    Prison is clearly not a deterrent to violent criminals. Let the psychopaths do whatever to them. 100% sure the rate of violent crime drops precipitously when medieval punishment is…

    The scam is usually a phone call from a loved one in jail or the hospital. It immediately creates a sense of panic and fully explains the random phone number. The voice doesn't hav…

    Yes, but the strategy is a lost cause as we're seeing. In virtually any other situation, companies would be able to successfully grease politicians. The problem for AI companies is…

    If someone accuses you of using AI because of em-dashes, reply with something condescending like "I'm sorry you were poorly educated, but some of us can and do read books." It does…

    Yes, had SCOTUS ruled differently in Citizens United, the scope of the ruling would have likely been narrowly focused. Every time SCOTUS makes a ruling, there are thousands of extr…

    The problem isn't so much investors losing money, it's if this kills the economy. A lot of elites are now unemployed with nothing better to do thanks to AI. Historically speaking, …

    This would mean that all media companies in the US would be prevented from publishing anything that could be perceived as negative about any candidate running for elected office, r…

    I don't think there will be any bailouts for these AI companies. There's no political will to do so in both parties. The grizzly alternative is a DeFlock movement, but instead of c…

    I could see someone sadly taking their own life over this.

    For languages, I'd say Gleam and OxCaml are going to become more and more popular on here. Not sure what else. In the industry, Ruby often (but not always) pairs with Rails. Ruby+R…

    Pointing out hypocrisy is a losing strategy in politics. I implore you to continue with this strategy.

    Gavin Newsom should take a page from all the LinkedIn CEOs and force Claude down everyones throats or be dismissed. I don't live in California, but speeding up the government with …

    My guillotine & rope startup is going to make a killing (no pun intended).

    This is not true. It is fast as a general purpose hash table, but claiming it's the fastest across all datasets and workloads is silly.

    The government is not going to enforce this, the game theory does not work in their favor. The SCOTUS has made it exceptionally clear mathematics and software are protected by the …

    In service to the point, if you're _really_ smart—like definitely going to grad school smart—you apply to universities with the best faculty for your intended area of study. Often …

    If it's been 10+ years and an employer wants your SAT scores, 1600 is as good an answer as any. Anyone asking for that data point doesn't actually care about the accuracy, they jus…
