> Meanwhile, one peak at the code and you can already see the state starting to become a bit of a spaghetti mess. So it's on par with humans, then.

Is it surprising? Google and Facebook can barely police the content their human users post.

It's kind of shitty to pirate Capture One. The full, non-subscription price is only $350, which is less than most cameras, and not a bad price for "pro level" software. I agree tha…

It happens at the same probability as anywhere else on earth.

I would have to laugh if AI's first autonomous achievement was accidentally zero-daying everything and crippling society.

It's crazy how one lucky break lets somebody spend the rest of their life throwing s*t at the wall to see what sticks to earn them more money.

Thanks! I don't think I've seen that one.

On a related note, there's a cross-platform Common Lisp package, "Bike" https://github.com/Lovesan/bike , that lets you use .Net assemblies from Common Lisp. I've used it a tiny bi…

It was a tongue in cheek complaint about their terrible apps and the user hostile way they force unwanted "features" on people. I'd pay 2x my subscription price to be able to use a…

I wish they'd buy Spotify... Keep one SRE to keep the servers running, one guy to do security updates to the app, and the team that acquires rights to music.

I think storing nuclear waste was decided to be a bad idea a long time ago. I'm not a nuclear scientist, but I was under the impression that if something is radioactive enough to b…

Nice ad-hominem. Obviously if I think lobbyists are assholes it's because I'm un-educated.

There's no reason not to blame lobbyists as well. A lobbyist saying "it's just business," doesn't excuse them for being assholes.

"Voting with your Wallet" - the American way.

I think Firefox gets hated on more than the others because they advertise putting the user in control but in practice they seem to undermine it at every opportunity. A browser that…

Pay more.

I guess I'm old and haven't paid much attention recently, but $375 for 32Gb doesn't sound that bad to me. But then again I remember spending hundreds of dollars as a high school st…

I'm surprised you can't believe it. Most companies large enough to have their own IT have monitoring and know what's going through their network. The larger the company, the more l…

Other than adding buzzwords to a features list, I don't see AI really moving the needle here. As you've said, it's always been the expectation that employers are watching over thei…

>What would be a better way to incorporate AI as a spell checker? You just don't need AI to do spell checking. It's a waste of energy, bandwidth and tokens. It's like Java Enterpri…

Annoying, but not surprising. The future is using AI to do everything, and nobody gets funded saying they're taking a small step forward.

Could have been something else then, but (in the past, at least) they would definitely reset some of the settings on every major upgrade.

There are actually multiple implementation of networking over ham radio (though not using teletext). Some of the limitations are that ham radio requires getting a license (it's eas…
