Meh, I would have killed the drone ATC project, too. Drones are cool and very capable but the opportunity is only a parallel to AWS if you mold it a specific way. I think Amazon has probably seen from first hand experience that drone traffi

Free without commercial restrictions? With a real open source license?

I’m not even claiming that the “abused” are correct to be upset. The core of my claim is that it’s a shady business tactic because the purpose of it is to gain all the marketing benefits of open source on the front-end (fast user growth, un

I’m not even claiming that people who feel thar feel that a social contract has been violated are correct. I’m saying that the open source rug pull is at this point a known business tactic that is essentially a psychological dark pattern us

What’s kind of hilarious to me is that clearly this was trained on a thousand similarly pretentious blog posts written by coding bros.

I am on the side of believing this for the most part. Ultimately the most likely scenario is whoever made this contributor AI is trying to get attention for themselves. Unless the full source/prompt code of it is shown, we really can’t

This isn’t about people working for free. Nobody sensible is upset when a true FOSS “working for free” person hangs up their boots and calls it quits. The issue here is that these are commercial products that abuse the FOSS ideals to run a

I could imagine that, but I haven’t witnessed that. What I’ve witnessed is a very conventional client/server web application that runs in a very conventional hosting scheme where best practice security IAM controls are still appl

Of course, the issue is still that this is all science fiction. In this present moment we only see the power consumption of AI systems rising dramatically. The underlying silicon chips have slowed in progress dramatically. Moore’s Law is de

I have owned a diesel passenger vehicle, if that makes me sound more qualified ;-) I didn't realize we were talking about this level of heavy equipment, this level of remoteness (e.g., you're basically playing SnowRunner in real l

We are in this discussion sometimes talking about things that are "missing" from Mac that are actually outdated omissions, no longer accurate. For example, Snap Layouts is now a built-in feature in macOS, but some folks are talkin

Then why don’t you imagine that and tell me instead of just making a comment that says “nuh uh!” I submit the idea that even if the AI can electronically secure the building, lock the doors, and has automatic defensive weapons, humans can p

The administrative state worked extremely well before Trump dismantled it. Do you really want Congress to use legislation to make decisions about day to day technical rules and regulations that they quite obviously have no chance of underst

I think the idea that vehicles with emissions controls are inherently less reliable in any statistically meaningful way is highly suspect. In addition, the most common failure points of vehicles are usually not related to the engine being u

How do computers in a data center stop humans from rolling up with the keys to the building and turning off the power?

This sounds sensible in isolation, but the real analogy is that the drug dealers have spent billions of dollars convincing the general public that drugs are healthy and better than the alternative of sobriety. And also, when I go to the st

Well, that’s stupid. It’s not admirable to die young. My grandma lived 96 years of a happy, healthy, enriching life. She got her college degree at age 60. She had a beaming smile when she played with her great grandchildren. She enjoyed the

Why does everyone in this thread keep talking about bucket crabs like they’re in some kind of groupthink cult? I don’t know what the fuck anyone means by bucket crabs. Living in space is essentially like living in the ocean with all the sam

Batteries also solve the intermittency problem, for less money, and their materials are essentially 100% recyclable. Solar+batteries together are already cheaper than any other form of grid scale electricity production. Entire islands wit

Meanwhile, Boston Dynamics robots are doing gymnastics routines and speaking in human language using LLMs. I wonder what they’ll be doing in 10 years. I’m not particularly worried about a labor crunch long term. Labor availability is more d

I’ll buy your argument for the sake of it. We are killing two orders of magnitude of cost. $14 per kg to get something to space. Well, right now a gallon of gasoline all-in after extraction, refinement, transportation, and taxes retails for

Please don’t confuse disagreement with discussion in bad faith. I promise you I’m making a serious argument. It has consequence because trade exists. The Western world imports and exports goods to Africa. If the West loses population it doe

Are we reading the same verse? I read it and it doesn’t seem relevant at all. It almost looks like the commenter pasted the wrong book/chapter/verse.

I'm pretty sure it's just an honor system similar to a lot of similar software. Corporations tend to self-comply because they don't want to risk failed audits and lawsuits.

The global total fertility rate is already just above your stated ideal rate of 2.1, it's currently at 2.35, so I am really confused at why the comment I originally responded to thought we should all shack up and fuck during the pandem

I'd love to hear about your economical plan to extract resources and populate the rest of the solar system. It currently costs approximately $4,000 per kg to transport anything into space, that's current bargain basement SpaceX pr

No? That's the opposite. Christian logic dictates that we don't have to care about societal collapse, because it's prophesied and it's actually a good thing because that's when believers are raptured into heaven. Th

Dude, you just blew my mind. Your code is under a commercial license? I'm not sure you realize this, but that nullifies your blog post's purpose of existence. Why would any reader care about your AI contribution policies if your c

So your plan is endless growth? When is the population high enough to stop doing that? How is that supposed to work logistically? In what scenario does that not result in societal collapse within a short few lifetimes? Endless growth and th

I have to push back on this because you’re basically saying that old people visibly existing killed your vibe, and that jaywalking made you think less of the place. Heck, in a country with top-tier public housing (17th most affordable housi
