   Also maybe at one point accept that "Oil" with an EROEI dangerously getting to below the 1.0 mark is not the same "Oil" as was talked-about 30 years ago: if your shale sands have to get burnt with local coal or natgas to

   Be very wary of any such weaponized truth: you don't know how much selection bias is at play, how much confirmation bias is requested, you don't even know if the interviewees are what they say they are.

    You do realise that the people writing for Haaretz are also nationals of that country right? Maybe learn to be precise, helps in all situations.

    what is it about websites that can't be zoomed? do the authors not realise their choice of fonts won't always fit with mobile phone screens?

    I am then quite torn: keep using SuperCollider with all the accumulated UGens and example code, or switch to this elegant language and start over with a lot of basics... Leading to the question: any bridges or ways to integrate and reuse be

    It's high-time for a "reasonable compensation" clause in hobbyists' open-source software licenses I think. Something to the effect of: "if you're using my labour of love to make millions, gimme one of these mil

    So that there's a trace on the Internet on how seriously LG takes the social engineering going on with oblivious Smart-TV users to enable creation of residential-proxy armies, I did report the BrightData apps to LG at the right email a

    Psychosis will find anything as a seed idea to express itself, even as basic a pattern as someone walking in lockstep with the soon-to-be patient can trigger a break. So it's not surprising that LLM chats would do the same.

    classic bully move of saying if you don't hand over the lunch money and keep quiet, he's going to plant that knife in your belly. Except the bully goes to the same school and his daddy (Russian's oligarchy Putin pet masters)

    Sorry I had forgotten who it was. Now time to name and shame: the culprit calls itself https://brightdata.com/ Also LG relying on the developer's own disclosure for what they call "Data Sefety" is really poor

    maybe lookup keywords "exorbitant privilege" and "seigniorage", losing reserve currency status does not help reindustrialization.

    oh yeah I was horrified recently starting up a "smart TV" and going through the installable apps to find a lot of repackaged youtube contents, even from creators I like, eg. a chess channel. The app just provides the same content
