The guns haven't been taken away only because people do care so much about the 2nd amendment. Those people understand that the 2nd amendment is the only ultimate defense for the people against the government. I too wish people also car

You grab the corner to move the corner, not the window. You grab it and move it (the corner), just like the plate.

It is a common myth about these California "droughts." Like anywhere, water fluctuates, but CA is not abnormal in this regard. And really CA has plenty of water, but the people fight for the farmers for it, and the farmers win. Ag

I think this is the actual conclusion: "Now, AI is making them scalable again." That is, the author concluded that AI tools provide viable alternatives to the other available options, and which solve many of their problems.

I think another thing we lost was the sense of a software release being a complete, immutable product - and the development rigor required of that. You might expect now and again to get some optional updates/patches later, but that was

It's exactly these kind of issues with statistics that cause us all kinds of problems. I'm glad you pointed this one out. It reminds me of a YT video I was watching with similar issues about cancer mortality rates. We've been

If it's not painful it's not good. If you're enjoying it you're doing it wrong.

Yes, this is what I'm getting at. I want to KNOW that the function is off, and that nothing can turn it back on except a physical action by me.

I do not really understand what you mean by this. Can you elaborate or clarify what you mean?

"... It is governed by European privacy ..." - This is not inspiring in today's climate. I hope instead it's governed by a principal of people's privacy.

I love the idea of the privacy switch, but I want more: I want a hard, electromechanical switch for each of: Mic, camera, GPS, wifi, cell, bluetooth. These can be tiny and aesthetically pleasing, as long as I can easily flip on/off the

In your example most (not all) libertarians would agree that you need some regulation of those corporations to prevent or minimize external costs, or in some other way factor them in. But the regulations should be as local as possible, and

by Nifty3929 11mo ago
I don't think this is true of libertarianism. Libertarians reject use of force, except to prevent other use of force. I.e. I can use force to stop someone else from using force on me (or others). Corporations are not exempt from this.

"... the appeal of burning it all down and living in a cabin in the woods." I hope that's not what you think libertarianism is about. I'm sure there are libertarians who DO feel that way, but it's not a core tenet t

Nobody is doing it just "for the children" - that's just a fig-leaf justification for doing what many people want anyway: surveillance, tracking, and censorship (of other people, of course - just the bad ones doing/sayin

In the past, and maybe even to this very day - all color printers print hidden watermarks in faint yellow ink to assist with forensic identification of anything printed. Even for things printed in B&W (on a color printer). https:/

Would you leave one of the originals in each test visible at all times (a control) so that I can see the final image(s) that I'm considering and the original image at the same time? I guess if you do that then maybe you don't need

All you said is true - but these investigations are often used for the purpose of determining financial liability and often that comes down to figuring out that one, immediate, proximate thing that caused the accident. A whole bunch of thin

I think the author would agree, and is in fact the point of his post. The only way to solve these problems is using some large hosted platform where they have the resources to constantly be managing these issues. This would solve their prob

Yes, and also numerical "wealth" is not the same as stuff. Rich people often have very high numerical wealth, but actually don't have so much more "stuff" - houses, medicine, food, etc. They will certainly have more

I agree with you, except maybe 'using an SSH tunnel would indeed be "outsmarting the system."' Not sure how you meant that, but I'm sure that using an SSH tunnel to get around VPN restrictions will be determined to

They did not print the prompt. The printed the response verbatim, including the models’s offer to do something else.

Really? - I took away that this does give people the right to use computers and AI technologies. I.e. the government can't ban or encumber those things. But I didn't see the full text in TFA. Can you elaborate a bit on how this do

by Nifty3929 1y ago
"free to" - of course! Everybody is free to do mostly anything. TFA is making the point that, if your goal is to make software that is broadly useful (and maybe that's not your goal), then you should try to make the most comm

I do agree that too often folks are looking for the cool new widget and looking to apply it to every problem, with fancy new "modernized" architectures and such. And Postgres is great for so much. But I think an important point to

Horribly bad, and also bad precedent, but: "The ads experience, though, seems to have improved somewhat from the earlier pilot testing in that users can use their fridge’s settings menu to opt out of seeing ads. If users set their Cove

I was with you until "essentially lying." That's not fair. You can disagree - but calling people liars who express good faith beliefs is uncalled for. Many people genuinely believe that Linux is the better desktop OS. But yea

We live in a temperate climate and installed a heat pump / mini-split system to replace our central AC and furnace and get rid of all the ductwork. It's awesome in many respects and I don't regret it, but it's also MUCH
