I assume they need these models to stop being replaced in 1-2 months though.

It wasn't so long ago in America that having a private email server was actually the main complaint about a presidential candidate. Everyone knows that they all do it one way or another.

We joke but you know there will be AI Judges on reality TV soon enough.

Were pie and punch served?

Sure, no problem there and good examples of what I mean.

We can enjoy them for what they are. A bunch of fans arguing online doesn’t detract from the majority who will just play the game and enjoy it.

It’s the second remake for OoT (it had a DS version as well). It holds similar status to FF7 in that it was the first 3D version of its franchise and brought a lot of new blood into the fanbase.

No reasonable person walked out of a Blockbuster thinking they permanently owned a rented film. There are plenty of transfers of currency without implied ownership.

Having the survivors of the Great Depression around was amazing as far as mindsets go. I miss those folks.

Our daughter went the bathtub route when we unscrewed the lights in her room. Was proud of her but thankfully she started getting to sleep eventually.

Sounds like the epitome of amazing for its time but not a powerful computer.

2003 is, though. Apologies if I missed anything but a quick ctrl-f on the articles didn't find anything for 2013.

The cancellation fee is usually the part that's buried.

Only if you ignore the banking industry.

For the future, yes. The past is binary. Unless you meant from the angle of time not existing, in which case I don't recall the modeling.

Those who remember the time before a new technology will always have a different world view than those raised with it. Some of us will prefer it, some of us won’t. Eventually no one will remain who remembers. That’s just how humanity works.

Regardless of the time, people have always happily accepted more.

I imagine in order to really notice this in the course of your routine, you'd usually be either maintaining open source repos (exposed to the vast amounts of AI-driven PRs), or submitting PRs to open source regularly.

Sounds like it's the already known "being overweight raises your biological age" and they're just acknowledging the inverse.

You can only know something is wiped out, and thus that it was being wiped out, after the fact. Anything else is a statistical guess.

I try to emphasize with everyone. I fail, more often than I succeed.

> But for many developers, this sounds like fun! Think of how much you learn as you start building this thing.

I got a good chuckle when my brain finished this sentence with "and promptly forget so that you can learn it all over again years later the next time you need to touch that topic".

You’re drawing a line between physical and emotional/mental addiction. You are correct that they differ. That doesn’t imply one is not an addiction. It’s similar to comparing the levels of Maslow’s hierarchy.

So would banning air travel, but such an example is purely to highlight how subjective “a win for society” is.

Sorry, but what way do you think I feel about pot? I was just providing anecdotal examples to explain the reasoning of why pot being legal could have an impact on demand for wine. It’s just a demand curve relationship, not my personal opinions on the legality of pot.

For the pot smokers who care about legality, it does matter for folks who have to take drug tests for their jobs. Several of my good friends stopped using it when that was a concern.

I believe they mean having alternative choices in what one can legally consume to get high/drunk/etc. Anecdotally I know a few folks who went from illegal pot in high school to wine as adults because it is more socially acceptable, then back to pot when legal.

While technically incorrect, tree is informally used to describe grape vines in some regions. Similar to “tomato plants” which is a more common example.

Reminds me of the old adage that if a famous person from the ancient world were alive today, they'd either be very, very old -- or not famous.

It's a product of the times. You have some folks who are really passionate about the craft of software, some folks to whom it's just a job, and an entire culture that promotes and incentivizes engagement through raw emotional connection (outrage, passion, pick an emotion).

What you don't see from most perspectives are the silent masses who simply don't engage, don't care about the discussion, and/or are too busy doing what they enjoy.

I didn’t demand anything. I requested some proofs since this thread is quite literally about a claim that requires proofs. As evidenced by the further comments in the thread. If you disapprove of the conversation, please feel free to use the tools and move on. No hard feelings!
