This reminds me of some Terry Pratchett quote about a stake through the heart working pretty well on people too.

Not even. The big corps mostly sold the potential rebates for cheap. Investment companies (ie the billionaires) picked them up and likely bribed the SC judges to get a big payday.
- Comment on I’m going to tell my kids this was Heated Rivalry 1 week ago:
Yeah people watched it for the plot, not the gay porn just like people get Playboy for the articles. And I might add, gay porn with what sounds like the microphone must have been inches from the action.

Then you lose traffic updates. I use Wayze, and it suddenly switched and told me to take a turn and I followed it and neatly circumvented a jacknifed truck and probably a big delay.

Yes, I can be introspective, thanks. Not talking about my personal weaknesses here doesn’t negate the point.
- Comment on We tested a transport app that cost the public £4m against Google Maps 2 weeks ago:
Public money of one jurisdiction shouldn’t necessarily pay for things so a different jurisdiction gets them for free. It’s an opportunity for the city to generate some revenue to offset other costs. Or it could be structured as a non-profit effort to develop open source, paid by ongoing grants from a number of cities that would use it - that would be nice, but difficult to orchestrate .
- Comment on So how would you handle this? 2 weeks ago:
A lot of apartments are just converted houses, or old with minimal such standards except basic structural. So the floor joists would typically be 2x10 (nominal inch). Possibly a neighbor below tried to install the pole and found only drywall ceiling and cut a hole. Instead of boxing between the joists and attaching to that, they just went higher to the next flat wood - the subfloor ply under the flooring - so possibly just 3/4".

AI vegan. That’s brilliant.

Social media is a terrible for us. Me included. It’s addictive - that’s why I’m here. It’s even worse for kids as it fucks up their social skills development. And we have the power to help them avoid it, just like we were lucky enough to grow up before it. Once they’re old enough they can then choose to fuck them selves up, like they can with alcohol, weed, porn, etc.

Pretty accurate, but misses some of the structure.

Acquiring Greenland would move the USA up 2 places in the list of largest countries (past Canada and China). That’s probably why he wants it.
- Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic. 4 weeks ago:
Ah, but then you get to stab the Nazi in the head.

I have no knowledge either way. But what if he’s right and you’ve been wasting half your lsd by swallowing? That would be very sad. Have you tried sticking it in the roof of your mouth, or whatever he’s suggesting?
- Comment on Cant Decide 🤖 5 weeks ago:
It’s certainly still improving in many areas - like coding assist, for sure. I think video generation is still improving but it takes a shit ton of resources, so it’s a bit slower. Maybe image generation has plateaued, but that could certainly be temporary. There are lots of more niche applications that are still progressing at a slower pace like I just read an article on using image processing AI in fertility clinics to better predict viability of embryos for implantation. Cool stuff that could actually improve people’s lives.

If you can make more elsewhere then switch jobs. Companies have no loyalty to you, so you shouldn’t have any to them. It’s all financial, so do the best you can for yourself. Companies count on you not wanting to change jobs - don’t play their game.

I don’t know how it feels to never have my hair cut. It’s only cultural to get one’s hair cut regularly; but most people do as they feel it helps them look and feel better. - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:

Just integrate phi squared over the sphere space, and with that set to .999, solve for r. Use something like Maple if the algebra if you’re a wimp.
