Well, the people who want your art also have to both exist and have money to pay you if you want to make money. There’s probably a sweet spot. I’m not sure what it is, but the money to be made probably declines after a point.

Furries are notoriously rich, so I think that’s the only out for someone who’s drawn themselves into this type of corner. It was business, not pleasure.

Sure would be a shame if a hacker from a country that doesn’t prosecute these sorts of things (e.g. most of eastern Europe) noticed that the dev was keeping all of the source on an otherwise blank computer with a default password.

That’s still way newer than I thought. I guess they started updating it again.

Yeah, like the Nexus 5. Not anything you’d want to actually use today.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 2 weeks ago:
MLM actually have higher condom use rates than MLW. It wasn’t the case before AIDS, because they didn’t have to worry about pregnancy and all of the STIs were pretty treatable, but they pivoted once they had a compelling reason.
- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 3 weeks ago:
Well, you could get a 60W LED, but it would be extremely bright. Generally, a household bulb is a 60W incandescent, an 18W CFL, or a 9W LED.

A lightbulb for an hour is about 60 Wh, assuming you’re talking about an incandescent one.

Yeah, I think LLMs are close to their peak. Any new revolutionary developments in LLMs will probably be in efficiency rather than capability. Something that can actually think in a real sense will probably happen eventually, though, and unless it’s even more absurdly resource-intensive it’ll probably replace LLMs in everything but autocomplete (since they’re legitimately good at that).

A barer, one who bares. What are they baring? Presumably nuts.
- Comment on Who knew genocide wasn't a winning strategy 4 weeks ago:
That’s cumulative deaths, so the graph is definitely trailing off. The deaths aren’t, but the graph is of confirmed deaths, which require hospitals to confirm them, and there aren’t any hospitals left.
- Comment on Who knew genocide wasn't a winning strategy 4 weeks ago:
It’s only trailing off because they can’t count the dead anymore. The toll is estimated to be 7-8x the confirmed number.

That wouldn’t change anything in this specific case, since you can’t buy the whole anymore either.

How would you even start to enforce those laws against a company that no longer exists? It’s one thing to prevent the AI companies from selling a product that relies on continual support in the first place, but these earbuds will work until the batteries degrade (and theoretically longer if you can manage to replace them without destroying the things) with or without the company’s existence. The fact that the user lost the case with no company to replace it doesn’t seem to me to be the kind of thing that you can really address legally, unless you make the companies put a certain stock of parts in escrow or something, which seems potentially clear more wasteful than the status quo.

This is because “vegetable” is purely a culinary term. There’s no botanical definition of a vegetable. Tomatoes are berries, which is a type of fruit, from a botanical standpoint. So are cucumbers. They’re both vegetables from a culinary standpoint. Lettuce is a leaf. Broccoli is a flower. Carrots are roots. Celery is a stalk. All vegetables culinarily.
