McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream
  • That's the joke. Nearly every proposed implementation of AI isn't actually solving a real business or tech problem. It's just the next snake oil, like block chain, quantum computing, etc. There are real, valid use cases for all of those things. But most companies have no idea what they really are, how they might help, and even if they could help, what it would take to implement to see real results.

  • This house in between two runways at Narita International Airport in Tokyo
  • It's not just the lead you'd have to worry about. Commercial jets spew all kinds of nasty shit, and there's also the significant amount of particulates in the air from the tires. It's just not safe nor healthy to live that close to an airport, lead or no lead.

    Also, I would absolutely not eat the produce from those farms, which according to TFA, they're still producing and selling locally.

  • NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense
  • It reminds me of how tech companies are all scrambling to use AI. There was a funny article recently where the author pointed out that these companies are struggling to do very basic things, so the idea that they could somehow tackle AI in a way that's useful and profitable is silly.

    Here's the article, very entertaining and worth the read.

  • Disney told L.A. residents to move to Florida for a planned campus. They did, it was canceled and now they're suing
  • It's crazy when you think about it. They picked up their lives, sold their homes in southern california, and moved to fucking central florida of all places. It's such a massive, massive downgrade in every conceivable category to move from socal to central florida. Then to have the company that mandated this (probably under threat of termination) pull a bait-and-switch once the employees and their families had moved, I'd be lawyering up and suing too. I'd sue them to make me whole -- put me back in the same neighborhood I left, in a same or better house (with the same or better loan amount and terms), and offset any losses (with interest) related to moving, my spouse's loss of job and income, provide equivalent income and job placement for my spouse until they find an equal or better job, and guarantee my employment at current job and comp for the next 10 years (with a sparkling golden parachute if they terminate me earlier).

  • California achieves incredible new milestone with its power supply: 'It is the new reality'
  • Cool. Now can the local power companies (in cahoots with CPUC) stop changing the rules that make it less and less economically viable for people to have solar on our roofs? Every year they add bigger fees and pay tinier amounts for power generation. The ROI on solar is now measured in decades. And they're doing it on purpose.

  • Ditto for 'Game of Thrones'
  • The only explicit doubt it my head is that you're not intentionally trying to be cryptic. Are you under some sort of NDA with the show? If not, then just say it, friend. We have spoiler tags here at lemmy if that's your concern.

    EDIT: Wait, do you mean Viserys? If so, I think I'm still confused. Why would his death sap someone of enjoyment? I'm genuinely asking.

  • Patch Preview From Twinbeard
  • Amen brother. I only play at helldive difficulty. I think it's a sort of weird paradox where common and rare samples aren't important enough to get, and helldive means you need to constantly be on the move and sticking with your teammates. So there's no time and no incentive to just wander around the map for samples.

  • Adults and teens pick dumbphones to curb social media addiction
  • This is what I don't get. Just don't use social media on your phone. I don't have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. on my phone. But the camera, maps, music and audiobooks, email, calendar, digital wallet, etc. are invaluable to me. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

  • D.C. ethics board recommends Rudy Giuliani be disbarred
  • Encouraging cleanliness is not the point at all. The point is: "... policing methods that target minor crimes, such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking and fare evasion, help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. " Source.

    In the specific case that OP is referring to with Giuliani and NYC: "Bratton directed the police to more strictly enforce laws against subway fare evasion, public drinking, public urination, and graffiti."

  • Witch Hunt
  • That's literally what it would have done. "Second Civil War" would be a response to the overthrowing of democracy. If they took the VP and held a gun to the rest of congress to keep Trump in power, then democracy is over at that point. The ensuing civil war would be a fight to restore it.

  • CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information
  • Just imagine the average reddit, twitter, facebook, and instagram content. Then realize that half of that content is dumber than that. That's half of what these AI models use to learn. The "smarter" half is probably filled with sarcasm, inside jokes, and other types of innuendo that the AI at this stage has no chance of understanding correctly.

  • Witch Hunt
  • They came really, really close. Completely failed would have looked much different; e.g. not making it up the steps of the building. In reality, they were this close to taking the VP, and one door away from members of Congress hiding under desks.

  • Mushroom ID
  • This is the same reason that you never touch something that looks like a carrot plant in the wild

    That's funny. I was just thinking to myself "Fuck all this mushroom noise. I'll just stick to eating carrots, no way to mistake those for something else." I guess I'll die quickly in the coming apocalypse.

  • Thoughts on a case and active cooling for a Raspberry Pi 5 with an M2 HAT (or any HAT, really)

    I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight into a good case design with heat sinks and a fan that also accommodates a HAT, such as the new M2 HAT. I'd love to run a Pi 5 with M2 SSD inside a case with a fan plugged into the PWM port. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Ideally it would look something like this, but be large enough for the HAT and somehow incorporate good fan placement for airflow.

    This looks like an interesting solution to my question. It mounts underneath the pi, which means things like heat sinks and a PWM-powered fan would work fine. As long as there's a case that fits this type of setup, it looks like it would work great!
