We are convinced that the only model for a social media company, or any tech startup, is to be successful long enough to launch successfully on the stock market. When you need to juice your figures you need to promote engagement at any cost, even if that means platforming bigots and criminals.
There are other business models available that aren't predicated on this process. For example, if you don't aim for a floatation you can concentrate on being a business that provides value to it's users rather than it's owners. Then, providing a good service becomes valuable to the business rather than being a liability for the business.

This is about stopping the interruptions that a busy network causes when the server is under load. ATM the code processing a network packet gets interuppted because another package has arrived. That task switch increases the server load without doing anything useful and slows down the processing of both packets.
This fix makes the server code wait until the first packet is processed before picking up packet two when the server is under load.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
No, they aren't.
When ChatGPT summarises, it actually does nothing of the kind.
AI worse than humans in every way at summarising information, government trial finds
"Reviewers told the report’s authors that AI summaries often missed emphasis, nuance and context; included incorrect information or missed relevant information; and sometimes focused on auxiliary points or introduced irrelevant information."
What the fuck are you talking about? UK boys all look distinct do they?
What is it with the pointless gender bollocks, it's young people who all look the same! And half the time you can't tell if they are a boy or a girl!!!
AND I COULDN'T GIVE A FUCK HOW THEY LOOK.
(apologies to bob, I think it works better with all the capitals at the end.)
What's funny is you thinking the Chinese had to get them to move. Sounds like you don't have kids.
