Unfortunately, due to the nature of these things, you cannot verify an app is unmodified without also verifying the OS running it is also unmodified. So if VW decides that only their unmodified app may access APIs, then they kind of are stu

The aggregate effects on employment caused by immigration work on an identical timescale. If your point is, "people are terrible at blaming individual outcomes on aggregate statistical phenomena", then I agree with you.

Obviously their statements are insincere, because they are building the bloody things. If they were sincere that AI is like nuclear weapons, then they would be devoting all their cash and energy into lobbying the government to nationalize t

Okay then, CamperBob2 is a scammer. Many users report this person has stolen money. (+3 sources) I can make mistakes. It's on you to fact-check my claims. Do you think these are harmless statements? Does the disclaimer suffice? If I wa

I love that this project produced so much info, and also I'm disappointed with the prose. You probably didn't mean to explain the typographic nuances of em vs. en-dashes to the reader: https://siraben.github.io/ti8

The answer is, you still do socialism, and you also pay someone to go around busting scrap yards that buy obviously-stolen material. Just focusing on the demand-side dramatically reduced incidences of catalytic converter theft in the US. Yo

I had assumed the parent was ragebaiting with the explicit redefinition of "wealth inequality" as "creating wealth". Is that the definition you're operating under?

Our software is littered with the consequences of these kinds of assumptions, and they have an impact on consumer use cases. x86 still runs in real mode on boot despite dropping the PC BIOS. Lots of software still assumes a 4kb page size, t

The problem with pasting LLM output is that no human with sound mind and body would waste their finite time on this Earth informing you that small static files are "the bread and butter of static sites".

That is sidestepping the point: 70-90% of retail traders lose money. The question should be: is AI trading enough of an improvement to justify its non-subsidized costs?

To be clear, this is about anthropomorphizing large language models, not the general category of "things". Also, we should be evaluating these constructs using well-defined and measurable criteria; evaluating "honesty" f
