They won the prize for an AI they made in the early 2000s.

I can’t tell if you’ve totally understood what I meant or are trying to make a joke. For the record I meant egg soaked bread with no sugar or cream would probably be really gross. I do eat plain eggs, but this would be the first time that I’ve heard about savory French toast if that’s what you meant.

I didn’t say it was finished. I said people had won a Nobel prize for having done it. It takes decades to win a Nobel prize. My point was that it had been done years and years ago, not recently.

Watson beat Ken Jennings over a decade ago. Protein folding was already done too, the people who did it even won a Nobel prize for it a couple years ago.

LLMs being the most visible part of AI after over 75 years of AI, isn’t because they’re the biggest or latest or greatest or whatever, it’s marketing. Plain and simple marketing.

I think we might be splitting hairs on what counts as a custard at this point. But I suppose as a Canadian you are slightly more French adjacent than I am.

Yeah, I’ve never seen French toast served dry. Personally I like to add peanut butter as well as syrup.

American style French toast is scrambled egg and some form of cream or milk and vanilla, which is basically a custard.

Just egg by itself would be super gross I suspect.

Idiocracy is what happens after now. We have to finish hitting rock bottom first.

It’s the mustache. He was 33 here.

When cable TV first came out it didn’t have ads because you were paying for the service. When Sirius satellite radio came out it didn’t have ads because you were paying for the service. When Netflix streaming came…

Adding ads to YouTube was always the plan.

I had a book once that had a full color spread for the movie in the middle of the book. Obviously this was a skippable ad, but still, it’s inescapable.

You are required to sign up for the selective service as a penis haver at 18 so I genuinely have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

The draft wasn’t ditched. The selective service has been active for decades, it isn’t supposed to be left active unless somebody is going to use the draft.

Sure, but my point was more they still currently sell devices with less than 4GB of RAM so it seems reasonable to foresee people still using them in 2 1/2 years.

Last time i checked they still sell a RPi with less than 4GB of ram.

This was pretty much my introduction to Weird Al. My friend had gotten Running with Scissors and I was young enough that the idea of parody was still new to me and this was amazing and life changing. I remember the disc had built in interactive features if you put it in a computer (similar to a primitive Flash website) and there were some behind the scenes stuff you could watch.

Yes and no. Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, and like Fedora there are both workstation and server editions. The relationship is similar to RHEL being the LTS of Fedora but not quite the same. A lot of governments and enterprises that have switched to Linux for workstations are using RHEL.

My wife and I were watching a really old The Price is Right recently, and they didn’t know what one of the words of the prize name meant. I don’t remember what the word was now as it was specific to that artist, it was a type of lithograph. But they kind of shrugged their shoulders and moved on. Then like 30 minutes later in the show they were like oh hey, we called this professor at UCLA and asked what this meant and it’s a type of lithograph. I remember my wife and I were just like holy crap the days before the Internet…

They have really long noodle cafes in China where they regularly serve noodles in the 20 meter range. In fact, China even has the world record.

Fun fact: The connector is called a DE-15, VGA is just the protocol using it in this application.

I mean… you have been able to do things like that for a long time. You used to be able to use cable toners to listen to conversations on analog phone lines for instance.
