The thing to keep in mind is that you will always feel too old for something. When you're 18 you're too old to play, when you're 25 you're too old to party like a teenager, etc. But there's always something fun you

Yes but this question was specifically about “the arts”, which is pretty unambiguous.

I'm not saying there aren't rules in literature, poetry, painting or whatever. But can you imagine any temperaments more different than that of the typical programmer, and that of the typical artist? I started out as a mathematici

The question is not about "art" as in τέχνη, then you might consider it an art. The question was about "the arts", and that means something else, it's the same "art" as in "artistic". Painting, w

Unless your mother got the computer in order to code json parsers or similar, how is this related to the questions? Nobody doubts that computers can be used to make art, the question was if programming was an art.

by Grustaf 5y ago
Because it's probably the least artistic endevour you can imagine. You're 100% governed by rules. Programmers and artists are polar opposites on the temperament scale.

We are not discussing if shipyards should build ships for billionaires, obviously there's nothing wrong with that.

Not quite. Picasso had actual, one-in-a-billion talent. Most people know someone that could have drawn the Bored Apes better. Not to mention the artificial nature of NFT “scarcity” or the physical aspect. If you buy a Picasso you buy someth

Well ok, it seems the scandals were bigger and more spectacular back then, but maybe not. Thanks for the link, very entertaining!

And obviously it's "his fault" if he agrees to it, knowing it will happen. How could it possibly not be "his fault"? Blame can be shared you know. If I order a lion skin knowing that someone will kill a lion to prov

Clearly you are missing my point. I am not saying it's bad economics. And yes, a wind turbine would be seen as a less frivolous reason to take down the bridge. Do you really not understand that most people are more sympathetic towards

Reminds me of the good old days when exchanges got hacked (or "hacked") every other day, with hundreds of millions stolen.

I don't know about no one, but I think the city council is the biggest culprit. But he can still be an entitled buffoon. Rich people will always try to get their way, that is not new or surprising. But that is precisely why we have law

Most people on the internet are "random", but I wish more people cared about our built heritage. It is being sacrificed all the time to the highest bidder. Mostly entirely legally and profitably, but it's still a great shame.

enlyth's mother did say she rolled the stop sign, so unless she's lying, it's clearly a justified fine. I wouldn't hesitate to break traffic rules at 4 o'clock in the morning if there was zero risk of harm - especia

Obviously if Bezos didn't know it's not his fault. Then it's only the city's fault. That's a pretty strange retort, if that's what it is.
587.
by Grustaf 5y ago
I didn't even mention Bezos. My point is that it's a bad look for everyone involved, regardless of the legality or financial considerations. It says "anything is for sale". Which of course is exactly what America is all

It's also entirely legal to pay someone to lick your boots clean, but I would still consider a person vile that did that. I don't know to what extent any original parts of the bridge will get replaced etc, but even if it is 100% r

Well obviously not, then people wouldn’t spend it on nfts.

Except few people would spend 6 figures on lotteries, but 10000 people own bored apes. Yes, a lot of them didn't buy them at that price, but they are keeping them, which is actually the same thing.

It's theoretically true, but Tether at least don't seem to be doing that. They don't even claim to be backed by more than a few percent of cash, and they have never been audited. Imagine a multidecacorn startup that never had

How much would it have cost you to use those applications if you had to offset the ad revenue? 10 bucks a year? 50? Do you really value your attention that low?

That's a very odd reason to contest a fine. Clearly it was justified.

by Grustaf 5y ago
I'm saying that this is not correct at all. There is no lack of data, but it's very very difficult to make a robot that can autonomously manipulate things well enough to repair things. It's not lacking data, it's about p

by Grustaf 5y ago
Why would a robot need AR at all? And the challenge with building a repair robot is not to provide it with information about the item, it's in understanding the information and physically manipulating the item.

100% agree, I hate smart cars, touchscreens, beeping all the time for inscrutable reasons and taking over the steering wheel when you cross a line on the highway without using the indicators. As soon as I can afford it, I'm getting one
