Behold! The perfect man: A simpering, oversocialized, impotent, obedient nerd!

>What if, for example, a dentist refuses to remove malformed wisdom teeth because his morals don't allow him to fix problems that a person is born with, and only fixes tooth damage caused by accidents?

If every dentist did this, the genepool would improve.

The difference between anti-vax and anti-eugenics is that eugenics makes society more fragile by producing a monoculture, whereas vaccinations make society more durable due to the network effects in the spread of disease

There aren't any risks to take. Modern society is approaching a steady-state solution.

Eugenics and artificial selection results in monocultures. In the long run has the opposite effect of what you're describing.

The fundamental problem with eugenics, besides the immorality, is the misalignment of artifical selection with natural selection. The eugenicists always think they know best, but mother nature always gets the last word in the end

reality is cruel

there's the PE license

What does renegotiating labor in the face of increased labor supply mean other than just "accept a worse deal"?

the cursive tui library does some html rendering

the whole cursive library strikes me as very html-like in layout

the efficiency of converting it to electricity would be low, due to low absolute temperature difference and thus carnot effeciency.

I think it could be higher with germanium semiconductors, as you could run them at a higher temp and get superheated steam

The Freemium model made TF2. Most of the good updates were after the F2P update, and almost all of the playerbase.

not really. I have two options: android or ios. And android is following ios lockstep with practices like the recent changes to play integrity.

It's got what mario craves

The difference is that it's completely plausible to protect against a cyberattack, but completely implausible to protect against a nuclear attack.

The onus is on Apple and their userbase to protect their own computers, not the rest of society to patrol and regulate unstoppable "information crime" against them

so what? As GP suggests, they are not nessisary for the development of exploits.

what circles? I would like to have greater transparency into what this cabal of superusers doing, how are they recieving the cash flows, etc.

It just seems like every wiki results in defensive mod cabals

I don't assert that there is a political solution to AI. It's possible that both avenues result in a total centralization of power.

>Are you claiming a lack of gun / AI control is democratizing?

This is obviously the case. It results in a greater distribution of power.

>That's not working for (the lack of) gun control in the US at the moment though.

In the US, one political party is pro gun-control and the other is against. The party with the guns gets to break into the capitol, and the party without the guns gets to watch. I expect the local problem of AI safety, like gun safety will also be self-solving in this manner.

Eventually, Gun control will not work anywhere, regardless of regulation. The last time I checked, you don't need a drone license. And what are the new weapons of war? Not guns. The technology will increase in acessibility until the regulation is impossible to enforce.

The idea that you can control the use of technology by limiting it to some ordained group of is very brittle. It is better to rely on a balance of powers. The only way to secure civilization in the long run is to make the defensive technology stronger than the offensive technology.

evolution isn't a directed effort in the same way that statistical learning is. The goal of evolution is not to produce the most inteligent life. It is not nessisarially an efficient process either.

All of the solutions to AI "safety" are analagous to gun control: it is a centralization of power.

Consoles are dying and PCs are replacing them. Like the original commenter suggested, people want to run PC games. The market has decided that the benefits of compatibility outweigh the added complexity. On the PC you have access to a massive expanding back-catalog of old software, far more competition in the market, mods, and you're able to run whatever software you want alongside games (discord, teamspeak, game streaming, etc.).

Macs are personal computers, whether or not they come from some official IBM Personal Computer compatibility bloodline.

What happens when apple switches to riscv, or depreciates versions of metal in a backwards incompatible way, or mandates some new code signing technique?

The attitude in the apple developer ecosystem is that apple tells you to jump, and you ask how high.

You could complain that Playstation 4 software is incompatible with Playstation 3. This is the PC gaming industry, there are higher standards for the compatibility of software that only a couple companies can ignore.

What happens if it doesn't work?

Sometimes I wonder if reason is partially a product of manipulating language.

I think it comes from a lack of information on the consumer end or a lack of choices due to monopolization on the producer end.

Also I reject using the word "enshittification" because it comes off as childish.

how are customers going to tell in-house dishes from sysco premade dishes just by looking at a menu?

where do you plug in the mouse?

You don't have any objection to the idea of being forced to use an online account? What if you lose access to your online account?

You could sell parts anyways and violate the license.
