At least there's still hope. It would be weird that this would be allowed to stand, with first-class GOS in the picture now.

Breaking news: a machine can do a tedious repetitive task faster than a human.

I don't want to rehash the content of the Zen of Reticulum which explains the concept rather well, which is ironic because you're claiming tautology, when to rehash the content of the Zen of Reticulum would, itself, be tautologica

Read the Zen of Reticulum and you'll understand the point.

Because more fasterer and more cheaperer. I hope Reticulum gains traction.

We still have the ability to use a different platform though. It's entirely up to the users to choose which services and programs to use to accomplish their goal. With consoles, you just get what you get, and have the privilege of payi

Do you know of any good alternatives to Nexus Mods? A peer-to-peer system would be really cool. Mod hosting over something like Reticulum, with mod manager integration, sounds like a dream.

Plus a lot of the advanced graph-related algorithms were discovered by the 80s.

There's that, and the fact that the "town square" for my city ended up being a city citizens page on Facebook. So we've got the city government and the sheriff's office posting updates to X and/or Facebook, and

I actually like that reality better

> The concept you’re likely actually interested in is whether or not the human brain can fully be emulated in a computer. The answer is that with enough computing power, yes. That's kind of begging the question, because we don'

I know this probably sounds ridiculous to this demographic, but I'm not quick to dismiss the possibility that we are antennas (best comparison I can make) for a substance/field we aren't yet aware of. Or something along those

It's more than that: free and open support for HDMI 2.1 in general. Previously it was only proprietary implementations that didn't leak the spec which were allowed. AMD is just the only one that has really good open source drivers

As far as I can recall: some internal implementation documentation leaked which made the legal position tougher for them somehow to protect it as proprietary (it made sense when I heard it explained, but now I feel like I'm missing an

So basically, it's cheap for them to defraud the consumer, and prohibitively expensive for the consumer to adequately protect themselves from it. The absolute state.

Convenience. That's usually the answer.

Ah. I was envisioning the LLM handling requests as they come in lol

So you'd have a low-memory-usage super high latency ad blocker with a monthly bill, or an ad blocker that uses up several gigabytes of RAM/VRAM for slightly less high latency. Compelling.

The interstate commerce clause is hilarious. It's the ultimate freebie for the feds. They can argue their case for pretty much anything they want with it.

You may have heard of it already, but Nim has existed in this space for some time.

More than half the country doesn't even require a license to carry anymore, and mentioning it in those states also doesn't typically warrant anything more than an "alright just don't touch it."

What's the difference between an American drone operator dropping a bomb on cartels in Mexico, and an American infantryman shooting at cartels in Mexico?

Many entrepreneurial types will just market the shit out of unmaintainable messes fast enough to IPO so they can get their bag all the same.

That's one way to spin it. The other is that good quality things have become so low-demand and expensive due to barely-passable-quality things becoming so cheap, that people buying good quality things is now ironically more uneconomica

It's frustrating that vibecoding has gotten so pervasive that it's impossible to tell when someone uses LLMs as an awareness-increaser and research assistant, rather than an unreviewable code vomiter. I still appreciate the design

It fixes it at face value, for now. The long-term effects of corporate nearsightedness might be too great to absorb this time around.

Yeah, the economy wants a dystopia, so we're just gonna have to let that happen industry by industry, calling each group that is exploited for maximal corporate gain a neo-luddite. Inevitability and whatnot. Hell, we're gonna die
