Also disability in a different environment may be far less of an issue. For example, in microgravity a person missing one or both legs would not have issues with mobility.

I believe there are far greater examples of sociopaths than those who have lost faith in humanity and desire to not prolong the agony of our own self destruction. Hoping an AI destroys humanity and replaces it is a cynical and optimistic vi

I think the current conflict (as evidenced by how headed the discussion is on this thread) is an artifact of copyright law. I do not believe anyone would have any issues with creating forked/adapted/refreshed versions of literary

For example, you might have a laptop with soldered RAM and a discrete GPU. There may be tasks where you don't need the dGPU but could use the extra RAM.

The point in Rust and C# and Java and others is that memory safety is either mandatory or opt-out instead of opt-in. This means you have some guarantees about the whole ecosystem. Of course you can augment a language with libraries. But you

There is absolutely no technical reason this problem could not be solved. It is not a technical issue. It is a human issue. Just like most issues of modern society.

I still think that treating the problem as screen time is the wrong approach. It is too low resolution. What happens on the screen matters. Many parents end up using screen time as a very blunt tool because we simply lack better tools. But

You appear to not have experienced intra-corporate spam. When __everything__ is highly important and #urgent#, nothing is important and urgent.

Indeed, containers and static linking are just hiding the problem. > each software is installed in it's own folder, and the search path for dynamic linking starts in the binary's folder. I think the benefit of this is that an a

That was not my point. I agree that maybe art should not be commercial at all. That maybe there should be only amateurs and hobbyists. And I agree that people will just find work in some other form. My point was that the skill pipeline will

Maybe. But old code does not benefit from them. And new code either has to deal with old code or is often written in a style that does not use them. They are opt-in. More modern languages have certain features enabled by default. They are e

Note, not all blue collar jobs were being threatened. Only the repetitive ones. Same as they have for the previous centuries. Car manufacturing has been automated very much and there was still a need for welders and other skilled workers in

It would probably be much worse because there will probably be much less commonality between jobs. Today a tech job in whatever tech, will at least use the common tools of that tech. AIs allow you to eliminate as much of the supply chain as

But the effect of this is that art will no longer be a viable profession and as a consequence art education will no longer be viable and that even of those who bother to learn the skills somehow they will not get the chance to practice thos

Indeed, over the decades, the field moved from static weak typing (with a few languages being strong) to dynamic weak typing to strong typing with type inference. C has not benefited from any of this progress.

Agree, but with one amendment. Coughing is not necessarily the problem. You can cough without having a respiratory disease, and respiratory disease can transmit without coughing.

The discussion was about wearing a mask when on a plane, not about wearing 24/7. Nobody asked for that so don't straw man it. In some Asian countries it was already common courtesy to wear a mask if you even suspect you might have
