Maybe the parents should have been paying enough attention to their kid to recognize he was using illegal drugs, and intervened before he became sufficiently disassociated from reality that he was sourcing advice on mixing drugs from a chat bot without even bothering to double-check? There is...

They should most definitely have ended up dead and buried over this, instead they get off with a promise not to do it again? The system really needs a top to bottom purge at this point. Also, f*** the Northern District of Texas - damned corruption capital of the world...

I've used OCR and machine translation as part of my workflow for translating games, the occasional manga, and, back in the age of fansubs, anime from Japanese to English since long, long before LLMs ever even existed as a concept. Why? Because, while I speak and understand spoken Japanese, my...

While I mostly agree with your use of that XKCD comic here (which I actually have framed above my cable organization wall), I feel like the current situation with Android Auto and CarPlay shows that industry standardization is possible in the vehicle electronics/software space. Admittedly, it...

While not quite to the extent of the catastrophes in the article, I have run into this kind of issue as well, and with a car from a long-standing, well-known brand that is very much still around - BMW. When my dad passed away in 2023, I inherited his 2016 Z4. I realized pretty quickly that he...

Remember when something like this would have been too bizarre to even qualify as a bad joke?

There was a multi-year period during which a critical shortage of cyber security professionals was coupled with a huge surge in demand - as a result, huge numbers of people attracted solely by the idea of guaranteed employment and good pay started doing the bare minimum to qualify for jobs in...

I like the idea of a clusterbomb, but instead of explosives, the payload is idiots strapped to self-deploying parachutes, with megaphones strapped to their faces and headphones playing endless Huffington Post podcasts. Just imagine the terror it would inspire, seeing dozens of parachutes...

Well, someone has to provide an example of what not to do. We should all be grateful to these selfless individuals for taking on that role.

Trading in the well-regarded, popular WD SSD branding for the significantly less well-regarded SanDisk one, that many still heavily associate with that horrible self-destructing portable SSD debacle, is certainly a bold move. Not wise, or logical, but definitely bold. "Volunteering for...

This sounds a wee bit like a joke to me. It's like saying that robbing a bank is totally easy - all you need is an inside man, the ability to freely come and go as you please without anyone noticing you, and the combination to the vault. If you can: compromise the OS kernel illicitly...

...except much bigger and more lucrative.

That aspect exists under Fight Club rules - well, at least the first two. Valve will be carefully observing your conduct going forward. Remember: GabeN sees all.

Why not? Because, unlike cosmetics in other games, these ones can be resold, and people DO pay $14k+ for skins. It's become a secondary market worth billions, which has very different implications from other, "harmless" in-game cosmetics. ...also, when you pay for food in a restaurant, you GET...

The prizes in casinos are chips, also not real money. The only difference is that the cash exchange happens in-house. Breaking the prize and exchange into two separate entities does not suddenly make it not gambling - the third-party exchange sites need to fall under regulation, and, as long as...

Well, now, this certainly sucks...😞

You must have missed CoreWeave earlier this year, among others. If you check out WallstreetBets every now and then, you'll see some crazy stuff. ...not that I'd recommend actually following their example, unless you have plenty of excess cash to burn - it's basically just one step up from...

OpenAI gets to buy the shares over time, not all at once, as their orders are fulfilled and paid for. As someone with a good deal of money invested in AMD, I'm not totally thrilled about this deal, but if they can somewhat maintain the gains from today's rally (hovering upwards of 25% right...

You forgot one: 6. Build a wall to keep out the flies - Mexico will pay for it.

Call me an old grump, but the only thought that comes to mind when I see this is "Why?". Admittedly, I feel the same way about new vinyl releases in general - it just seems like the sort of thing designed exclusively for people who get high off of their own farts. I honestly wouldn't be shocked...
