Too bad it never caught on. Plan9 taking off instead of Linux would be an interesting alternate timeline.

Well, depends on the level of government you're talking about. If it is local, then if local homeowners (who are local voters) don't want the development, it is eminently 'democratic.'

I dunno, Bud Lite continues to slide into the abyss because the company is more afraid of going against the woke tide and apologizing- it would rather effectively lose in the market than dare to appear insufficiently enlightened.

Thats an interesting detail I wasn't aware of.

The soap opera Karen/Danny subplot has been my main roadblock with the show. Otherwise it has been generally a fantastic series.

The main issue is the ones having a problem with the improved state of affairs reliably call on the use of other systems that have always worsened the affairs of countries that adopt them.

Well, the question then becomes, what is the upper limit of a baby human raised by monkeys without human contact? Will that baby automatically become a complex tool user with a better comprehension of the world around it than the monkeys in

What’s the difference between a house on a ‘wooded’ lot and a cabin in a forest? Seems an artificial distinction.

And to me that is the main issue. "2001 - A Space Odyssey" made a very deep point that is looking more and more prophetic. HAL was broken specifically because he had hidden objectives programmed in, overriding his natural ability

Not affiliated, just came across it randomly and it is a fun distraction that stimulates parts of my brain that often aren't. 20 'puzzles' to work through.

I have ancient coax in the US on my house built in the 70s, leading to syncing at lower bandwidth often on my moca, sometimes as low as 100Mb. Luckily it runs outside the house, so at some point I’ll replace it with newer cable and actually

If you're relying on something other than word matching in the design of a LLM then it probably isn't going to work at all in the first place.

Probably, but you want to give the network effects to them to multiply their societal effectiveness. Long term rewarding them is less about assisting them individually but increasing their influence on the general welfare.

Depends- if they end up doing race based red-lining, where they’re only boosting minority dominated zip codes instead of generally poor ones, they could still get dinged.

I believe Mexico would still qualify due to the free trade agreement.

Is there already a theory for life->greater complexity similar to that of entropy in physics? It seems just as inexorable.

This would be very divergent from Apple's past practice. Assuming its a bug at this point in the authorization steps.

Or it shows the opposite- we are all indeed the center of our own universe, the hero of our own story.

On actual network gear you'd typically drop the interfaces into a subnet/broadcast domain, but the blogger here has put everything in /32s and it looks like it's creating a peer connection without a shared domain. Any pa

Happy accident at first, though there are some possibilities around grandparents increasing survival rates of younger children, so that would ultimately feed back into the gene pool.

Remarkably prescient. Any public knowledge whether Musk has cited this as an inspiration? This arstechnica article feels like a direct descendent: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/elon-musk-spacex-needs..

simonw is the best kind of spammer- he brings his creation into the discussion- but he does so in a way that enriches the value of what is being discussed. His tool [Datasette] is of course such that it often is immensely handy at dissectin
