This seems like an odd conclusion to draw. I'm married with a full head of hair and I couldn't tell you whether or not any woman has ever been interested because I'm not paying attention nor am I trying to draw it.

Yeah in context I'm Australian where turn signals are orange as well. The US is wild in terms of its commitment to "maybe the brake lights are faulty" style.

I mean oddly enough being a Youtuber I would say is not a bullshit job. The demand for entertainment is both genuine and necessary for our well being: soldiers in war play card games and see shows, since ages past the role of entertainer

This annoys me whenever I'm on the road. The issue is unnecessary latency: the signal wastes time going from off to on by being substantially less bright then it should be. If you want to add cutesy features then have the turn signal a

Its not pressure to release the source code. Its that they need to release the server so anyone can run it. From Day 1 any Doom client could be a multiplayer server and this is how it worked for almost all games - Descent, Quake, C&C et

Suddenly then all at once has been a common pattern for me too. Its liberating to have the experience to know that once you're done with something you won't miss it's absence.

Its also the absolute assurance that we're all going to get screwed by a big crash circa 2028.

Within certain bounds git behaves quite nicely with a directory of bare git repos and Syncthing.

AI is absurdly, massively centralized though. You don't own it. You can't own it. Access can be removed at any time. This situation may not persist but it's not like traditional pillars of society have demonstrated any incent

Its just stochastic terrorism is the thing. Betting markets on a a negative outcome are ginning up a big "you could make money if the bad thing actually happens" and over enough scale you'll get that idea into the head of som

It also substantially changes the definition of who's an insider. Polymarket has bets for random things like a particular word being used by an announcer. Suddenly the announcer is an insider on that bet.

Technically speaking the long numbered problem is solved with QR codes though. You want to be sure it's a particular person the you need to establish in-person trust.

12 hours on a plane is 12 hours on a plane. And there's currently no amount of ticket money that can make that shorter.

The F-35 would've been used to take out the air defenses and cheaper munitions used for everything else. Which is exactly what it was used for in Iran.

This feels like assigning intent where economics is more correct: your priority is your children, but if you have three then by necessity you didn't multiply your attention or time in proportion. Even going from one child to two.. sudd

Google cloud backup has never done this for me. It seems like it'll restore a whole lot of stuff, but details like getting my Nova Launcher screen back (version pinned to before it was sold - alternatives just aren't good enough y

They don't work well in my experience. What I want is to get my home screen back exactly as I left it: I've not found anything able to pull it off on Android though. Ideally it would be an exact flash image of the phone.

Its a lot easier to commit to spending billions of dollars in a hypothetical then reality.

China wants a sovereign DRAM capacity. They're playing an entirely different game then the commercial suppliers in the West.

Its a nontrivial exercise to design a plane which can regularly do more Gs then that though. There's no drones currently in development AFAIK with this goal either - the focus is on getting them to do useful mission without a pilot, ra

Loyal wingman aircraft would have to be stealthy though to do it. The whole point of the F-35 is that it is a stealthy platform with a very advanced set of targeting and weapons capabilities: but the issue is a similar capability drone woul

My understanding is there's a very - superficially weird - sort of logic at play with this though. Basically if we're going to take a child not presently abandoned or in danger, and place them with someone, we need to know damn we

That's software engineer "I'll simplify it!" logic and the score of it's successes is far too low for how common it is. If a design with a bunch of modifications works, then it's a good design. Thinking you nee

There's plenty of finicky systems which go on to be good systems with a lot of work. Some things are just hard, a lot of the time you just don't see them being hard so publicly.

This is the part the AI advocates don't seem to get. There's nothing to learn with AI: each new model is better then the last. Requires less input to achieve a workable result. The advocacy has always felt like cope to me and you

No the thesis of cash is that it's a legally enforced means to extinguish debts within a certain legal jurisdiction. A court cannot generally find that I must furnish someone with some weight of gold for example but they can find a mon

At that point you've just reinvented Kerberos tickets really...

"might as well call God" is a bizzare conclusion for the latter though because "God" is far from an abstract concept - it's probably one of the most heavily loaded terms in every human culture.
