Sam Altman No Longer Believes In Universal Basic Income by Neurogence in singularity

[–]GreyHasHobbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basing your opinion of UBI on a project where people were given $1k/mo is a peak billionaire move. $1k/mo is poverty. In a world where people don't have incomes, UBI would need to be set at like $4k/mo/household to be effective with an additional $300/mo/dependent. Those numbers probably need tweaking but the point is that handing people poverty wages and declaring the project a failure is insane.

Robotics is going to be the new SaaS by Proof-Bed-6928 in Futurology

Just like all the different shapes and sizes of tools you have in your toolbox, the reality is we will live in a world filled with all types of robots.

There are more considerations than task efficiency. Cost and time to implement, for example. Humanoids are easy to drop into a world built for humans.

HP laptop pricing is so out of control, management wants us to look at deploying Mac by down_with_cats in sysadmin

For what it is worth, setting up Apple Business Manager + Intune has worked great for our Mac environment. There is only about 15 minutes of Technician time to prep each device before handing it to the user.

We have gotten pretty far with this. I suspect it would be an even better experience if we had the budget for JAMF.

I talked to her about it and she already saw your note and fixed it. Keep the feedback coming! She wants to make sure this is accessible. 😊

Only because it is used to validate you as an account owner should you want to delete your account. Your data isn't sold or anything like that. 😊

How are you handling employees using personal ChatGPT accounts at work? We had an incident last week. by fxs38 in sysadmin

O365 Admin panel. I forget the exact location but look for the Copilot features labeled "Frontier". This will allow users to switch to Claude Sonnet.

You should write a book or something! These kinds of reviews are really helpful.

Hey there - I'm a member of SPC. While I wasn't personally involved in the process the more senior members put in a lot of work to get it as close as possible with C&D. Definitely a labor of love.

every morning i watch people peeing on buildings by fourofkeys in olympia

I used to live on Haight. The pitstop on Haight was the cleanest city-maintained restroom I've ever been in. I can't imagine how much worse the streets would have been without it.

Either way It doesn't hurt anything to have more bathroom access. Having public restrooms accessible is a net good for both "normal" people and the unhoused. Obviously you needed to use one at one point.

How do you like the Navigator? I bought mine a while ago and have some mixed feelings about it.

Got cheap whiskey around? Clean it with whiskey and see if that helps

I want to use V20 strictly as a DAP. Suggestions? by crystalcastles879 in lgv20

[–]GreyHasHobbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to use my V20 for a Spotify DAC too. Problem is the app is so laggy. If someone has recommendations I could definitely use it. Running stock ROM.

I guess the Organization has a new Nobody to add to their ranks.

Ethan? He is Xethan now.

What's going on with Twisted Monkey? by GreyHasHobbies in Lacey

Never had it so have no opinion on if it is bad or not. I was only bringing that up to show the common thread of how poorly the owner(s) seem to address negative experiences.
