The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens? I mean, even decimal months make more sense

Yeah! Did yours sprinkle the shavings on top of your cereal like mine did, too?

Right around the confinement my sister and I were talking about getting some seeds for my mom. Neither of us searched for seeds. From that point we both started to get ads for seeds, many for the ones we had talked about in particular. This thing was so unequivocal that it proved to me that our phones listen. Maybe they don’t analyze, but they definitely listen for words actionable for an advertising purposes.

And chinese EVs are still competitive in the EU. Tafiffs are effective, and can be positive, to prevent dumping and stuff, just not across the board.

Tape presents its own share of problems. If not strored in some very particular conditions, like temp, humidity, and others that I can’t recall, they can stick to tbe adjacent layers, become brittle, curved, etc…

Bog standard? They are more like “god knows what’s inside these” and cionsidering I have a solid suspicion there is no god…

There is a fairly reasonable theory floating around that no name drives have B quality chips, so these may have started with chips that were iffy from the start. Id like to see a test of this type , carried out by Backblaze, with thousands of drives.

Where is bluesky based? As far as I know you have to follow the laws of where you are based. Otherwisse we’d have to follow the lowest common denominator, like north korea, or afghanistan or the like

double the Ai?

As a Spaniard I was going to comment that it is kind of overpriced dog food.

Old. Repost.

Did you miss the “usual” part? I know there are translations that need to be done strictly by humans, but they are definitely not the majority. In my country there is a group of translators that are “official” translators, people with an actual masters in translation, and who must pass a very hard official exam. They translate things like official documents, legal matters, etc, but they do a very small percentage of translations.

Long haul freight truck yes. There are a few test convoys driving through Europe’s highways, with only a human driver in the first one. Trucks in smaller roads, or cities, are still quite a bit in the future.

I believe that a few jobs will be hard hit. Things like first level phone customer support or service are probably going to be decimated, keeping humans for 2nd or 3rd level.

A similar thing happened with the irruption of the PC. In a few short years, the majority of professional typist jobs disappeared.

I have done professional translation, as a side gig. The usual workflow involves a first run through machine translation (Deepl is my favorite), then opening the machine translation in a translation program (I use CafeTran), which is used to make the second pass, by the human translator. This program doesn’t translate (they can use one of the main translation engines) but provides a bunch of tools to make the translation refining process easier.

Pure machine translation is a hack. AI can’t grasp nuances, contexts, etc… You will often see many words that may have several meanings, used incorrectly, for example.

Wasn’t it Tibbets?

What sick, uncivilized, heathen place is that where eggs sell by the 15!?¿! Infidels!!!

I have to have Windows, a VM at least, for reasons.

A nameless install, decrapified with Chris Titus’ decrapifier, installer and streamliner script is actually decent

Is waterfox compatible with all or most firefox extensions? Also, can you import a firefox profile, and share between devices? I’m fairly invested in firefox, and would hate loosing functionality

They dont have to renege on anything. Just create a new variant, an let the original stsgnate. 5 years is an eternity in tech, so if an app is not updated in 5 years, it will be pretty useless.

We could call it Fetuscide, to trigger the fuck out of fundies and other retrogrades
