Looks like #business #insolvencies in the #uk have risen 57% in 2022: https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finan.. How on earth people believe the #recession is not coming is simply beyond me.
Not much #discussion on the real #ukrainian #deaths , but this #article apparently suggests 20k #civilians and 100k #soldiers , which would be much higher than #russian #deaths https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. The #eu training 15k or 30k #soldiers is just not going to cut it. The real problem they have is that #ukraine will at some point run out of #men to #train .
#openai appear to have #released " #classifier ", a #tool to #detect uses of #chatgpt https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chat.. Apparently the goal is to help in #academic #misconduct , something we are really struggling with currently. Let's see how it goes.
Apparenty the #newyorktimes have #estimated that 200k #russian #soldiers have #died in #ukraine so far: https://www.zerohedge.com/military/nyt-c.. I bet they are still having trouble #recruiting for this insane objective. Even if it's just 100k, it's seriously #demoralising for them. No #western #modern #war has seen such losses.
Wow, #tiny 11 is a #windows 11 #os #install that uses just 2GB of #ram and 8GB of #disk space: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tiny11.. The crappy thing is that #windows #xp uses to use 64MB of #ram and a comparably small amount of #disk space. It is completely out of control.
And people call me mad for using #vim over something like #vscode https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull.. Looks like #microsoft just fucked over their #extension #developers and #pretended to consider their #feedback . Some #hackernews #comments suggest this should just be expected: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=346.. Sure, use #microsoft #software and get burned.
Again, the #imf is seriously *wrong* https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/imf-.. #inflation is #delta change in #money value, meaning that the current change is living standards is here to stay. The #imf believes there will be #growth - these are the same people who #failed to #predict 2008.
People are #celebrating the #eu missing a #recession far too early: https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/euro.. #germany and #italy, the 1st and 3rd largest #economies in the #eu have #negative #growth ... They are far from out of the woods just yet. I think the #imf are *very* wrong on their #prediction.
The only thing that a #tax break on #ev #cars in the #us will do is further the #wealth #gap between the #poorest and the #richest https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/bid.. This is already on heavily #dilluted #money . The #democrats are screwing over the #poorest #americans .
Really nice #video of #atlas trying to #balance https://youtube.com/watch?v=v4vGGHeYtbg The #movement is super nice!
#google #executive #fired because his #female #boss #droped and tried to have #sex with him: https://www.news.com.au/technology/onlin.. The poor man was just looking after his #family and didn't need her shit. He actually got #fierd for upholding some form of #social #standard .
Wow, #johnsonandjohnson #caught with #asbestos in their #talc #powder https://www.reuters.com/investigates/spe.. A recent #court #ruling suggests they cannot #declare #bankruptcy to get out of it: https://www.wsj.com/articles/j-js-talc-b.. Madness, I remember as a #child using loads of the stuff!
Really cool #story by #stevewozniak of #apple #fame https://web.archive.org/web/201111222025..
This is a #review of the "3D #printed #steak " by #teranceeden #edent https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/01/restaur.. It's #expensive , their #meat eater companion rated it lowly, it's made of #carb foods and will struggle to attain the same #lean #protein . But the #vegetarian who hasn't eaten #meat in a long time though it was okay. I'm not sold on it. I would rather we just put some effort into making #cows and #beef more environmentally friendly ( #seaweed ).
Interesting #article on the #paintpoints and #workarounds for #teaching in #cs https://austinhenley.com/blog/teachingpa.. I can confirm that these exists for #computerscience #lecturers ...
Apperently the M2 #apple #silicon is pretty #battery #efficient https://youtube.com/watch?v=P0h8q6D0s74 It's great that there is someone else in the #cpu space, but terrible that it is #apple ...
