And consumers will find a better method of getting their product, probably without all the garbage drm. Piracy universally helps everyone, including the company. The worse the drm gets, the more money they lose and thats about it.

Weve got a bootstraps mentality in the US. Its not worth helping others because 1. No one would help you and 2. Because youre putting yourself at risk by trying to be a good samaritan.

Nah, it wasnt anything truly revolutionary. It was just some weird impedence effect we didnt fully understand how it was utilizing. AI doesnt really produce NEW stuff, but its really good at taking advantage of physics weve already worked out. Its not going to design a NEW chip, but it can pretty easily optimize existing chips or design a “new” layout that might be more efficient.

Whats your bad fairy doing?

Do this is ALMOST an actual thing. Seems like this guy tried to use an LLM to do something useful, lol. Meanwhile actual scientists are using actual AI to design actual conputer chips that actually perform better than their human competitors. That being said, the new chips are not “end-to-end” AI, theyre designed by AI and a human does the final touches. Theyre also highly unique, i cant find the article now but their AI designed a chip that seemed to use extra parts, i remember there was a diode and transistor that were literally completely seperated from the traces of the rest of the chip, and yet they were functional pieces and the chip wouldnt work if you removed them.

I cant get people to pay me enough to live here, how can i rely on charity/people willing to pay me elsewhere? Literally i have no issue working, I just want to make enough money to survive

I believe the preamble was when we elected a pedo, and then news came out that, SURRPISE! He’s a pedo.

Nah, that image and the edit are over 10 years old.

Took a ton of searching but yeah

I mean yes, I agree, but on the other hand teasing is a commonly accepted form of bonding. If youre dating someone, presumably you have the skills to communicate your boundaries and what you are and are not comfortable with. As such, if this is a problem, it will presumably be hashed out. If not, then you are getting up in arms over a non issue, and that would seem to be indicitive of you having some personal issues that you might want to work out.

This isnt to put you down or a gotcha, im genuinely concerned that this impacts you so heavily and am open to discussing it in pms if youd like.

This is an edited photo jsyk

I was listening to the song when i made the meme, its really ups the oof factor for me

Holy shit how did i fuck that up, you guys are being too gentle! I appreciate it lol

Every microwave can be silenced. Sometimes it requires a soldering iron.

Does your stove not have a clock? They’re fairly standard now

Wasn’t trying to be disrespectful, just gotta be safe online :) I really did appreciate the disclaimer, I should’ve added it.

I have been informed this is a crime. I quite frankly am shocked and appalled at my suggestion. Unfortunately my fingers are cramping quite hard so I don’t know if I’ll be able to remove or edit my post, it’s quite tragic.

To your last statement, the answer is always yes lol. Admittedly, without despining it your going to have difficulties scanning in the text closest to the middle of the book, but any knowledge or media being archived is amazing.

Damn, turns out the only one willing to bomb Israel is isreal

Looking at pictures when trying to read is absurdly distracting, I wouldn’t recommend just taking pictures. Instead, you can use a tool to convert a photo into a pdf document. It rips the text from the photo and types it for you. That enables you to just upload the text, which makes for a much smaller file size while having higher quality for the things that matter. But it’s still very involved, you will definitely want to proofread the entire PDF to ensure it didn’t make any errors.

Unlike that other guy, I think the less valuable a book is the more it needs to be digitized. An incredibly valuable book will be stored in a museum, and will likely be digitized if it needs to be and is capable of being. Whereas there are millions of books that don’t get many copies and no one thinks to digitize them because they’re not “important”. That results in immeasurable amounts of lost media. Plus, if the book is cheap, then there shouldn’t be any issue getting a second copy just to tear off the spine and scan it in, right?

Also worth noting, if the book is valuable and you do tear off the spine, there are a ton of places you can send the papers to and they’ll make you a custom spine for the book and rebind it for you.
