  • Yes, but

  • Hard disagree.

    1. Your hands are filthy regardless, you're on your way IN to the bathroom so you very likely haven't washed your hands but you've touched a LOT of things. Phones, keyboards, door handles, banisters etc. Pulling one more door open is not adding any meaningful contamination. If you are that concerned about one door handle, you should be VERY concerned about the state your hand is already in and thus would need to wash your hands before using the other facilities anyway.
    2. You're being overly paranoid. Your junk is not going to explode because it interacted with real world pathogens.

  • Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"

    Jump

  • I know this isn't going to be popular here, but I do really worry that people who take this approach will end up hamstringing their opportunities in life.

    I agree that AI is over hyped, easily misused and being forced into things it's not necessarily very helpful for....but that's also what it was like when the internet came around.

    I think people would be wise to familiarise themselves with the tools available if only to hedge their bets....you can't find a software engineering job right now that doesn't want experience with AI tools, and if it's as successful as many think it will be - you will find most jobs will expect proficiency with AI in the same way they expect proficiency with computers.

    It might go the other way and become irrelevant of course. But right now I dont think the majority of people are informed enough to know which way it will go and are thus just responding emotionally instead.

  • Interesting. And what was the how back then?

  • The money to be made is on predicting when, not it it's going to burst. Otherwise we'd all be betting the house on it.

  • Having just gone through something...I can attest to the fact that when you see no end to the pain, the mental anguish is immense. For some people that means a couple of points.

    For me when asked, I always think "could it be worse?" and having never had my balls trampled by a herd of elephants, or been hanged, drawn and quartered....I could never give a 10.

  • AI can do that.

  • Tabloid: the clickbait headline programming language

  • My first foray into doing anything remotely close to programming was substituting things in other people's TCL scripts. I had no idea what I was doing...but i was somehow getting results.

    I curently have no idea how this person did this, and so as a bare minimum id have to learn that in order to know where to start replacing keywords. Maybe it's completely trivial, but the fact remains I do not know and so I would have to learn something.

    So yes, even if they're "just replacing keywords" they're still learning something. Even if you consider it trivial or mundane.

  • I hate Trump, I think he's an evil traitor to humanity.

    However I also think he's me in this picture. I would stand there awkward as fuck watching everyone else who knew what to do take action.

    Not sure what people expect him to do here? But maybe that's because im as flawed as he is. In this regard that is.

    RFK pulled a blinder. He gtfo of there licketysplit...cus he knew the photos of him failing to offer effective medical aid to someone in need were about 0.06 seconds away. In-fact if you look closely you can see the RFK shaped smoke ring on the edge of the photo.

    Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

    Jump

  • I've not run into any of these issues....but as I went from iPhone to samsung perhaps its all just a matter of perspective. Perhaps the Pixel is superior.

    I check each year what the reviews are saying and the Samsung always seem to edge out on top for what I want - a large device (i get the Ultra) with a premium build and great camera. I also have a samsung watch so the integrations work quite nicely. I found the google wallet on the watch constantly asked for my pin while the samsung wallet only would the first time since I put it on. Oh and you have to unlock your device to use Google Wallet as your travel payment...with samsung wallet I can just tap and go which is much more preferable to me as it means my eyes are up and paying attention to my world, not looking at my phone unlocking it.

  • Reddit’s CEO Debuts As A Billionaire 20 Years After Cofounding The Company

    Jump

  • That's not evidence. That's just making stuff up to fit a narrative of your choosing.

    I'm no fan of billionaires either, but they do plenty of evil without us having to just make shit up. That only serves to dilute your (our) credibility.
