"Tons" of CO2 would be an inconsequential drop in the bucket. Also cryptocurrency ≠ Bitcoin and I hate how people think the space is only Bitcoin.
That might be true, but that doesn't matter. In Canada crypto is a barter good, both parties just need to decide fair market value.
Is this a joke?
To me both CGI and politics have the same issue which is aging poorly. Nobody thinks The Phantom Menace looks better than A New Hope.
That's exactly my point. That teacher didn't have any facts, they just decided someone was a slacker based on vibes and used that bias to single them out. And presumably would go on to add systems to allow them to persecute others they deem to be slackers.
> School isn't a therapy session or entertainment. If it's a miserable experience and you come out smart, it's 1000x better than if its a wonderful experience and you come out dumb.
As someone who gets told he's smart somewhat regularly by his peers, and had a school mandated therapist because they thought he was a suicide risk, I believe that's a statement that needs a citation.
In any case they're not mutually exclusive, you can have an education system that works without grinding people down into lifelong anxiety disorders.
> This is what my Ancient History II professor told me when my group and I got our final group project essay handed out.
What a terrible, hack of a teacher. If you've ever said something like that to a student, quit your job. Those people are the reason academia is such a miserable experience for so many.
> buy 13 songs a month, every month, for a year, and see how big your library is.
Sure. And when I had Spotify I added about that to my liked songs every month.
> There is a compounding effect
That doesn't sound compounding, it sounds like a linear increase of 13 per month.
> for convenience of being able to listen to a new song once or twice and never again.
Yes, that is the advantage of Spotify and other steaming services. I can listen to dozens of new songs a day, picking out my favorites while being exposed to new music allowing me to find more that I like. And if I don't like it, meh, didn't cost me anything.
A library of 300 songs is tiny. I guess you don't listen to much music? Back before I lived in the city 300 songs would have lasted a week, I'd statistically hear a repeat on the drive home on the first day.
No not really, what gave you that idea?
> which isn't generally possible due to how networks work
Complete nonsense. Lots of people do it, many more have the capability even if they choose not to use it.
> Also one needs a domain
Nice to have, but completely optional.
> These barriers are high enough, so that common people can't create/host their own sites.
Are you talking about a website? Like a blog? If so you can have a Neocities site for free, with an optional 5 USD monthly subscription. That's the accessible, affordable option you're looking for.
It's also not accessible to people in comas, what's your point? The instructions are "import the file into VM software" and that's enough to get you something you can connect to over a web browser.
Veganism is incompatible with bacon. You can self-host, and also pay for cloud services when they are better than what you can self-host.
If anything it's like suggesting making food instead of getting takeout while buying bread from the store, because it's better than what you can make at home.
Eh.
You're waxing poetic about some sort of 'authentic' human craft, but I'm not convinced that's what most people try for when they write fanfiction. Is it possible that some or even most people write fanfiction to create the stories they want to see, and the craft of writing is just a way of achieving their goal?
The majority of people do not play videogames. The majority of those do not play any roguelikes. Citing the majority is completely useless.
Furthermore I'm not convinced you can make a tutorial for Dwarf Fortress. There's too much complexity, too many edge-cases that you end up needing to know. Most people seem to burn out if fed too much info at once.
> I’m convinced from articles about dwarf fortress that it’s a game that few actually play and enjoy, but like talking about as if it’s fun.
On my Steam friends-list I have 14 friends who have purchased the game. The top three by play-time are at 314, 267, and 67 hours. The remaining 7 with playtime average 22 hours, the other 5 have it in their backlog. That to me is some excellent playtime. Not Lethal Company numbers or anything, but that game didn't have a release before steam either.
Maybe, but that's completely tangential to what the GP said. And aside from that those games with a wide net do have a target audience, that's how they end up in that situation to begin with.
From a biased source, but would be big if true. I've had great results with GLM 5.2.
From their subscription page, the smallest plan gives you about 97M tokens weekly for 5.3 but 292M for 5.3 Flash. Not exactly 10x the limit.
The same morally repugnant scummyness X is currently engaging in?
> It's not your content, and you're cheating us all!
You haven't been cheated in any way lol. You're posting to a public forum, grow up.
This is a wild take to me. Around here pretty much nobody posts their menu online on any website, the technical literacy is just quite poor. If you limited yourself to places that did, you'd only get big fast-food chains.
I think asking every self-hosted app to implement their own encryption is a massive waste of resources. If you need the data encrypted, it should be handled by a dedicated app like Cryptomater or at the OS level.
I'm talking about how the law actually works, and you say it's not based in reality and cite fiction books in the same paragraph?
I was talking about how the real robotic systems that actually exist in reality, to be clear.
That's rather hyperbolic.
Are you seriously suggesting in that situation the robot should be accused of murder? The robot's operator could be accused of murder, but it could just be negligence without intent. Because that does, and should matter to the law.
And so can everyone else. That's the ideal outcome.
Only Anti-AI types are against this, they probably don't even care about the books, it's just a proxy for trying to stop the "evil AI companies."
