She really destroyed her legacy by refusing to retire.

Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

Both of you are assholes.

Nothing warrants destroying things over a perceived misgendering.

At the same time, a bit of an asshole response from you, when you could have just politely said that you meant dude as gender neutral term

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

The cloud givith and the cloud taketh

“Boring and Safe” when the man has a button to literally annihilate the world 10 times over and can literally lead the world into WW3/massive trade wars/destroy countries over night seems petty logical.

No, because I need too much information for work. This would render me unable to perform my work, so I would need at least the replacement salary.

Not really.

Now the 15 sponsored links will be irrelevant to YOU as a user since they can’t personalize the ads.

They can still use context advertising which does not use your personal information but only what you are giving to them for search.

Amazon search is probably the least impacted by this, since they use context advertising by default.

Rampant alcoholism.

I’m in tech and It’s literally not falling.

People are still hiring, just the bar is no longer absurdly low.

During the pandemic, everyone was hiring like crazy, and people coming out of boot camps were instantly hired even when they didn’t understand algorithms, didn’t understand system design, and didn’t understand engineering principles.

Now, you actually need to have a brain to be hired.

Tech is also not a bubble, because tech is in every single industry now. You might get froth in certain segments of tech (crypto, AI, whatever is the current “hot thing”), the market fundamentals are absurdly good. Operating margins of mature software companies are consistently in the mid 20s to 30s.

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.

That talk was quite nice, I really enjoyed it, thank you

I should be more precise.

I think we will still have charlatans even if we solve all societal problems because people are fundamentally not built to reason, and they will always be vulnerable to those who prey on the ignorant for power.

Thus, we need to build society as if people are stupid to prevent the worst abuses of power.

In terms of harm, almost everything will be several orders of magnitude less than lead. PFAS and Microplastics might be bad, but they really aren’t on the same level of bad as lead, which is known to cause severe societal harm due to its impact on the neural system.

I disagree.

Our intelligence was not evolved for too much thinking. Most of our brain is wired towards feeling, and for the overwhelming majority of human existence, our feelings were well suited for small, cooperative, communal existence as small tribes/bands/clans. We don’t “think” for most of the decisions we make in our day to day lives, nor do we try to learn from all the possible sources.

IMO religion is “needed” in order to shortcut our feeling brain to help make us make the correct collectivist decision. It’s like writing software on shitty firmware and limited hardware so that it can still function in modern society.

Yea.

1. Try to get the Wi-Fi node to a better place using Ethernet.

2. Get a Wi-Fi “repeater” or better yet, a mesh network, where the second access point is placed in between your computer and the router to “rebroadcast” to the router.

Get an access point with a healthy uplink. Mesh networks work too.

I wouldn’t recommend powerline unless it’s the last resort. It’s really hit or miss depending on your circuitry.
