Reddit was one of the most human places on the Internet, until King Steven the Turd decided that it’s human interactions were a valuable resource that he could sell.

Now, it’s all just bots talking to bots to learn how to sound human.

Move Zig, for great justice

It’s a maze of twisty passages that gets there…

Infocom was bought by Activision, which later got merged into Activision Blizzard, which Microsoft later bought.

Just because you’re writing in a shiny new language that never misses an opportunity to crow about how memory safe it is, doesn’t mean that you can skip due diligence on input validation, checking every return value and writing exception handlers for even the most unlikely of situations.

Lol

If I read the article property, the real asset is the rackspace and power they are already leasing. They would tear out the existing Bitcoin mining infrastructure and replace it with AI servers.

Plot twist: this is just corporate shilling, too, trying to convince us it’s only 15%…

There are two ways to interpret the question.

If you go with “will the internetworking between independent diverse networks ever go offline”, the answer to that is most definitely “no”. With so many independent entities involved, and so many redundant connections, data will find a way to be routed to where it needs to go. Perhaps a coordinated attack on undersea cables might disconnect continents from each other.

But if you go with “can the commercial Internet that companies use to sell stuff ever go offline”, I think we’ve seen that the answer to that is “yes”. As more and more commerce moves “to the cloud” I think people are ignorant about how concentrates computing in a few distinct geographical areas and companies. Yes, I am aware that those companies are very good at 24/7 operation and site reliability. Until they fire so many people that they aren’t reliable anymore.

Those are rookie numbers

Take up knitting. I’m serious.

“Eight Sleep confirmed there’s no offline mode yet, but they’re working on it.”

There’s an offline mode after all. Unplug it!

Based on this link, the proper thing to do should be to report it to the FCC. I am not sure how much Trump’s FCC will pay attention to the report, though…

Idiots, who have no problem spending what little money they have on Patriotic Merch. So, the perfect customers to shove Patriotic ads at…

Sinclair seems to have some experience producing their own Fantasy shows (masquerading as News Content). They don’t have to put in that much effort to capture the attention of the MAGA crowd.

I wonder what is worth more to ABC/Disney, all those direct subscribers, or these affiliates that are consolidating into two or three big media companies?

This might be the beginning of the death of the affiliate model. What would happen if Sinclair simply stopped affiliating with ABC altogether? They own enough stations that they can do their own thing. Would it matter if there is no ABC station in Mobile, Alabama, if people who still want to watch can stream it?

Sweet! If this pumps my Dogecoin to $69 I can retire

On the other hand, the AI will never talk back, doesn’t want to abandon you to spend time with its own friends occasionally, and doesn’t have a mother who thinks her offspring could do much better. Doesn’t sound half bad, if you ignore the fact that it’s all fake.

Yes, putting up with all that is all a part of building healthy relationships between humans, which is a key part of growing into adulthood. But not everyone gets there.

I got the magazines that came with BASIC programs printed in them, you could pay extra to get a subscription that included a tape with the code so you didn’t have to type the whole thing in and risk typos.

That early foray into BASIC was essential for my early involvement in technology, in spite of what Dijkstra said that one time…

Yo mama’s so fat, even Dijkstra couldn’t find a path around her.
