Not parent, but a revival of conservative fundamentalism brought a wave of strong "anti-satanic" fear in the US during the era that Harry Potter and Pokemon were popular. Christian groups were urged to and did burn them.

This is also the era where science curriculum was challenged to provide "alternate theories" to evolution, which included "intelligent design" and the Biblical Genesis story.

The most essential unspoken purchase for anyone living higher than the ground floor in an older building is an emergency escape ladder.

Jellyfin and Emby already exist, along with a ton other tools and services.

At first shake it seems bold of Plex to take the Disney+ approach, but the proof speaks for itself. If ads don't hurt monthly active users, then anyone annoyed by them can always pay more or move elsewhere.

Kill and control open/local.

I know I've seen American beer alongside the water in at least one German market.

10-1 represents the 101 key layout of the Model M. It's unique to this lab.

A friend accidentally told me not just how many servers Google was deploying for Bard, but what they were putting in them and the volume of the scale up.

A competitor with that information might have made a rush on a supply-constrained component market or negotiated longer term pricing agreements.

Ha, yeah, pro-AI interests have lost some velocity so they're pissing in the pool a bit. Keep focus on oppositional interests while they figure out how to rally. Just vomit threads, nothing of substance.

Stories about lurid sex deviants and socialists threats always poll well, and 'computer nerd sex party' is the new cherry flavor titillating bored suburbanites.

They also did a hit on Bernie Sanders on X for his "no artificial super-intelligence" bill, if you saw that, spun as "crazy old socialist scared of computers wants to take away your LLMs".

Perhaps try pronouncing it "Copy lot", in honor of how they were planning to harvest their training data by recording customers' screens.

Facetiously, of course.

The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”

“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”

In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.

From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.

“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.

Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.

Certainly not forgetting wattage. A 5090 is 575W. The M5 Ultra Studio is 480W.

nvidia-smi -pl 450 for like a 4% reduction in throughput. I tend to set it around 350W because it's a comfortable temperature blowing on my legs under the desk without warming my office in the summer.

I put together this system two years ago, so it's a little out of date, but it only cost $3000 for the same performance and capability as an Ultra. I don't think I would spend $7000 to save 100W, though.

The author didn't get invited to any parties in high school, and now they're concern-mongering Yud and Buds over some nerd bacchanals. That doesn't scale well.

The big question is, who's competing to sell us our salvation this time?

Went through the same last month. I had to both buy a new phone and still have my old one repaired to be able to authenticate to set up the new one.

I was a CyanogenMod user before switching to Pixel, and that experience was a monumental shove towards moving to Graphene.

I played it summer of 2005, the same year I binged Douglas Adams' complete non-HHG works (including 'Last Chance to See' on CD-ROM and the interactive fiction game, 'Bureaucracy').

Afterlife is wonderfully fun and satisfying to experience to completion for the first time, and what it might lack in replayability it more than makes up for with humor and design.
