Sounds like an advertisement for a magazine that’s been removed polite society in the past few decades to me.

Sure, if AGI were controlled by an organization or individual with good intent, it could be used that way or for other good works. I suspect AGI will be controlled by a big corp or a small startup with big corp funding and/or ties and

We already have human-level intelligence in HUMANS right now, the hack is that the wealthy want to get rid of the human part! It's not crazy, it's sad to think that humans are trying to "capitalize" human intelligence, r

"The AI will do the coding for that!" or "Imagine an AI that can just use the regular human-optimized UI!" These are things VCs will say in order to pump the current gen AI. Note that current gen AI kinda suck at those t

Me too, but as an adult now I see the value in teaching or even forcing kids to not procrastinate :) I still do it, but I know in my heart that I'll hate myself for it later!

I'll hand it to you that a $1mm home is definitely valuable, however in my case, living on an island, it's not like I can trade it for anything much less valuable, so it's pretty much non-fungible if you assume I will move fr

Seriously, the answer is to have the students turn essays in using stages. First stage is to write on paper by hand, even if there’s not a lot of research or facts yet. Lay out the argument first using what they remember from the initial re

Maybe if prices doubled over a few years, housing was out of reach, and salaries were stagnant it would be harder to buy stuff and the economy would suffer. Whoops!

That’s the whole point I was trying to make, of course. Physical objects are easier to complete. Software never becomes complete, in many cases.

I find it’s easier for me to finish physical products, like woodworking, rather than software. I’m building a door right now for my patio, and let me tell you that it’s next to impossible to redo the design of a piece of wood once you’ve mi

In Hawaii my house is 870k for a three bedroom built in the 50s on a medium plot. I still agree with your argument other than that.

In any case, Amazon did give back to Elastic via code commits before the fork, so they didn't just steal the code, they also made it better. I can't believe I am defending Amazon, but this is a hill that I will die on: FOSS means

by ok_dad 2y ago
> it's a dick move and against the spirit of FOSS I disagree with this. Most people use FOSS and do not give anything back, individuals included. The spirit of FOSS is creating things that others will use without compensation. If I

When I see two things that appear the same, but were developed or created by two different people and/or methods, I inspect each closely to see where the differences lie. Usually, there are some good lessons to learn from each new pie

Your link specifically says Amazon didn’t steal the code, some German company did. I get it, Amazon is bad, I agree they are too, but not because they’re malicious, Amazon is bad because they’re too large to compete on level ground with any

What, when Amazon forked an open source project, as was allowed by the license, and continued to support that open source license even when the original company abandoned theirs? I’m not an Amazon fan, but they did the same thing (forking)

You then have to ensure the flat side of the blade pair meets without a gap. The gap, at least when I’m sharpening wood planes with a chip breaker, allows material to get stuck which will prevent a good cut. I would imagine getting some spi

I’m building a door. I find that mortises (my frame is mortise and tenon, the tenons were easy on a table saw) are much harder to create if you don’t have a proper plunge router. I’m using some chisels and it works fine but I have eight mor

Millions of people experience name changes… and have to file paperwork. I don’t know how many copies of my marriage cert I’ve had to send out now. I had to send one to a multiplayer video game company to change an account name, for example.

I’m not just going to accept giving up on public government data and records because some patent trolls are wasting tax dollars.

Why is it a public benefit if companies resolve cases faster saving themselves cash? I’d rather the court records and data be open by default.

Just use kanban. Put one backup toothpaste in a drawer and when you get it out add it to the shopping list right away. Works for anything non perishable which you can stock up on, like toilet paper or cleaning supplies.
