What’s with lastFM these days? I used it some 20 years ago when they started and they offered free, automatically curated radios (like Spotify ), but then they flipped, thanked the users for the data they collected from listening data and switched to some subscription model

You don’t need those either. You can learn to play an instrument, enjoy music on the Sunday mass, or wait until the local troubadour visits your place.

It’s just easier with the record store.

I don’t know what language you were learning, but I think it’s impossible to finish Spanish. True, I usually go one lesson per day, but after nearly 3000 days I’m at 6/8 section. I finished once the tree out a lot of effort in, they reworked the whole thing and I got back to the middle

Good, now Hungary can put that 2M EUR per month from propaganda into research, education and healthcare.

For me it kinda went the other way, I’m almost convinced that human intelligence is the same pattern repeating, just more general (yet)

The building style?

For legal reasons, before letting you watch a guy pounding his stepsister stuck in the washing machine, we have to ask you to select your favorite Dexter’s lab episode.

Most banks these days need their app as well to log in to their website because of forced two factor authentication

Kile used to be great, probably still is

I see how that is a hype train, and I also work with machine learning (though I’m far from an expert), but I’m not convinced these things are not getting intelligent. I know what their problems are, but I’m not sure whether the human brain works the same way, just (yet) more effective.

That is, we have visual information, and some evolutionary BIOS, while LLMs have to read the whole internet and use a power plant to function - but what if our brains are just the same bullshit generators, we are just unaware of it?

That was a very long time ago, that’s fine now

For offline editing there’s already LibreOffice

Now try to add an extra layer of crap with English not being your native language. At this point only zoom gives fairly correct transcripts, both apple and Google are on the “you know what, I’m rather typing this shit” level

That’s Samuel L Jackson from Kingsman

They are bringing it down?

I think I have my next ready thanks!

Like, not dying while trying to go through menus while driving

I tried that as well, but for me it was like being 10 again: -you meet the bandits -I, the lvl1 player kill them all -OK -I just remembered my party had a necromancer, raise the corpses -sure thing -I march around with my undead army and murder everyone who is in my way -This game is about creativity and cooperation -Not today -OK

As far as I know there would be, it’s just that nobody is using them that way

I don’t mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.

There’s no fair winning against this policy
