Taxation shouldn't be used to curb habits, that's what laws are for.

Just imagine a capable individual just like yourself, but with such a rotting core that they see the same devious plans you and I do, but lack the backbone/principles and moral/ethical fiber to prevent them from pursuing those ide

God forbid a passion project stay just a passion project. You don't see this monetization perspective in the hobbyist 3D printing community or airbrushing communities. This is directly a result of how much OSS is framed as a "ti

Just be careful with how aligned to reality your simulation is. When you get it exactly right, it's no longer just a simulation.

I for one, love it. I want every single mega corporation using crappy AI to the point where we can identify and not buy their products. Leave the little guys alone, they don't print money yet; so have not much choice.

This seems preferable. Wasting tokens on tools when a standardized, reliable interface to those tools should be all that's required. The magic of LLMs is that they can understand the latent space of a problem and infer a mostly accura

So you would rather be incompetent than powerless? Choice of third party vendor on client facing services is still on you, so maybe you prefer your incompetence be more direct and tangible? Even still, you should have policies in place to

Hey, sometimes the dumbest people it works on are also the ones with the decision making ability. What a world to live in.

When I was a kid, I had one video game and played it all the way through. When the system was emulated and access to every single game ever created became available, I lost interest.

I find myself rhyming the number in my head in a specific way that’s a little goofy but memorable. Just image how radio announcers say phone numbers and you have an idea. More remembering the rhythm than the digits.

Ordered 2, one was fine, other required a reflash to resolve a black screen. Worked fine across a variety of SBCs and desktops since. Security is not top priority very obviously, but for a quick kvm on a system without bmc, it’s fine. Pic

Many people don’t understand that government power MUST be limited in a democracy if you wish to slow the spread of tyranny. Assume you live in a country 50/50 red and blue people. Red wins the election and the new leader cracks down

I think it’s not lack of innovation. They’re just innovating in the wrong direction.

I have no feeling in the top of my mouth after a “successful” deviated septum operation when I was a teenager. I was told it would resolve, it never did. I can’t go outside in mildly brisk weather without a tissue as it’s a constant stream

Maybe it “looked away” to give its creation a bit of free will unconstrained by its own awesome deterministic power.

Writing your Java code on an IDE, you just sat by while the interpreter did all the work on the generated byte code and corresponding assembly. You merely watched the tools do the work.

“If our work continues to succeed as it has, heat will become a far less onerous constraint in CMOS and other electronics too.” When it matures, you’re right back to the same heat constraint considerations, just with faster chips.

With the blatant disregard for any rules and decorum, and a proven self-serving track record, I wouldn’t bet on it. You want to censor in the armed forces? Classify. You don’t tell reporters they can’t publish anything unapproved. Tomorr

I view advertising as a toxin you can’t build natural immunity to vs a venom that can be acclimated to. Lead, not capsaicin. Advertising is profitable due to subconscious connections manifesting to conscious judgements shifting. You can n

For the record, I have managed to limit advertising for tykes to near 0. Young enough where control over electronics is viable. As soon as a game pops up, the only unfiltered ad exposure basically, and it’s glue. The bright colors, the su

A jail has 3 meals a day and a bed. Without knowing it, most people would be fine living out their days in jail until you show them the outside world. Its not a big deal until it expands and expands.

Are you serious? While not as powerful as root access, your user rights are almost completely gone. You buy a $1,000 phone and $1,000 on a service plan which is not an insignificant amount of money for many, then take away every semblance o
