The intent is likely a self-driving car, self-spotting the homeless. This shit belongs in /c/aboringdystopia .

This is fascinating. I hate the treadmill due to the monotony of doing that for 20-20 minutes. If I could break that up into 5-minute chunks over the course of the day, it's less monotonous, for sure.

Investing billions

Weren't the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn't be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.

Fucking Woodward. We're going to be getting these tidbits dropped all the way through the election. This guy and his antics to sell books...

Isn't Microsoft Copilot just ChatGPT?

It's always to sell a book, never when it could actually matter in real time.

While you are struggling to make rent, we're releasing clickbait to distract you from who you should really be mad at.

They missed the 25-foot waterproof wall, for the actual damage, the storm surge...

Hulu is owned by broadcast networks, they could just be using the same media, pre-condensed.

It's for ad time. At some point, the TV industry realized though couldn't get studios to make "30 minute" shows shorter then they already were (for ad breaks), so they artificially compress those show times to fit more seconds of ads in addition to the ad breaks they already had time for.

So say a studio releases a 20 minute episode of content for a 30-minute time block, distribution companies like Hulu will take that 10 minutes for ads,, plus compress (by speeding up) the 20 minute episode, too. It wouldn't even surprise me if they use an algorithm to determine which parts of the episode they can speed up more aggressively than others, to hide that impact from the viewer.

Wouldn't matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That's why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.

Nope I'm just awful.

People on the opposite side of that tolerance spectrum look at us avid ad avoiders like we put in too much effort to do that, so I see it as two sides of the same coin. I started blocking/avoiding ads due to the nuisance, long before privacy and security became even more prevalent attack vectors through advertising. That was just a benefit to the time saved by blocking ads, but not it's a primary use case.

When developers commit source code to a shared repository (for integration in software people like us use), they have the often-squandered opportunity to summarize the changes they are submitting. Linus (rightfully) thinks this opportunity should be leveraged more appr9opriately and more often, with more quality.

Maybe the rug itself was evidence that was buried, separately from a body. Weird, but having 2 dogs hit warrants some scrutiny for sure.

Unlikely all 4 though. Give people 1-2 they can map services two, instead of multiple wasted (branded) buttons.

I appreciate seasons with fewer episodes as they are forced to focus on good pacing and less "fluff". But longer in between seasons makes you forget the plot. I like anthology series as they don't rely on plot carrying between seasons.

I learned my lesson from the early days of covid. Buy that good stuff i bulk as a habit, not as an emergency reaction.

I'm like 80% sure they were being sarcastic in that comment. I hope so anyways.

Biden went somewhere on this?
