I think the intent is there. I do not have faith that people, politics or events will cooperate with us. I also think this is NASA's last hurrah before space flight is subsumed by commercial interests, which will be the end of the drea

It is not a person, nor even a living thing. It is a tool - same as a hammer or pliers. The decisions made are based on statistical probability, not actual thought or consciousness.

Sooner or later, some idiot lawmaker/opportunist is going to insist on 1) age checks to connect to a router and 2) content filters for routers, both of which can be used to score cheap political points.

If I was more paranoid, I'd start thinking the ban is to make it easier to spy on us by limiting our choices to a few domestic vendors who can be coerced by regulatory capture and "for the kids" political rhetoric.

I’ve tried FreeCAD multiple times, but I’m just too used to Rhino 3D. Unfortunately, it’s rather expensive. Anyone need a slightly used, low-mileage, one owner soul?

> any system which is insecure should be a legitimate target, and the onus needs to be on those who own the systems to secure them, and be unable to disclaim liability if they do not And what is the limit on that, because the only actual

If it becomes mandatory in the workplace, it needs to be a work budget item, like other equipment, not as part of the compensation package. As for the rest of your prediction, I would have to be a complete idiot to pay for tokens to run a s

Slight difference - truck nuts are a crass joke. Comfort nuts are supposed to be a psychological crutch for a dog. The owners actually believe the dog has an issue in the same way that some circumcised humans do.

Well, seeing as how AI will be replacing humans, all the humans can just move out of the state. Problem solved!

This is the computer equivalent of "comfort nuts" for a neutered dog, which is really about the owner, not the dog.

This bill isn't about actually solving a problem - it a feel-good measure aimed to make it appear that the legislator is actually doing something, in the same way that every other "it's for the children" law has been cre

My main worry is: what is the license on the code produced by Claude (or any other coding agent)? It seems like, if it was trained using open-source software, then the resulting code needs to be open-source as well and it should be compatib

Would it be easier, though? Medical records (in the US) are covered by HIPAA and, to my knowledge, there is no anonymized canonical record, similar to what we have for legal decision. Without that, how difficult would it be to just "ma

That's a solid gold recommendation for Anthropic, far as I'm concerned.

Their unwillingness to bend on those requirements seems like an admission that they are very interested in those things, if not already doing them.

When you vibe-code, what is the license on the code produced by the AI? What is the license on the code used to train it and does that license carry over?

As comedians say: the last few months have been disastrous, but the next few months will be disastrous, too. Just lots of ... disaster ... going around. (cue grim laughter) Sooo, as I was saying: giant meteor ...

The current SCOTUS has, so far, given the Trump administration a lot of rope to hang us by. If they use it to hang themselves remains to be seen.

OK, fine. Can I at least use a resin printer to create printing plates?

This is an idiotic feel-good bill being pushed by political opportunists who want to look like they're taking action against a flood of illicit plastic guns. In a sane world, it would be shut down before anyone even wasted the time to

That response is, at best, a sorry-not-sorry post.

Well, they need to do something. Kind of silly to ask them to ask the US to defend them against the US. It might be a cakewalk, but at least they’ll have tried to stand up to a wanna-be dictator, which is more than we’re doing.

Will they also need to separate from the banking systems? As I understand it, almost every banking transaction goes through a US-based network.

Who knew that Big Brother would name himself after a 1990s movie about a completely different premise?
