Well i am not against immigration or foreigners. Even a dumbest racist must understand that with TFR being <2.0, a country must have immigration or it will eventually collapse. There's no denying that immigration is necessary, both

I think it wasn't much of a thing in the first place. Glorified shareware.

Which means more of the business will work through obscurity - concealing the fact what it does, or that it in fact exists.

I come from Soviet Union. I know what i'm talking about. I lost family members to Bolshevik repressions in multiple generations and so did my wife's family.

Well, after WWII, America saved the world from the spectre of Communism, firstly by blunt threat of total nuclear annihilation (which was sadly never put in practice when it could be), then when it became impossible, by continuous overt and

Well, we all live in a peaceful, cooperative and interconnected world order which is created and maintained by America. Look at those suffering in the countries they can't control - only thing those poor souls are concerned with is how

Human trainers. There are tens of thousands of people doing it full time for AI companies. Their mode of work isn't much dissimilar from answering SO questions. Just in a closed manner.

These days, offensive first strike doesn't need to be nuclear at all. Nuclear will work even worse than conventional (because airborne debris from nondestructive previous nuclear hits may wreck subsequent incoming warheads).

What's really scary about it? What happens if US actually attacks baddies and wins the war? It might sound like an impossible task; but it's not. Defences are mainly to augment the first strike, that is, to counter the (relatively

I'm sure it will go in the worst way possible: demand for code will not expand at nearly the same rate in which coding productivity will increase, and vast majority of coders will become permanently jobless, the rest will become dispos

Indeed, i know a lot of people who made lots and lots of money in several independent ways over and over, but none of them ever did it in "startup" way. Those are always one-off. Everything else is way more repeatable.

I am wondering if Starlink users can't compensate for it themselves by transmitting a GPS signal using some SDR device locally, just putting in correct coordinates from Google Maps into it? GPS signals are at 1.5GHz which is easily acc

27 is the age beyond which one can't pass for a teen icon anymore, and those who can't reinvent themselves in any other way see that they are facing the end.

There are plenty of other indicators pointing at the same thing. TL;DR: it's not AI, it's Fed rate. Jobs that depend on bullshit machines that are fed by freshly printed dollars, evaporated when rates went up.

Why not just keep prompts for say 6 months and punish users (they can all be identified because they pay for subscription) if they ask it to generate something illegal? I believe that the system should be punished only if the prompts did no

Why did SO traffic halve from it's maximum till the ChatGPT release date? Also, for a long time after initial release, ChatGPT was pretty much useless for coding questions. It only became more or less useful ~2 years ago. So there&#x27

But in the end of the day, Arab spring worked just fine everywhere? In every single country where pro-Russian dictators were in power, they fell (Iran is not pro-Russian, just a potent enemy by itself, and is not Arab for that matter). Exce

Even if not, a photo editor is usually nonfree and/or is a pain in the ass to download and install.

My experience is that yes, vibe-coding allows to find out quickly what works - but then a real person is put onto implementing it properly and only then it becomes a PR for other people to see.

Of course one should never mix fiat and crypto.

That's exactly what i meant. "Replacement" is about "number of people who abandoned gas-powered 2-wheelers", not about "number of people who started using e-bikes", and the former number is a lot lot lower

by anovikov 10mo ago
That is incorrect because those e-bikes did not replace actual gas-powered motorcycles or mopeds. Most of them are owned by people who never owned a gas-powered 2-wheeler, let alone a car. They represent new demand, not replacement, thus di

"Share of cars on the road" is meaningless because old cars that are almost never used, are very slow to write off. So percentage of EVs "on the road" is well below percentage of actual miles driven in them.

But this is like stock buybacks right? Reduces supply -> prices go up. Maybe that's the whole point of doing it. NIMBY votes squeezed through a palatably sounding way to funnel taxpayer dollars straight into their pockets.

I would argue that the Next Big Thing of today is GLP-1. It changed the world, and continues to do so, and the change is truly revolutionary, and it is recent (not a recent invention - smartphones were also invented in 1990s - but recent ma
