And all the survivors die from radiation? This must be a joke

This sounds great... in theory. And just sort of assumes that large casualties are acceptable. Or, even worse, that a lone individual can impart change via a well aimed shot, or something. Both of which are wild and not something the avera

Amazing that some people thought a pseudorandom number generator would be good at diagnosing health issues it can't even see.

Are you suggesting people take up arms against police? Has that ever gone well for anyone, except as a quick way to die?

Sometimes it's done right, like with The Expanse. Although the writers also wrote some of the episode scripts, so that probably helped...

A structured language without ambiguity is not, in general, how people think or express themselves. In order for a model to be good at interfacing with humans, it needs to adapt to our quirks. Convincing all of human history and psychology

That's great! But it doesn't mean we've finished improving.

I wish I understood how that works. Retail investors are so small, compared with hedge funds and whatnot, that "average people" cannot move a stock price significantly. So, when Trump tweets about a company, how does the stock mov

It's a tongue-in-cheek description of how buses and trams work. ie: It's not a new idea, we just tacked "driverless" onto it.

That's beside the point? Gaining security by losing freedom was always on the table. What's interesting is the cultural shift toward not caring about losing freedom.

We're looking for a change in slope based on overarching economic policy as a means of comparing two political parties. A global disaster is not a policy.

Joe Biden "created" jobs the way covid "created" job vacancies. Maybe time periods with worldwide upheaval should be taken with a little salt.

Yes, there are some flaws. The first airplanes also had some flaws, and crashed more often than they didn't. That doesn't change how incredible it is, while it's improving. Maybe, just maybe, this thing that was, until recent

I hope so. We're right on the cusp of having computers that actually are everything we ever wanted them to be, ever since scifi started describing devices that could do things for us. There's just a few pesky details left to iron

> Also, they are restricted in how they use it, and defendents have rights and due process. It's a nice sentiment, if true. ICE is out there, right now today, ignoring both individual rights as well as due process.

This seems good? LFS isn't about building Linux the way Linux was built 40 years ago. It's about learning how to do today's Linux, from scratch. Steps that lead to a radically different build from most Linux distros are there

I was a Just enjoyer for quite a while, until I tried mise. Mise does all the same things as just, but also has source/output tracking to avoid rerunning build jobs (like make), and also bundles runtimes like asdf. It's become my

It works for me, in that I don't care about all the intermediate babble ai generates. What matters is the final changelist before hitting commit... going through that, editing it, fixing comments, etc. But holding it's hand while

This seems factually incorrect and ignorant of history. Java has tons of things which shouldn't be used. Serialization (use Jackson now, not the built-in stuff), date/time (there's an entirely different namespace so you don&#

The US government has made it pretty clear that we're two countries. There's the USA, and "democratic-controlled cesspools". Dropping a bomb on Chicago isn't that nuts when you don't think of Chicago as part of
