Are bone-conductive headphones any good? Being able to listen to stuff while having full hearing sounds pretty appealing
What are the good brands for this shit?
>>107847030bone conduction is a bit of a snake oil situation. it doesn't work anywhere near as effectively as people tend to picture it when you explain the concept. human bone just isn't that conductive for sound. the waves are dampened by flesh and blood. shorter wavelengths travel further -- this is why it's easier to hear high pitch noises from a distance than bass frequencies. "bone conduction" does kiiiiinda conduct sound through bone but really most of what your actually hearing is just being projected into your ear canal from the speaker over the air. bass gets lost entirely.
>>107848687there are no good bone conduction headphones. they're all just kinda shit.

>>107848723Yeah and (they) said this about this epic find, in my uncle Earl's attic. >16/59Yeah baby, the grail. Don't believe the hype. Bone conduction is the future. We MUST free our zygomatic bones.

>>107844684Funny you mention that, I switched from a calculator like that to the Ti, and preferred the new one. Both are solid non graphing options, but I remember this one being even more limited. It put a smaller limit on amount of things one could input in long integrals, and while I can't vouch for this since it was many years ago but I remember it having less features than the 30xPro. Plus, this is subjective, But I dislike the flat pancake designs of these cassio's, they feel flimsy. And for them to be thin the buttons are thinner as well. The latter's pill shaped and bigger indents felt more comfortable and secure to me.But, this was like early high school, I then later used the 30xPro for all of that and then college, there is a bias.

>>107847398damn, this exact thing happened to me when I was 26. Entire house was empty cuz parents were moving except my room, and they came in looking at me from that exact angle while I was on my computer that I have to be out by the next day. Put my computer in my car and drove across the country to sleep on someone's couch who I met in an IRC room lol.Never got that 6 figure coding job, probably blue collar til I die at this point
>>107847013I just got messaged by a recruiter for a database developer job that I applied to months ago, the problem is I was using AI for my resume/cover letter and I’m pretty sure I exaggerated my skill level. Now that I’m looking at the job description I realize that I’m pretty out of my depth for this position, and the only experience I have in web development. Should I even bother taking this interview if I know I’m probably gonna bomb the technical round?

>Oh fuck yeah I'm going to install Bazzite straight away to run my favorite containers!! I'm literally so excited to run containers you guys, containers are my favorite software to use, God I fucking love containers.Why is this a selling point for an operating system? Who is actually outright ENTHUSED about containers when they could just be running regular bloat-free software?
>>107848668Nice fukken phone sized screenshot niggerfaggot
>>107848668> Who is actually outright ENTHUSED about containers when they could just be running regular bloat-free software?I am. My work PC uses a standard non-atomic Linux distro, and I'm the only one who uses it. My gaming PC with bazzite is in my living room, and I'm not the only one who uses it. My fiancee uses it to watch her shows and occasionally play video games. My younger sister regularly uses it to watch streams and YouTube videos, and every once in a while play emulated GameCube and PS2 games from our childhood. I like that the distro is user friendly and unlikely to accidentally break if a non-tech savvy user wants to also use it.
>>107848704Do your fiancee and sister know or care what containerization is? If not, why is this jargon on the front page of the website? Imagine going back to 2003 and telling Windows XP users about the virtues of containers; you'd sound insane because you in fact WOULD be insane. Given that Bazzite is supposed to be a just werks distro, their marketing language is a total mismatch; talk to me like I'm a Windows XP user circa 2003, because that's the exact sort of person who'd eventually grow disillusioned with Windows and switch to Linux.

I have a budget of less than $300, what's the best laptop I can get?
I have been converted. After going through so much bullshit to get Windows 11 configured the way I want it, I experimented with Linux Mint on an external hard drive and I have to say it’s been amazing. I think we have finally hit an inflection point where the effort to install, customize and use Linux Mint is now less than installing Windows 11 IoT LTSC and running the debloating scripts/reinstalling default apps, and it’s a better experience.Open source software has also matured to the point that I have found sufficient alternatives for ALL of my windows programs including Paint.NET with the recent Pinta update.Once I customize the look and feel of Cinnamon/Firefox a bit more I will probably be switching to Linux full time. After years of retarded bugs, obvious features not being implemented, dogshit communities, etc. I think Linux finally made it.
>>107848601>we have finally hit an inflection point where the effort to install, customize and use Linux Mint is now less than installing Windowswhat year is it, 2015?the only reason to stay on windows is the same as it has been for decades, the lack of some big proprietary corpo bloatware support like CAD, Adobe, some niche shit. the alternatives either don't exist or are different in various minor ways that the normongroid brain can't get over
>>107848601>Open source software has also matured to the point that I have found sufficient alternatives for ALL of my windows programsBeen this way for 10+ years now. You late cunts being late just created the tech dystopia and it's ogre now.

how true is this
>>107848445Do you want an actual argument against what you were saying? Here's an actual argument against it.> If you have more demand than you can supply then obviously you invest your revenue in building more factories to scale up productionOpenAI has a current market capitalization of over 50 times it's annual revenue. In simple terms, if they were to need to make their current stock liquid via revenue, it would take them over 50 years to do so. That isn't accounting for them just committing to 1.4 trillion dollars of hardware over the next 5 years, when they can't even break 20 billion in revenue. There is absolutely no future in which selling tokens (which they currently do at a loss, and will do at a loss for at minimum the next 5 years if their current publications are to be believed), will cover the astronomical expenditures they've committed to. If this company were operating in literally any other industry, they would likely be getting their insides reamed out by the FTC. The only reason they aren't is because our current government genuinely seems to believe the scam and are afraid we will "lose the arms race to China" if they don't go all in and cut all the guard rails.
>>107848470That's... a surprisingly strong and well informed argument. Thanks.Digging into the weeds, I think that if their market cap growth slowed to a more precedented 2x per year https://epoch.ai/gradient-updates/openai-is-projecting-unprecedented-revenue-growthand revenue continued to grow at 3x per yearhttps://epoch.ai/data-insights/openai-revenuethen the 50 year figure would look more like 20 years by 2029.I admit these are very risky bets, but events like the Industrial Revolution do happen from time to time. It's not impossible that the best placed company is able to pull this off, but you're right that if the bet fails then it will do systemic damage to the economy.
>>107848589I don't think "AI will fail" because LLM's, diffusion models and transformers have no future purpose in society. I think there is quite likely to be a niche in which OpenAI could see reliable success, especially in relatively low-risk tasks these LLM's are already pretty good at (translation of non-critical documents, automated customer service chat bots, summarization of non-critical documents where it's okay if it sometimes gets things wrong). OpenAI clearly has a product which does offer some value to people and I have no doubt their product will improve over time and adoption will increase. My problem with them is that they are behaving like scam artists. They are spending other people's money left and right while promising the world and delivering far less. They are promising the gateway to super intelligence and problem solving capacities that are beyond human comprehension. This could happen (if it does, I have my doubts LLM's will be the ticket), but I don't think we should be betting the farm on it. I don't think Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg or whatever that Microsoft Indian CEO is named have acted in ways which warrant our society trusting them to spend trillions of dollars that don't exist to purchase hardware and build out datacenters for a product and customer base that simply doesn't exist yet. It doesn't even have a roadmap towards existing yet.
>>107848660>It doesn't even have a roadmap towards existing yet.The roadmap is "we keep making the neural networks bigger until they reach a similar scale to the human brain, and keep improving the training so that it outputs text/image/video/audio/action tokens that are as good as average humans and then as good as the best humans".Ten years ago, if presented with that roadmap, you could say "there's no way that will work even slightly", and lots of smart people would have agreed with you.Now, though, the skeptical case is "yes, that has worked reliably for the past 5 years, and yes people have been saying in each of those years that scaling had reached its limit in that year, and yes those people were wrong every time, but I'm sure that *this* year I've correctly identified the point on the scaling curve where the trend suddenly breaks. There's just something about this particular point, coincidentally just before human level multimodal capability, that can't be passed, unlike all the other false barriers in the past".

>>107846382OLED has the best colours and blacks because each individual pixel can turn off, but will rot away within 3-5 yearsminiLED attempts to mimic OLED blacks by instead turning off 1000+ separate backlights, it's pretty good except if you're displaying like lots of tiny bright objects on a black background and then the (comparatively) low resolution of the backlight becomes visible as small areas around each bright object are lit up. The actual display technology used varies (IPS, TN, VA etc.)LED is just a type of lightbulb technology (often used in backlights), not a monitor typeIPS has probably the best colours outside of OLED but is known for very bright blacksVA has darker blacks than IPS but worse viewing angles (important for a massive monitor) and is known for worse motion blurTN is one of the oldest LCD types, its main drawbacks are less accurate colours and also terrible viewing angles, but nowadays the colours are mostly fine, for a long time it also had an absolute advantage in speed and response times and nowadays only OLED really comes close (e.g. 500Hz+ monitors are either TN or OLED)

>Steven Bartlett, the founder and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, took a chance on an applicant with a virtually blank CV for that very reason.>“I hired someone who’s CV was two lines. Their experience was zero,” Bartlett explained in a recent LinkedIn post. “Much of the reason why I gave her the job was because: She thanked the security guard by name on the way into the building.”>“When she didn’t know something, in the interview she said ‘I don’t know that yet, but here’s how I’d figure it out,’” Bartlett explained. “After the interview she went and self-taught herself the answer she didn’t know, and emailed it to me within hours.”>The founder took a chance on the experience-less candidate, and it didn’t take long to pay off; Bartlett said that six months later, she has proved herself as one of the best hires he’s ever made. “Fifteen years of hiring has taught me that culture fit and character is MUCH harder to hire than experience, skills or education.” https://fortune.com/2026/01/08/diary-of-a-ceo-founder-steven-bartlett-hired-someone-zero-work-experience-thanked-security-guard-before-interview/
