The problem is your plan hinges on you being the one and only company in your neighborhood with the "human touch". But you won't be. You'll be competing with every other human with a family who refuses to use modern tech

"Sure, robot assembly units have a much higher throughput with a much lower error rate and virtually zero risk for injury, but they lack a 'human touch'. That will be our differentiating factor." Even if one manufacturer

That's fair. The original post was suggesting corporations were actively using it for lower trade latency. That seems very unlikely. But having the technology in our back pocket for military use? That's believable. Though I think

This is what all fediverse protocols and specs gaining traction today should be designing for. Email was lucky and got their foot in the door before the dotcom era figured out about walled gardens. Now we're slowly crawling back out of

The thing is, a simple carbon tax is already designed to handle both of these cases. Burning coal/gas would have a cost proportional to the long term effects it has, and at the end of the day customers just see a price of electricity.

> Run locally on browser – no need to install any applications That's not what "run locally" means. This isn't any more "local" than talking to chatgpt directly, which is never running locally.

Also, git doesn't work p2p, it uses centralized servers. If i understand correctly, the only real difference between Twitter and this is that you have your data downloaded, so switching to a new platform is a matter of adding a new rem

We would see decisions being made that aren't physically possible with current technology. Also the number of people who would need to keep something like this a secret would be on par with that of a fake moon landing. If their applica

Someone below mentioned that the important part isn't that it tiles aperiodically, but that it ONLY tiles aperiodically. There are simpler shapes that will tile both aperiodically and periodically.

Your comment only applies to the LLMs of today. Consider how much more bullshit the best natural language bot generated 10 years ago. The bullshit produced is dropping at an incredible rate. In a few short years we could very well have high

Correct. The original phrasing is a question of universality, the new phrasing is one of existence. Gpt4 continued to explain the joke in terms of the former when it should have been able to adjust for the latter. It has never heard the lat

Yes. And as long as this relationship only works in this direction, China has no incentive to cooperate. If Chinese citizens were also able to buy US products for cheap because they used Chinese tech while ignoring licenses, then China woul

We would be operating under the assumption that our current licensing law is ideal. Meanwhile, China/other countries will benefit from new products that we are too principled to use. Over time, what do you think will happen to the half

For distros marketed as desktop alternatives to windows or mac, it means a lot, because most of those users are going to install and run it without changing much at all. Especially if it comes preinstalled on a budget laptop.

Banking isn't intended to be a risk, though. That's literally the point of FDIC insurance. Idk why I'm even bothering making an argument when your opening argument is ad hominem.

Wait so, you're in favor of the bank being bailed out here? The phrase "too big to fail" doesn't mean it's impossible for it to fail; that's not a thing. It means the govt/public feeling obligated to bail

This statement doesn't make sense to me: > Its against the interest of the greater economy to bail out those who didnt take any risk either. Because it socializes the risk while privatizing the reward. In the first sentence you say
