Interesting way to put it. The first thing it made me think is that if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?

I haven’t looked into the current iterations options, but I think I still want the option to turn it off. Personally I’m less concerned with privacy and more concerned with it using up my computers resources.

Taking out loans to finish my last year of college

Is there something wrong with creating an account with fake info that you use just to watch YouTube?

Maybe it’s inspired by Rothko

This is how I’m able to sleep without worrying about death, one of these billionaires has got to be funding research so they can live forever. No guarantee they’ll share but that’s at least a less dread inducing issue.

Still waiting for HTC to make a G3 :-(

Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven’t returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

Couldn’t I just record my mouse movements clicking on it a couple dozen times and randomly replay one of those recordings?

Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

I’m not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that’s how it reads.

I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

I’m more trying to figure out why it’s generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

I don’t know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I’ve seen people do.

Ok, dumb question time. I’m assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can’t quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?

That’s pretty close to what I do. Imagine your manager asking a question that you answer in your supporting details question, so you have to repeat your answer. Then he asks another question that is also answered in that section. I used to reply underlining where I answer it specifically, but have given up as it made no difference.

My manager only ever reads the first 2 lines of an email. Very annoying when there’s a complex issue that needs more than 2 sentences to explain and he wants to know all the details. I swear he must’ve read it on a list of “x number of things that highly successful people do” and now he lives by it.

Laptop ram hasn’t changed in 25 years, the slots are bulky and not efficient. New laptops need ram closer to the CPU, so they are soldering them on the board, fast and efficient but not upgradable. New slot, more efficient, upgradable, better for consumers so hopefully laptops use this new standard.

Sounds like you’re just copying a template to new files based on a csv? You don’t have to edit anything inside the word files at all?

If that’s the case, just load the csv file, I think the command is Read-Content, loop through each line, split by ‘,’ parse whatever name data you need and copy your template.docx to your new file.docx

Hopefully it’s vandals, I can’t imagine being some guy taking a normal shit when all of the sudden the toilet disintegrates.

So if you don’t have any other computer and uninstall edge before installing another browser what do you do?

My head still does the dumb math on those numbers and immediately goes, “125k loan, 50k salary, she should have that paid off in 2.5 years!”

I have no idea why I still need to take a second to figure out that it doesn’t work that way. How the hell did I ever pay off my student loans?

You’re trying to make a new account? There should be an option to log into an existing one.
