Wait, someone actually brought N64 Dinosaur Planet to life? I gotta check this out...

That’s a bit of a dramatic way to describe opening a window.

Haha I was obviously being a bit tongue-in-cheek, and it’s not true every time, but yes I do generally appreciate the wacky convos with cabbies when I land, it feels like a warm welcome home. Your comment resonated with me because this does

Are you kidding me? That's like my favorite part about landing at JFK. How else am I supposed to keep up with the latest crypto developments?

You'd be surprised at how many people will only see the latter. When they introduced congestion pricing in NYC, there were actually people who were commenting, completely unironically, along the lines of "There's no way I&#x2

There are billion-dollar entities preparing to fight this very question out in court as we speak. Your interpretation of the law is certainly plausible, but it is clearly not a settled question. If you really are so confident, go bet on Kal

Are there any court cases you can point to that have clearly established that using LLM generated code can be a copyright violation? My understanding is that this is very far from being settled law.

Your bank is very likely doing just that. They even send you a notice about it every year.

As TFA states, in NYC the assessed value of a home and the market value of a home are wildly different, with the assessed value being much, much lower. This is $1mil in assessed value which would translate to roughly $5mil in market value.

This is really more about raising revenue for the city than increasing the housing supply.

I get your point, but people still have chores to do today. Ultimately, there is a big difference between doing work for yourself, and doing work for someone else for a wage. In one instance you keep the value you are creating, in the other

I don't think it's self-evident that we've gained by switching from horses to cars. For most of the trips one makes in their daily life, the ubiquity of cars just means that you now have to travel greater distances. Plus the

You give examples of transitions that happened, but you have made no argument about how those transitions made us better off. It is not self-evident that a change in technology is necessarily an improvement.

Plenty of people don't like cars to this day.

The example I had in mind was actually audio equipment. Like, clearly the high end stuff gets into diminishing returns to a point somewhere between absurdity and mysticism. But I’ve also had a friend that was completely convinced that vinyl

At what point does optimizing the experience for those who refuse to read or think stop making sense?

I do think the mention of consumerism is apt. In my own encounters with those that seem to take pride in their inability to distinguish certain nuances, it does come off as a mental block borne of not wanting to feel like they are missing o

Here's a crazy idea -- what if some of these vulnerabilities are surfacing because they have actually been found, already, and exist in the training data? Even an intelligence agency doesn't have perfect opsec, and something could

I’m not telling you to do one thing or another. I’m taking issue with your argument that because you pay an electric bill, it follows that you can do whatever you want. That does not follow logically for me. As humans we disagree about many

You are not paying for the total cost of the electricity you use. You pay for a portion of it, in money. The other portion of it is belched up into the atmosphere for future generations to pay. You are incurring debt and forcing it upon oth

It's buried in the battery settings, so not something you will find unless you are looking for it, IIRC.

It's probably scheduled times. I find that time in the air ends up being about an hour less than the time on the ticket.

2% savings on all of your consumer spending isn't insignificant, when compounded over time.

I think it’s plenty reasonable to say that advertising is toxic and reject it as a business model entirely.
