Would AI tokens count as a kind of prepaid micropayment?

Okay, new topic then. Have you heard of InstaPot? ;)

Are we using the same kind of bidet? Or maybe we have to very different diets?

For me they're a huge upgrade.

Kind of. It weakly repels Gnome users.

Whoa, careful with your verb tenses! You just wrote a ghost story :)

Those things were delicious.

I suppose it depends on the kinds of mistakes to which one is prone.

Agreed. I especially cringed at the author's example of mixing that with "sudo".

Maybe it's a bit like current C++ language spec:

There's enough complexity in the language spec that most people stick with a (fairly shared) subset.

Bash can be very powerful, but IMHO there's a certain point where I find it saner to accomplish the same thing via Python.

Maybe they meant life insurers, not health insurers?

Even better.

It's web-scale.

For what it's worth, I think I understood your original post as you intended it.

(Just mentioning this so you know the wording wasn't universally confusing.)

You might want to reconsider using "gypped" in that way.

(looks at Secretary of the Treasury...)

"SCOOOTTTTT !!!!!!"

"As of 4:47 PST / 11:47 UTC the errors "

From Wikipedia: "The Pacific Time Zone (PT) is a time zone encompassing the western United States and northwestern Mexico. Places in this zone observe standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−08:00). During daylight saving time, a time offset of UTC−07:00 is used instead."

When did this confusion become so prevalent?

> There's a lot to criticise of every country, but we're trying. The US is not trying (*)

I'd argue that it's a bit misleading to treat the US as a single entity for this topic.

The population is deeply divided on issues like this one.

Not sure, but I would 100% buy a copy of your family cookbook.

Just imagine the titles you could use.

The "stupid" question is generating a lot of interesting conversation.

Yeah, I really like Slashdot's approach to both regular and meta moderation.

I don't understand why it never caught on elsewhere.

Honest question:

If you have no evidence, then why do you believe it?

It does now, apparently.

One of the comments provides an archive link to the story.

I was kind of able to read that on my Android phone, but something on the page made panning really janky so I gave up.

Most of us who build weapons of war live with some awful dilemmas. One of them is:

We want to perform our work skillfully, effectively, and professionally. But we never want our tools to actually be needed.

(Another is that we can't effectively create a shield without the risk of it being used as a sword.)

If you think Milspec is expensive, you should see the cost of not having a Milspec supply chain while still being risk-averse.

I don't do web stuff, but I wonder if one could easily create a browser extension that hides AI-centric submissions?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

I have the urge to grab a pitchfork, but I know better than to make assumptions about why that functionality was added. Time to do some homework I guess.

Some of the comments here talk about the risk this poses for multi tenant vm providers.

Wouldn't this also be a risk for people using VMs to sandbox untrusted code running on trusted hosts?

I'm just starting to read up on capabilities-based security in Linux.

Would they potentially be a solution to sudo's all-or-nothing granularity in this domain?

Chuck Norris will pass his torch to Jim Keller.

Jim won't have a say in the matter.
