Fcb for me it's ads, ads ads and even more ads. The newsfeed is complete slop from news outlets. It's just extremely noisy. The only thing that I use there is the Messenger because my older friends aren't too savvy with Whatsapp.

And even the Messenger app is a sloppy behemoth of an app with barely working Search. This is coming from a company with thousands of engineers and the core features of the business barely work.

98% of newsfeed is recommendation slop.

What good has Meta even done?

They harm teen mental health with their products and farm user data. What an achievement of youth to waste it on that noble mission.

What an imbecillic thing to say and shamelessly glossed with some autistic idea of maximizing info throughout.

Prose is an art form, reading 100 years of solitude is not the same as reading the news.

Likely scam, rarely does someone have a first name of Jurassic.

I am against this but acting like LinkedIn isn’t basically a database of pictures is naive.

You want to date your pic ends up on a server.

That’s just the way this works.

If this is true: "AI is gonna take everyone’s jobs" then AI is the terminal technology and everyone who doesn't want to be poor forever needs to throw all their money in it.

Of course it impacts company valuation.

Dumb thing to ask tbh.

Dangerous new tech with military applications sounds harder to ignore than AI that spits out text.

Yet the measures taken far exceeded the damage than if we had let the virus take its course.

The problem wasn't the mortality rate, it's the fact that the media can cleverly turn something in a huge deal by talking endlessly about it. During COVID, there was no other news except the virus on news for 24/7.

It is bizarre. C is bizarre, there is no string type and there should've been a string type. scanf is an invitation for buffer overflow attacks. I know how poorly designed languages look like and C despite its strengths is still a poorly designed language.

Why doesn’t the machine fill up the other cache lines as well why is 64 bytes only and then a miss?

C is pretty bizarre but I expect someone writing it professionally to know that even passing void compareStrings(char str1[], char str2[]) is equivalent to compareStrings(char * str1, char * str2) so no way to get the length of it with sizeof(str1) and strlen walks the string until it finds the null terminator.
