LLMs will not give us AGI. This is obvious to anyone who knows how they work.

They should recommend switching to Firefox instead. It's clear that Google cannot be allowed to have a monopoly on browsers.

Is this one of those NFTs the kids are talking about?

Replying to a 10-year-old tweet is a power move in itself.

My wife and I are thinking of going to CR this winter, but we have a few other potential destinations on our shortlist. Talk me out of going to Costa Rica!

Imagine befriending a Trump voter. No thanks.

Yeah, it's turning into Amazon, flooded by resellers of cheap Chinese shit. That does far more harm to the Etsy brand.

the Ten Commandments are described as “foundational documents of our state and national government.

Jefferson must be rolling in his grave so fast that he could power the whole east coast. Bunch of uneducated goons.

The funniest part of this story is learning that American hospitals have gift cards. What a joke of a healthcare system.

I think the UI and lack of non-destructive editing is holding it back more than the name, but IDK

I don't think I've seen anyone else here with an 8:9 monitor, so I'll break the ice! The color theme is Layan Light; everything else is stock KDE.

I stumbled upon this community for the first time a few minutes ago. I like gardening and houseplants, but never heard of people recretionally growing mushrooms of the non-magical kind. Is it for food?

This was recorded in Cleveland for a radio broadcast; the tape became available as a bootleg and is known as one of the most important ones in the band's history.

It's the first-ever recording of "Fly by Night" and only their third performance with Neil. We can hear snippets of what would later become "By-Tor and the Snow Dog" in the Working Man solo.

A quote from Geddy regarding bootlegs:

A lot of people say 'It takes away from record sales' but [...] the fact is that any fan who buys a bootleg is still going to buy your record. So, who is it harming?

Sorry if this community isn't the right place to ask — I got a USB webcam that works great in Teams, but lags tremendously (3-4 seconds) in Zoom. I doubt the Zoom app is introducing that lag on its own, but how would I troubleshoot this?

This is on EndeavourOS (basically Arch)

Just picked one up. This is the best price I've seen this year. Very strange monitor but awesome for work - it even serves as a USB-C docking station with 90W power delivery.

Please forgive the noobish question, but what's going on with a document converter that it gets such frequent updates (and by extension forces a ton of Haskell updates)?

Maybe I don't really understand what the Foundation does (or what the ED's role is), but this seems like a very odd choice, even by GNOME standards.

Even back in the Windows 3.1 or 95 days I didn't have to reboot this often - sometimes twice a day. Seems a bit excessive?
