Everyone deserves to eat. It’s unfortunate that we can’t all agree to this

We don’t have to fully outlaw gambling or other forms of high risk entertainment, but we absolutely should be outlawing the pervasive advertising these companies are doing. You can’t enjoy sports these days without dodging tons of ads for betting platforms

No. I will not make apolitical art.

I don’t understand, you want them to reframe using 1990s language?

I think this is a fantastic distinction to make, and one I haven’t seen before.

Well you can if those things first come back for a time

First paragraph of their statement I think better summarizes their reasoning:

> In view of increasing geopolitical unrest, DNB is strengthening its crisis preparedness. Improving the liquidity and tradability of the Dutch gold reserves is part of these preparations. Moreover, a more balanced distribution of these reserves between North America, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands helps to spread risks and will make them more readily available for use in a crisis situation.

The goal is to make these reserves more liquid in the event of a geopolitical crisis. It’s easy to say that Trump was a factor in this decision given that he has been the cause of one geopolitical crisis after another. That hypothetical crisis doesn’t have to directly involve the Netherlands for this to make sense. For example, the price of oil shot way up because Trump decided to poke Iran and having more liquid reserves could make responding to that easier.

Of course the bank is not going to make a political statement, they have more important business to do. The article makes it pretty clear right at the top that the bank’s statement doesn’t mention Trump:

> Experts say that rhetoric appears inherently related to the abrasiveness of the Trump administration towards traditional allies.

Also, the “experts” are just right here. Are you gonna say that Trump hasn’t been throwing our allies under the bus?

Most people who wrote software before AI didn’t contribute to projects like Debian because it takes a certain passion and commitment. Just being able to write code is not the bar for entrance here.

"Improving" it with AI is the sloppy way. Take some time and flush out your ideas the old fashioned way. I promise you the end result will be better and you will come away with a more thorough understanding.

If that’s the cost of super intelligence then yeah maybe

I could contain it easy, just unplug the internet. It got out of the sandbox through a vulnerability in the package manager, from which it gained access to the rest of their network. Air gap the package manager and this doesn’t happen. You can always build a better box

Given the enormous lifetime of these devices, I’d say chances are pretty good! The only thing that’s going to make an M series Mac obsolete is when Apple stops releasing updates. If you can run Linux on it, that thing is going to last forever.

I think it’s easy to infer from that title that “shipyard” is an individual project or organization and not IPFS as a whole

The wait can be pretty short, I once got the charging port on my iPhone replaced same day at an Apple Store in Vegas

Based on the final paragraph before the edit it sounds like it was about Germany and the EU as a whole

I’m sorry, the primary goal of most people on these apps is attention. That’s why they’re able to extract so much money from men

How are you deciding which tax bracket someone is in? The most likely scenario is they look at your previous years filing, which would defeat the whole purpose of this program. If you read the website, you’ll see income drops significantly prior to the baby being born.

Means testing often leaves out those on the lower end who straddle the line or get excluded by stupid technicalities. You simply can’t account for every scenario. Excluding any mother means you will exclude someone who needs it.

I would honestly love a national program that gives money to every mother automatically no questions asked.

Well there are basic checks? For one, you need to be having a baby.

All of the checks you listed would just serve to make it harder for this money to reach the mothers that need it.

You tried so hard to make that sound bad but you just can’t. No strings attached money for expecting mothers? Excellent! Sounds fantastic!

I think the problem is that these AI systems usually think they can solve 100% of the cases and make it harder to get to the human operator

Do you actually use these systems? They can’t at all handle my case where half the time the drug is on back order or there some insurance non sense in the way. I need to talk to a human every time

Agreed, a more appropriate title might be “my server now runs on a phone”

It’s almost like those are two different populations of people?

Are you suggesting the AI just rewrites the whole thing under a different license? There’s no way that’s not more dicey than the AGPL license.

From what I remember, these chips are not mobile size yet

I’d be curious to see how the “approve for me” features that agents have nowadays stack up

Gas prices are up a bit? In my area it’s gone up at least $2 from before the war. Which is just another way that everything has gotten so much more expensive recently (not that all of that is caused by the war).

Maybe I missed it, but the article gave no indication that this was advertised as AI related. It sounds like this was part of an annual festival and the audience was only told about the AI use at the opening

That’s a fair point, they don’t really span the whole range of paradigms. I do think just looking at the paradigm is a reductive view.

All of those languages are very different in how they handle concurrency, safety, objects, meta programming, etc, in ways that force you to adapt how you approach and deconstruct problems. Certainly not as much as a whole different paradigm would, but still in ways that are valuable to explore.
