>I don’t believe republicans or democrats are inherently better people Then you aren't paying attention to what the Republican party stands for. Moral relativism has limits, and the Republican party now regularly acts with malice.

Kind of silly to ask Stability AI to block offensive use of Stable Diffusion. It's not like they have any control over what models people load into their own instances of it. The base model that they distribute is pretty clean, but eve

This is really neat. I'll need to check it out. A couple years ago I ran my own instance of Magnetico ( https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico ), but this project looks a lot more polished.

Sleeping is not seen as lazy in Japan. You are correct that sleeping is viewed as the consequence of working hard. Public sleeping is common in Japan.

OP forgot to put (2008) at the end of this. Today's standard isn't "CD Quality" anymore. There is literally no audible difference between MP3 320kbps, which covers the complete range of human hearing up to 22kHz and FLAC

Is that your standard? So long as they own the same domain name, you won't notice any change of ownership, rebranding, or degradation of service? I guess MySpace and Digg are just as healthy as they've always been. Domain names ar

Very brave to show us that ugly brown bed generated from the prompt "pink bed".

Okay, yeah, living near friends is good, but the philosophy behind this project seems broken. First of all, why would I use an app or a website for this specifically? I already know where my friends live, and they aren't all friends wi

From my reading of the DMA, I would suspect that gatekeeping software development only to users who pay for Apple's hardware and software licenses would not be allowed. I imagine they can still keep things locked down, but they will ha

I have great news for you: The hyperbolic nonsense you just described will literally never happen.

Nobody is forcing anyone to use third-party app stores. The EU is just forcing Apple not to engage in anti-competitive practices. If you want the security of an all-Apple ecosystem, you will still be free to do so. If I want the freedom to

I mean, yes, as we have already agreed, anything is possible, but I'm not in the business of believing things without evidence.

You may be onto something, but we should really draw the line between personal property, and private property more than citizenship. We shouldn't have a problem letting a non-citizen buy a home in the USA, so long as they hold some sor

Seattle really is the perfect example. I love living here, but I can only afford to own real estate in the suburbs. But, the moment I buy something in the suburbs, I'll either have to buy a car, or take 3+ busses to get anywhere I want

You mean to tell me that the generation that championed the defunding of all of our financial and social safety nets are suddenly reaping what they sowed? It's still awful, and we need to fix this, but forgive me if I lack some sympath

There have been exhaustive third party reviews of the Linux kernel, nothing is impossible, but a government backdoor would be extremely hard to hide from the level of scrutiny that codebase is put under. I would certainly consider it unlike

No, lol. They don't. Maybe Windows, because Microsoft doesn't seem to care much about privacy, but Apple doesn't mess around. And if there were backdoors in Linux, we'd definitely know about it, because people are active

I have never met anyone on the left that isn't disgusted by the sexual abuse of minors. Just the perfectly rational acknowledgement that the sexual abuse of women is a more widespread problem. Child sex abuse is more common that it eve

For someone who respects the scientific method, you seem awfully dismissive of peer review... So what if Milgrom and Zimbardo's studies in conformity already happened? We don't run an experiment once and stick with the results for

I agree with you that we shouldn't wait to upgrade until after we are facing constraints, but the current state of home networking is so robust that we're absolutely nowhere close to the pipe being full. I am in no way opposed to

The only thing that Wi-Fi 7 might solve right now is powerful local and ad-hoc data transfers. 48gbps would allow for SSD-like speeds over the air. On a home network, you could back up your entire laptop in a few minutes to a NAS. With ad-h

Okay, so I've had some fun with this. It is true that ChatGPT will be very resistant to give you directions to take a duck home from the park, but it will eventually do it if you ask the right way. And if you ask for a duck recipe imme

It makes sense to me. Microsoft has long fought against open source licensing, even going as far as to call it a "cancer". They may have, over the past decade, embraced a lot of open source software out of necessity, but their sta

Given your example of a company unwittingly adding GPL code to their proprietary code base, I have trouble seeing how Microsoft can offer to take liability for such an infringement. The GPL requires that any software based off of it be GPL

This is selfishness bordering on psychopathy. Just because you'll be dead doesn't mean you should be complacent about things that will fuck over future generations.

I'm pretty sure they're enforcing an existing rule, it's just that people weren't aware that urls booked from the Google Search app would get stored somewhere else that was sharable, and ended up getting flagged. It does

It's also fundamentally irrational to define malicious non-state actions as acts of war. As an example, if someone from Canada were to come to the US and blow up a government building, no matter how severe the damage and human loss, we

The problem is that there is an observable pattern of people betting all of their social capital on social media, and forming pathological connections to the people that interact with their posts the most. A lot of people have allowed socia
