The main use for AI that I've seen in my circles is a search engine replacement. Not because AI is a good search engine, but because search engines have largely become useless.

If Mozilla wants to cement their place, create a better search engine. It's how Google came to control a huge portion of the internet, and there's now a huge vacuum waiting for someone to replace what we lost.

As long as you don't use a DE on it, a pi3 is great for experimenting with server software. I still use my 3b for plenty of things.

That doesn't sound like it would work. Ben would continue to treat Beth poorly, and your relationship with him wouldn't improve in any way. Don't ditch your principles for the sake of revenge.

Either distance yourself from Ben, or try to have a serious talk with him. Be the adult in the room.

Who keeps letting the venture capitalists in here? Fuck off with your misunderstood buzz words and leave us in peace.

Turns out most of it is bigger, but still not easily visible (I was definitely one of the people that thought it was giant heaps).

the patch is a widely dispersed area consisting primarily of suspended "fingernail-sized or smaller"—often microscopic—particles in the upper water column known as microplastics.[4]

While microplastics dominate the area by count, 92% of the mass of the patch consists of larger objects. Some of the plastic is over 50 years old, and includes items (and fragments of items) such as "plastic lighters, toothbrushes, water bottles, pens, baby bottles, cell phones, plastic bags, and nurdles".

Anyone can get it if you go find the island of it floating around in the Pacific Ocean (I think?).

Fair enough. But when people find out I've never seen Forest Gump or some other classic, I get the second reaction.

Usually I don't know about my knowledge gaps until someone fills me in, so it's hard to say.

There are a lot of movies that I've never seen that apparently everyone else has seen. I usually just smile and nod when people talk to me as if I've seen whatever they're referencing, it's easier than dealing with the incredulity and making false promises about getting around to seeing it.
