The skill is in being able to solder pipes together, something that is useful to learn as a general skill. It doesn't even need specialized equipment, just a torch, some flux, and a spool of plumbing solder. There is also a tiny bit

That maintenance has to happen one way or another, hiring someone to do it can add quite a multiplier to the price. For example, I was recently looking at water heaters and called 4 different plumbers to get a quote. All of them came in a

One of my pet peeves in the modern web is when someone displays an image and scales it to exactly the size of your screen, but I want to look more closely at a part of the image so I do a scrollwheel zoom, only for the image to actually shr

It feels so bad to see the "You need go give Chrome SUID Root for the sandbox to work". Setting a Web Browser SUID Root was an old joke about clueless users. It was the worst security screwup someone could imagine.

What if they purged all of the competent people and installed party loyalists? That seems to be a recurring theme with this administration. These are guys who unapologetically admire the efficiency of the Nazi party, not realizing that th

It's not hard to see why someone like him might not want to understand the unpopularity of a technology that they have bet their company on. A man can believe almost anything if his paycheck depends on it. Also, from his perspective t

Elon Musk is a great example of what happens when you lose grasp on reality. He's been spouting post-scarcity nonsense for some time now like humanity is anywhere close to achieving it. And worst of all, his grand plan is to build ex

I actually wonder if the combinatoral explosion of attempting to enumerate every possible character combination would exceed 2^64 bits. My intuition is that it might, and also such a system would be unworkably unwieldy. The size of the sp

So instead of a FIFO approach to memory management it instead continually degrades the existing data the more you put in? Details start getting lost or mangled more and more over time?

If this is the angle then I'm even more suspicious that they're secretly pushing for the legislation so when it goes into effect they'll effectively be the only game in town. This is admittedly a bit tinfoil hat, but they wou

Imagine if everybody did this. You break some stupid plastic part on something? No need to throw it away, just print an exact replacement on the spot. Or maybe tweak it first so it's less flimsy then print the replacement.

The steering wheel sensor could be defeated by taping a water bottle to the wheel. The eye tracking is supposed to be harder to defeat, although I wonder if it would accept a mannequin in the driver seat.

We have more like Artificial Superstupidity. Ultimately our current model is extremely unlikely to perform better than the sum of current human knowledge. Godlike super-intelligence is a pipe dream with the current LLM based approaches.
