It doesn't matter what you answer, slg will always try to use the way you answered to argue against you, not the substance. This person seems to be only interested in derailing the conversation.

That was openly coordinated beginning with the Montreal Protocol. Those things work top to bottom with international accords in the beginning and don't suddenly pop up left and right inside of much less than a year. Getting a ban on le

Is there a precedent where this happened organically and the same similarities were in place in that many legislations around the world inside of half a year?

by AnonymousPlanet 6mo ago
If it was organic the wording and the definitions in these legislations would be wildly different, the timing would be all over the place, the age limits and the methods to provide ID as well. But they are not. edited for tone

Seeing how surprisingly similar the wording and definitions are in every case, in even far flung societies, can send you a shiver down the spine. It's like someone gained unfettered world wide write access to legislation. It's als

If an American company, let's say a company that writes software for power stations, would use the services of a French or Chinese AI company under such enterprise licenses, how long would you think it would take until someone, in Cong

For actually serious work, it's a stark difference if your proprietary and security relevant code is sent abroad to a foreign, possibly future hostile country, or is sent to some data center around the corner. It doesn't even need

The part about refactoring is very interesting and reassuring. I sometimes think I'm holding it wrong when I end up refactoring most of the agent's code towards our "opinionated" style, even after laying it out in md fil

Clickable paths is the unique feature of iTerm2 I use the most. It's called sematic history, for some reason, and converts a UNIX environment into something like an IDE. I let it trigger a bash script that opens my editor when I click

They had been trying to for decades but were never able to make even remotely competitive combustion engines. Nothing that would get VW, Toyota or Ford in trouble. The article I posted is sadly paywalled, but it's basically about exact

That's the current hope. But do you know who also had consumer trust and design competence? Telefunken, AEG, Braun, Grundig, Blaupunkt, Loewe ... How many products of those brands are produced in Europe today, if at all? None of them h

That is a very popular opinion and I've held it too for a very long time. Until I read an issue [1] of The Economist in 2020 and did some digging afterwards. Turns out, the real moat of any successful car industry so far wasn't br

Just a few examples of what makes Windows 2000 barely usable for me (and pretty much anyone who grew up with later UIs): No central place to search for software, files, or settings. You have to dig through layers of menu trees like an idiot

My experience is less than two years old. I have the impression that those who defend it have a UI taste that is stuck in the 2000s. The same people who also point at UIs that are barely usable and ugly from a modern perspective like Windo

When you have to edit text files on a locked down Windows server that are UTF-8 like everything else in the world and your only tool is notepad.exe, it's the island of pain .

I'm not sure if we should use "gold standard" together with the little piece of garbage that notepad.exe was for most of its existence. It has been the bane for anyone who had to do work on locked down Windows servers and had

This is exactly the kind of ignorant chest thumping arrogance that lead to the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, destabilised the entire region, lead to the rise of IS, and eventually to streams of refugees heading for Europe. edit: tone
