MSFT’s entire method of operation revolves around acquisition.

They bought into OpenAI just like they did for all of their major products in hopes that it makes money.

I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss at the agreement made under Obama or if you’re actually serious.

Dunno why Ukraine would make a big announcement out of this considering it’s already well known that Russia shares intel with Iran.

I’m pretty sure they gave live target info too

You couldn’t pay me to attempt space travel in a Lockheed tincan.

Would not be surprised at all if NASA delays this to next year.

All three NY area airports are notoriously bad in every aspect lol.

I worked at one that actually wasn’t too bad except we had a peer review system for client reports and I was horrified to see how many people had such poor english grammatical understanding that they just assumed the AI was always the correct and better output than human.

And I don’t mean people whose second language was english, I mean native english speakers were giving me AI feedback to change sentences that would completely change the context or horribly maim phrases into past tense where tense of the subject was very much important.

I could easily ignore the changes from coworkers, but a handful of managers would then give performance feedback telling me to utilize AI and grammarly to improve my report quality, even though all of their report feedback was utter garbage lol.

On a related note, grammarly can also go screw itself. That joke of a software suite still doesn’t hold a candle to Word 2007’s editor.

I might have missed it but I’m surprised no one has mentioned a tiling WM.

I almost expect them as much as arch users lol.

Its call herbicide because it only affects plants

– Monsanto probably

Yeah I can’t wait for when enthusiasts want my stacks of 2004 laptop RAM sticks and LCD panels.

The demand will open up any second now

Lol weren’t they just running a ton of feel good headlines about providing asylum to Iran’s women football team that would “save” them from the regime at home.

Of which I think only 4 decided to opt for it.

I know its the same ol map but the abstaining countries speaks a lot more to their current relationship with the US.

If you’re curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.

It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that’s capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.

That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.

Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.

40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can’t even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that’s often banned by other countries due to health risks.

The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything “high” in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).

Everything was switched over to “healthy” options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.

If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don’t worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.

Charter and private schools aren’t really affected by this since they have alternative funding sources.

His announcement reminds me of the fake Hitler broadcast on Hogan’s Heroes where they proclaim Germany is winning rhe war but negotiations are happening lol.

If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that’s how most models present eventual societal collapse.

If you mean because its too far gone, that’s not true. There’s still time to mitigate the issues we’ve created, but the effort required increases every year, and there’s not enough being done about it.

I read the title in the same voice as youtube’s “That’s how the law works.”

Why am I like this?

Procrastination

And how can I make it stop?

Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.

Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

If it makes you feel better, Pakistan’s insanely corrupt utility companies run a scam tax for every kw you provide to the grid, so you only earn like 15% of the actual power’s worth, and only after you pay an exorbitant fee to install a reversible meter.

So now everyone skips the meter and has started installing tons of batteries to completely bypass the grid lol. Like every house and even villages are wired for solar, but the crappy utility companies still do rolling blackouts to pretend there’s a shortage of supply.

Even funnier, the batteries reach ROI in only 3 years, and they still fetch good money when you go to recycle them due to the precious metal value.

I think it was ~3k last time I checked on AP which listed it from several Iranian health orgs reporting both deaths and injuries.

The 30k that CBS pulled out of its ass was definitely fake though.

I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback

Remember when a couple of critical CVEs went unnoticed and unpatched after disclosure because no one from Microsoft actually reads the insider hub lol.
