I figure most free AI is free as in free electricity in the coffee shop. You're welcome to use it for small reasonable loads, but try to build anything off of it and you'll soon find yourself barred from the establishment. And tha

Why are novels laid out the way they are? It's almost as though its not as simple as "bad for reading" but rather a feature of the content. imo it highly depends on the medium. If your content is packed with distracting ads,

if your spec fully describes a program, it is at least the length of the source code, and probably longer. It will also be just as difficult to read and understand. You cannot circumvent this with different wording

of course any individual person will want to be paid as much as possible. There is a reason that people protest when their town becomes a tourist destination, despite the seeming money they bring, though. They get locked out of any dream or

imo we're all being treated to a live demonstration of why the pareto principle is stupid. AI agents are excellent at making prototypes, and a lot of people are happy to just stop there (well, I wouldn't say happy. More like can&#

imo its a change in definition. Previously to "ship" was a one-time thing that you did for big, highly verified and checked stuff. Physically shipping your software to your user tends to be done after its a product. Nobody was &qu

I refer you to my comment at the top of this chain on "outsourced" emissions

by RugnirViking 2mo ago
right. I agree with this for a large part - I do think though, that chinas current level per capita 10.81 tons (higher than EU 7.14 tons, less than america 17.34 tons) is not sustanable, and they do not seem to be taking it seriously enough

china's historical total emissions will also surpass the US's pretty soon, on account of their nearly 3x as large population combined with their per capita emissions being nearly as high. and as mentioned, theirs is likely set t

I don't think you get to abdicate responsibilty of some avoidable negative externality of something you do just because some entirely separate function of it is the thing your customers want. If I were a plumber who fixed leaks by dive

Any recommendations for tipping in India? (Amounts etc) I was warned against tipping too much by locals who worried it could distort local economies toward tourists and away from local people.

I agree. it also doesn't imply a direction, same with the propaganda version. It's quite possible you overindex in the other direction! heck I know I do this with some american stuff
