Elon's not doing any of that and never will lol. You're vastly underestimating the cost and complexity of doing anything in space. Sure, an asteroid theoretically has eighty quadrillion dollars of whatever, but you're going

It is true lol, that's our whole thing as a species.

These are hobbyist sites, not critical infrastructure. Commercial aviation doesn't use them. > It's analogous to "hobby" code running key infrastructure of the internet I have some bad news my dude lol

"Wire fraud" means financial fraud, not "sending data over wires".

Agreed. Humans are insanely good at figuring out intent and context, and running stuff through an LLM breaks that. The times I've had to communicate IRL in a language I don't speak well, I do my best to speak slowly and enunciate

by habinero 9mo ago
Yep. If you don't know the language, it's best not to pretend you do. I've done this kind of thing, even if I think it's likely they speak English. (I speak zero Japanese here.) It's just polite and you never know w

> Fraud happens in the margins of society it rarely ever happens at a macro level, and if it does happen at a macro level the trend doesn't last long and will mostly die within a year at most Ahahahahahaha. Oh man. I think you have

by habinero 9mo ago
Yeah. That'd exactly how it works. It's why having strong anti-SLAPP laws is critical.

There is no investigation. They haven't even released the officers' names.

What? No, he didn't. The police went after peaceful civil rights protesters with clubs and dogs . They knew they could be badly hurt or killed and did it anyway.

Oh no, not civil disobedience. The horror.

by habinero 9mo ago
No, it's pretty clear they don't care and will never care.

No-ish if you work by yourself, yes if you work with anybody else.

If you want to be any good at all in this industry, you have to develop enough technical skills to evaluate claims for yourself. You have to. It's essential. Because the dirty secret is a lot of successful people aren't actually s

Yeah. It turns 0.05X developers into 0.2X developers and 1X developers into 0.9-1.1X developers. The problem is the 0.05X developers thought they were 0.5X and now they think they're 20X.

No, it's like telling typists they need to know how to read. Very different lol.

Compilers are deterministic and have predictable, dependable behavior. And people can and do still write lower level code when it matters, because they understand when it matters.

Yeah, and those claims are made up to scare people who don't know how it works. The government knows who is a citizen and who isn't lol, they literally have the records. Voter rolls are very closely scrutinized. Dead people are, i

Voting is much more fundamental to a democracy than Uber lmao, therefore it's worth it to make the effort to make sure as many people as possible can participate. We have essentially ~no voter fraud in the US, so the only reason to cha

I mean, that fits with what I said.

by habinero 9mo ago
I mean, not all workplaces hire the best.

by habinero 9mo ago
That's a terrible analogy lol. 1. Chefs do learn the chemistry, at least enough to know why their techniques work. 2. Food scientist is a real job 3. The supply chain absolutely does have scientists involved in day to day operations lo

It lets 0.05X developers be 0.2X developers and 1X developers be 0.9-1.1X developers. The problem is some 0.05X developers thought they were 0.5X and now they think they're 2X.

Or -- and hear me out -- unserious people are saying nonsense things for attention and pointing this out is the appropriate response.
297.
by habinero 9mo ago
It's not. Plenty of people do none of those things.

by habinero 9mo ago
No, that's just fear-mongering and spreading propaganda. Our elections are designed to handle everything you said. I wrote another comment explaining, but you can also literally go watch it done yourself. Everything's a conspiracy

by habinero 9mo ago
And that's completely fine , because each mail-in ballot is associated with one voter, and the system is designed to make fraud very obvious and difficult to scale. If thousands of people were told "you already voted" when t

by habinero 9mo ago
This is 100%, completely absolutely untrue. Stop repeating this propaganda. The system is actually really well designed and safe, I was a poll observer. You cannot "fabricate" votes, because all mail-in ballots are associated with
