Aside from coding assistants, the other use case I’ve come across recently is sentiment analysis of large datasets from free text survey responses. Just started exploring it so not sure how well it works yet, but the ridiculous amount of bias I see introduced in manual reviews is just awful. A machine can potentially be less inclined to try fitting summaries to the VP’s presupposed opinion than some lackie interns or self serving consultancy.

How dare you besmirch the good name of zip disks! There was a good 18 month period in the nineties where they filled a valid use case in the gap between floppy disks and the widespread instantiation of WAN solutions for moving and storing data.

ITT: Lemmy’s biggest circle-jerk to date.

Half socialism, half complaining about capitalism, half linux, and half startrek memes.

Although, now that I think about it, the linux and startrek halves are often just a part of the socialism half.

So, I guess the original point stands. Socialism all the way down.

Thank you. I’d seen the original but not the redemption. Nail biter, all the way.

You are my spirit animal.

Well, I’m proud of you, Internet stranger.

It is sad how many “is just the latest” I read before I figured out what was going on.

Pretty obscure term. Don’t beat yourself up.

Unironically, Bluey.

Best show on television. Fight me.

Computing features dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

When I first read your comment about this scheme keeping money from artists I was skeptical. But, yup! It is right there on Spotify’s website:

We distribute the net revenue from Premium subscription fees and ads to rightsholders.

Now, granted a bunch of those “rightsholders” are likely big corporate record labels but your point stands. The little guy is getting screwed, too.

Though, adding to your final thought, I bet if it was only the little guy getting screwed and not the corpos I bet DOJ wouldn’t have cared.

Is there an app to meet dates like this?

See: Rufus, Amazon’s chatbot. I’ve never seen a more useless application of electrons. If it isn’t already in the description then it can’t help you.

If it is already in the description I don’t need your shitty chatbot, Jeffrey.

My guess is you’re one of the 10% or so who didn’t give up in frustration. My % assumption might be off, but assuming any percentage of people gave up and walked away without costing Amazon a dime the system was working perfectly.

I wonder if this type of economic calculus would mean a supply of inexpensive, second-hand panels might be available in the next few years.
