For society? A smartphone

Literally heard this song for the first time in YEARS about an hour ago… wild.

Literally about to do same.

Jensen also is obsessed with how much stuff weighs. So maybe he’d sell shovels by the ton.

Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don’t need to go far… Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world…

PIs are kind of screwed from N* on the higher power end and ESP32 (or similar high power micro controllers) the lower end.

It’s become an underpowered middle player no one needs.

It was good while it lasted. PI3’s for $30 we’re amazing.

It’s how you get to the IPO … so yeah

Depends. They have yet to update any legally binding (or official) documents like EULAs.

I’ll believe it what I see, as it were.

“Trust us bro” from Adobe is worth zero.

Is it a “top” news service if I’ve never heard of it?

I’ve seen false AI gen stories reported by Reuters itself for pity sake.

I love how every post here has this comment now.

Language is magic. Some electrical impulses cause a bunch of electrochemical reactions in a complicated pile of meat to make air vibrate, and at a distance another complicated pile of meat turns the waves into a similar series of electrical impulses.

Of all the unlikely stuff to happen to make use… that’s still just wild…

It’s because we were given a name for something that didn’t have a name before but was everywhere.

This is a great thing. With a definition we can understand and discuss the topic.

That sounds a lot like failure to me…

I always assumed the majority of these were bots for MarTech companies testing for engagement.

Mind you, I assume 90% of YouTube comments are these days.

Fuck Spez… amirite ? Guys?

I don’t think there’s anything better or worse with using fractions versus decimal. Numbers are numbers… but your example just shows you have a •preference• for one method over the other. Not that either is subjectively better.

Your last example is literally exactly the same precision. Did you struggle with “significant figures” in school… lots of people raised in American schools do.

I think people are underestimating how important the YouTube thing is.

If they succeed, the entire ad funded internet are going to clone what they do.

It will effect everyone everywhere, whether you run an adblocker or not.

It will benefit the large corporations and choke out the smaller people. It will consolidate control and wealth.

Yarr? Yarr. Yarrr!!

Who cares? If they can’t run a service providing what people want. They disappear. The world won’t fall apart without a website that hosts videos. We’ll move on.

In the meantime don’t let them try to get away with maximizing profit at your expense.

Your best investment at this stage is support your local software developers and pirates working against the huge megacorp that gives zero fucks about what you think.

This is very true. They sell your data to their advertising partners. That’s what it’s for.

YouTube is trying to maximize profits. Doesn’t mean we should let them.
