Fuck 'em.

Why is the government buying any of Intel?

This guy unpacked the code to show that once you’re 1000 points past your high score the game has an increasingly higher chance of being impossible. Not “quite hard”, but literally unable to win. There’s a good little interactive sample of how the game builds the impossible hands that it then serves.

Your note on “time to take a break” is funny to read, because the game accounts for this, too.

Sure, but won’t someone think of the shareholders?

Why even add that complication of a secondary device? Programmable coffee makers are like $30 and they last forever. I’ve been using my Walmart cheapo machine for 20+ years. This is a totally solved problem.

Ballot language is crafted to be intentionally misleading and political ads are nothing but hyperbole bullshit.

Umm, there are no EVs you should be going 75mph for hours at a time in unless you want to trash your range.

This is effectively telling people in the US they shouldn’t own EVs.

This is the cognitive debt of the past. We already had it. We just didn’t have the name for it.

We always called it “domain knowledge” or “tribal knowledge”.

How much time does that prodding take vs how long would it take you to just write the (better) code yourself?

Is this even a concern anymore? Haven’t we pretty much gutted any requirements that would actually matter / wouldn’t already exist in Chinese cars?

Does Textra support RCS?

The RCS interfaces (APIs) on Android are currently only available for Google internally to use, no other third party developer has access.

We are hopeful Google will make these RCS interfaces available in the near future to all developers (in the spirit of Android open source), so that Textra SMS can also offer RCS functionality.

TIL

For now its only supposed to check Google Messages, so not if you use a different text app.

Shameless plug for Textra as a much, much better alternative.

Yeah, exactly! This should serve no purpose other than reminding people to cancel their subscription from the Olympics or last season’s NFL playoffs.

TBH, I was shocked to find out that it’s already higher than $8 a month. Absolutely laughable prices here.

Don’t forget the fact that you absolutely, positively cannot trust the quality of the item that will arrive. At this point, you’re much more likely to get some third party knock off with a lot of popular items.

Usability-reducing features like this do me a favor by giving me yet another reason to use Amazon less and less.

You don’t really need anything else. Frankly, the guy you’re replying to is being a whiny bitch about this. FF + uBlock is plenty - all you have to do is spend 60 seconds configuring it.

Toggle FF’s AI killswitch to the “enabled” option, set your default search engine to whatever you prefer, and turn on uBlock’s “annoyances” list. That’s it.

It’s bait. The only “better” browsers are downstreams of FF.

1. Embedded watermarks in text

When a supported Claude model generates text, it weaves an imperceptible watermark directly into the text itself. You won’t see it, and it doesn’t change the meaning, quality, or readability of Claude’s response.

Because the watermark is part of the text, it will travel with the text when it’s copied and pasted elsewhere, and may persist through some editing. Watermarking will be applied at the model level, which means it will be present no matter which Claude product or surface the text comes from.

Can someone ELI5 how this would actually work, especially with copying and pasting?

Congratulations on reproducing the technology brought to us by DVRs decades ago!

LMAO gottem!

6 will actually be “RAM suppliers buy the stock in bulk and sell as refurbs, keeping prices up”
