He protected one meatbag (himself) at the risk of an unknown number of other meatbags on the ground. They were right to fire him. Context for others — https://www.postandcourier.com/news/special_reports/marine-f...

You might be able to but again, that has little to do with vision and much to do with your persistent and correct mental model of the world.

This is commonly said but trivially falsifiable — a blind human crosses the street better than a Tesla. Eyesight isn’t the thing. Humans have a persistent mental model of the world, and of the physics that drive it. Our eyes only check in e

More humans. Seriously. Keep more humans in the loop. Everything else does and will fail. Humans add resilience to systems; demand and complexity reduce resilience. You’re describing the infrastructure of a large system — it’s a custom-buil

This is a thoughtful response and deserves discussion. Yes, certainly, OpenAI might get your age wrong. Yes, certainly, they’re signaling to advertisers. But consider OPs point — ChatGPT has become a safety-critical system. It is a tool cap

I agree with you about Conan the Barbarian being a high note. That movie doesn’t get enough credit. There are very few better in the whole genre.

If you can find a way to do it better or cheaper you’re welcome to try. No one else has. Don’t think it’s a small problem. The number of user agents and platforms supported by Tailwind would melt plenty of larger organizations.

You know, there’s something to be said for Ireland’s attitude. The other islands (ha!) and the continent have treated them as second-class chattel for centuries, while competing amongst themselves for global hegemony. Better to stay out of

Oh, I can see it now — giant, low-gravity-raised cockroaches branded as Heinz Space Lobsters. Everything is fine until the station loses power to the Space Lobster containment facility …

This is such a modern, Puritanical take on nudity. Casual nudity exists everywhere in the world except where it is explicitly repressed. The relationship between sex and nudity is strengthened by prohibitions against nudity.

I agree, this article is crap. Tirreno looks pretty sweet, though.

Consider the source — the author appears to believe that trauma itself doesn’t truly exist, is not based on physical phenomena or experiences, and is largely a sales idea manufactured by the therapy industry. This article, and others, are r

No, they wouldn’t — that’s the point of this entire thread. A catalog with 100x the pages and items would be useless, impossible to organize, and expensive to stock. The creators of those catalogs, who lest we forget, were at the forefront

Yeah, I know about this; it’s not the same. In Windows apps following the standard (which all good ones do) _every menu item_ is keyboard addressable. Something several submenus in is trivially accessible by muscle memory: ALT-I-R-C to resi

Dang, the author of this site doesn’t seem well (e.g., https://www.legalscandal.info/ls_eng/attempted_murder_costa_... ). They need professional help, not exposure. I feel icky seeing this here.

> The fact that they blindly signed it afterwards is a sign that they are unfit to be a lawyer. Yes, this is the crux of it. More than any other thing you pay a lawyer to get the details right.

I feel your pain here; I remember my transition from Debian to MacOS. I’ve used DOS, Windows, Linux, and MacOS — each full-time for more than a decade. The switching pain is real, and some things still feel wrong to me after I got to love t

This is one of the reasons that large-scale corporate ownership of media is very bad for citizens, and very good for oppressive governments. The FCC can make one phone call to one powerful person running one large corporate entity. If the

Just to be clear, by “steal his company’s lunch” you mean “use software his company published in the manner specified by that software’s license,” right? It’s a funny definition of theft.

Not really. A golden retriever has hair longer than any cat does, and of course large dogs shed much more.
