   If he wanted to get out and sell his stocks, why would he care if it collapses after he leaves? He sells his stocks when the value of the company is still high

   If you have a big form to fill in, surely its going to take longer to type in the coordinates of each text box and get the mouse to click them rather than just hitting tab to select the next input element?

   And if you sell the shares, you get money back. He owns assets that are valued in excess of 800,000 lifetimes of money. If you can sidestep income tax by simply getting your income in assets rather than banknotes, something has gone wrong s

   95% over 20 million . Average Joe is never going to see 20 million in his life, so it's not exactly a concern for him. You can adjust the value as necessary to only apply to the top 1-2% or so. You can still have 20 million, and even

   I mean, anything other than "speaks every protocol", which is incorrect unless someone goes ahead and writes a parser for every single protocol. "Many protocols"? "A wide variety of protocols"? "More proto

   I don't think he has the shittiest possible life. Someone trapped in an abusive relationship, suffering from addictions, mental health problems and with financial problems probably has a worse life than the richest man in the world Als

   I heard a while back that the average person will see about a million of their currency over their lifetime. So we can take a million dollars to be about 1 lifetime's worth of money. Elon is currently sitting on 817,000 lifetimes worth

   > "You do realize I can flip the flag myself easily." Then flip the flag yourself. Why are you arguing with "a non-human pile of matmuls" when you could just fix it yourself?

    I've gotten a lot of mileage out of a softmodded DSi that reads game ROMs off an SD card. I haven't loaded it up with every single game ever, just some that I like, and it's been great to play on when I'm in bed. I'

    Why does my screen need to be used less than it needs to? If you're only going to use 1/4 of my screen for your content, you could at least put a cute cat picture in the rest of it or something

    I prefer text over the whole width compared to websites that put all their content in the left 80 columns of the screen, taking up about a quarter of my screen width

    How much of an architectural change does the borrow checker require? It feels to me like a pretty central part of Rust, and you can't just translate all the files one to one, then refactor out the unsafe blocks, it might need a full th

    You have to be able to write enough to prompt an LLM. So why not just send the prompt, since that's what you actually said?

    I can absolutely find new stuff on there. It took Project Hail Mary a little while to get on there, presumably because it was a cinema release only for quite a while but a good quality version popped up after a couple of weeks, and a bad qu

    One thing I've never understood is why NPM allows packages to run code immediately after they are installed. What's the use case for that? A package should just be some code you can call on at runtime

    You'd need to train it only on Christian texts rather than "all of human writing", so I'd imagine it would be harder to get enough material to make an LLM that works as effectively. Probably the same reason that LLMs are
