He would not have succeeded in making a real reactor even with AI, because AI can't magically give you a large quantity of uranium metal! JFC the AI hysteria is unreal.

Simon's pelican is in fact routinely criticised for exactly that.

You're wrong. Japan does do their own enrichment, 150k SWUs at Rokkasho with plans to bring that up to 500k SWUs a year soon. If they chose to make.bombs instead of fuel, they could make dozens a year.

> South Korea was the first country in the world to implement an internet censorship law. There is a historical record of censorship, regardless of which administration—left or right—was in power.

South Korea has spent a large portion of its history under military dictatorships (yes, South Korea) and while the last generation or so has known democracy, its been shakey. This this kind of national background, when liberties are abridged it probably doesn't seem like a huge departure from the norm.

Tech corp execs also read the rest of Snowcrash, unfortunately, so besides the metaverse crap we also got Snowcrash's "gig economy" labor hellscape.

My take is I've never heard of Flux but I've repeatedly heard of Adafruit getting into drama, so the bayesian in me is definitely not prepared to jump on whoever Flux is. Better to wait for the facts, than give Adafruit the benifit of the doubt.

These sort of windows users have been drawing lines in the sand at every version of windows thusfar, when push comes to shove they always fold and accept the new thing they resisted for years, declaring that to be their new line in the sand. They come up with all manner of innane cope like "every other version of windows is good", but take a step back and its obvious they're getting slow boiled. The ones dying in a hill for Windows 7 now were once dying on a hill for 2000 or XP, refusing to use 7, and in a few years they'll be dying on a hill for windows 10 or 11.

These aren't serious people. Serious people have either gotten off windows, or have made peace with sleeping with microsoft. Those clinging to the past can't bring themselves to do either, and therefore must not be taken seriously.

It would be rude if you said it to a person, so it counts as rude. If it isn't rude simply because its directed at a LLM, then the entire premise of being rude or polite to LLMs evaporates, but that's not useful.

There are virtually no combinations of food which are toxic, you can mix any food with any food and, while it might not be good, it will still be food. (The only exception I know of is alcohol and mushrooms containing coprine, e.g. inky caps)

Point is, unless you're stupid enough to add glue or broken glass to your meal just because a recipe told you to, it's perfectly safe. More than just safe, LLM recipes these days are utterly boring in their normalacy, and, unlike cookbook recipes, can dynamically adapt to what you actually have in your pantry.

Reddit has been botting since the very beginning and never stopped.

You're being sarcastic, but aren't you accidentally right? Swiss watchmaking started because local bible-thumpers banned jewelry but made an exception for watches, thus creating demand for watches that fill the role of jewelry. Once established, the industry maintains itself.

Guy tries to drive courtously around you and this is how you take it? You're unhinged.

Every payday loan company, the "we buy houses for cash" companies, rent-to-own companies, title loan companies, the entire buy-now-pay-later ecosystem, the timeshare industry.

Seriously dotancohen, get your people under control.

Not when half those "advertised services" are in fact scams.

Nobody will sue you for that. In every age we have had people like you, wishing things would go back to "normal", and w.r.t. technology you lot never get your way, but neither do you cause problems for anybody else. All you're doing is pissing into the wind and getting yourself wet, as is your right.

Which of the two is responsible for it ignoring being in Plan mode and trying to implement shit instead of just writing up a plan?

Veritasium sold out to some rich fuck investors who're turning the channel into a slop factory (slowly phasing out Derrick's presence in the process, transitioning to hired actors and lame scripts.)

That stuff is just silly mostly-self-aware camp to keep the setting entertaining, don't overthink it. Everybody already knows and acknowledges that the series is absurd.

Every damn time anybody has trouble with an Apple product, we get this "Well that hasn't happened to me." Great for you, go get yourself a cookie and cram it up your ass.

Very nice work. I've always loved the aesthetic of hand crafted monochrome pixel art.

The two stages of successful project development:

1. Make a functional prototype.

2. Decide that's good enough anyway and go do something else.

Is it also their policy to botch the significant digits? 300 mph is obviously a crude estimate. Converting to 483 km/h implies an unreasonable degree of precision.

I would be frequenting the diner I pass by every day on the way home, but for some reason they think it's good business to stop serving eggs after the morning. To me, a proper diner should keep the griddle on and be serving eggs any time of the day.

I thought that one specifically was placed in the default system prompts of basically all providers.

Bro you're picking the most yuppy veggies you can find to strain to make your point. "I can't just eat the cheap tomatoes, I demand the finest!"

Quit being such a fruit.

IIRC you used to be able to exploit xterm using malformed escape codes for setting the window title.

Alfred Bester; The Stars My Destination, and The Demolished Man.

Don't use mplayer for this. Use mpv --vo=gpu --gpu-context=drm

This gives you hardware acceleration without a desktop environment.

I think you're going to be killed for the side you've taken here. No no, I'm not saying you deserve it! In fact, I actually agree with you, you said nothing wrong. I'm just speculating on outcomes I think are likely and I think it's likely that somebody will look you up and track you down and take out their unjustifiable but completely understandable frustration on you. Please understand, I don't support this, I'm just talking about the possibility!

Of course, by talking about the possibility, despite asserting my disapproval of it, I am sowing seeds, but I assure you that's certainly not my intention!
