If there's a minimum wage, there should also be a maximum wage, but I may be a communist, idk.

Individual's wealth vs minimum wage is not a great comparison. It's showing accumulated wealth of an individual who will over time receive pay raises and build up their wealth.

Minimum wage is what it says the minimum. It's supposed to be entry level income at the time. It should be adjusted for inflation.

To make it more accurate, it should show income increase for ech of the billionaires, and compare it to an income of some median individuals.

Ebooks are less convenient because once you buy and read it you're stuck with it and can't resell.

Books can be had second hand for dirt cheap, too. For ebook you're paying full price.

Because you don't know where this information will end up. Companies often get hacked and the information leaks out.

Your email, address, phone number can be used to spam and scam you.

Other information can be used to make scam you more effectively, or even scam your relatives if they sprinkle enough seemingly private information in it.

Your public photos and videos (tiktok, YouTube) can be used to make a deepfake of you and end up online to blackmail you.

Ask yourself what you have yo gain from sharing information online, and remember that the internet never forgets.

To be fair, Sun is a source of light. Moon, on the other hand...

There's a black Mirror episode where they make a cookie and the make it into the brain of a smart home / assistant of their real self. Don't remember the episode, but a horrific concept considering how they make the cookie comply by essentially torturing it.

We are legion (we are bob)

Yep, happened to me. But instead of "best regards", i usually end with simple "regards" which may have made it worse. I immediately followed up with an email profusely apologizing.

Playing an instrument, like a guitar. It's great being able to play, but it takes time to learn it.

 

For me it's This Week In Google.

I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven't heard yet.

LLMs keep getting better at imitating humans thus for those who don't know how the technology works, it'll seem just like it thinks for itself.

 

Santa Clara, CA — In a move that's already sending shockwaves through the tech industry, Nvidia announced today that it will be rebranding to "Nvidai" to better reflect its integral role in the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.

"We've been at the forefront of AI development for years," said Jensen Huang, CEO of the newly christened Nvidai, in a press conference that featured holographic projections of the company’s latest AI models. "It's only fitting that our name reflects our commitment to this groundbreaking technology. Plus, it sounds cooler."

The change comes as Nvidai continues to dominate the AI hardware market with its state-of-the-art GPUs, which have become essential for training and deploying complex machine learning models. "Frankly, we're tired of people thinking our name is just a clever abbreviation for 'Nifty Video Interface, Duh,'" Huang quipped. "It's time to set the record straight."

Reactions from the tech community have been mixed. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, tweeted, "Great move by Nvidai. Now they just need to change 'GeForce' to 'AIForce' and they'll be set. #brandinggenius." Meanwhile, Intel's CEO was reportedly seen scribbling potential new names for his company, including "IntellAI" and "InteLLigence."

Despite the excitement, the rebranding effort has not been without its challenges. Early reports indicate that the transition has caused some confusion among consumers. One Twitter user lamented, "Just bought a brand new 'Nvidai' graphics card, and now my rig won't stop trying to pass the Turing Test. Send help."

However, Huang remains optimistic. "This is just the beginning," he said, hinting at future product lines that will feature AI-enhanced everything—from gaming experiences that adapt in real-time to your skill level, to AI-powered GPUs that can predict the stock market. "We're not just Nvidia anymore. We're NvidAI. The future is here, and it's got a neural network."

As the company embarks on this new chapter, tech enthusiasts worldwide are left to ponder one pressing question: how do you even pronounce "Nvidai"?

 

I am looking to get a secondhand ThinkPad as my secondary laptop. Im currently undecided between X1 yoga g3, or x280.

I want a lightweight laptop to replace my old t440. I like yoga because it's a convertible and this may be useful to watch movies in tent mode or use it as a tablet to browse internet. My main concern is the power button which I hear is easy to break and impossible to fix.

X280 is more lightweight and compact, but the screen resolution is lower than x1.

Both have soldered ram, so not upgradeable. I would be getting an 8GB laptop as 16gb is hard to find around here. Does cpu make a big difference? I will be installing Fedora on it.

 

Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?

Or do you own one and use for a different purpose, like swimming or Kayaking?
