> There are more people who can write code, than who cannot. Are you serious?

Not viable for long range strikes.

Human in the loop is infeasible in comms denied areas which is what we have in Ukraine/Russia right now. It's why Ukraine and Russia are now using fully autonomous drones. That's t…

My counter argument is that you only need 1% of the population to be bad apples in order to destroy a high trust society. Hell, even a single serial killer on the loose will make a…

Yeah ultrasound sucks. I have an ultrasound distance measurer and it thinks a 1.8 meter gap is 0.6 meters. Extremely inaccurate.

Clankers absolutely can run sudo if you have passwordless sudo

Yes if people don't want to play they can just do a resign vote, majority wins. No need to kick ban anyone.

What kind of problems are you trying to have it solve ?

I would far prefer getting managed C# over the Electron garbage that constitutes much of Windows nowadays.

"Winning" in this context doesn't matter because people have the freedom to choose which algorithms they want to use. Like in the same way that windows has "won" in that it has 99%…

Yeah everything is a browser app now gotta ship a whole browser engine even for a simple messaging app.

The US allowing Iran to levy a toll on Hormuz would completely discredit the US and set the precedent for other countries to levy their own shipping tolls . It's a non-starter.

Doesn't that mean that your process is then responsible for ensuring that an app with a read-only capability cannot do a write ? You're moving the burden of enforcement from the ke…

I am so tired of people talking philosophy without knowing any philosophy. So here is some Aquinas for those who want some actual substance. What is the ultimate good for humans? S…

I had a chemistry teacher who insisted that the fissile isotope of Uranium was U-238 not U-235. I challenged him on this multiple times and he refused to budge on this. I get that …

Wonderful teachers that give unreliable information with total confidence?

How would less competition make the world better?

The author might want to look into elite overproduction theory. Same thing happened in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th century. Most of the radical revolutionary groups had …
