Quick, someone found a startup called Vibrary and hire vibrarians (I mean, spin up some agentic tablets on wheels) to generate these books on demand for people who request them, working backwards from the halluci-citations. Lawyers will lov

Doesn't seem incorrect if, extra steps aside, the company is ultimately obligated to provide the source code by the terms of the GPL.

Postmodernism is a pretty dead horse to beat on at this point. Once upon a time people in academia were afraid to call it out as nonsense, for fear of getting called too dumb to understand the "discourse". It's now widely der

Have you tried Squad? It shares DNA with Battlefield as it grew out of an old BF2 mod (Project Reality) and feels like what BF might be today if they'd gone a different path. It's a lot more realistic, can be slow at times and fee

All things considered, I don't think advanced degrees necessarily correlate with intelligence. It's often just a marker of socioeconomic privilege. A Carnegie Mellon study found that people with PhDs were more likely than any othe

Look up the definition of "hate". How is "cold, hard anger" like one might feel toward a N*zi collaborator not adjacent to that? Why quibble over this?

The Discord anecdote and the reactions your post got reminded me of something from this: https://www.betterconflictbulletin.org/p/what-you-can-learn-... "text-only conversations are toxic" ..such has been my

The author clarifies a couple sentences later that the contempt they feel is "the cold, hard anger you hold for a collaborator" - "collaborator" apparently meaning something like the very bad WWII kind of collaborator, r

I thought I had that too, similar problems but it was just anxiety mixed with the effects of trying to quit smoking. I recommend getting an ultrasound of the relevant veins/arteries, it's a relatively cheap and safe way to confirm

Most of the population was disenfranchised in those examples. Peasants, slaves, urban poor and women generally weren't allowed to vote. Some very brief exceptions aside, universal suffrage only really emerged about 100-200 years ago (l

Interesting, but this is still done inefficiently by a relatively small group of actual humans. The damage that a Thiel/Musk owned industrial bot swarm can do is much greater imo. I've seen Discord bots (shapes.ai) that can conver
