Why do you think that? Not that they are saints, but the demand shock is a real thing, not something the DRAM manufacturers created artificially. And that prices rise with demand is not price fixing.

Many people fail to appreciate just how much consumer battery technology has improved, in their lifetime.

LLM can be sycophantic at times, but it will usually not hesitate to tell you you are wrong.

I think the more attractive LLM property is that you can ask questions, without thereby admitting to a human that there is something he doesn’t know. That is surely very attractive to narcissists like Trump.

It wouldn’t be dumb if ICE vehicles were also taxed the same way but they’re not.

Petroleum is taxed per liter. A car goes X km per liter. So the current petroleum tax is effectively per km, or close enough.

• Electric cars
• Reusable orbital rockets
• Robots
• AI

The Wrath of Kahn novel was released in 1982. The 1981 IBM PC already came with an optional 10MB HDD. So the author would have had to assume that storage space tech would basically never improve at all.

Hardware problems like faulty RAM are a thing, though. Linux is good, but it is not magic. Not every crash is a software problem.

Don’t give him any more ideas. Quick, delete your post before Trump sees it!

“Just” like with GDPR, “just” follow the rules for personal data management. In reality, compliance stuff like that is expensive to implement.

So if you are going to require it, don’t pretend it is without cost. Which is exactly what you seem to be doing.

If they were obviously democratic, like e.g. Denmark, then there would be need to them to lie about it in their name.

So it actually makes sense that non-democratic countries are more likely yo have a name claiming to be democratic.

AI learned from humans, and humans texts use the term CEO. Why wouldn’t the AI’s also use the term CEO?

It’s laughable to suggest they “elected a CEO and power structure”.

When/if we meet aliens, they will have evolution. And they will organize themselves in social power structures. Both are examples of basic emergent complexity properties of any such system.

So it is completely believable that AIs would form a power structure, with some form of CEO. That is just how reality works, such systems are more efficient so they happen.

Yes and no. The ability to “understand” code that makes AI capable of finding security bugs, is correlated with AI’s ability to write code. AI is just really good at code related tasks, and categorically banning all AI usage is shooting yourself in the foot.

Which is true and all. For many things.

But if I just want to decode some JSON for a computer game, it is nice to just be able to do it on a website, with no need to install anything.

Though not having to download and install a random program from the Internet, with full access to your hard disk, is often nice. When running in the browser, it is automatically sandboxed hard.

It’s like all the people that use to write cool programs or apps for Windows left for Linux and never looked back.

I have no idea if it is true, but it would make a lot of sense. Why spend your time fixing MS’s for-profit shit, for free, when there is a viable open source alternative?

I wonder if there will come a tipping point? MS is making Windows really hard to love, so who in the altruistic group will stay on Windows when the mythical Year Of The Linux Desktop truly comes?

Is there no solution to this?

Linux…

But all the good things by American tech companies whom totally respect your privacy, like Google scrapping all spirit airlines communication, or Flock camera drones, is just fine.

A nationstate, whether a autocracy or even a real democracy, does have a genuine national security interest in preventing foreign spying. No matter how much that nationstate itself spies on its own citizens.

So the argument about domestic spying existing, to argue that Chinese spying does not matter, is quite a non sequitur.

Seriously, they could have left out specifying in the title that he is a Republican, and we would still have known he was a Republican. I am not being facetious.

Biden gave Fauci a full preemptive pardon. Because everybody knew that Republicans would go after Fauci on made up bullshit.

Fauci dedicated his life to saving other peoples’ lives. Republicans are evil.
