All the tech solutions have failed. Who do I vote for to stop it?

Peer review specifically checks that what is being said passes scrutiny by experts in the field, so it is very much about what is being said.

It’s finally enough for me at least. I’m skipping windows 11 and going to Linux instead.

The meaning of words is central to the meaning of the article. If the meaning of religion is devolved to “very interested in” then the meaning of the article is “people are very interested in their phones” which is a quite boring article. Y

Non hierarchical collaboration is the option you are excluding. Where you accept pushback and feedback because you know it comes with creative vision and perspective you lack. You can do creative things with other creative people.

Not a physicist, but here is my understanding of the cosmology physics: High energy can spontaneously form matter antimatter pairs. In the early universe, the heat of the universe was very high, so this was common, constantly happening. The

Certainly you won’t be saved in the US, where things like consumer protections are quickly becoming a thing of the past. And the US has traditionally exported its business practices to the world.

Hmm, maybe you could zipbomb the data? Aka, you send a few kilobytes of compressed data that expands to many gigabytes on client side?

I think the collapse might take place in the shape of something like china: self interested elites, self sabotaging economic policy, a hollowing out economically by outside powers, numerous failed rebellions and devolution of central power

I am sure the Rust community would welcome feedback from blind developers about their error messages. Accessibility is a good thing.

Can I request that they not use AI when evaluating my application, and expect them to respect my wishes? Highly doubtful. Respect is a 2-way street. This is not a collaboration, but a hierarchical mandate in one direction, for protecting th

The executive branch having the power of selective enforcement and pardon generally seems like it might have an impact on the relevance of any supposed authority.

Facebook is rapidly moving away from effective communication. AI slop, AI posters, and algorithmic preferences for decisiveness over local community with engagement farming algorithms. If the communication medium you use is turning toxic, i

X or Facebook isn’t “us”. If we had any reason to believe there were or were even likely to be strong effective democratic controls over their ability to manipulate public sentiment it might be different. But as it stands, it feels more lik

Punishing people with more work doesn’t make sense in a well run organization. Work is continuous and more work only affects the backlog, not the actual developer’s life or experience.

I don’t really care what is in Elons heart. The lesson learned is the same regardless: ignore the nonsense gadgetbahns dreamed up by business people and focus on the real proven technologies in use already around to world.

Doesn’t address the point. Does everyone get a good faith exception from laws they don’t know or misunderstand, or just the police?

You can map objects to db updates, and map query results to objects. Neither of those objects needs to have a mapping to actual relations, like how ORMs insist on.

I’ve tested my dreaded mosquito tastiness. I always count bites after a hike and compare to others. No one ever comes close.

I don’t know. My understanding though is that RT Linux adds predicability at the cost of throughput. For games where CPU throughput isn’t important (like an action game where most of the work is pushed off onto the GPU) this would maybe hel

I doubt they wanna run an RT kernel in SteamOS. There are severe costs to doing so.

All transactions are publicly visible, so everyone would know that it was now possible for someone to take bitcoins from people. Value depends on resale. Why would anyone ever buy a bitcoin or accept payment with them if they can just disap

How would insufficient ability to make more dangerous planes kill anyone? By what mechanism? Who, for example? What are you even talking about?

Someone has to pay for distribution, maintenance, and integrations of the encryption on an ongoing basis. If it was legal to write encryption but illegal to distribute it, what would be the difference from a ban? Both tor and cryptography r

You can call a low entropy point in the past whatever you want. If it’s talking to you or cares about you personally somehow then yeah, I would consider it equally delusional to reptile people.

Notably, though, unlike an aether, none of those things have a measurable rest frame.

Does the function know it’s called foo for tracing/error logging/etc?

Companies that want bailouts, if they are of national interest, should get those in exchange for partial ownership. When private ownership fails, national funds should come with national controls.

You certainly could try. But don’t expect experts in the field to bother to do any of the legwork for you, and that includes learning about all the evidence that your model has to account for to be remotely as good as our existing ones.

Agreed. The haiku is “18th century art” as that’s when it was first invented. So it’s either a uselessly broad category, or an indefensibly Eurocentric one.
