with absolutely no return on investment for them.

They show ads unless you pay for the super plus version of Prime. So by streaming they get ad revenue from the companies advertising even if you don’t watch the ads. The companies pay for the ads by increasing the price of what they sell- and they don’t sell only on Amazon but everywhere.

So when you buy a bag of chips at the local store, some of that money is going to Amazon because you had their streaming on.

" the term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined by John McCarthy in the proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference [4] . In its beginning, Computer Chess was called the Drosophila of Artificial Intelligence. "

Expert Systems:

Lisp is a language USED for AI research, that doesn’t make it AI itself. “Lisp was an AI language.”

I didn’t say Lisp was AI. I said it was a language used for AI.

Chess programs were AI. Expert systems which were regular logic were AI. Lisp was an AI language. Chat bots were AI.

This is a bot which makes it a type of AI and it’s really inaccurate.

Bradbury did it first. In the Martian Chronicles from 1950, the Martians don’t believe in life on Earth because it has too much oxygen.

Detection is completely broken because it finds terms that aren’t anywhere in the thread, even as substrings.

AI isn’t just LLM.

Why was this upvoted? It’s AI slop giving definitions for acronyms that aren’t in this thread and not even related to backups.

To be fair a guillotine is a weighted blade 14’ off the ground. The OP is talking about a man with a sword.

But there are many videos showing cutting through an entire pig carcass in one sword stroke.

When he says “fight or perish”, maybe he means fight for your right to party. Dog of course refers to I Wanna Be Your Dog by the Stooges. The ego perishes under the weight of uncontrollable love.

The Thor is more like a mini Steam Deck replacement instead of a Gameboy replacement. So the limitations of boot times and standby time aren’t seen as a problem when the alternative is a laptop.

There’s nothing to really tweak on Android because it is Android which hides most things from your control. I did everything I could. If you play every day and charge every day it’s fine. But if you treat it like a classic handheld you will be frustrated.

A real handheld like a Gameboy Advanced can be left in a drawer for a year and ready to go. That’s the experience that a Linux retro gives you. You don’t have to constantly think about charging. It’s instantly ready whenever you are.

I have a Retroid but despite the hardware being fantastic, I wouldn’t recommend it because Android is a bad retro gaming experience.

Instead of turning on the device and instantly being in a game, you have to boot Android, which is ridiculously slow. If you don’t do a full shutdown after playing, you’ll find your Retroid’s battery dead the next time you pick it up because of Android’s idle battery drain.

Linux retro handheld’s like the Miyoo Mini work so much better. You turn it on and you are in your game in 10 seconds instead 45 just to get to the os and then need to load the emulator, load game and restore state. When you hit power on a Miyoo or equivalent Linux, your game state is saved and the device fully powers down so there is no idle power draw.

Maybe the wolf is finally what it always wanted to be: fabulous.

There’s Chinese ram that’s becoming good. But that doesn’t mean Americans will be allowed to buy it.

But really gamers are the worst about consumerism. Nvidia is the worst and gamers keep going back. Steve from Gamer’s Nexus had a funny chart in one of his videos a year or so ago. It was a flow chart about gamer spending on hardware showing all the advantages of AMD and Intel in gaming with a big arrow at the bottom that was labeled something like “And then you ignore everything and give all your money to Nvidia.”

Kids used to be outside all day.

Pebbles 1969. But it wasn’t the first: Frosted Flakes 1951, Sugar Smacks 1953, Captain Crunch 1963, Lucky Charms 1964.

Frozen TV dinners began in the 1950’s. People ate that shit for dinner. Margarine was more popular than butter.

A variety of fresh food wasn’t available to regular Americans until the 1980’s. Everything was canned or at best frozen.

The 1950’s to 1970’s were not known for whole food. It was the era of Fruity Pebbles for breakfast, a Tastee cake with lunch, and a dinner made with Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and other canned goods.

IMDB started as an open wikipedia type website where everyone contributed content about movies and actors.

As soon as volunteers had added enough content that it was really useful, the IMDB creators locked out the contributors and sold it.

Someone with no books but watches Angela Collier is more educated than a person with a bookshelf of Danielle Steele.
