gadders

That's only the last sentence, and I've deleted it for you. Why not engage with the thrust of the argument?

Is the law all that is stopping you from killing someone? (for instance)

People (generally) do the right thing because it is the right thing, not because they might get caught,

We can make these things smarter faster than we can make them "good" (ethically).

We need to fix this or bad things will happen.

"Hello, ex-military person. If I put $10,000,000 worth of bitcoin in your wallet, can you do X for me please?"

I womder if you could do the old Lotus Notes weak non-US Keys now, and if there are any old .nsf files floating around to be decrypted.

The future will be an AI that acts as a matchmaker via a chat interface.

"Hi, I'm looking for someone in my area age [x-y], has a professional role.."

"I have Claire on my list. She's X years old, works as an accountant, and her requirements seem similar to yours. Shall I ping her and see what she thinks?"

If it had never happened, maybe sport would be some platonic ideal but if you look at the premier league, it seems to function OK as a sports league comparable to the NFL, despite people loading up on accas for fun.

"A more recent survey in 2022, conducted by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission found that 'headline problem gambling rate is statistically stable at 0.2%. The moderate risk and low risk rates are also statistically stable at 0.9% and 1.4% respectively.'[45]"

I don't see any country limitation in the original comment.

You do realise that countries other than the USA exist, right? The UK has had various forms of sports gambling legal for nearly 100 years and society hasn't crumbled and neither did sport.

I miss not having business cards any more.

It does seem to swing a bit from week to week.

Somethings do take surprisingly more tokens than others. EG: generate some code vs search the web to find me the best hiking boots for less than £100.

Lol. Indians aren't hired because they're better. They're hired because they're cheaper.

Because a country is not an economic unit.

From my exclusive with Opus 5 it assumes and awful lot and gets caught out. I keep having to ask it to check what it is saying against the code.

Perhaps people in the constituency like Farage and want a Reform government.

They're normally called a shadow fleet because they turn off their transponders when they head into territorial waters.

It's not a case of needing a crutch. It's how you value your time. "Shall I spend 30 mins grammar checking this product marketing copy, or shall I get AI to do it while I start work coding a new feature?"

This is a dumb idea by Claude. It's currently a binary switch and doesn't differentiate between "fix the grammar on this paragraph" and two pages of AI Slop.

There should at least be some cut off where it applies and where it doesn't.

It's always China: https://www.reuters.com/graphics/CHINA-ARGENTINA/FISHING/gkp...

I don't know why the article goes on so much about Secretariat. Flat races are horse races on easy mode. Steeplechases are proper horse racing

I think it depends what your career is. It used to be that developers hated it because during the ZIRP era they were being spammed with badly fitting job offers from sketchy recruiters.

Now that the market has tanked, their feelings may have softened somewhat.

And some of the industry posts can be interesting.

"It was developed in the last 6 months" and "It was developed 50 years ago and millions of people around the world have used it with no ill effects" doesn't really require a degree in biochemistry to evaluate the possible risks.

I don't think they were developed in less than 6 months, and probably had more testing (and have had far more since).

Yeah. People are lumping all vaccines together in an attempt to boost the credibility of the COVID vaccine. Unfortunately what it is actually doing is ruining the credibility of all the other vaccines that have been around for years and are well understood.

Where "policing by consent" means "only policing people who won't react violently when we try and prosecute them for breaking the law".

When I went to NZ about 30 years ago, vibe-wise Auckland was like LA and Wellington was like Seattle. Not sure if that comparison still holds.

It tried to, but a relatively new watch and not an easy button combo.

I was running on a treadmill a few weeks back, and was knackered so stopped abruptly by jumping into a straddle position with my legs on the rails either side of the actual band on the treadmill. My smartwatch interpreted this as a fall and sent a red alert to my daughter.

There will always be a place for common sense - the Greeks used to call it phronesis or "practical wisdom".

You also need to distinguish between expert opinion and elite opinion. The two are not the same.
