That doesn't mean that it is true.

Did he know that was why though? Did she state it's so that the cops don't find it? Or did she say can you move that box of zines into the shed?

I am curious why you had to remove them. Was it content reasons? Was it you were moving and ownership of them in your new home isn't legal?

There is a good exhibit on this at the Miraikan in Odaiba, Tokyo. Detecting things and proving we detected what we detected we previously couldn't is always a fascinating exercise, especially whilst so much matter is still unrecognised.

Great work developing for OS9 still. I had taken started developing in Think C for a few months as a fun side project to work , and it still has some interesting ideas for development. Plenty of communities for this nowadays still.

Reproducibility in many scientific as areas has been made almost impossible. We have got to the stage where IP matters more than scientific rigour so methodology is purposely left out.

Oh no, he is just so into focusing on profit and "REAL WORK" that this is serious

Firstly, unless you are the leader of any of the faangs, you are a serf on the whole, if you believe in that philosophy as being relevant.

We need the right tool for the job. Certain models have minimum energy expense no matter what the task is and that's often wasted, both on the scale of some tasks and also repetition.

There is a place and a need for large models, local models, and single purpose models. The same way there is a need for HPC and single board.

We need to improve the waster and energy usage and this method doesn't. Most are not reinventing the wheel, a shared AI repository, communicated between online local computers would save a lot of need for these large models.

Hence why brute force needs to be replaced with examples such as neuromorphic methods. It could realistically could be combined with mesh networking as well to utilise the capabilities of all computers locally.

Which is where you accept the loss. Lower cost products are often required to be loss leaders to get people through the door.

I am curious why there is no desire to produce a paper showcasing key details.

I'd say there is no country in the world that proves this point of view is a success in any metric.

I would much prefer a society where all homeowners and cops don't carry guns and cops were fired for illegal raids.

I think they do but only when combined with other acts such as less constant advertising of products. This would be the equivalent of saying AA meetings don't work, whilst permanently waving a bottle of alcohol in someone's face.

I would also say buy less, buy only what you need to replace and can't be repaired, and buy more sustainable and long lasting, are three different tactics, that can all work together but can target different people individually. There will be different socioeconomic factors that perhaps affect which theory certain groups of people go for.

All these markets have been ruined. They used to be multi ethnic hotspots for the local communities. Say Tooting market for example, had Jamaican music store, a butchers, a pet store, and a English style cafe in a small area. Now it's just gentrified with coffee shops.

Classic golf games oddly in some ways give me a more realistic feeling of being out on the course than the complexity and beautiful graphics of today. It's likely partially due to the simplicity of the inputs that better represent how little control I feel I have over the ball

This isn't completely true at least in the UK. It is simply that the manufacturer is no longer responsible legally. The GMC allow prescibing of unlicensed meds. However the change needs to be made to the pathway. So many issues in the NHS has been due to pathway problems.

Philosophy is often a key stepping stone to science. Wondering what could be, is taking someone to the next step. If we ever want to do something that isn't just small increments on the past this is needed.

Do Mozilla really still need volunteers in this day and age? Tbh even in 2015. They are established enough to not need to exploit goodwill.

Is anyone going to the neocypherpunk event in Berlin this weekend?

Won't somebody think of the children appears to be the world's most effective method of bringing in restrictive and privacy destroying laws, yet they just don't work.

The average person doesn't have any knowledge on this system.

I think you are spot on. Due to the inability to buy parts from the world over, you had to repair any personal machines you had whether it be computers to cars, therefore access and knowledge was essential. A replica of that ethos today would be MNT Research.

Japan need to use far less of it. Their levels of waste in plastic and so on, is still ridiculously high in comparison with many places.

This is a very valid heading.

Any more? You mean for the past decade or so at least.

Flea markets in East Germany even now are fascinating for classic tech, classic tech books, and many other things. Even as simple as going to one at Mauerpark or the Karlshorst race track, you will see working examples of classic DDR tech that you can buy and explore. Just like people explore classic macs, it's as interesting to see.

This assumes that we can't pass items on in life which we can or even repurpose, such as the USB key.

There is some validity to a marketplace selling items from a larger range of retailers, however the quality is so poor for many items that it simply is no good for society in any way.
