I've been trying to get through the useless IKEA chat bot to find out where the hell my refund money is. Or is this more about all the AI summaries I scroll past?

I've kept bringing this up with my management. What makes them think some people are doing any more than this, just because you've got them into the office? All you can seemingly manage to trace is whether buttons get pressed? If you can't figure out what the actual performance is, you don't know what you're trying to do

Sora could only generate something resembling copyrighted content if it was explicitly trained on it. So agencies that didn't give permission to that have nothing to worry about.

Randy, you forgot your pills again, didn't you?

Well, it's not charity. Even an indy title can take years to develop and requires multiple people, specialised hardware, licenses. And they probably don't work part time at McDonald's to subsidise their hobby. When the realistic market share you can hope to reach is 5 to 10 thousand people, being able to charge 30$, rather than 15$ can make or break you.

Producing emails so you don't have to write them and digesting emails so you don't have to read them. It's as if the big lesson all along was that we could all learn to be more concise and respect each others time. Now about those meetings...

Really common misunderstanding. I've spent years trying to correct people. I'm giving up. It's pervasive in the subtitling/translation/localisation industry

Pretty sure it does. Equilibrium is when Earth receives as much energy as it emits. If you increase the amount of energy going in, there is going to be more heating until temperatures rise to the point Earth is radiating an equivalent amount of energy out.

That's not quite right. While the root cause of global warming is obviously greenhouse gas, solar radiation absolutely has an impact. The amount of greenhouse gas sets how much heat the atmosphere can hold. The amount of gas we have now can hold a lot more energy, but it'll take decades for the temperatures to reach equilibrium point. Think of it as adjusting a thermostat and waiting for temperature to reach it. If we increase the amount of solar energy hitting earth , we'll be helping temperature go towards equilibrium faster. Equilibrium point is most likely going to be higher. And we'll trigger all the additional positive feedback loops like melting permafrost and shrinking ice cover sooner.

When I was a kid in the 90ies. Shame the hype kinda burned out.

What you need is Sponsor Block addon. It automatically skips past intros, summaries, sponsors, engagement reminders, credits, etc. And the rest I still watch at 2x speed because there's a lot of content to go through in order to keep up.

This is the post I wanted to see. It's all good to be outraged, but demand for a product doesn't disappear. Instead of discussing a problem in a vacuum, we can achieve more by educating people about alternative options.

Is that Dropbox had a password manager service. Looks like everyone wants a piece of that pie these days, and the competition must be cut-throat.

Perhaps the 20 to 80 mbit packages most people in UK were stuck with were technically broadband. Just the kind of broadband you'd find acceptable twenty years ago, not today. Prices are still outrageous. Imagine paying 50 bucks for 20mbit if your fixed contract ran out.

Why not both though?
