Depends on the flavor of the research. I’m all for still dying in my 70s but also am for being relatively fuckable until the very end.

They’re less funny to me when they’re intentional/satire.

One could argue that proposing this bill has incited me to try IPTV now, before it becomes more risky to do so.

Are we great again yet?

Premium subscription that allows messaging people out of your network and provides a bunch of analytics about profile/article views. I know sales, marketing, and recruiting people that love it.

I can personally vouch for that not causing a problem either.

I use PowerShell for damn near everything. But I’m pretty sure when you’re just typing yt-dlp, space, then pasting the url, then any terminal is as good as any other.

Maybe if you want to customize something, like make your own file naming convention, etc, GUI could be handy.

Even then, it’s probably worth learning the CLI commands and setting up a config file with any desired settings. Once that’s setup, you’re back to yt-dlp url again.

Sometimes they don’t tell you and just quietly update all of their usernames…

Genuine question…why’s this comment getting downvoted?

I use both torrents and usenet in my setup, and none of the usenet sites I frequent have done down like the big torrent sites in recent years. It seems like a reasonable suggestion.

My bad, wasn’t aware. Doesn’t change how I feel about the obnoxious writing style though, for the record.

I remember that user from YPTB. Absolutely made my day when people started ripping on the rambling way he writes.

I’m envisioning full cloud gaming. Games are all hosted in Azure. Device is just a thin client, and it becomes useless if you stop paying your subscription. Of course, it’d already be useless on flights and anywhere with spotty internet.

Has that perfect MS blend of being built on Windows, requiring a subscription fee, and totally missing the whole point of being a handheld.

Make the OS lean and portable.

You think they’re more capable of this than hardware innovation?

It can be revoked, but the the official name of the card is a “permanent resident card” because holders have the status of “permanent resident.” Calling them temporary wouldn’t really clarify anything.

Strictly speaking, even citizenship can be revoked; there’s a difference in the legal term permanent as it applies to residency and the common definition of the word.

I don’t think they necessarily need logical reasoning. Solid enough test cases, automated test plans, and the ability to use trial & error rapidly means that they can throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and release whatever sticks.

I’ve already seen some crazy stuff setup just with a customized model connected to a bunch of ADO pipelines that can shit out reasonably functional code, test, and release it autonomously. It’s front-ended by a chatbot, where the devs can provide a requested tweak in plan English and have their webapp updated in a few minutes. Right now, there’s a manual review/approval process in place, but this is using commodity shit in 2025. Imagine describing that scenario to someone in 2015 and tell me we can accurately predict the limitations there will be in 2035, '45, etc.

I don’t think the industry’s disappearing anytime soon, but I do think we’ll see AI eating up some of the offshore/junior/mid-level work before I get to retire.

The only thing AI will replace is small, standalone scripts/programs.

For now. Eventually, I’d expect LLMs to be better at ingesting the massive existing codebase and taking it into account and either planning an approach or spitting out the first iteration of code. Holding large amounts of a language in memory and adding to it is their whole thing.

He promised to end the war before becoming president and, separately, to do so within 24 hours of taking office. He’s definitely promised more than nothing and fallen short of doing what he did promise.

I know what you’re going for, but accuracy is still important for some folks.
