He will likely die in prison, either from old age, poor conditions or shenanigans. He could have fled, but chose not to. Calling him a martyr isn't too much of a stretch.

He's not being imprisoned for being a capitalist, engaging in capitalism, or anything of the like. This is a pretty lame take.

Has this actually been tried? Plenty of people have released AI generated (in part or nearly whole) media as their own, especially in music and fiction literature. Personally, I'd love to see most of this stuff disappear from services

Text, phone calls and emails which are not encrypted are the equivalent of a postcard. They don't need to seize the effects, only observe them. Encrypting, end to end, would be the equivalent of posting a letter. The contents are conce

This justification comes up when discussing therapy too. To take it to an extreme, it's basically saying "people already get little or bad advice, we might as well give them some more bad advice." I simply don't buy it.

It's a fundamentally flawed analogy. Leo's apprentices learned and improved. They studied under a master and faced serious repercussions if they bullshitted about their ability or what they had accompolished. LLM capabilities are

It is? I don't think I've had a problem with that in years, though I tend to avoid Dell and a few other manufacturers.

I agree with the other comments that this sentence is just poorly written. In cities people tend to not make eye contact while walking by each other, though in smaller towns it is more common to acknowledge each other in passing. In neither

The problem is that, in any organization past a few people, someone will eventually wonder if they were the inspiration for a particular name, and not in a good way, or someone might introduce politics or something else divisive. It's

It's more like your favorite fancy restaurant has a few dishes that suck. Instead of putting time into improving table service, fixing up the menu, maybe getting some aspects of service up to standards, they decided that every meal now

You can't really dig into a model you don't control. At least by running locally, you could in theory if it is exposed enough. The focused purpose, I think, gives it more of a "purpose built tool" feel over "a chatb

It's an obvious implication by specifically calling out capitalism when discussing the difference between theory and practice.

Your question didn't include the words automated or tools, and your incomplete "where, how, which" was ambiguous enough to apply to the idea of password rotation generally rather than the tool's interactions with them.

Ah yes, only capitalism suffers from corruption.

The last time I asked it to write something in a programming language, it put together a class that seemed reasonable at first blush, but after review found it did not do what it was supposed to do. The tests were even worse. They exercised

It is definitely still relevant. A friend showed me two products- one from a US manufacturing company he worked for, and one on alibaba- that were practically identical. One was designed and developed, the other an illegal rip off. The lack

Western politicians did it to us. China was allowed into the WTO but never held to any of the rules. It is still treated with kid gloves by governments as if it were a developing country despite the fact that it hasn't needed such trea

Presumably you'd want human habitable atmosphere on the inside of the sphere, which would radically change the equation against the use of wood unfortunately.

Copyright has nothing to do with banning technology. It is a set of rules around a particular kind of property rights. There are things you can do with technology that are banned as a result of copyright protections, but the underlying tech

This thread moved the conversation away from the posted article quite a few messages ago. First, Rust has lots of checks that C and assembly don't, and AI benefits from those checks. Then, a post about those checks are related to memor

It isn't like rust is the only language with memory safety; plenty of high level languages don't let you fiddle with memory bits in a way that would be unsafe. The tradeoff is that they typically come with garbage collectors. If t

This article has so many things wrong with it, it is hard to know where to start. The core assumption, I suppose, is that this is a sign of collapse because the systems and institutions worked before. Unfortunately for the author, it's

> All it takes is tax on the extremely wealthy and lessening taxes on the middle class… seems obvious right? You could tax 100% of all of the top 1%'s income (not progressively, just a flat 100% tax) and it'd cover less than do
