No; a lot of people still put those behind cloudflare.

It’s not age-gated. It’s ID-required.

Most tech jobs could be done on a $25 ten year old smartphone with a cracked screen and bulging battery. That’s exactly my point. Underspending on your tools is a misallocation of resources.

The vast majority of humans across the planet aren’t making their money with their computer, which was the qualifier in the first line of my comment. Furthermore, even if they did, the vast majority of them still won’t be using their comp

Am I crazy for thinking that anyone using computers for doing their job and making their income should have a $5k/year computer hardware budget at a minimum ? I’m not saying to do what I do and buy a $7k laptop and a $15k desktop eve

No movie studio would choose AI slop when people like John Williams or Hans Zimmer exist. That’s a ridiculous argument. It’s such a simple way to differentiate and compete. Whatever Williams cost, Lucas made it back 100x. If AI gets good

Unless they’d outlawed money, some unit of account and medium of exchange must emerge naturally, even in a post-scarcity society.

It’s “very risky” in that it kills or fucks people up one in a million times. This is roughly 10x more dangerous than the average car trip in the USA, so, quite dangerous. As TPOG is basically a scathing social commentary of the global wes

Everyone productive and working can afford a house with a yard now. You’ll be a few dozen miles from others. If you want everyone to be able to afford a house with a yard within walking distance of downtown Palo Alto, there aren’t enough o

There is a very strong argument that if your work output can be discarded effectively in favor of a firehose of mediocre slop, then it is a moral imperative that we stop employing human beings in those roles as it’s a terrible waste of a

> It's [sic] promise is unlimited value to everyone on demand No, it’s not. This is where your concept fails. AI is a tool, like any other tool. It doesn’t provide unlimited anything, and, furthermore, it needs human inputs and

This argument depends on the idea that someone’s creative work output being used for AI training somehow deprives them of benefit from that creative work output - the basic idea behind “copyright infringement is stealing”. This is not to ag

I’ve done precisely this and it was fine. Gifts do not confer obligation . Anyone who thinks they do is at best insincere and at worst a jerk.

That doesn’t require or benefit from acquiring Bun. Node continues to exist and serve fine.

There is nothing legally stopping people from forking the signal app and distributing it (even configured to talk to the official signal.org servers) so long as they don’t use the Signal trademarks. Also, as others pointed out, Moxie isn’t

So, the problem with all of these proposed replacement systems (such as IRV, for example) is that "democracy" is a meme. People, en masse, believe in these systems-as-written (for better or worse) - critically - even if that isn&

Interestingly, “we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model” (what they said) does not mean the same thing as “we don’t use your Gmail content to train AI” (what was asserted). Anyone using Gmail and expecting it to b

It is neither selfish nor greedy to accept and use a gift freely given to you. Receiving a gift does not confer obligations on the recipient.

The purpose of the state is continuity of the state. The state is always the natural enemy of the people - specifically the liberty and privacy of the people. Any time you have a government, you will have a government that wishes to spy on

More useful than this would be speed test results from the hotel wifi. The free wifi in my last hotel in Tokyo was 800Mbps symmetric. I’m ruined forever.

Not-for-profit copyright infringement on this scale is generally a tort and not a criminal act. It’s a bit hyperbolic. It’s a webpage of a comic book.

Uber, when it was launched, was limos only, and would come (with ETA) when cabs would not. It was expensive. The story they told is that they were unable to get a ride. That’s not enshittification, that’s simply scammers on the platform

Yes, but suspicious behavior (of a crime) is indeed often reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime. Suspicious behavior is almost always one of the main, if not the only, thing establishing RAS for a Terry stop.
