Inflation over the last five years accounts for the first 25% of that 61% price increase. This means it’s only about +36% and not +61% as claimed. Huge difference.

The 2 party state thing is for phone calls. Outside of phone calls, you are generally allowed to record anything you can legally hear, same as you can photograph anything you can legally see.

The market didn’t decide it was needed, the users just downloaded a bunch of free files and free docs. There isn't any indication there was ever a real market. Using something free and paying for a product are entirely different thing

You don’t own your username on the systems of other people. People using Instagram usernames as identity is so insane to me. Why does everyone love sharecropping?

No CPU is sufficient for standard desktop UI these days. All UI is 3d accelerated now. Your statement would have been true 20 years ago.

The production of documentation is not free. As an Apple shareholder why would I want them to spend money doing this?

1Password is doing an integration with Meta? Good enough for me to stop recommending them.

AIUI, the successors used a hash of certain system configurations or directory listings to serve as the decryption key for the malicious payload, so that if you found the binary but didn’t have a target system also, it was meaningless.

GPU firmware interfaces being proprietary and heavily guarded secrets is in no way whatsoever an Apple thing. Even the Raspberry Pi is in much the same boat. Most of the time it’s an upstream vendor NDA. In Apple’s case they own the whole

Why wouldn’t bringing up an OS on new hardware be necessary? Apple has no obligation or incentive whatsoever to write Linux device drivers… Do you think Apple should be funding this work out of revenue? What possible justification could t

No, lack of GPU acceleration. Give me a laptop with sleep and HDMI output that has no 3d acceleration and I will give you back an unusable laptop.

How is it not? A platform deciding on a whim what sort of content can get your hosted site banned? That’s the definition of arbitrary and the definition of censorship. It’s not government censorship, but it’s censorship nonetheless.

No, the general concept of arbitrary censorship by web hosts isn’t fine at all.

“We block slop” - why does a git host care about the quality of code that I choose to produce? As long as it’s within bandwidth and storage quota, why the hell should they care? “Slop” is ambiguous and ill-defined. This is ideological anti

I’m confused. I’ve been to most of the countries in Europe, I’ve been to Russia, China, Thailand, Japan, North and South Korea, USA/Canada/Mexico. What am I missing? I’m perplexed by your reply.

Your tax money is actively engaged in a war, so at least one of your claims is false. Also, many countries that aren’t well-run also have roads, so there goes another one. https://www.government.nl/themes/international

Do you live in Singapore, which this set of items perfectly describes? In Singapore, the state decides what media you are allowed to receive, to preserve the continuity of the state at your expense. In Singapore, you can be jailed for dis

No government in any place is for the people that aren’t the people that comprise the government. They will, of course, all tell you otherwise.

Have definitely used this one, or “my SIM card doesn’t work in this country”. My other lie is “I don’t carry cards.” Works best whilst holding up a Benjamin.

The “something complex” is critical here - I mean specifically an implementation that requires an advanced and reasoned mental model to write. How does it oneshot those and pass comprehensive tests if it isn’t doing advanced reasoning?

> If a malicious ad pops up and offers to install McAfee, some other form of crapware, or outright scamware, they'll click that ad and install the thing. This has been solved on iOS. It’s not an ads problem.

What about my proposed psychosis would make the tests go green when it implements something complex in one shot? In any case, thanks for validating my previous assumption that people like this still exist even in the age of Opus/Fable.

Yeah, it has been clear for a long time that there is reasoning and mental modeling going on here. The other option is that you do understand those words the same way, and the people making these (now nonsensical) anti-AI claims simply aren
