Not sure what you're trying to say and I'm not going to click your random link. I was saying that in addition to the now-hilarious claim that US Right communities are based on morals, the US Left description was also incorrect fro

I'm not sure what part of "the safety net goes away if you have the living wage" you don't understand. The living wage is the wage that you need. Because you're not getting any "transfers" from safety ne

A lot of the safety net also goes poof if you have the living wage. So I'm not sure exactly how your argument works. Are you saying the minimum wage should be under the poverty wage and everyone with that wage should depend on safety n

Not to mention flat out bs on the other side regarding "equality" being best over "freedom from power abuse and inequality." This "information" was misinformation 15 years ago. Not so beautiful.

I think you missed the point. Proving something is optimal, is a much higher bar than just knowing how the hell the algorithm gets from inputs to outputs in a reasonable way. Even concurrent systems and algorithm bounds under input distribu

by daveguy 8mo ago
No. Algorithm analysis is much more sophisticated and well defined than that. Most algorithms are deterministic, and it is relatively straightforward to identify complexity, O(). Even nondeterministic algorithms we can evaluate asymptotic p

Independent audits aren't arbitrary. They're the standard by which you can tell whether an organization is lying about their finances. Double entry accounting and receipts makes it pretty difficult to fake especially when the clai

Yup. That's it. Because people are realizing crypto isn't worth the effort to support malware authors, money launderers, and North Korea's nuclear program. And if you didn't know that's what you're supporting w

You're right. I should have said, Republicans stopped pretending to support libertarian values when they started supporting Trump. At least they used to pretend they were for libertarian values.

Yup. Sometimes that bumblefuck bumbles into something good.

Most of what I see are toys. Could you point us to the examples of production software from AI? I feel like I see more "stop spamming us with AI slop" stories from open source than production software from AI. Would love some conc

I was agreeing it could last a very long time, even longer that copyright. But specifically because it is not copyright. But as an AI model, it just won't have value for very long. Models are dated within a 6 months and obsolete in 2 y

The recipe of coke is not a copyright, it is a trade secret. Trade secrets can remain indefinitely if you can keep it secret. Copyrights are "open" by their nature.
