Coolness. Gotta narrow it down some tho AC/DC went through like a million drummers.

Definitely the one I would have linked to if I hadn't decided to go with a video that showed the band in it (only a few to chose from with that criteria, the finalists were the one I picked and Otaku). Their drummer kills it on Sentimental Heroine tho, you have good taste Tanuki.

Also a heavier song of theirs: Hanabie - We Love Sweets

 

Fun sidenote: It seems like they might be mocking Babymetal with this song. Babymetal's breakout track was Gimme Chocolate and Hanabie sings the one of the lines from that song as the intro to this one (on top of "We Love Sweets" obviously being a similar title to "Gimme Chocolate"). If I had to guess why Hanabie is taking the piss out of Babymetal it's probably because Hanabie is a real metal band who's members play their own instruments and write their own songs while Babymetal was manufactured and those girls are just Idol singers who don't play their backing music. I mean I could be wrong and maybe the bands are buddies or whatever and it's just playful ribbing (I mean Hanabie did like a comment on the video pointing out the similar titles) I dunno, it could be shots fired, could be having a laugh. Anyway thought that was some interesting possible something going on there.

Your options kinda drop off a cliff once you move beyond Mac, Win, and Linux. The next best option after those is maybe Haiku, it's the open source continuation of BeOS (a Windows competitor in the 90s). But personally I wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver. I'd say just go with the user friendliest version of Linux out there for the least amount of headaches (probably Mint).

Same here. It's why I'm going Linux when MS starts trying to force Win10 users to upgrade.

This show man. Nobody was expecting it to be so good. Still remember watching Fred have the worst bloodless death in the history of live action television. In a show where they know the afterlife is real and good guys go to heaven and some get brought back to life, Fred, the sweetest character, played by the beautiful Amy Acker, has her eternal soul slowly destroyed by and elder god who hollows out and takes up residence in her body for the rest of the show. Illyria was awesome but the implications of having your soul destroyed in the Buffyverse in particular was fuuuuucked up.

It's a ballsy move they're assuming subscription revenue from Game Pass and whatnot will offset the $70 bucks every COD-playing subscriber would have otherwise forked out for the game and then be locked into subscribing until the next COD to not lose access to it. That's forgoing a whole lot of upfront cash on the promise of subs (and the in-game microtransactions). Maybe they think it'll give them some edge in console sales vs PS5 who's users wouldn't be getting that "free" access, trying to get the benefits of making COD XB exclusive without actually making it exclusive (since they can't since they pinky promised not to in the Activision buyout). Sneaky buggers.

Yeah, the search space needs more competition and Google's enshitification of their own services has left a huge opening for someone to disrupt their search dominance. I already use Bing for image searches and DuckDuckGo for a lot of my web searches when Google fails me or I don't want my search for some random thing I'll never need to see again to get interpreted by Google as a new thing to try and advertise to me.

Just based off the one clip I'm curious enough to see the flick. Considering how intriguing the tease is they'd have to drop just an awful trailer to screw up the hype around it.

So like if Nu-Metal fucked Metallica? Sounds like that's what they're going for. Very djenty of them commiting that hard to the worship of the almighty open top string, I dug it.

Eh, I don't mind it. They're efficiently making sure everybody knows that song is still being enjoyed in current day. Eventually that comment will reach peak efficiency when it becomes just a thread of people typing the last two digits of the current year over and over.

Nationwide UBI will likely require a tax on all companies creating or employing AI. Also keep in mind UBI would be replacing welfare and possibly foods stamps creating a massive pool of cash to begin with. A dream scenario would see those funds supplemented even further by a tax on cannabis in conjunction with recreational use being legalized at the federal level.

As for the "life has no meaning without work" argument I just disagree with that completely. First there's the fact that loads of people would still be working even after AI takes over all the knowledge work and even after AI-infused robots take over all the physical work. People would still find meaning in creating art and music despite the fact that AI would also be involved in art and music, people would find meaning in improving themselves physically and mentally. There could be a whole renaissance of people getting back to face-to-face interaction with family and friends given all their free time. People would still want to explore (on Earth, in space and philosophically), science will always have a bleeding edge some folks will want to be on the cusp of. Sports and hobbies, building things there's unlimited potential outside the confines of the wage slavery system we've been shackled to for so long.

Soon enough most knowledge work degrees will be worthless. Personally I'm hoping we can get to this "job-free, UBI for all" future already. Living through the transition is gonna suuuuuck for a lot of people if the usual suspects fight giving people universal basic income while the short-sighted anti-AI luddites keep up with the "AI ain't taking mah jerb!" bullshit at the same time.

Devin AI, though probably vaporware, is still a good proof of concept for these kinds of dev systems and Devin is only running 4 sub-agents. Imagine an AI running hundreds or thousands of sub-agents each handling different aspects of the development pipeline from setting up environments to QA to final commits and go-live and keeping a master list of where in the process the whole thing is. A single human coder could be overseeing the master list to step in and resolve any bottlenecks. After enough learning the human coder could be cut out of the process entirely and only step in at the end to ensure the software is working to spec before launch. It's prolly not completely there yet but it's definitely coming and likely sooner than one would expect.

We'll keep have to deal with hallucinations until/unless they give AI the ability to say "I don't know." Right now models are basically required to give an answer to a prompt and if no true answer exists in their approximation then they just lie/hallucinate the most convincing thing they can calculate because answering, "How should I know?" isn't an option. There's something about the black box nature of how current LLMs formulate replies that makes recognizing when to admit defeat in answering a query a non starter at the moment. It's why a image generator will always return an image no matter how obscure or misunderstood the prompt was. For example I just asked Leonardo.ai for an image of "mipsydoople canarling a jibbymank" and got the attached image which I guess is it taking "canarling" to mean "canary" because failure isn't an option.
