I believe lot of "service" jobs are fundamentally make up work. Or not actually productive. Just there because it can be afforded. Or someone decided that it is "needed". Some amount of it produces net negative value. So

Well 40k sell branding to just about anyone who is willing to pay. On other hand I have heard that they are increasing prices on everything physical...

I mean the actual workers. I do not get royalty checks for the building I helped on during one summer. Homeowners don't send monthly money to workers that build their house or renovated it.

>If I spend $20m on building Why don't the builders get infinite royalties on use of that house? Wouldn't that also be reasonable. At least as long as it stands. I don't think that would be unfair comparison.

The real problem is that misuse is not followed by ruinously high penalty. False claims should result in statutory damages of tens thousands per claim. That is the way to prevent misuse.

Also when I think of better end of non-fiction. How many books on certain topic I need? Say ornithology or on birds... Maybe a few at best. Unless I am collector or interested in that specific niche. Which already massively cuts down audien

They are not totally. As such I would give non zero chance of even current AI to be able to socially manipulate a launch after sufficient hype up period... So prolonged campaign might make it possible.

Again comes to use of deterministic. Maybe calling AI varyingly chaotic is more helpful but would also be misunderstood. And I use that in meaning of slight changes in input generating large and somewhat unpredictable changes in output...

Still need to do it after getting those instructions. Not to forget equipment and precursors. I think just getting list of steps won't make it too much easier. Getting it mostly right is quite hard in many cases. And then with trivial

Also how do you compare mostly spherical object to well flat one... Like usable depth of any surface area on earth is not that high. What would size here refer to surface area? Or diameter? Or circumfence?

Teletext was available in analogue times. So I could well imagine there to be a possible avenue of exploits with it too. Would take a bit of time, but I see no reason why wouldn't some data result in a incorrect handling.

I really don't get the big deal with GDRP. Consider what you are storing and why you are storing. Decide if those things align. If they do not, well don't implement that in first place. And I suppose LLMs are perfect for the boile

XT eink. For whatever XT has ever stand for with computers. XT has been around for ages with various meanings. So it is rather tech letters for me.

So many industries to replace. Like maternity wards. Or farms in general. Some people seem to be against replacing wood industry however weirdly.

I feel like that sounds less weird when you really start to think about it. There is lot of chicken being processed. And the margins must not be great and competition between suppliers must be at least somewhat fierce... So there are good u

And I could bet money on that in short time after someone builds that sort of system the next step is to make it worse. Push worse and more expensive options to user. Or at least those from highest bidder... Anyone involved just can't

We have had idea of expert systems for decades at this point. And spend however much on software development. Some how we have failed to reach this in way too many places. Even simplest things like cancelling some service might be broken...

Unless it is subscription based online game I take that buying game is perpetual unrevocable licence. Sadly non-transferable but that is trade-off for digital.

To me that sounds like reasonable structure. I hold that every single edu, gow and mil domains should be moved under respective ccTLDs. After this sort of move that doesn't seem unreasonable thing.

Some of the salted food like meat was so salted that even just dragging it in sea water on ships was effective way to lower salt content. So it was definitely cooked most often boiled to remove most of salt content. I think we largely have

Like with bit IT projects I think simple truth is that projects have grown too large for anyone but select handful to sell them as service. So even if you remember bad experience from past 3 you go back to the 4th each single time.

Some countries in EU do some don't. I think only ingredients and Energy, fat, carbohydrates and sugar; proteins and salt is mandatory.

In some cases I might argue that difference could well be plating. Put a smoothie like cold soup on a plate and you have a soup. Maybe we need to also first define smoothie.

by Ekaros 1mo ago
As non-soup eater I am strongly against use of term soup here. Surely soup also should be relatively strongly defined. And not used as adjective for wet. Clearly soups must have some water content level. Otherwise too many things would be s

Fundamentally someone at some point needs to pay for them. And this should mean by actual end customer payments. Now to get size of those payments and how much collectively needs to be spend start to look to me rather questionable. It is bi

Fundamentally with travel there is less of a moat and less of critical mass than with say food delivery or taxi services. Customers have plenty of time to browse and look for alternatives. So competing in the market with price or service is

My biggest contention is the acquiring price for such use. I hold that for such use the cost such be significantly higher than just if you were buying book for reading.

I am against renewals. It is just additional layer of complication. Having to look up and track possibly poorly informed state of work is unnecessary extra step. Straight up x years from identified release year of edition you have on hand i
