> But in any case it would be wrong. Don't respond to sleaze with yet more sleaze. Is it wrong, or just illegal some places? Is it only "sleaze" where it's illegal, or everywhere?

Maybe. It doesn't sound completely physically impossible, but it's like...even if you could do it, why wouldn't you just use sugar glass or some other trick? Infinitely safer and more fun for the same result.

ML is part of the larger field of Artificial Intelligence, which includes all techniques to make a computer do anything we consider as part of intelligence.

To be fair, IMO this is probably the least foolhardy thing that Twitter has talked about doing in a _while_. I can't imagine it'll be a huge success, but at least it's a feature _someone_ could want to use.

Given the context, the probability of that being tongue-in-cheek has to be quite high.

I'd still think it's more likely it was a magic trick or scam.

I think he means LockPickingLawyer (a very popular youtuber that picks and bypasses locks of all sorts), with the meaning that the locks aren't secure.

Labor has _always_ been a liability for rich amoral capitalists. Should one assume by you saying this in response to this story that labor should race to the bottom, becoming just as cheap and disposable as a machine? Sounds like a bad worl

What is empty or not is a concept at human scales. It loses nearly all meaning at the scale of atoms.

> “Are there any items in this list that are true? No? Ok, then False” There's no particular reasoning that this is any more compelling than: “Are there any items in this list that are false? No? Ok, then True”

For SSDs I'm not sure. My data drives, SSDs are still too expensive so I haven't switched. Spinning rust it definitely does matter (for drive lifetime and also contention).

There's other ways to avoid becoming a burden, but yes that would be worth planning for.

It depends on the person, but I'd wager that that perspective isn't even close to the majority one. Death is waiting for everyone, having an actual date range for it doesn't really change _that_ much.

If nothing else, it could allow you to make different decisions in your life. If my mind is going to be gone in 10 years, I'm sure as shit not saving for long term retirement anymore.

Mostly different in terms of performance and wear on the drives. If you rsync over and over, it has to scan basically the whole filesystem for changes each time. Zfs snapshots don't. The snapshot is ~instant and the calculation of what

My contention that FP has no meaning gains another point of evidence.

They have Either, so kind of. It looks serviceable, if a little messy without language support for safely destructuring its cases.

by kadoban 3y ago
Either as a pattern is _used_ everywhere, but the standard library in go doesn't have one (people just use a tuple), so it's _always_ encoded wrong. It's very annoying.

In what way is it not relevant? We are paying for a system that rewards the few rich and strings along the many in a system of poverty and pain. So, let's fix the incentives and stop doing that. What could possibly be _more_ relevant?

I use all kinds of new tech, having a device I actually like to write on isn't holding that back at all. You're making far too much out of minor differences in priorities of vaguely competing devices.

Subsidizing research? Yes. Doing it by making it economically favorable that many people doing that research live in poverty, while the rewards for that research go to the rich? No.

It probably depends what the limits of physics actually are. If interstellar war is actually practical given the laws of nature, you might be worried about such things. Otherwise, doesn't matter.

It's just a tablet that feels nice to write on. It doesn't have to be anything more profound than that.

I installed koreader on my remarkable2, and it's now easily the best reading experience for manga and textbooks that I know of. I just swipe on the side of the screen once to switch back and forth, it's _so_ great. There's no
