you could enter a question and then it tells you which part of the source text statistically correlates the most with the words you typed; instead of trying to generate new text. That way in a worse case scenario it just points you to a part of the source text that’s irrelevant instead of giving you answers that are subtly wrong or misleading.

Isn’t this what the best search engines were doing before the AI summaries?

The main problem now is the proliferation of AI “sources” that are really just keyword stuffed junk websites that take over the first page of search results. And that’s apparently a difficult or unprofitable problem for the search algorithms to solve.

The description that boiled down to, it squeaks, was really well written.

Also it was released on the perfect date.

Best we can do is drugs on a park bench.

“We’re gonna fuck you in the ass one way or another.”

It’s not going to have funding bribing problems until Trump is out of office.

I’m fixing classic cars now. If they have a computer it’s so old that there’s no danger of ROHS soldering and there aren’t even any programming ports. Just stick a sensor up the tailpipe and adjust some screws.

Is even been better for my back than sitting at a desk was.

Is there gov money in folding proteins though? I assume there’s a lot of 3 letter agencies what want decryption with a lot more funding.

With AI’s propensity for hallucinations, I wouldn’t even remotely trust one of these with my autistic child. The potential for damage, or even just gaslighting are huge.

Or giving Trump an excuse to cash out of his shares.

Old school Mac users huff nitrous from beach balls, the tide pod thing is just iOS users.

Especially if the claim ownership of the Infowars account. They should be added to the debtors for the Sandy Hook families.

Ahh that’s nice, I bought the 2015 right after the Touch Bar pros went in sale because of the “you only need USB c now” ethos.

I later inherited a Touch Bar MacBook Pro, and it has frequent charging problems with USB C.

It’s gonna be time for an upgrade in a couple more years, and it’s nice to know that the new MBPs are sane again.

Was just using a new ROG something something laptop for a job. The power connector is some little rectangle thing and it almost fit in a USBc. I was surprised when it was unique. 1 wire aint happening on that.

Apple brought back the mag charger.

I wish it still had the SD reader and one A port, but it doesn’t really come up that often. Just 3D printing and only because I’m too lazy to set up a octoprint server or whatever.

Fortunately, Firefox still supports old Macs. I have a running 2011 MacBook and 2008 iMac that are both still used for 3D printing and the other for an old local version of accounting software and email respectively.

Roll over, roll over🎶

Yeah there was a lot of really nice design going on at the time. This looks like the discount cases from the early 90s clones.

Thanks to this thread TIL it was one of the few serious competitors to ATTs monopoly.

Southern Pacific Communications and introduction of Sprint

Sprint also traces its roots back to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPR), which was founded in the 1860s as a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company (SPC). The company operated thousands of miles of track as well as telegraph wire that ran along those tracks. In the early 1970s, the company began looking for ways to use its existing communications lines for long-distance calling. This division of the business was named the Southern Pacific Communications Company. By the mid 1970s, SPC was beginning to take business away from AT&T, which held a monopoly at the time. A number of lawsuits between SPC and AT&T took place throughout the 1970s; the majority were decided in favor of increased competition.Prior attempts at offering long-distance voice services had not been approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), although a fax service (called SpeedFAX) was permitted..

In the mid-1970s, SPC held a contest to select a new name for the company. The winning entry was “SPRINT”, an acronym for “Southern Pacific Railroad Internal Networking Telephony”.

Lock picking it open is probably the best choice, or just dragging it away with a stolen Kia.
