It's a gaint hypothetical, that we will have AGI and AGI is according to 'them' equal to a human. So you don't need a programmer or an accountant or much else with soft work. there will still be 'hard' work till we figure out how robots can do this for us. then these fags are on the chopping block. This is assuming we will get there and they aren't watering down the meaning. To have AGI by 2030.
We don't have the energy for that type of scaling.

everything is still planned via the same old crusty ms excel sheets

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

It will. Even now with most companies it's almost impossible to get to speak to a human. "Please log into our website for help."
Endless layers of "for Y press 1, for X press 2".
Followed by, "speak clearly into the phone about what you calling is about". It used to be that you could not press or say anything and it would just put you through to actual people, but now some companies will just disconnect you.
If you do get an option of actually speaking to someone it's, "you are in position 32 in the queue," followed by someone who can barley speak.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

68k, Z80, PDP-11, VAX, S/370, and all the other processors people actually used were CISC too. The CISC philosophy makes more sense because the idea is that complicated parts should be done by the hardware, which makes software simpler and run faster. Look at some of the instructions z/Architecture (modern version of S/360 mainframes) has. IBM put those instructions in there because it's faster than doing it in software. Even a lot of RISCs have memory move instructions now, when in the 80s and 90s those would automatically make a processor CISC.

A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.
Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."
After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.
I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.
With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.
Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.
So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.
Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.

Referrer header only contains the one previous website you came from. It cannot see the whole chain.
There is intentionally no browser API that allows for this.
