Then I suppose the question is reduced to how one should select the 5 people! :)

I would suggest getting an ortholinear keyboard. When I first switched to a Kinesis advantage, the FIRST thing I noticed was how many terrible habits I had of hitting a key with the wrong finger (even twisting my hand about, if you can believe that). Having keys in line with actual finger geometry cured that mess up real quick!

Perhaps more important is to have devices start or fall open... if the OEM has lost interest in it, let others support the device. Make ewaste valuable and avoidable.

I assume that is the intended purpose of the wago connector over the hot line.

Even if AI never actually takes someone's job, it's clear that the hype surrounding it can displace workers, and it's use in screening candidates may prevent you from finding another.

Another missed opportunity to bring back the headphone jack.

I hate to make it even weirder, but getting... erm... "unborn"... is not quite the same as being killed. Methinks it would be more like a scifi movie where an alien force absorbs everyone on Earth.

Technically true, proportionally.

Now you can cut your hair and keep it too!

I'm not talking about one-offs and the assessment noise floor, more like: "ChatGPT broke the Turing test" (as is claimed). It used to be something we tried to attain, and now we don't even bother trying to make GPT seem human... we actually train them to say otherwise lest people forget. We figuratively pole-vaulted over the turing test and are now on the other side of it, as if it was a point on a timeline instead of an academic procedure.

Excessive beanage (lemmy.sdf.org)

dalle3 prompt: A hand reaches out of a sea of refried beans, as a person has sunk into them like quicksand.

Mostly as a reaction to these infinite-bean-lovers:

Bonus shoutout to @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world for help with the post title.

 

"Too many" kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not 'countable' as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?
