I suppose. But if I was an Iranian operative with instructions to damage the morale of the American war machine, I'd absolutely do a series of things like this. It doesn't really harm anyone, but enough similar events and the fa

Not to be Debbie Downer but software licensing has no effect on what matters to billions of people. We are facing very real global and societal issues that people on this site are actively exacerbating, like disinformation and climate chang

Digital solutions don't have to be abusive. Where I live the city commissioned its own mobile app for parking, and all numbered parking spots in the city use that app. There are private lots that use Honk or Robbins or whatever, but t

"Seam" has been a thing since before the AI craze. Wasn't it the NSA director who once said something like "we make our living at the seams"?

HuggingFace offers abliterated/uncensored models, which would seem to run contrary to the "AI is too powerful for regular people" narrative that the big players are pushing. My primary concern is that Nvidia will bow to the p

P-values are almost always taught poorly, but it's not actually that difficult of a concept. I took statistics in high school, again in undergrad, and it wasn't until the third time in grad school that it actually made intuitive

Sounds like we agree that the USA does not have a truly free market, and that some regulation is essential. I'm glad!

A truly free market is also free of regulation and embraces predatory actions by monopolists. Think being paid in company scrip instead of dollars. Think a single food supply monopoly with patented seeds you can be prosecuted for propagat

Just like Kyrie Irving is a talented basketball player but also a catastrophically-deluded flat-earther, it's just as possible for gifted software engineers to have flawed reasoning about the economy.

The number of normies visiting urls directly from a CDN is a rounding error. Non technical users like pronounceable domain names. It's why we aren't just using IP addresses. CAS is intimidating to non-technical types.

Content-addressable storage as a whole is a non-starter with non-technical users.

Aviation is notorious for having long product cycles. Look at how long GA pilots have been spraying their communities with lead. There's simply no economic feasibility to replace every seal on every aircraft.
