There was a time when I was in favor of this idea - helping the terminally ill die with dignity seemed like a compassionate idea. Perhaps it still is. My problem with assisted suicide is not that it's giving terminally ill people a way

If you're stuck for days without food, water or electricity, who do you want running to the rescue - the guy with a helicopter, or the bureaucrat with a rule book?

The terms "retro" and "vintage" are a sliding window. In 20 years, computers from the 1990's and 2000's will be retro. There's also practical matters like price, availability and size - older computers fro

While I believe the real estate issue to be part of the reason, I think there's also an aspect of control involved. WFH leads to increased personal autonomy and agency. Having too many high agency individuals is bad for the existing he

No doubt the FAA is under enormous pressure from Boeing, Blue Origin and ULA to slow things down for SpaceX.

You can vote your way into a CoC but you need to fork your way out. When Codes of Conduct were first introduced, they sounded like a benign concept. But now it's becoming increasing clear that they're the Trojan horse that allows

Seems highly entitled and irresponsible. Sure, student loans have become somewhat predatory, but sticking honest, hardworking taxpayers with debt you acquired through poor decisions and planning doesn't feel like the right way to remed

Not just a little better, a lot better. iirc, a lot of the devs who left Stable Diffusion went on to found/join Black Forest Labs.

Sam Altman can ensure the democratization of AI by immediately halting all attempts at regulatory capture and ceasing his attempts to use government regulation to stifle all competition.

They had a long time to think of a clever rebuttal. Hopefully it was a good one.

It's not that the title is hyperbolic, it's that expectations were so low that even modest growth is a headline making event. I'm going to reserve judgement for a while longer and stay cautiously optimistic. The Argentinians

Could be that Tesla is reaching market saturation - nearly everyone that wants one, now has one. I just bought out the lease on my Model X and previously owned a Model S prior to that. Both are great cars.

But they aren't protesting, they're vandalising one of the UK's most historic archaeological sites - and that's a crime. Previously, they've also vandalised historic and priceless works of art among other things. Th

I'm not saying it's the ideal solution, but it is a solution. What punishment would you suggest that would be equally or more effective? I think your minimisation of their crimes only serves to perpetuate the problem. Indeed, th

If there were ever a good argument for bringing back corporal punishment, surely Just Stop Oil is making it.

Part of me thinks this was always a publicity stunt - he never expected the rocket to succeed. And now that the possibilty of it succeeding looks increasingly likely, he's backing out. SpaceX's timelines have always been highly op

The contacts list and job board are useful. The feed is utter trash and is dragging the rest of the platform down.

When a government fears its citizens, it is a democracy. When the citizens fear the government, it is a tyranny. Stop building the chains that will be used to enslave you.

Shame on Amazon for providing jobs to poor people. Best not to worry too much about it, in a few years they'll be replaced by robots.

As a paid user, it would have been nice to see something that differentiates that investment from the free tier. The tech demos are cool and all - but I'm primarily interested in the correctness and speed of ChatGPT and how well it ali

Doesn't this topic come up every five years or so? Isn't it always a big nothing-burger? Numbers can be deceiving - and we are great at fooling ourselves. I'll reserve my interest for actual photographic evidence.
