Maybe they’d prefer “Macroslop”?

I remember pulling an all-nighter to make sure my Internet stayed connected and stable long enough to download Netscape Navigator. I think it was like 18MB. Previous attempts failed, and I didn’t know of any download managers back then

I remember noticing YouTube’s software quality taking a nosedive when they shoved Shorts into the app. At the time, it seemed like it was hastily done as a reaction to TikTok’s explosion, but it’s still a buggy POS , even after all these years.

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about some OpenClaw-like agent doing something like that. Some people are pretty reckless with it

I don’t know about horses, but this can happen to dogs. The condition is called GDV. It happens without warning, and the only options are emergency surgery (gastropexy) or euthanasia.

PSA: A gastropexy is MUCH cheaper when done preventatively vs. on an emergency basis. If you get a puppy that is a deep-chested breed, get a gastropexy when spaying/neutering.

The emergency surgery for my senior retriever mix was $6k+ and a rough (for both of us tbh) recovery. I’ve known others who have lost their beloved dogs to GDV. It sucks

Sure. I was mostly just trying to answer your question and clear up some of the confusion. In all continent models, Canada and the USA are indeed on the same continent 🙂

Oh that was centuries ago. In the US, we’ve even divided states in a similar manner over the years. The Province of Carolina became North Carolina and South Carolina. Dakota Territory -> North and South Dakota. Virginia and… West Virginia (not sure why no “East Virginia”).

I suppose you can say it’s “wrong” on the Internet, but if you tried the six-continent model on a school test in an English-speaking country, it would likely be marked as incorrect.

There are also five- and I think even four-continent models in some cultures. The thought of any of them being “wrong” is really interesting, to me. Personally, I’ve never really thought about any of them as “right” or “wrong”, just cultural differences.

Most English-speaking countries teach the seven-continent model. There is no place named “America,” so when native English speakers omit “The United States of” for brevity, other native English speakers understand that they’re referring to the USA.

It seems to cause some confusion with cultures that are taught the six-continent model (in which there is a continent called “America”). I would guess that it’s because a lot of people are unaware of these cultural differences.

Edit to actually answer your question 😅: In English, Canada is in a continent called “North America”

There’s an extra “.” in your link. Here’s a corrected link for my fellow lazies: AutoEQ

Brazil has a payment system (called Pix, IIRC) that seems to work well, and has survived some… questionable leadership.

I don’t know much about it (maybe a Brazilian can say more about it), but it seems to serve the businesses very well there.

Oh I wasn’t wishing for anything, just pointing out the possibility. There are some Chinese companies gearing up to fill the gap in the memory market. GPUs would be much harder, but maybe very profitable.

Maybe some Chinese manufacturer will find a way to fill the gap in the market

Huh. Apparently a few of them exist. TIL.

Chad looks like orange Epstein

If this is the same story I’m thinking of, she and her partner wanted to be the first vegans to climb to the top, to show the world that vegans can do it. Coincidentally, another vegan actually did it like 1-2 days before their attempt.

This app has to be installed and collected people’s information? Why?

Amazon has them in customer support

The security posture of Moltbook itself is pretty hilarious. For example, the database is (or was — not sure if fixed by now) wide open to the public 😆

Yeah true. I’m assuming (and hoping) that the problems with consumer grade hardware being less accessible will be temporary.

I have wristwatches with significantly higher CPU, memory, and storage specs than my first few computers, while consuming significantly less energy. I think the current state of LLMs is pretty rough but will continue to improve.

Yep, it’s a tool for engineers. People who try to ship vibe-coded slop to production will often eventually need an engineer when things fall apart.
