That justification was always the issue before. The cost of entry to a working solution for a problem was always high enough that low or very-low value propositions couldn't jump the starting gate (cost > value). AI assisted coding

It has occurred to me that one of the key drivers of the tensions around migration, stems from the undignified arbitrage of human beings resulting from the discrimination to free movement across borders. Global corporations are permitted fr

I kind of agree with you - up until the point that ICE started just shooting people in the face with zero consequences (and please don’t trot out the self-defence BS). Let’s try your comment in 1938 Germany. Replace the word ICE with Gesta

Not sure that putting a non-deterministic black box with zero scrutability and unknown biases in the hands of people with little understanding of financial markets and investment instruments counts as “democratising” anything. Lots of folks

I agree with your points about how the USA used to be viewed globally, and that the predominant feeling is disappointment (or in my case, sadness). However, your characterisation of European countries as “shitty” is unfair IMO. I’m reminded

The article makes valid points about users misunderstanding how OneDrive works (and ascribing the misunderstanding to “dark patterns”), but I’ve been using Linux (first pop-os and now cachyos) for years, while at the same time shadowing mos

So cheap questions where the answers could be readily had are not downvoted even though the answers to their question are right here in the discussion. Whereas because I did not do the legwork that my correspondent would not do, I am penali

Interesting that this is getting downvoted. I truly wonder why. One of the things LLMs are good at is summarising and extracting key points. Or should I have gone to the trouble to do this myself - read the entire comment thread and manuall

Perhaps. Who knows? <<< that’s the point I’m making.

Were all the dead women and children “combatant adjacent”? You implied most of those killed were. I’m challenging that assertion. If you keep shifting the definition of your own terms there’s no point having a conversation.

The fact that this comments section indicates such a yawning chasm of gaps in knowledge (much less, understanding) - in a forum whose users are generally known to be more technically savvy than most - is exactly why IPv6 is still not widely

Aussie here. Using Safari/iOS with an ad-blocker, tested un-logged-in Google, Bing and DDG. Search was “naked women porn”. Only Bing asked via a pop-up whether I was over 18, with options “Agree” or “Disagree”. No other inputs required

The future “super”-ness of anything, is always framed in relation to the pedestrian un-“super”-ness of the current state of that thing. The same question of “why super intelligence” could’ve been asked by our simian ancestors. We don’t ask

“Combatant adjacent” That’s some newspeak right there. Tell me, given all adult, non-ultra-orthodox, Jewish Israelis, regardless of gender, must mandatorily serve in the military and remain reservists for decades, does this mean most Jewish

To be fair, the current superpower has set a pretty low bar. By comparison, most other countries could be said to be making reasonable decisions.

At first, I thought “ponector’s forgotten to add the /s” Then I realised that this will actually happen, and was sadly reminded we’re now in the post-sarcasm era.

This sounds like a great use-case for VPN or Tailscale? Access from anywhere, uses the open-internet as a carriage service but exposes no endpoints on the open internet. Is there a particular requirement that makes that non-viable?

Wow. Everything old is new again. I built a business state machine for a bespoke application using Oracle 8i and their stateful queues back in 2005. I had re-architected a batch-driven application (which couldn't scale temporally i.e.
