I always wondered who y’all were and why you did this.

That's certainly one way to implement it, no doubt. I have my doubts that unrepairable, failing products are produced by few enough manufacturers that holding a handful of large ones to these rules would make a big dent in waste. But,

Possibly! I just think we should be clear about what tradeoffs are being proposed. This isn't all fairy dust and magic, and the average person doesn't have the background to understand the impact of proposals like this.

Just about every proposed regulation in this article would dramatically increase the selling price of nearly all goods, and dramatically hinder new entrants from selling new products by increasing the burden to get started. If that's t

It's not easy, if even possible. Mature markets that reach enormous scale transform into a barbell shape, typically, with all the revenue being at the very top end, and the very bottom end. Take furniture. In a new market you build a n

Is it still the case that this product attempts to brute-force unlock the phone?

Try https://ollama.ai Super easy to get setup and play around. Probably start with Llama2 13b or 7b, and then Mistral 7b. If you want a dead-simple chat GUI for interfacing, check out Ollamac.

Interesting. Do other states not tax registration based on the value of the vehicle in some way? I don't live in California, but my registration is variable to the value of the car.

Absolutely _love_ Homebrew. Thanks for all you (and the other volunteers) have done to keep it running!

For whatever reason, wind power tends to be back-of-mind for me. Clearly, I'm missing out! What amazing machines!

If it's hot enough outside, at some point the phone will start using your body as a heat sink. So I guess it'd be warmer, until it's cooler, haha.

It is typically much more expensive to dig down than build on the surface, and in the Phoenix area ground temps are still very warm. A well insulated building on the surface will be easier to build, maintain, and won’t require significant

Exactly. Who is “we”? What are “our” goals? There are (nearly?) no universal human values. AI doesn’t have ethics, it doesn’t have values. It might imitate those in some ways, but it doesn’t have them. What this article longs for is a God

In the arid American West, at least, lightning caused fires are extremely common. Historically these forests were significantly less dense than they are after 100 years of human fire suppression, which meant less available fuel, and slower

If you're providing an API that's well defined and constrained in scope (i.e. a typical CRUD API where you're creating/modifying normalized objects in a non-changing object hierarchy), then graphql is usually just a shit

> Using GraphQL for a business process CRUD app is a nightmare Could not agree more. GQL is such a big mistake in so many use cases.
