the first clinical trial — dubbed MEOW-1 (ManagEment of OverWeight cats with OKV-119)

Nice

They probably caught on when people started buying hundreds of xboxes to build supercomputing clusters

The old ones are copper, not that sorting through a haystack of pennies trying to find the 3.5c needle is a productive use of time

y’all need Jesus fiber

Or just… teach them? play movie.mkv isn’t rocket science.

Instructions on how to switch to HDMI 1 are currently taped to the back of my mom’s TV remote

Stomach acid is like 10,000,000x more acidic than most alkaline water is basic. Dilution is probably doing an order of magnitude more work than the hydroxide here (meaning just drink more tap water)

Things like gradient boosting, supervised + reinforcement learning, NLP (sentiment analysis), etc have been used in algorithmic trading for decades.

Hell, much to the chagrin of statisticians, some people even lump linear regression under the AI umbrella

Also I think you are confusing fundamentals and technicals

I didn’t grasp the scale at first and was wondering where you got the dog-sized disk drives

Most can probably go through life without ever having to use the insurance or be stopped by the police.

this is anecdotally super wrong.

I drive like 15,000 km a year (VERY LITTLE) - in the past 20 years I’ve hit probably a half dozen ride programs and been rear ended twice by someone else while fully stopped at a red light

While I’ve never had to actually file an insurance claim, there have been plenty of times I’ve had to present it

tl;dr - Allegations occurred in New Zealand, plaintiff is a NZ citizen, Gaiman is a NZ permanent resident and lived there at the time. Wisconsin said “go and refile in NZ, we’re only touching this case if Gaiman refuses to accept service there”

Southern Australian springtime swimmers who properly update their Bayesian priors know that sharks are the true danger, NOT lightning strikes or plane crashes

I was like you, until my mid-30s hit

Now buffalo wings will have me waking up at 3am with acid reflux even though I didn’t even register spice while I was eating them 6 hours earlier

“[…] In exchange for a waiver of fees accrued since 2023”

Sounds like Oracle got them with the good 'ol “buy an even bigger license or we’ll sue you”

I would assume the radiographer working in the ER sees a lot more foreign-body-up-the-butt cases than the one working in a cardiologists office.

Also I’ve never had a specialist take my dental X-rays, it’s always the hygienist or dentist

There are low powered FM transmitters you can get for your car

FM transmitter plugs into cigarette lighter for power

iPod connects to FM transmitter via AUX cord

You tune your cars radio to whatever frequency the transmitter is set to, and it plays whatever your iPod is playing

Your computer is a bunch of parts that need software to make them work. The “operating system” handles talking to the hardware directly, while the programs you run only talk to the operating system. Talking to the operating system is easy, talking to the hardware is difficult, since you may need to speak a hundred different languages to work with every possible network card, sound card, graphics card, etc.

The operating systems you have probably heard of are windows and macOS. Linux is a 3rd one.

Windows is owned by Microsoft, macOS is owned by Apple, and Linux is developed by the community and (typically) released for free. Since anyone can work on Linux, there are tons of different versions of it floating around, that are all slightly different from one another.

But AMD has been making leaps and bounds improving their GPU software

They are still largely shitting the bed here. Their ROCm installer won’t run on Ubuntu 25.04 last time I checked, and the 9070xt won’t work on OSs that ROCm DOES support because the kernel and graphics stack is too old.

ROCm has been “almost ready” to be a drop-in replacement for CUDA for almost a decade. I feel like it literally would take nvidia ceasing to exist to give them the critical mass to push it over the finish line

It’s the best time I’ve had with a game since BG3 - gameplay is ‘just’ good, but the story and design are next level

> want to compile 50kb C++ console app on windows

> 6 GB MSVC installation

Lenovo apparently offers the choice on some models, with the windows license adding $140 to the price of the laptop.
