Land ownership is theft. Why should people have a right in perpetuity to the land that we all share?

It's quite rare for that to be the case, at least in the English speaking side of the Vtubing world. I can really only think of one example.

Consider there's a strong selection bias at play in your experiences. The ones most at risk of falling into a trap like this are the ones who are likely least visible to others. Also yes, I think it will be worse for women but I'm not 100% certain.

SV is going to learn that society is allowed to reject technology and the sun will still rise tomorrow.

The sun may still rise, but the stock market may not.

There will be soon, I hope.

Just from the title I didn't even realize this would be a post about AI. I thought it was going to be about using Git in your IDE or other git UI tooling.

This piece was better than I anticipated. Much of it has been said before of course, but the Minsky framing was novel enough to me. I think the author is a bit late even. What is Trump's presidency if not a "withdrawal of legitimacy" of the social order in the US?

I personally think that frontier LLMs are already at the point where I trust them to be a better judge of human behavior than humans overall.

I meant from the Americas

It's funny how remigration never involves sending white folk back to europe.

And importantly, they have the finances to support that R&D expenditure taking longer than expected to be recouped. The same situation with a small company would be very different than a company with solid income elsewhere.

I think most of the non-success outcomes involve an objectively bad experience, regardless of the price. Example of that would be a buggy system that feels more like a cut down PC than a console. From reviews, we see that this outcome doesn't seem to be the case.

The other potential failure outcomes involve selling the product at a loss, or tying up too much cash in it and having liquidity issues while stock moves. Valve's cash flow is likely excellent, we know they're not selling it at a loss and we know they aren't producing too many.

So overall, the possible outcomes all seem like different degrees of success.

A lot of people desire their own oppression, so I don't think democracy is inherently anti-fascist.

The law protects but does not bind corporations while binding but not protecting individuals.

This is why threat modelling is essential. What are you trying to defend against and by whom?

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

This is standard in my country. Seemingly as a consequence, eSIMs require physically going to a store to be activated (on the telco side), which has always seemed insane to me.

The only time text-to-SCAD has ever worked for me was when Claude (the app, not even Claude Code) decided spontaneously to spin up an environment and check the renderings of its SCAD code. That session lead to something 90-95% of the way to the finished product, and in some ways even surpassing my expectations by looking up measurements for relevant products instead of using placeholders.

Modifying the prompt and then trying it again did not lead to that self-verification loop and the output was unusable garbage.

I can't see the Steam Machine costing under $1k right now, and I expect it to be closer to $1200.

The people doing the actual work should have secretaries, not managers.

Probably a UBI-like approach? At least insofar as it changes the power dynamic in the employer/employee relationship.

There's so much variety in hybrids that's hard to discuss as a single category.

I think the most important question is whether the system requires a regular automatic/manual transmission or forgoes one entirely. The Toyota planetary gear system forgoes one, as does the modern Honda and Nissan approaches. Not having a transmission in the traditional sense saves so much complexity that the overall system is net simpler imo even with the additional complexity from having a motor and engine.

Then there are systems that have a full automatic drivetrain and some extra clutches to couple to a motor-generator. And there's even systems with an electronically controlled manual transmission instead. Those systems are going to be incredibly complex and fragile.

Can't we just use the version of the codebase from before that change?

Almost a decade ago, I wrote and published a small companion app for a game and set a hard rule for myself that it didn't need the internet permission (and thus stuff like a privacy policy). It still managed to be useful despite that, which made me pretty proud at the time.

Higher oil prices makes renewables even more competitive, so this is another situation where the extreme left and extreme right may agree.

I know it's less likely, but I think the party who made the error may have actually been the attorneys representing the state and Bradley

Quoting the article:

In court filings, attorneys representing the state and Bradley have argued Holland's lawsuit should be dismissed as the trooper has "sovereign immunity" as a member of law enforcement, and that it was a "lawful" traffic stop.

So you trust a build they say doesn't have AI features, but not a switch that they say turns off the AI features? Doesn't seem like a logically consistent stance to me.

Plus, you can just packet sniff and see if they're doing anything AI related when the switch is off.

I wonder if it will one day be practical to emulate photosynthesis and use renewable power, captured CO2 and water to produce biofuel that could then be used at a later time.

The choice of example task for Long-Horizon Coding is a bit spooky if you squint, since it's nearing the territory of LLMs improving themselves.
