How can manufacturers simultaneously have exceptional control over flags and not enough control to know what flags are enabled on their shipping products? They either have that control or they don't.

The media are followers here, not leaders. 84% of people can't agree on the color blue[0]. Don't try to make excuses for a few billionaires finding the limit of their reality distortion field. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih

Bombs existed before nukes. Is anti-nuke sentiment illegitimate?

I'm not a kid, but I asked for some calvin and hobbes books for my birthday. The postmodernism laid out in the first comic of each anthology gets the main thrust across. It's a timeless piece of art. It doesn't need boosti

It would be cool if they offered some kind of prompt sanitation option.

Flash it for her. The result will be a more stable (in terms of not shitting the bed randomly one day or changing the entire UI) and decluttered portal to whatever website she uses it for.

This is the right answer. You can't fix it, only minimize your time wasted.

I tried claude again recently and the first response in troubleshooting ignored the context I gave and assumed I was a moron holding it wrong. So smart that I won't even waste my time or money on the thing. The creators want to anthr

Ah but that is expensive and introduces risk of being caught doing clandestine. It is much more convenient to just use the one already installed and accepted. In fact, put away all this physical access nonsense and just buy it from the dat

I got a freecad API script for a catfood colander / dust sieve out of gemini / cline in a single prompt supplied with 10 measurements and a good description of the vision. Printed first try, the two halves mated without issue, an

In the summary table of "proposed changes, current methodology, and result", the result column is "no change" for all rows. What rule tweak are you referring to? Edit: Ah I see it now. Separate tables for S&P cap-b

As they should have. The rules were in flight with a layover time measured in days on assets that are managed on the timescale of years. There was a legitimate reason to act urgently. It's easy to make claims in hindsight but the in

I'm more interested in the opposite. Nvidia linux drivers crash when you try to address more VRAM than you have. It'd be nice if they didn't.

Indeed. Everyone should be moving their funds out of target date funds right now and into medium and small cap stock funds. It's quite sad that the pillar of American life that is the 401k is given to shady fund managers. The law s

I see your point. In the original context of Dune Paul controls the spice because he can destroy it and his will would survive but it would destroy the way of life of the other cultures. So saying "Paul controls spice" only makes

It only requires agency from the party assuming control. There are other definitions of control in contexts other than power dynamics that are important. Like a PLL can control an oscillator frequency without the philosophical question of

You quoted me saying that humans and machines need each other the same amount and in the same breath said that I said that humans need machines more. You really shouldn't be doing this kind of thing when making the case that someone e

The fridge is a toy example. Take all machinery man has made and destroy it. Will you survive? Or live in a space ship and destroy the ship. Will you survive? Or have a pacemaker or an iron lung or dialysis. How about the simple conce

Yes but I am throwing this one out because technocrat has a very specific meaning that has never experienced a period of irrelevance while it has been in use. Plutocracy has its own word and displacing the concept of technocracy with a wor

I didn't mean it as in changing our framing enables technological progress but something we should do if we don't want to lose the control we have. e.g. if we lose all principle and intention then it doesn't really matter

Some of the themes remind me of themes mentioned in this matrix analysis. Specifically I am reminded of the Dune concept of control: "you control what you can destroy" and then asking "do you control your refrigerator?"

It's unlimited in that you can request time off at any time with no balance or speed limit. The first order justification is that it saves some money from having to pay out unused time off balances at the end of the year / tenure

I really despise when the term technocrat is misused. It has a very specific meaning in politics and is nowhere near "broligarch", "plutocrat from the tech industry", or any of the thousand different, legitimate ways to
