I fully agree with you that (overly) restrictive zoning is the root cause of at least a few serious problems we currently face. However this bit > Unless somebody stops them, they'…

Unskilled people with foolproof tools or skilled people with powerful tools. Either works. It's unskilled people with powerful tools that poses a problem.

Specifically they subconsciously think they're special - it doesn't occur to them that everyone else can also query an LLM just as easily.

> Should they not produce the findings for someone else to read/validate? No, they should not. They should not waste others time with output that they themselves do not fully under…

No, just omit the rambling in favor of a "sorry I lack the expertise to really dig into this, here's a reproducer and I'm here if you have any questions I'm able to help with". You…

It's proof of work applied to social interactions. The father back in history you go the rarer I imagine the root problem was. There's a similar conundrum with gifts. When everyone…

That's why I said "intent" as opposed to "perception". I'm implying that it's unfalsifiable not due to faulty construction but rather due to being inherently true. (Of course I rea…

Right. Obviously. What I'm pointing out is that if the kernel decided to include dynamically linking to certain drivers within its scope (which it does not wish to do at present as…

That isn't at all what I said. I'm pointing out that in reality there aren't 20 competing libc implementations each with a unique dynamic linking scheme used by the userspace of 20…

Secure the contents of the tunnel and it doesn't matter. Provide a secure backbone and it doesn't matter. Realize that dialup is so slow that you can transparently tunnel it across…

TBF the GPU thing makes a fair amount of sense if you dig into it. It arguably falls entirely outside the kernel's domain of responsibility. However given how fundamental GPU accel…

Why do you assume that PG&E has a good incentive structure, or that the public sector must necessarily have a bad one? My only objection to the preceding comment would be that stru…

I don't think your attitude here is in keeping with the guidelines (or constructive discourse for that matter). You've made a number of uncharitable assumptions about the other par…

I don't see the issue with either of those things? At least as long as they're properly secured. (Which they probably aren't but that's neither here nor there.)

Sure, there are those who ideologically oppose it in most or all scenarios. But there are also obviously those who don't exhibit such unconditional opposition to it. So what is the…

Isn't the explanation self evident? Piracy requires nonzero technical competency (not much but still), dedicated computing hardware, and a decent chunk of storage. It's a fairly lo…

Depends on if you can dredge up any examples of corporate statements authored without any intent to add spin.

> The question of whether they reason is meaningless. It is often (but not always) meaningless (or at least largely pointless) to quibble about which particular semantic bin a conc…

Even the smartest humans would end up as perpetual students but I'm not sure why that should be universally depressing.

I think that's actually the easiest part of this entire thing? Assuming you're anchored you just dangle a subsea cable directly underneath the platform. Note that there are already…

No, they really don't in this case. IIRC a sustained gigawatt of output over a 24 hour period is roughly equivalent to the sunlight absorbed by a 5 square kilometer patch of ocean …

Attempt a hostile takeover and see how long the response takes. It doesn't matter how far away the assets are if they can either make it to your position before you accomplish your…

You're trying to shift the goalposts rather than concede the point. We weren't speaking of cliquish behavior or resistance to new ideas which are indeed (unfortunately) common enou…
