Amateur. You’re supposed to blame Chinese hackers paid for by George Soros, and go on like nothing happened.

I might start throwing Heinlein in the same bucket as GK Chesterton. Wrong a lot, but wrong in interesting ways, and so close to getting it.

Glad we ask his opinion first.

Does RMS even have any code in the Linux kernel?

“Improvement” is an open ended term. Would having longer or shorter toes be beneficial? Depends on the evolutionary environment.

ChatGPT does have a feedback loop. Every prompt you give it affects its internal state. That’s why it won’t give you the same response next time you give the same prompt. Will it be better or worse? Depends on what you want.

I’ve played with markov chains. They don’t create serious results, ever. ChatGPT is right just often enough for people to think it’s right all the time.

It’s for programmers who need their Imposter Syndrome amplified.

This is alright if you only know the basics of vim and then learn further from within that environment. If you’re already an intermediate to advanced user, then the keybindings between VSCode and Vim tend to interfere with each other. You’ll have to relearn how to do it.

The usual response is “you only know a few cherry picked quotes, and would burst into flames if you actually read the whole thing” blah blah blah.

Are those barriers fundamental, or can different conditions remove them?

What are the barriers to the working class organizing themselves?

There’s psychological quizzes that are much shorter than that. There’s a four question quiz that, on the surface, is about parenting. They’re actually about authoritarianism, and the answers are highly correlated with support for Trump.

The solution to the space elevator was sitting there the whole time.

Why are my neighbors mad? They have all the mint they could want now.

You don’t fight racism by ignoring it. Being out there in a frank manner is a precondition to fixing it.

Prices tend to come down on these things simply because the car industry widely adopts them. For example, accelerometers became cheap because they were needed for air bags. LIDAR might not come down as much as those have, but it won’t be tens of thousands of dollars.

LIDAR generally works better at relatively short distances (like less than a km). Several other car companies are going with LIDAR and do alright. Musk thinks cameras with image recognition would be sufficient without anything else. It goes without saying that Musk is very wrong.

How to make Hamas, a group with a significant number of members who want to impose Islamic dress code on women, look like the good guys.

“Attention Bajoran workers” energy.

Having more than two browser engines out there would be nice for standardization reasons.

The Green Meanie? No, the magazine is in front of the trigger.
