this seems obviously true, but at the same time very very wrong. openclaw / moltbot / whatever it's called today is essentially a thought experiment of "what happens if we just ignore all that silly safety stuff" w

What makes jpeg compression bad isn’t low bandwidth. It’s really good at compressing an image for that. What makes jpeg bad is that the compression artifacts multiply when a jpeg gets screen captured and then re-encoded as a jpeg, or autom

americans are too terrified of somebody getting something for free to ever tolerate that. it's okay in other countries, because other countries are deserving of charity, and the americans who travel to them have implicitly passed the

if they didn't want to say more, they should have said less. the way that normal serious businesses handle situations like this is to simply stop carrying the product, instead of publishing vague, unverifiable accusations of wrongdoing

your first clue might have been that it does not say "zip code" in either the field label or the error message, it says "postcode".

my first reaction was that the counter in the top right seemed like a really low number, but i think i was interpreting it wrong - that's the number of rides in progress, not a cumulative counter for the day, right?

I think they will eventually. It’s always been a very incoherent sales pitch that your expensive PCs are packed full of expensive hardware that’s supposed to do AI things, but your cheap PCs that have none of that are still capable of doin
