Could we locally prevent acidification somehow? A deacidifider?

These days it looks a lot like just sending each other memes back and forth on social media.

This kind of thing is for rich people who want to LARP as cyberpunk homeless people for a while.

If an AI doesn’t hallucinate you run into another problem: you start to suspect that the output was copied whole cloth from some other source somewhere and is being passed off as novel.

Surveillance cameras could just put everything in focus at all times.

If you do that coffee will still pour out of the spout quite weirdly, not like it does on Earth. Very annoying.

Yea, I think I will build a plug-in that will automatically quote the comment you reply to and the author just to exactly prevent these kinds of situations.

Sorry to tell you, but once you post it on Reddit, the content is no longer yours. Not your content, not your choice.

by xwdv 3y ago
Reddit is especially bad about this. I’m tired of seeing deleted posts leaving tattered conversations where you can hardly tell what someone is talking about. Content you post online should be as immutable as possible.

TVs in bars is a billion dollar industry.

Cable TV will still be around for commercial settings.

This isn’t unique to tech debt. It’s all debt. Many people can’t be fucked to pay certain debts. Medical bills? I don’t give a fuck, if my insurance didn’t cover it you’re shit out of luck. No I’m not logging into some website and putting i

It is “harmful” advice, not bad. Regardless, why should it sit on the front page of hackernews?
135.
by xwdv 3y ago
If it is truly harmful, it shouldn’t be sitting at the top of Hackernews. Let’s flag it.

The market can stay irrational longer than individuals can stay unhoused. Endure, they will cave eventually. They always cave.

I honestly think veterinarians should just be a luxury for richer people who want to spend extravagant amounts on healthcare for their pets. If you’re a common person, and your pet gets some illness, then that’s it: you need to expect your

Self hosted and versioned FTP drives represent true power, like the stone buildings that stand for centuries. A dropbox subscription is the shitty McMansion that falls apart after 10 years.

by xwdv 3y ago
Until they die, relatively soon. 100 years from now Dropbox will be a distant memory, but locally mounted FTP directories under version control will be alive and well.

I think I’ve just solved the problem of what to do with people who lose their jobs because of AI. Imagine a power plant that is just vast rows and rows of stationary bicycles. We can pay people to ride the bikes and produce energy to power

The class of problems that falls under the category of movement of matter is fairly trivial. Repairing severed nerves is more like an entropy-reversal class problem. I don’t think we could even put a sufficiently broken tea cup back togethe

All the luxury and comfortable stuff we buy in life is basically just to help cope with life until our eventual death.

Wow so you could just be paying a bank forever.

I think it’s fine to ban first and ask questions later. If we find out later we shouldn’t have done it we’ll just lift the ban.

Even if you forget, you can just rollback to a snapshot.

The software stack is: SSH. Postgres on Amazon RDS.

by xwdv 3y ago
I did something similar, but instead of building out a whole app I just insert data into a Postgres database directly. It turns out if you know SQL, you don’t need any kind of frontend really to manage your business. Coming up with new feat

How is it pure loss? They can just sieze the house and sell it off to recover their losses. The owner can go kick rocks.

So essentially if you break a metal rod in space you can just stick the broken ends back together and it fuses up again.

I wish Canadians would chime in on what exactly they do when that scenario comes. Is there going to be a flood of people selling homes that have become too expensive to make mortgage payments on? Or will they just eat shit because they have
