Like most sentences, this sentence has meaning in the right context. For example, imagine I told you beforehand that I owned people. Suddenly there is tons of meaning.
Out of context, most sentences also don’t have meaning. The lone sentences we do find meaning in have lots of bagaged context that is just assumed.
If it’s not a war, why then was it renamed the department of war?
The page is broken. I type in the right answer and nothing happens and the bolt option remains. I know it’s the right answer because the bolt erases what I wrote and enters what I just wrote. Disappointing.
It’s the first I’m hearing about it. And I would have rather not heard about it.
Microsoft’s mission isn’t to improve the public good. Microsoft’s mission is wealth extraction for its shareholders.
Windows is worse for you as an individual consumer. But I would argue Windows is a better product for advertisers and other interests that go beyond you. Those interests are at odds with your interests. You need to look at the bigger picture.
Instead of regulating people, how about we regulate big tech and their predatory business practices instead.
It’s not the cameras that are tracking you, it’s the machine vision that reads licence plates, and that has not been around longer than you’ve been alive.
All these loops can detect is if a massive chunk of metal moves over them, no PII. Knowing how many cars use a road is critical in knowing if a road is congested or not, and that helps make roads better for everyone. It’s not part of the surveillance machine. This kind of sensor is no more nefarious than the 100 year old sensor in your toilet that stops filling the tank when it is full.
Take your tinfoil hat off.
TL;DR the same way you detect lies, be skeptical of untrustworthy sources and think critically.
If nobody wanted them, including you, then you have your answer, no? Or maybe you are undecided? It sounds like you can’t decide if you want to keep them or not. Nobody here can make that decision for you.
Personally I don’t think an art project or a donation amounts to much more than avoiding the question of whether you want to keep them or not.
LLMs have no opinions. They are merely mathematical models that predict how an average person (mostly Internet people) might respond plus a little bit of invisible priming baked in to steer the behaviour a little (which is also easy to change yourself).
A lot of these chatbots, notoriously chatgpt, are heavily primed to pander to the user.
Gonna go out on a limb and say, I don’t have any issues with the power of modern ceiling fans.
The bigger, the quieter, the better. I’m surprised he didn’t instead comment on this trend of small, ultra fast ceiling fans that sound and look like a drone on the ceiling of the bedroom.
Either this is highly exaggerated, or whoever is doing your taxes hasn’t explained to you the various deductions you should be claiming or enjoying, from standard/basic deductions, to tax credits and programs, not to mention tax brackets.
That being said, is there a massive discrepancy in how little tax corporations and the rich pay compared to the little guy? He’ll yeah there is.
A hobby is pretty much anything you do other than what you do for your own or someone else’s sustenance. Getting paid to barbecue for customers paying you? Not a hobby. Grilling some burgers at dinner time because you or your family are hungry? Not a hobby. Spending hours and weekends on end slow cooking a particularly challenging piece of meat? Hobby. Eating an expensive piece of meat (as a treat)? Also a hobby.
Checked luggage… so that they can get at the bag carousel faster and wait even longer? I think you mean let people with no carry-ons off first.
Remember clipart and wordart? It was colourful and flashy and easy, and everywhere in PowerPoint presentations and word documents and even online. For a few years. Then it vanished.
Turns out, easy and flashy doesn’t have a lot of staying power because when something is easy, it is ubiquitous, and when it is ubiquitous it stops being impressive.
AI slop is easy and flashy, and will probably run its course as people become tired of it.
There will still exist AI content, but it will not resemble the slop we see today.
Maybe? Or maybe it’s just a byproduct of a very finely tuned system used to tell individual humans apart.
Nothing is stopping programmers from inventing and using new words. Getting people to use those words is another matter. You are hand waving the ability for programmers to dictate to non-programmers how language is used, but I think that hand waving also hand waves the idea of language to begin with. So I don’t think any answer you get will be meaningful.
You can make a chair using nothing but hand tools. That’s a wonderfully hobby, but you’re going to have a real hard time turning that into a business and putting food on the table. The hand-made chair is probably of even be better quality than the mass produced one. And that’s great for a few people, but most people probably want the cheapest chair that just barely gets the job done of staying together.
Nunavut is a territory, not a province, btw.
I don’t know about the sources. If you read some of the sources, for example DHH’s own words in his blog posts, while you find conservative grievances which is certainly fair game for disagreement, there are no smoking guns of far right behaviour.
The comparison of omarchy’s design philosophy is particularly egregious. The philosophy is opinionated software. What does consuming a product without being in personal control of every single detail have to do with politics?
