If someone is doing something as a job... then surely they are, by definition, doing it for money? Otherwise, if they were doing it for fun, as a hobby, then we would call them hobbyists?

How would you get different behavior when you have completely decompiled the original binary and recompiled it to wasm? Shouldn't the result have identical behavior?

How useful is this decompiled source code? I had a look and most of the code looks like this: bool fn_80173510(void) { u16* temp_r31 = gmMainLib_8015EDA4(); bool var_r30 = true; int i; if (gmMainLib_8015EDC8()->x5 == 0)

The Taliban was actually very rapidly pushed out of Afghanistan by the US working together with the Northern Alliance. The real problem was that the US couldn't reach into Pakistan to fully end the Taliban for good. Thus the Taliban wa

Human in the loop is infeasible in comms denied areas which is what we have in Ukraine/Russia right now. It's why Ukraine and Russia are now using fully autonomous drones. That's the only real solution to jamming.

My counter argument is that you only need 1% of the population to be bad apples in order to destroy a high trust society. Hell, even a single serial killer on the loose will make a lot of people too afraid to walk alone at night. One or two

Kant also said something similar: If he is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practice kindness towards animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.

If by practicing kindness towards rocks, you become more inclined to act kindly towards other humans, then surely that is a net win.
