There are contexts where it makes sense, mostly medicine or science, but even in those contexts it’s deliberately dehumanizing, which is the point. It is also the only English word for a female human that does not imply age, as woman and girl both do.
The quick sniff test: “Males and females”? Clinical, but probably fine. “Men and females”? Fucking Ferengi freak, avoid that guy

“Fuck, why did graphics cards quintuple in price?”
Well I use key-based login for security; obscurity just keeps the network congestion down
I imagine the problem was just as much older microwaves as it was older pacemakers
You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped
The people marketing it have absolutely no understanding of what they’re selling.
Has it ever been any different? Like, I’m not in tech, I build signs for a living, and the people selling our signs have no idea what they’re selling.
How involved was he in the making of any company he’s ‘involved’ in?
As a general rule, not very. Musk doesn’t create shit, he buys shit then profits off of other people’s work
I’ve played Gold and Goblins, it’s a typical idle skinner box; these companies hire the same people casinos do, to design their games to be addictive. It is a gambling addiction, same as if it were actual slot machines

Probably not super efficient, and probably needs multiple steps, but I dunno. Somewhere where the ambient temperature is below freezing, but geothermal is available, it could work at scale, but if you have to refrigerate, you’re probably better off with regular distillation
Seconding SPD, it’s great
What if 37,000 employees sign union cards same day?
If you’re using that real estate as collateral for loans, it needs to maintain its value, or you’ll have to put up more collateral
dunno what Twitter is doing with all those H100s Elon hoarded
Duh. Mining crypto.
It sure crashed its full self
I’ll take the wolves
Regarding point number 2, I have no doubt we’ll be able to develop systems that process visual/video data as well as or better than people. I just know we aren’t there yet, and Tesla certainly isn’t.
I like to come at the argument from the other direction though; humans drive with eyesight because that’s all we have. If I could be equipped with sonar or radar or lidar, of fucking course I’d use it, wouldn’t you?
