In general, vendor lock in is the natural state, especially under capitalism. Being able to (so easily) install Linux on a PC is an exception. On the topic of Windows, it took lawsuits to allow OEM's and users to remove IE. Open choi

They won't want to own code that is malicious\illegal\used in crime, although it's really weird to me that no one (in LEO) seems to care that, for example, grok generates CSAM, revenge porn, probably other illegal things, so they&

I agree. Magic-ese is a language on its own. It's close to English, but not quite. What is an "intervening if clause" in English, for example? Learning the rules of Magic will leave you confused about a natural language if yo

Me too. I wonder what the other other 20% consists of. I think a huge part of it would aid continuing arguments that long outlive the productive discussion around the article.

Given its age and considering early games on the system, it's amazing how good the street fighter II’ port is. NEC made some good looking console hardware for the Japanese market too.

I think "diner" should be a protected term that has to meet certain criteria, like Kentucky Strait Bourbon. A diner should only be able to legally call itself a diner if it's open 24/7, has a glass case showing slices of

First, tobacco and alcohol companies absolutely are regulated. Second, traditionally the age gate for cigarettes and booze is for the seller to look at your ID just to verify your age, then forget you. The process was not to establish yo

Please take a beat to think about how this would be implemented (it looks like it's not decided at this time) before reflexively saying "good" because the marketing sounds nice. This is how the US got swindled into accepting

"Easily in the pre-AI era" is different from "easier" & "easier" wasn't the claim. To answer your question, relative ease is a function, in part, of one's skills & resources, so, it's cer

Authorities also presented the AI image during a press briefing on the runaway wolf, local media reported. ... Authorities did not specify if the man had intentionally sent the photo to authorities during their search or simply shared it o

I like the idea of a no bypass brewer, like the ceado hoop. It's somewhat more efficient with coffee and more consistent, plus it doesn't benefit from any specific type of kettle or any type of technique. You just pour the water a

A lot of the appeal of the older models, besides the brand name, is the beautiful design. It's like a functional work of art. As a brand that stood the test of time, LM's are also easy to restore too. Yeah, you can get a cheaper m

Italian design from some of these eras is unmatched. A new LMLM is beautiful, but even the budget home espresso machines from Gaggia used to take it more seriously. A Gaggia classic pro [0] that you can buy today looks clean but boring, but

To add a data point, I've reduced my meat consumption from "whenever I can" to "once a day" to "normally once a day, but some days none at all". It's really not that big a deal. I have no idea what th

It's the shotgun approach. The people writing checks only need a few bets to pan out. I think it's more enticing for investors, especially if they're true believers in AI, if it means fewer workers to share equity with, pay b

It doesn't have to be a competition, and similar things, like making it harder to get a gun, introducing/enforcing laws around locking up your weapon, making mental healthcare more available (including a hotline), etc., will great

I also recall hearing, "do as I say, not as I do" a lot as well. If these folks really did change to be more susceptible to scams though, I hope for my own sake that this is less a function of aging and more a function of being fe

if people are this easily manipulated and fooled AI detection probably needs to be added to computer literacy curricula (maybe it is, and it is just too late for adults). Of course, it is a political strategy of Republicans (probably cons

In the era of venues, ticket sellers and resellers being one and the same, a show is never really sold out. It's a marketing tool, yes, but in the context of the "underplay", it's also a way to limit supply, thus increas

Shadowy? Kroger's and Albertsons weren't allowed to merge due to anticompetitive practices, price hikes, etc. This was only a couple years ago & is out in the open. You can point all your fingers and toes at the boards of thes

It could also be that doing the work isn't held in as high esteem as you think.

Think about blaming the grocery store replacing workers with no one in particular before you blame some college pranksters. Grocery stores in general consolidating, laying off workers, leaving them without pay/benefits, taking advantag

It sucks that we have to do extra labor and expose ourselves to this kind of legal risk all because a grocery store doesn't want to staff workers. It's not even like they pass these savings onto us...

I know how to cook. Even with that context, your comment is still meaningless. Like the other commenter, I invite you to read my entire comment.

Trying it or not (I have) doesn't make OP's comment any more meaningful or less worthy of a downvote. The fact that you have to focus on moving the conversation away from the the point and are trying to move the conversation towar

I'm just down voting a meaningless comment. 1T fish sauce + an unknown amount of tomato sauce could taste like anything from fish sauce to tomato sauce.

The idea that Claude might be able to help you change the color of your led lighting as a legitimate counter to things like a less usable world wide web, worse government services, the loss of human ability, etc. is excellent parody.
