I think most intelligent people are going to model out the expected outcome of their career choices at least intuitively. If becoming a cop more likely leads to ruin it will be less attractive to the kinds of people who think ahead.

Seems to work fine on Linux unless you stick to kernels that are multiple decades old.

Whether it's technical or social the situation on iOS is clearly inferior.

You think ending qualified immunity would attract intelligent people?

We couldn't make an iPhone because apple would refuse to cooperate, not because of a technical limitation. We could make a similarly capable phone though.

If there's one product we have domestic alternatives to it's semiconductors. We're a couple nodes behind TSMC. Using US only foundries or paying a premium for TSMC is not the end of the world.

It's really training not inference that drains the lakes.

The way most of you define "fascism" America has always been fascist with a brief perturbation where we tried Democracy and some Communism.

If you see it that way this is just a reversion to the mean.

Hard to feel bad for Apple when a lot of this is about locking customers out of their own devices and then cheaping out with contract manufacturing. I almost want to cheer on the employees doing this.

My cabin (I don't live there full time currently) has starlink's $10/month plan where you pay by the gigabyte. LTE isn't even an option because the topography kills terrestrial radio.

Starlink completely changed rural internet. It's revolutionary.

I'm always surprised by this complaint. Xterm mutt fvwm etc all work the same today as they did 25 years ago. Meanwhile the Windows UI is radically different now than it was on Windows 98.

In most states the women aren't allowed to completely strip so it would actually be better than a strip club.

The prompt has to be precisely the same for that to work (and of course now you have to have an embedding hashmap which is its own somewhat advanced problem.) I doubt they do that especially given the things I've heard from API users.

You don't think OF has an application for realtime photogrammetry?

You take these classes in order to internalize the intuition for the subject. That's the point of the class. Getting the right answers is only important insofar as it serves that goal.

Your attitude makes sense in engineering but not in a math class for example.

I think the issue is that local LLMs are improving so fast even if the free hosted ones disappeared today most people probably wouldn't pay.

We had to do something like this although IIRC we didn't have to go all the way.

The GPU shortage will suddenly be solved at least.

Just because you don't know you're being racist doesn't mean you aren't being racist. That's what systematic racism means.

How is opposing DEI not ideologically aligned with the nazis? As I pointed out not trying to correct white overrepresentation is racism.

All user agents are robots, some just have an associated person. Ban UAs that abuse the network but beyond that there's really nothing you can practically do if you actually want a website.

Those are the choices now.

Software has to be developed entirely (or practically so. European descendant people are ~15% of the global population so representation above that size is clear systemic/latent racism) by Africans or you're a Nazi. No compromise is possible or moral.

I wish you understood what I wrote.

The US also has Discover/Capital One and American Express and if you live in some of the nicer parts people still take checks.

I was lectured by Jewish (they made a big deal out of it, not me) consultants at my last job about how to implement DEI and they completely disagree with you.

Free speech the idea applies to everyone. Free speech the implementation applies to the state's delegation of power to the federal government via the constitution.

Most of this comment is a non sequitur. Giving people money doesn't change how many arms they have. I have my own unique struggles in life, maybe you owe me money for those.

If I could find a way to live without working I absolutely would. Nothing "sucks ass" like stressing over some corporation's made up problems you're not properly empowered to solve.

People aren't brains in jars connected to inconvenient bodies, humanity is inherently biological.

Social welfare was crushing the workforce to begin with. That has never been a good idea.

I think it's fine. People who don't appreciate their own species for its own sake get what they want and those of us who actually want to socialize can be more intentional and direct about it.
