I'm not trying to advocate for communism, if that's what you mean. But yes, in a planned economy, there is no incentive for companies to try to spam you. It doesn't mean that it's a better system or that there aren'

It's easy to say that, but it makes me wonder to what extent that's just projecting our culture onto all other possible realities due to a failure of imagination/taking aspects of our culture as immutable laws of nature.

I agree with that, it's inevitable because of people acting selfishly. You could even argue that it might not have happened under other economic systems which do not follow the principle of the profit motive.

It was probably inevitable. It's like regular mail, except sending it is virtually free, so as the internet inched closer to the mainstream over time, this was always going to happen, I think.

maybe you can argue the case that chatgpt is a programmer, but all the human is doing here is making requests and copying and pasting. is a manager a programmer? or, to put it another way, if everyone is a programmer, the word is meaningles

i don't think you're a programmer if you do not at least understand code. it's not elitism, it's just a definition. you don't have to be an expert or even understand it well, but if you're just interacting with

I would love to see a more side by side comparison of specs. 2-3x times the speed pretty good though. The raspi 4 was just on the cusp of being usable as a main computer, I wonder how good this will be.

this is true but it's also worth noting that people who are going to take a moral stance about this kind of thing are not going to last in those positions. this fact does not absolve jerry at all, of course.

I suppose the awkward part of blacklisting is that if a phone isn't immediately reported, someone may sell a stolen part to a repair business, which installs it, and then a week later the customers phone is locked down, through no faul

yeah, I thought it was a bit silly too, and obviously a case of "hindsight is 20/20". "They should have been more careful." They assumed an ID that was static and it turned out not to be. I'm not saying the bug

Another similar anecdote I heard before was related to a wireless device, and some employees flying a drone during their break, generating interference.

didn't later versions of mysql 5 also have utf8mb4? Or did they do something else? I also wonder why mysql wouldn't have had the resources for strict typing by default, I'm fairly ignorant of the complexities involved, but si

You just have to look at how utterly the Harz pine forests have been completely destroyed by the bark beetle to see what monocultures get you. It's just huge swaths of lands filled with nothing but dead trees
