Thanks to the KKK, I assume.

I’m no Musk apologist, but this statement is nowhere close to being true.

It has options for providing metadata, thumbnails, etc for jellyfin automatically, by pulling the metadata from the youtube page.

The money has to come from somewhere.

That’s why elons team took over the treasury payments system.

I took a flyer on some GME back during the excitement. Got in at about $35, set a limit order at $420.69 (nice) for the lolz, and was pleasantly amused when that order got filled.

That’s basically what Netflix did in the beginning. The challenge for Netflix is that the media companies they were licensing content from weren’t dumb, so the licensing agreements were time limited. The media companies caught up and built their own streaming platforms and now Netflix is at the receiving end of disintermediation.

A hit piece on Nazis?

Drive through seems like a great proving ground. Record every drive through customer / cashier interaction. Match each recording up with the transaction entered into the register. Train a model by having the model “listen” to the recording to predict what the order should look like, then match it to the items on the transaction receipt.

Then, phase 1 of implementation is to use the model in real time by listening to the live conversation at the drive through, predicting what it thinks the order should be, then prompting the cashier to double-check the order to see if the human made a mistake entering the order if the prediction doesn’t match.

Phase 2 is human-supervised, where the order taking system interacts directly with the customer to take the order, the human checks the result, and is able to step in / take over if there’s a mistake or a special case the order system can’t handle.

Phase 3 is “fuck your entry level employment” and no human is monitoring the system.

All 3 phases seem completely doable to me at this point, depending on how much backlash MCD is willing to deal with.

He is a first-time offender, and the crime he has been found guilty of is a non-violent paper crime.

Right, first time non-violent felon, like Michael Cohen.

Passkeys sound great. Where’s the support for Firefox, Proton Pass? Bitwarden has it.

For now, hubitat seems to be a good balance between slowly improving the support and experience vs. price paid. I opted in for their subscription that does automatic backups with recovery to a different device and managed remote access and I’m satisfied with the value received for the subscription fee.

I doubt this will last; if they get successful enough, somebody will buy them like the Samsung / Smartthings scenario and the enshittification will begin (or accelerate, depending on your opinion of the status quo).

Hopefully by then homeseer has a robust hardware ecosystem and migrating isn’t very painful.

And the author is right, no need to touch Matter at this point if you’re already vested in Z-Wave or ZigBee.

They outline it pretty well here:

I didn’t make an argument, I just provided primary source facts.

Starlink was definitely on track to receive significant subsidy, the FCC recently rescinded.

Amazon and several other companies hired like crazy during pandemic. Now they’re trying to shrink the workforce via a combination of outright layoffs and tight policies to make anyone on the verge of quitting go ahead and do it so they don’t have to pay severance.

Bonus points for shedding older, more experienced, more expensive employees vs. cheaper early in career employees.

Similar vein, “Dave’s Old Porn”. I’ve found seeds for a few episodes, but never have tracked down the full set.

I’m not OP but I was curious and went looking.
