How many times can we read the same article and have the same discussion? If AI is not useful, people will not use the product or feature and it will die. If it is useful, people will use it.

There's simply no technical solution to authenticating photographs as far as I can tell. The only real solution I can think of is just to have multiple independent parties photograph the same event and use social trust. Luckily this s

It's interesting that no one in this thread seems to use ChatGPT particularly deeply to understand why this is useful. I think this is very interesting, I don't particularly love Chrome, so a version of Chrome that more deeply int

Well, except he directly caused the debt to go up, and killed hundreds of thousands of people, while being really awful to everyone. I know it is tempting to think this isn't true if you're in an info bubble, but unfortunately it

I recommend leaving it on the default settings. It's fine after a while, and I like a lot of the simplification. But I would rather they function on making their software actually work or be good, even if I like playing with the refrac

Fundamentally, the issue is that only a small number of people know what free/"libre" software is, and only a small subset of those people think it is a good tradeoff. For that reason alone, there's just not going to be

Not sure what to tell you, if there's a problem you have to speak up.

If that's true, all you have to do is convince other people that it's true and they can just vote for someone to deploy that money. Don't need to wait for someone else to do it.

Yeah two unpopular wars he did not start and spent a lot of effort figuring out how to get out of. He ended one and his vice president later ended the other.

It's very important to realize that it isn't true that DOGE didn't "do much". It's just that what they did was kill hundreds of thousands to millions of people worldwide.

Of course that's the answer, it's just people don't want to do that.

This performance issue aside, which I haven’t noticed, a friend recently commented about the quality of Apple’s native apps that he would strongly prefer an Electron app for all of them because it’s a sign that they might actually work in a

I don't understand the threat model of this for most Unity games on PC, it doesn't seem like there's anything you could do by running arbitrary code inside the Unity player that you couldn't already run on your PC direct
