I'm annoyed that this uses "your" instead of "you're" but I'm sure Trump would do the same

In theory a decent QA team will catch things being done by shitty developers. If your dev and QA is shit, management is shit for letting it happen.

I walked by the White House last week and that's actually exactly what's going on. I thought it was kinda nuts that the media isn't covering it

Machine learning has some pretty cool potential in certain areas, especially in the medical field. Unfortunately the predominant use of it now is slop produced by copyright laundering shoved down our throats by every techbro hoping they'll be the next big thing.

She's moving (moved?) to the new district, but constitutionally you only need to live in the same state as the district you represent

Honestly, my biggest issue with LLMs is how they source their training data to create "their own" stuff. A meme calling it a plagiarism machine struck a chord with me. Almost anyone else I'd sympathize with, but fuck Spez.

So? If your invention depends on illegal plagiarism to exist, maybe it shouldn't. It's not the law's fault that LLMs depend on other people's work to function, nor was that its specific target when it was written

Unfortunately, so many local burger joints have a "flagship" burger featuring a Sysco patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion for $17, sides extra.

I hadn't heard that story before. True or not, I'm glad it was there

When I'd search "(location) weather" on Google (e: in Chrome) and I'd get a really nice at a glance forecast right on top. Do the same thing in Firefox and I'd get a whole bunch of weather websites I could go to. The former obviously being a better, more direct experience. I found an extension that fools Google into thinking it's Chrome and all works fine with that.

I'm amazed if this doesn't violate some antitrust regulation

I was in rural India for a friend's wedding. They set up a giant tent pavilion to use as a dining hall, with fans hanging from the top. This was a ways away from the main house, but there were some power lines nearby so they just got power straight from the grid.

Also, day of the wedding, there was a large sound system for the musicians and priest. All the components were plugged into a power strip, which was powered by a couple loose wires stuffed into an outlet

I'm trying to figure out how an election less than a year away means he'll be spending the next 2 years running for president

I get that some instances use the domain + TLD to make a word, like lemm.ee or to an extent, sh.itjust.works. But I've seen so many TLDs I had no idea existed, like .world, .zone, .social, and yes .works as well.

Is there any real reason for that? Trying to look cool or kinda underground-y? Cheaper and more varied domain options? Something actually kinda functional?

Interestingly, I started on vlemmy.net because I was a scared Reddit refugee and the .net TLD gave me comfort. Then it vanished a few days later without a trace. So here I am on lemmy.world
