It's less the mandate that matters, but the fact that they can be removed from power.

> You don't speak for anybody outside of your borders, so please stop trying to. FWIW, I'm not American and refuse to step foot within American borders while Trump is in power.

You can have an arbitrarily low opinion of Trump and still trust in democracy as a form of government over autocracy or oligarchy, which is what the AI labs have.

My Sony with Google TV is pretty good in "Basic Mode" without an internet connection though.

Yeah, I would... but also a search engine works even better than a map if it's a restaurant I'm already familiar with and just want a link to restaurantwebsite.com/dinner-menu

> Yes, most of society is online nowadays, or at least is hard to engage in if you can't access the online stuff that organizes it. I think there's an analogy to physical roads there. Most of society is connecting by roads and

Yeah, there's the obvious analogy here to physical automation methods and tools. Kids don't go to gym class to determine who can stack crates most effectively with a forklift.

Whenever I've tried this, it seems okay if you need an answer to a question, but plain bad if I'm looking for a specific page. e.g. I'm just now looking for the menu for a local restaurant. "restaurantname menu" in

How would this even be tenable? Like there's no way for Apple to stand up production of hundreds of millions of iPhones per year in the US. Like say Apple invests billions of dollars into American iPhone production to at least produce

In theory, sure, but in practice devs who care about package size correlate to those who care about launch times.

TBH I don't think I've ever bought a new phone because there was something new and fancy that I could justify. Every phone I've bought has been because my previous phone stopped receiving software updates, or in the case of m

Well the argument is that Quebec has certain laws in place, e.g. French labelling requirements that either increase costs for companies, or make it infeasible for companies to sell to the Quebec market if they've only got marginal prof

Keep in mind that trademarks are registered independently in different jurisdictions, so IP offices and courts are likely to not align in different countries on that point.

Yeah, I don't mind using an account, but when/if they take away old.reddit entirely, I'm done replying. I'll keep checking my city page every now and then as long as my self-hosted eddrit instance keeps working.

I'm kinda dumping my thoughts in this reply to a bunch of the parent/sibling comments - but to me non-fiction isn't the problem, it's specifically the self-help genre that by and large seems incredibly intellectually s

It's a bit awkward where newer Intel models with T2 chips don't support OpenCore, so e.g. the 2019 MBA is going to run out of security updates with macOS 14, sooner than a 2008 MBA that OpenCore will update up to macOS 15.

Presumably someone who is looking for a $50 TV.

Probably because the more relevant correlation would be unemployment rate vs crime.

Yeah, I mean if that's the case, then said small sites are probably headed for extinction, and agents won't have anything to work with other than whatever the top Google result is anyway.
26.
by Marsymars 13d ago
I expect a small site that undercuts the top Google results by 18% with a sign-up discount probably isn't profitable on those orders, so blocking agents would save them money - it's not like someone using agents in that way is g

This goes both ways; I'm forced to use Basecamp, and I find it an unpleasant, poorly designed tool.

They tend to be higher risk though. If you've got the capacity for memorizing all the stuff you need to become a doctor, there's not much risk involved in attaining your doctor salary.

Yeah, but in the same vein, a) countries are just a collection of people and b) Google's a private company, they can put whatever labels they want on their maps. If the US admin decided to officially rename every road in the country to
