In the US we have a mix of:

• Price per individual unit
• Price per entire unit
• Price per weight
• Price per volume

And different products from the same category will choose different ones so you have to do the math anyway.

E.g. Sometimes our berries will be sold in split tubs so you’ll get the price for the whole thing and then on the comparison tag a price for half the tub. That will be sitting next to a different brand of the same berry in a package 2oz smaller and it’s comparison text will have the price per Oz, sitting next to that is an entire other brand and it will list the price of the whole unit and in comparison will list the same price again labeled explicitly as “per unit”.

Like every thing the US manages to shit out it’s an utterly terrible system.

I can’t wait for an updated knowledge cutoff to find the updated first 31 digits!

This is blatant consumerist propaganda!

Also shopping not fun. I want to walk into a store and pick up Balsamic Glaze and leave. I don’t want to have to assess the minute differences in weight, cost, and quality of 30 different products that are all in the same race to win over my dollar and maximize their profits.

That’s one reason why refill store is good.

We and our 19,324 legitimate business partners use cookies to offer you the best experience possible!

And some tools are worse than others.

Some require retentioning belts, readjusting the bed level, or other maintainance items before you can get a perfect print again.

My Prusa was tucked in between the cushions of my couch for a cross country move, left in storage for one year, and moved again before I just blew the first off and smashed out a perfect print from an SD card. That’s a solid enough performance I don’t think I’d consider any other brand.

But with enough of it you can make a new sword!

That took an expert?

If you don’t train juniors you don’t get seniors to fix shit or to build you more AI.

“AI” tech bros can’t even define the term. What they’re peddling is a nth degree polynomial regression with a hint of randomness at the end. That’s hardly “intelligent” let alone particularly “artificial.” The term sounded cool, and the end result had a similar enough vibe to what we’ve been groomed from media to be artificial intelligence so marketing coopted it. It’s now become one of those terms that’s so ambiguous you can shove almost anything you want in that big tent:

• Control a pong paddle–AI!
• Sucker gooners for money–AI!
• Advanced search of your restaurant menu–AI!
• The Internet, I guess if you’re uninformed–AI!

Which one is Preston?

The US also has reams of data on every American. The difference is America is using to control, capture, and kill people.

Oh God, that’s so fucking stupid.

The rotation is partly actively maintained by muscular action from the cat. This is a chemical process that requires fuel and releases heat. This also eventually tires the cat.

Given the relatively low mass involved this really doesn’t have much potential for large scale generation. An Ox mill would be more practical in most cases.

It ain’t hard to find out.

The Jewish delegation reflected a broad cross-section of rabbinic and communal leadership.

Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Executive Vice President of American Friends of Lubavitch (Chabad) in Washington, DC, was joined by Rabbi Chaim David Zwiebel of Agudath Israel, the mayors of Kiryas Joel and New Square, Rabbi David Niederman of Satmar in Williamsburg, Rabbi Moshe Margaretten of the Tzedek Association, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik of New York’s Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue.

Also in attendance were Holocaust survivor Jerry Worski, Council Member of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum Jonathan Burkan, investor Paul Packer, Holocaust Memorial Council Chairman Jeff Miller, Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition, and Rabbi Harold Loss of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, recently targeted in an antisemitic attack.

Joining them from New Jersey was Edan Alexander, a released hostage from Gaza, who attended together with his parents.

Now you know.

Was the Argentinian flag not enough of a hint at the original message of the meme that we had to append a separate meme specifically to call out a prominent omission?

There’s some sadistic undertone to bringing your artificial brain made from pumping lightning into rocks to a field of underlying building blocks.

Search engines are optimized to maximize profits for the owner of the search engines above being wholly accurate, succinct, or reflexive of the actual search query. This has the result of promoting results that are similar enough in most cases, but may not consistently be what your looking for–especially true when looking for historic relevancy.

I’m a developer who loves to tinker. This leads me to having weird technical errors at times (like black screens on new hardware with fresh windows installs on any version of a GPU driver). No amount of searching yielded anything relevant or actionable to resolve that issue. Plenty of posts trying to sell me the exact GPU I had purchased though.

I like small time musical artists. I’ll occasionally search one to pull up their discography only to find … the artist I’ve been listening to for years apparently doesn’t exist. Plenty of results for streaming apps though.

I’ll occasionally search lyrics verbatim only to find completely unrelated media as the only results.

Searching for product numbers and error messages often yields 0 results.

Google doesn’t even honor quotation marks to indicate exact matches anymore.

I’m glad you continue to have a good experience with search engines, but the experience I’ve had is one of severe degradation and intentional enshitification over the last 10-15 years or so.

You must not have niche hobbies or errors.

Some folks maybe aren’t prepared to do that themselves, but the more you use AI, the more confident you’ll become in leveraging those tools

Unfortunately it’s not the confidence in using AI that’s lacking. It’s the confidence in the output.
