He didn’t fail. He did what the board asked of him which proved to be more unpopular than they all had expected. So they gave him an obscenely generous severance package and sent him on his merry way.
He’s been rewarded and they’re just trying to position it so it looks like the company leadership gives a shit and won’t try the exact same thing at a later date.
Apple deliberately makes it appear that way so the competition looks bad.
They don’t really advertise the fact that they’re quietly intercepting all of their customers messages to other customers and routing them through a proprietary network.
And if you dare leave, messages from your old iPhone friends mysteriously won’t arrive unless you proactively deregister your number from iMessage or it eventually expires out.
I hope so too, but measured and calm behavior is not what I’ve come to expect from Bibi unfortunately.
How do you negotiate with someone that just kidnapped and executed or planning to execute hundreds of civilians?
You don’t. There’s no negotiating with terrorists, it’s too late. There is no good solution. The best Israel can do right now is make every effort to target Hamas, minimize civilian casualties and try to rescue as many people as they can.
If they go nuts and start trying to exterminate in Gaza they’ll just fuel the next terrorist standoffs and keep this going for several more decades.
Depends. You do a lot better price-wise with dry beans.
If you consider drained weight, canned beans are usually about $1 for a 15oz can in my area, which yields about half a pound of drained beans. So, $2/lb
Chicken is anywhere from $1 to $8/lb but I’ve been averaging about $2/lb. It’s our main protein source and I watch for sales and stock up.
I hope there’s a “Lemmy Is Fun” app eventually, but I haven’t heard whether the original developer is interested. He’s apparently working on something with Tildes.
It’s not great to breathe in, but neither are chemical pesticides. It doesn’t really get kicked up in the air once it’s applied unless it’s actively disturbed.
If you’re going to use pesticides, they all come with tradeoffs and different situations you can use them.
Diatomaceous Earth. It’s a powder of microscopic fossils. It’s a good non-toxic pesticide because it doesn’t use poison but works like microscopic razor blades on bugs and mortally wounds them when they walk over it
Yes. I have had many dreams where I’m actively reading something, I’m texting somebody, there’s a weird newspaper headline, the sign was wrong and gave me bad directions, etc.and I very clearly remember reading literal text and writing too.
I don’t know where that “you can’t read in dreams” thing came from (The Simpsons?) but it’s bullshit.
I’ve had 2 Chevys 1 Ford & 2 Hondas. I had multiple breakdowns and expensive mechanical issues with Chevy & Ford.
The only thing I ever paid to repair on either Honda was a windshield because a rock hit it.
I think it’ll happen eventually. I was shocked when B5 got the sprucing up that it did. The tools to do even a semi-remaster are getting better and cheaper and generative AI is making it a much less labor intensive proposition.
I like trying all the different styles and learning about new ones. Neapolitan, Sicilian, Roman, New York, Chicago deep dish, Chicago tavern thin, Detroit, etc. I just had quad cities style for the first time recently.
The variations are endless!
But it had to be something that the Klingons found very upsetting. If it was opera, they’d just keep rolling with it and having a great time
I don’t think NVIDIA minds the money they get from the DIY builders market, but they get a lot more money from OEMs. They shouldn’t neglect the DIY market, though. If the enthusiasts stop recommending their GPUs then big OEMS will eventually drop them too.
AI is just in a gold rush right now. Companies are throwing around piles of money to develop it.
Eh. it’s one thing always talking about Reddit in more general communities, but this is a Reddit community.
No one is buying the ‘hur dur in the office is more productive’ bs anymore.
It totally is a silent layoff, but I think a large chunk of the older execs still actually believe the office is more productive. There’s also a large chunk executives who have investments in commercial real estate companies who are trying to put off the complete collapse of that market so they can get more of their money out before it all goes to shit.
I don’t think we should assume the Kelcie Mae is particularly slow either. The ship’s speed isn’t determined by how many nacelles it has.
I think it’s reasonable to assume that AI API pricing is artificially low right now. Very low.
There are big open questions around whether training an AI on copyrighted materials is infringement and who exactly should be paid for that.
It’s the core of the writer/actor strikes, Reddit API drama, etc.
Simply throwing computing power at the existing models won’t get us general AI. It will let us develop bigger and more complex models, but there’s no guarantee that’ll get us closer to the real thing.
If they design the process efficiently it shouldn’t burn too much battery to update the system image. The phone just needs to power up, connect to store wifi, apply the image and shut down. Doesn’t even need to power up the screen.
