I overuse the bowline. Never seizes, and it can be tied with one hand around your body (or anything else) very quickly. I think that method was originally taught to me in scouts as an emergency body lift thing, though it would not actuall

Having to promise to make titles available on Playstation to satisfy regulators kinda blows that strategy up.

I assume a bunch of them print pretty reliably, like Call of Duty, when you're not using them as a loss leader on an expensive subscription that nobody wants.

It absolutely became a problem for consumers.

Yup. I absolutely want the metaverse. Just not a cartoon Facebook one.

I'm no Mozart, but I find it really fucking weird when we act like woodworking is artful and creating software isn't.

At some point the broad strokes of libertarianism became exactly what we expected. Naked corruption and public harm, without consequences.

My spidey sense goes off when we refer to open weight models from Chinese companies trained against frontier models as OSS... as if it was some Torvalds types maintaining a public git repo. I think those open weight models exist because o

You were right to call that out. We need to identify the real shape of the problem.

I'm using a 64GB M4 Mac Mini. They pulled them a month or two ago, right after I bought it.

It’s funny that the answer to this has increasingly become “yes” over the last few decades.

Also most of them can’t actually see what they’re doing. It’s hard for me to get things pixel perfect while blindfolded, too.

We can look to our own history. Years of crime and corruption caused long perception and union density declines from the 50s to the late 80s, when hundreds of officials finally got RICO’d, some unions fell under government supervision, etc.

Mine does this. Only I don’t use the whole context with the router because that’s wildly resource intensive and slow. Then, a bit like open router, it does a classifier job with a fast model to choose which one should process the turn. In m

It's funny how much that first paragraph is Claude's voice. I don't know how it got trained so hard to use, "the shape of" for everything .

Seems to me you could own the disc and rip them to tick all the boxes. You bought it. You can lend it to someone. You can easily pull it up in the living room. Etc

Nah. That’s already accounted for in home vs public performance rules.

That’s a nice way of saying they’re full of shit. They want stuff for free, and that’s the whole of it. It’s reasonable to not want to do that, even if it’s not the most severe kind of unethical or illegal act.

I tried this with Halt and Catch Fire (and some others). I was able to get season one, but it turns out they don’t produce a lot of stuff on physical media anymore, and if they do, it’s often only briefly. Another fun one is region locks. T

Is that the state of things? I thought you could copy a legally purchased thing, just not distribute it?

As I understood it, chipmakers aren’t scaling up in record time because the last few times they did that the market fell out from under them, and a bunch of them went out of business. If it were just that they’re enjoying the insane deman

This doesn’t support your previous theory.

Part of me wishes it didn’t exist (again). Part of me likes having an easy mode button for so many things. But all of me knows I can’t be the one person who can’t leverage it.

Is buying launch services really a subsidy, or did I misunderstand?

Well you mostly wouldn’t at the grocery store. I see plenty of people towing their toys on highways in the midwest, all summer long. Boats, campers, etc.

The article says height of the hood and massive A pillars. People like big and boxy. Increased hood height kills people and creates an absurdly large blind area. Massive pillars add roll safety but create horrible blind spots in left hand t

My thinking was that I’ll use the Steam Machine for whatever I can. If there’s some title that friends really want to play and that requires kernel anticheat, and it exists in geforce now, I’ll do that from the steam machine. If it’s someth
