Attached to: YouTube CEO Acknowledges 'AI Slop' Problem, Says Platform Will Curb Low-Quality AI Content
I've seen a recent flood of AI slop channels that use the voices of long dead people like Richard Feynman and Christopher Hitchens to present political news (Hitchens) and science shows (Feynman). The voices are so close to the originals that it's easy to confuse historical content with this slop.

living it in misery is not fucking worth it
If your life is a misery to the point that only drinking can help, then you need to fix the circumstances of your life that're making you miserable, and not with alcohol.

Attached to: Rubio Orders Diplomats To Return To Using Times New Roman Font
I'm probably older than most on /. and grew up reading books and papers that were primarily written in serif fonts, so I find it easier to read material using these fonts.
I certainly have no problem reading stuff in sans serif fonts, but still prefer serif fonts.

Attached to: Was the Airbus A320 Recall Caused By Cosmic Rays?
The number of cosmic rays hitting earth is inversely proportional to solar activity. In years close to solar max, where we are now, the cosmic ray flux is at a minimum.
This happens because increased solar wind at solar max blocks some cosmic ray particles coming from outside the solar system.

It'll be interesting to see how Waymo handles driving in Amsterdam, with all of its semi-chaotic bicycle traffic, if Waymo ever expands to that city.

Attached to: Bose SoundTouch Home Theater Systems Regress Into Dumb Speakers
Time for a law that says that if the manufacturer removes any functionality from a product that was present when it was purchased or originally offered for purchase, any owner of that product is automatically entitled to a refund of 100% of the original purchase price (if they can provide a receipt) or 100% of the initial manufacturer's recommended price (if no receipt is available) upon demand.
Good luck with that. It'll never happen because the manufacturers of these products typically have an industry association that will lobby Congress to get any proposed bill killed. Congress is beholden to corporate interests and couldn't give a shit about consumers.

I think the rise of AI, along with Reddit's often harsh and silly moderation decisions, is going to result in Reddit becoming irrelevant just like Stack Overflow.

One of the two major hardware description languages, VHDL, is based on Ada and it seems to be quite popular in Europe and for defense work. Its syntax is nearly identical to Ada.
