I’m GOING to the Olympics this year. Totally stoked to travel to France. It is the only vacation my wife and I are taking this year.

The perfect summer treat

Mad love for Qobuz.

Very good movie

Private company in what way? The company is publicly traded - there are rules and regulations that organizations have to abide by. it’s not totally lawless current state … They’re legally beholden to shareholders to maximize value. They can do what they like but probably don’t want them allowing certain folks to have a platform (moderating the platform). Meta uses the grey area to manipulate and addict users, that’s just their business practice to drive value and generate views/engagement with their platform.

Agree this dude is unhinged.

You want to know why I love dat boi? Dat boi is a completely self-made meme. So many other memes are based in nostalgic childrens shows, funny faces, relatable situations, or references. Not dat boi. Dat boi is completely absurd. It’s a low-res frog on a unicycle, and an arbitrary method for greeting him. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so out of recognition. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so because a pre-existing meme format. The first person to ever upvote dat boi upvoted a meme literally pulled from the ether by sheer human creativity and willpower. Dat boi is evidence that humans can stare into the meaningless void of eternity and force their own meaning onto to it. I will always upvote dat boi, o shit waddup!

Yes 👍

Ai summary because it seems like folks aren’t reading the article:

The study finds that threatening anti-piracy messages aimed at deterring digital piracy have the opposite effect on men, finding they increase piracy behaviors by 18% in men. However, such messages can reduce intended piracy in women by over 50%. The research also showed educational messages had no impact on intended piracy for both men and women. Notably, those with more favorable views of piracy saw even higher increases in intended piracy when exposed to threatening messages. The findings suggest anti-piracy groups should tailor their messages for different genders and consider alternative educational approaches to avoid unintended consequences like increasing piracy.

Seems like threatening messages specifically drive piracy up in men, but not for women. If you have a favorable view on piracy then the aggressive ads make it more likely that you’ll follow through.

It’s pretty much saying that the industry may want to reconsider the way they frame their warnings because it may actually be influencing people to take action.

Ai summary of the article if you don’t wanna click the link:

A recent poll found that 76% of respondents agreed that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is comparable to Steve Ballmer, who led Microsoft during a period of decline. Both men took over from revolutionary founders as business managers focused on profits rather than innovation. However, under Pichai’s leadership, Google has lost its dominance in areas like search and AI, with competitors like OpenAI making strides. Many argue Google search has become cluttered with irrelevant results, while former employees say visionary leadership is lacking. There is a sense that Pichai’s Google is no longer the innovative company it was and risks losing further ground to emerging technologies if it does not recapture its start-up spirit.

Hahaha nice one! Jk this is low effort, but what else do you expect from a high-volume poster.

I asked the same question to regular Gemini and got a seemingly correct answer as well.

Yes - I didn’t have time to watch the video and wanted a text summary. Thought others might find it useful

Shuji Nakamura was a researcher at Nichia who was determined to create the first blue LED, which had eluded scientists for decades. Through innovative crystal growth techniques and materials discoveries, he succeeded in developing bright blue and white LEDs in the early 1990s. This breakthrough enabled LEDs to be used for full-spectrum lighting. Nichia’s fortunes grew enormously as a result, though Nakamura was not properly compensated for his invention. Today, LEDs powered by Nakamura’s blue LED technology are ubiquitous and have brought enormous energy savings worldwide.

Something interesting I found was that Nakamura persisted in his research for blue LEDs against the wishes of his company management, who saw it as a waste of resources. His stubbornness and belief in his work paid off by solving a problem that had stumped the electronics industry for 30 years.

Can’t play certain games* without windows

ChatGPT user Chase Whiteside noticed that his account history contained private conversations that were not his own. These included login credentials and details from a pharmacy employee troubleshooting an application. OpenAI investigated and believes Whiteside’s account was compromised by an external group accessing a pool of identities. This underscores the lack of security features on ChatGPT like two-factor authentication. Previous incidents have shown ChatGPT can also divulge private information if included in its training data. An interesting aspect was the candid language used by the pharmacy employee to express frustration with the poor security of the application they were troubleshooting. This highlighted the risk of including private details in conversations with AI systems.

Now if the spurs would just stop losing so much this season 😭😤😮‍💨

Agree. My gripe with this article is that I’ve seen it posted on ~6+ communities. I love that Linux is beating windows in gaming benchmarks, but I think the title sensationalizes it the out performance a slight bit.

Lol, you might misunderstand my issue with the constant repost. I get it. Reading comprehension is hard!

This has been reposted enough to where I’m going to start blocking accounts that continue to post it 😎
