It's well known that what you're doing actually uses more water and detergent.

This administration banned states from legislating AI, then turns around and does draconian measures like this. None of them care about states rights, they just want to control thi…

2K is 10 years of a Claude Pro subscription, which also gives you better models...

I'm curious how the relative difficulty between the problems can be assessed when no one knows how to solve any of them.

No they aren't, they can't even manage a vending machine.

That's Google forcing you to publish your app publicly, not the EU. If they allow you to side load you won't need to make the app publicly available and so won't need a privacy pol…

You mention Microsoft at the same time that multiple EU governments are moving away from Windows and Microsoft Office and recommending businesses to do the same.

They're more like comparing Movies to TikTok.

Your last two sentences are contradictory. That is a very significant difference. Another significant difference is how useful the standard library of each language is, so that you…

No, because Rust has a standard library that covers the basics enough to not push you to start adding decencies as quickly.

Depends on what you mean, if using batching technologies like Lightning Network it is theoretically unlimited. If you mean on the globally replicated and stored forever blockchain,…

That usually ends up as proxies to the upstream repos, because the people managing the company repos don't have time to review every new version of a package. At that point you're …

I was with you until the talk about risk. Low level employees are always taking far bigger risks in relative terms, the worse position a CEO will be in if all of his "risk" hits hi…

Actually I have the best model, but I'm afraid to release it because it's so dangerous.

But it will run into so many more broken commits...

Most packages don't become unsafe just because they were released a week ago.

JS as a language is part of the problem because the standard library is so minimal that people need to use a lot more 3rd party libraries than they would in most popular languages.…

Windows is a small part of their revenue on purpose, because the OS monopoly enables them to sell and push a lot of their other revenue streams. Windows has always been easy to pir…

Funny how the start of your scale, 1200 Elo, is essentially what I have as a goal and am not even close yet, lol.

I'm old enough to remember people in Iraq cheering for the fall of Saddam. Didn't make it great.

There was a large scale self-reported study in November of 2024. It was actually way over 30%, if you ignore non-respondents.

That was 2014, there have been multiple elections since then, with multiple winners and international observers.

Libya was a UN Security Council resolution, doesn't get any more legit than that.

How is that a technical hurdle if they obviously were able to do it before? It's probably just a question of cost/benefit analysis, it's very expensive to do, so the benefits need …

You're describing planned and unplanned economies, which aligns somewhat with capitalism and state communism but is not the defining feature of them. The main difference is ownersh…
