It’s not hard to find out what’s being pirated, BitTorrent isn’t private.

If you don’t think centralized currency controlled by neo-liberal capitalist states isn’t a problem to solve, we aren’t even in the same plane here.

friend of mine had a ford like this. and it cost more than the car to fix after only 10-15ish years of use. its terrible.

Yeah, that’s just how it goes as the engine becomes more complex, leaving a dipstick there is not gonna change that…

This is a reactionary response, you’re just arguing, slow down a bit.

Do you see a value in a check engine light that tells you something is wrong in between full inspections? This is similar, this is telling you there isn’t enough oil and damage is occurring before you get a chance to inspect the dipstick.

It’s not planned obsolescence unless they also make it unreasonable to service. We already expect to routinely service engines, and they are already very complex and full of sensors, sure this is adding to the complexity but it’s relatively pretty minor.

The argument being made, and I agree with it, is that the benefits of an additional long-serving sensor way outweigh the con of having one additional sensor in your car. You get early warning before damage occurs, you get built in fraud protection when you’re changing your oil at a shady chain, you eliminate a direct access port for dirt to contaminate the oil.

Just because it’s built on a block chain doesn’t mean they relinquished control and decentralized it. But it’s a platform that allows you to decentralize.

Is this worth it as an upgrade to our existing centrally controlled currency? That’s a different discussion.

Does it solve the problem blockchain provides a solution for? Does it allow for decentralization? It appears the answer is no.

I was hoping to find an answer the original question in this dialog.

There’s a difference between saying “the secure enclave holds the biometric data securely and locally in a verifiable way with no mechanism to retrieve the actual data” and “trust them, don’t worry about it”

Wether the teachers are a personal ai or a single human does not change that. Schools provide way more then just “a teacher”

That’s like exactly what he says, you just restated his take…

The laser didn’t generate 2 quadrillion watts like a power plant would generate electricity, but it delivered that much power in an extremely short pulse, like 20 quadrillionths of a second.

That means the energy it delivered was relatively small (a few hundred joules), but because it was delivered in such a tiny time window, the power (which is energy per unit time) was immense.

The laser did produce power, in the form of intense light and heat, over a very small time period. It converted 2 quadrillion watts of electric energy into a very brief laser pulse.

The original WSL doesn’t use the Linux kernel at all, it’s a Windows Subsystem for compatibility with Linux. WSL2 actually visualizes a complete Linux kernel, but the name stuck.

Are you suggesting an alternative motive for Microsoft that does beyond profit?

This is already a solved problem, we’re well past one model systems, and any competitive AI offering can augment its information from the Internet.

Is you want to understand the spirit of the rules, look no further past the first one:

Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular.

Why Jewish in particular? How is “equal rights for all people” compatible with “one group of people in particular”?

Jewish supremacism, Israel and Zionism is Jewish ISIS, and trying to hide that part of Israel and punish any discourse around that problem is fascism.

They may let you call Israel fascist in passing, but they won’t let you describe its fascism, that is the bannable offense.

It’s okay to be wrong.

You assemble the same soulless food everyday and you actually feel fulfilled by assembling croutons differently every day?

Hey, I can’t imagine the process not becoming muscle memory and for my brain to not be somewhere else completely, but you sprinkle salt off your elbow if that gives you joy.

The first paragraph is a fantasy.

In this restaurant, where the chef was replaced by a salad machine, the “chef” was a human salad machine before. There was no time to play with garnish and playing, they weren’t serving Michelin star food. The term “chef” is used very liberally here, you aren’t a chef if the only thing you cook at a restaurant is assemble salad that a machine can do to the same standard.

They were assembling salads, it wasn’t a dream job.

Yes, Gemini is their “AI” brand.

They are overlapping areas, but they are “two completely different things”. They overlap by sharing common goals, not by being interchangeable.

Anonymity to me means the message recipient can’t tell who you are.

Right. And Signal doesn’t provide that at all, it ties your private messages to your identity (phone number), it explicitly does not provide anonymity. In fact, it proudly advertises you as a signal user to other signal users that have your number saved. It allows you to post public status updates, it encourages you to save your first and last name on your account.

If a THIRD PARTY (the server operator) can ALSO tell who you are, that’s a privacy failure, not just an anonymity one.

Okay? And? In this hypothetical world where Signal offered anonymity but still tied you to your number for other practical reasons, then you’re be correct that it would be a privacy concern.

But they don’t offer anonymity, they offer private conversations.

Yes, yes, you named the benefits and convenience of a centralized system.

Federalized systems require individual federated maintenance, and that comes with some challenges, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world if the random videos you uploaded to youtube that never get any views eventually disappeared… Maybe the planet shouldn’t bear the burnt of indefinitely holding those videos in replicated backed up storage forever. Maybe that’s not valuable data we need for future civilizations.

What if a valuable creator dies and noone is there to run their instance? These are important things to consider and think through so we can solve them. Maybe the answer is a community driven peer node replication?

These aren’t unsolvable hurdles, they’ve been solved already.

Real world development isn’t creating exciting apps all the time, it’s writing the same exact boring convention based code sticking to an established pattern.

It can be really boring and unchallenging to create your millionth respiratory, or you can prompt your ide to create a new repo and with one sentence it will create stub out 10 minutes worth of tedious prep work. It makes programming fun again.

In one prompt, it can look at my finished code and stub out half decent documentation that otherwise wouldn’t have been completed at. It does hallucinate sometimes, or it completely misunderstands the code, so you have to correct a few sentences, but the brain drain of coming to with the sentence structure to write useful documentation is completely lifted, and the code is now well documented.

AI programming is more than just vibe coding, and it’s way more useful than everyone here insists it’s not.
