For the sake of argument, why should I be more afraid of phoning home to China (a country I will probably never go to) than phoning home to the US or Canada? If I'm making an inappropriate joke to my wife while we drive, I'd prefe

I've generally advocated ignoring Musk, but it's impossible to defend him in good faith as a reasonable figurehead for a multinational company. His X page in particular portrays a man who cares deeply about 4chan/pol politic

Likewise. I'll play devil's advocate and say that I think the Codex-cli included with the plus subscription is pretty good (quality wise). However, after using it, it suddenly told me I couldn't use it for a week out without

Yes, this is very much my experience too. Switching to GPT5 Thinking helps a little, but it often misses things that it wouldn't when I was using o3 or o1. As an example, I asked it if there were any incidents involving Botchan in an O

Ah I would have guessed that too but in my case, had a crack that opened up over night — no impact at all. Besides, hot in summer and cold in winter. Just see no benefit, it is just another made for California feature

I bought one too and he did not factor into it. Electric car + active battery management were what I cared about at the time of purchase. Also, I am biased against GM and Ford due to experiences with their cars in the 80s and 90s. I doubt

As someone who normally would not take such anti-life positions, I legitimately cannot understand why anyone would want to survive a nuclear attack. You'd survive just to starve. From that perspective, duck and cover is trading a quic

I can relate. I've made some changes in my life that helped avoid Youtube. The single most effective thing I did was during my week off when I put my phone in a drawer and mostly stuck to my apple watch for notifications and a keycard

I don't know how much I trust bond buyers and other "Market participants" to have a meaningful long-term view of a financial position with the many destabilising factors we are seeing (Social, Climate, etc..). They are accur

We can both agree that the government has a monopoly on violence and thus the controllers and owners of government control violence. There is no contradiction. (Bill Gates getting his car legalized is a great non-controversial example of h

I do not understand why so many companies have that charging issue with Linux devices. Anbernic has the same issue with the RG35XX series. If the battery reaches 0, you may need to pull it out just to get the charging to work. And if you a

In my case, I've been working on fixing it by doing side work porting apps to offline-first Linux handhelds. With AI it is not hard nor time consuming. You can make personal versions of anything that adds personal value. The idea tha

I do not know why you are being downvoted as this is something I heard too and is quite serious. > Other countries, in essence, are providing us with a sovereign wealth fund,” he told commentator Larry Kudlow, himself a top economic advi

I semi-agree, but the type of democracy you are referring to would involve much smaller groups with more power and would ruin the political "economy of scale" that we get from having the same laws apply to everyone over vast space

Apparently this happening was well telegraphed by people in the industry. A friend used to send me articles regularly from Semiaccurate in the mid 2010s. I thought it was "alternative truth" but it turns out to have been more, uh

I'm sure the "all conspiracies are without basis / nothing ever happens / I'm not organized so no one else is" crowd is pretending Iran Contra never happened as they downvote you.

Building some software for the Trim UI Brick. It's such a neat little thing; being able to turn it into an offline-first device that can handle my data needs would sincerely fill me with joy. Right now I'm making an Anki-style fl

We literally have a western country opening fire on unarmed people queuing for food in the same region. It's literally on the front page right now. Prosecutors for those crimes have had their accounts frozen by Microsoft. So yeah, no

I'm pretty sure there is a free speech crowd that was serious about this; I just don't think it's as big as it is portrayed, maybe 5% of the US population at most. No one likes Free Speech when they are on the receiving end

I read Dubliners in CEGEP (Grade 12) and, while I didn't care for it much at the time, in retrospect it's impressive how I still remember the beats from "A Mother". Apparently the characters were based on people Joyce a

I was thinking BW2 Galvatron too — looks great. After reading everyone's comments about price I expected it would be much worse. I might consider it after my current laptop dies.
