so do you just use su?

Although he starts with "Lest anyone accuse me of bargaining in bad faith here," I feel that this is a bad faith argument. It seems like he's saying, "we don't need to be worried about malevolent superintelligence, since AI is already doing bad things, and corporations were doing bad things even before AI." But one can believe corporations are bad, current AI is bad, and malevolent superintelligence is a serious concern.

The article later clarifies that the actual crime was to post extensive screenshots and descriptions of movies on his blogs, to such detail that it was essentially like reading a picture-book adaptation of the movie. This is really not the same as "posting spoilers."

It'd be great if this moves developers to consider optimizing for lower-end connections.

> Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Science and ICT Bae Kyunghoon said the scheme is needed because citizens can’t do without access to online services

So indeed it actually is intended to make online services necessary.

He was not blogging under his real name. Scott Alexander is not his real name.

Meant to be free of cultural preconceptions, but it uses 24-hour division.

There might be a natural, Schelling division to use -- the same ratio year:day could be applied, day:minute. Thus, the day can be broken up into 365.25 "Schelling-minutes" (corresponds to 3.94 SI minutes), and further into 365.25^2 "Schelling-seconds" (corresponds to 0.65 SI seconds). I think it's interesting that we get something not too distant from our own minutes and seconds if we do this.

Of course, for practical daily usage, lacking anything similar to an hour would be a problem. A "half-division" might be in order; that is, √365.25, or roughly 19.11 divisions of the day. Sure, that's close enough to SI hours... but it's probably worth remembering that there's a reason we don't like to use fractional divisions. :P

do they mean move "to" detroit...?

telling someone not to use corporate speech is policing their language.

"Being able to install software is why was why I switched to Android"

This doesn't make sense to me. iOS and Android (and HarmonyOS) all allow you to "install software".

> “At no time did they question the intent of my visit," he said. "They never challenged that whatsoever.”

I wonder how they knew. Social media?

In principle he could use alternative tools, like libdragon, but he said even if he did that it was unlikely Valve would permit it, as Nintendo would still be antagonized somehow. And Valve it seems wants to improve their relationship with Nintendo (See: Valve blocked Dolphin on steam, and took down a video showing yuzu installed on the steam deck).

Just as cis women can have the SRY gene, so too can trans women not have it.

I thought it might do better if I asked it to do long-form multiplication specifically rather than trying to vomit out an answer without any intermediate tokens. But surprisingly, I found it doesn't do much better.

Nice. Please add support for NES.

to clear up a misconception for everyone, systemd doesn't do age verification. it just lets you set age restrictions on accounts. It's very sensible.

music players were often essential for my ability to stay focussed on my work and reading.

Outer Wilds is the best in class for this genre, IMO.

What constitutes social media?

I hope xkcd does a comic about it

Sadly this does not force phone vendors to allow bootloader unlocking.

There are a lot of ps5 hardware features like shared memory between cpu and gpu which I'm not sure games could take advantage of without being specially coded for it.

That was a 10:1 ratio of job openings to those seeking employment. That's not at all indicative of a 10:1 ratio of jobs to devs.

I would add some lerp-smoothing to the position of the cursor/touch, since it's a bit rigid. Click-drag-release often doesn't result in a fling but rather a sharp drop.

Lovely idea by the way.

I would rather like to see a fully modern rendition of this text. Even as English-first-language, I still find this hard to understand.

I think the causality is reversed. I have depression+ADD which has made life very difficult for me, but Claude allows me to be productive by helping me get organised and started on tasks, something normally very difficult for me.

I saw someone else using this feature. It does more than just be a chat bot. You can direct it to automate tasks like go to a web page, search for stuff, etc. -- I asked it to go to pinterest and download the top ten images for "cyberpunk," and it succeeded. Nifty I suppose.

It's more like if eating guano became a fad, and restaurants started offering guano dishes, and this one said "OK we'll still have guano on the menu because it is popular with some patrons, but we'll have a separate menu with no guano options at all for those who want to be sure they're not getting any."

What's his secret to eternal youth? He's 50 now but he still looks 25.

Parents can't easily prevent their kids from going to those kinds of stores once they're at the age where the parent doesn't need to keep an eye on them all the time and they can travel about on their own.

The difference though is that parents are generally the ones to give their kids their phones and devices. These devices could send headers to websites saying "I'm a kid" -- but this system doesn't exist, and parents apparently don't use existing parental controls properly or at all.
