Because it breaks down if we use another example. Would you want to solve a rubik's cube that was pre-turned so there were only 3 flips left to complete the cube? Changing the state of the activity (adding bolts/belays/ladder

Just goes to show you money can't buy everything. Can't buy you being in good enough shape to climb the mountain at the mountain's level.

Why not just install ladders at that point so everybody can join in and climb. Or maybe a ski lift system to the top? Where's the cuttoff? When it becomes personally too hard for you, the tool that assists you is allowed? Someone else&

The bottom line is the mountain didn't have bolts from the get-go. You're still free to climb it, and if you can't; you won't.

I agree with the old school climber's philosophy. It's almost like the old school emphasizes the sense of adventure, and the new school emphasizes the sense of experience via touring (which in my mind are two different things).

Mountain didn't come with the easements at first and it was still possible to summit. It should be possible to do it without them again. The bottom line is anything else besides that is lazy. As the article says, there's many alte

That's a fair point and your comment is good.

It reads like the scandal was only from the first attempt at the free climb, where a bunch of belays and bolts were left behind. He since went back and on attempt 3 was able to free climb the compressor side completely. This was after they

One thing I'm gathering from reading this thread is that the 'spending money' is different than the 'power money.' The 'power money' may not actually exist as it's tied up in valuations. If your compa

So what I'm gathering is the only way they're rich is because they can borrow against these monopoly-level valuations. Actual liquidity makes them essentially another joe schmoe. So people in the finance sector successfully just &

This is getting tangental, but isn't objective reality infinity?; the board which your subjective reality plays on?

Between yours and the parent comment, I'm just surprised how LONG splitting wood takes. A year for a season's wood feels much longer than I would have imagined.

I can't reply to your child comment for whatever reason, but Siri is part of the Apple Foundation Models framework. The idea is that no matter what backend the developer uses, the end user will always say "Hey Siri." This is

Because Siri is the brand and other competitors will dilute the brand with their inferior products, is the line of reasoning, I'm sure. I'm unclear on why apple is branding the AI launcher or whatever if it's just going to be

It's literally a deflection mechanism to the fact they want to build data centers all over the land by proposing a fantastical better way that simply won't work.

It should be a white flag. All the colors, and the fact we embraced it as a flag of unity over a flag of surrender should say all there is to say about us getting over our differences. Edit: From Wikipedia: (A white flag) serves as an inter

But it's not _useful_. A visualizer synthesizes sample rate and PCM signal into visuals, but at least that's marketed as a toy.
