDIT: Stories like this post are disheartening though, since they show that Microsoft can use their weight to make everyone else’s experience worst even if you completely avoid them.

North of the frontier defunding the CBC sometimes comes up too unfortunately. The conservatives serve us the same arguments: accusations of CBC being partisan and of being radical left.

This is beautiful.

Similar “free-space optics” systems have been tested since the late 1990s, but past attempts were limited by weather conditions and fragile alignment systems. Taara claims its devices overcome many of those limitations with improved beam tracking and more resilient design.

They claim they’ve overcome that hurdle though, as per the article.

You sure are spending plenty of attention on defending that you don’t have attention to spend on this. We all vote with our wallets. There’s no opting out.

While I was studying 25 years ago every student had bought an education version of Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 at the local shop, which was less than a 100$. In the meanwhile everybody was sharing a cracked copy of Adobe Photoshop since the only license available was upwards of 600$. They absolutely did that to themselves.

That. is. gorgeous. Congrats friend.

I’m a noob, what do you mean by “3 way PCB”? (I understand the “PCB” part, but not the “3 way” part.)

In 2012 Microsoft launched Windows 8, which was supposed to be a first step towards transitioning the OS into a walled garden. They clearly intended to shut Steam out, eat Valve’s lunch and take over PC gaming. In the end they backed down, but Gabe took the hint. The consequences are still steadily unravelling today.
