The anti-cheat problem is long-running and complicated. If you choose not to run anti-cheat because you understand that these are opaque rootkits, good for you! That's a totally, 100% valid choice. But please keep in…
It's fun to experiment and try out ideas - kudos to the author for doing this and sharing the results with the community, I love that. As far as the results go, though, I don't see any realistic scenario where this is a…
Amit Patel has been my hero since Solar Realms Elite.
I agree with this recommendation - they work great with Wireguard. And if you're travelling, some of the features like handling captive portals are handy.
> Honestly this feels like an indictment of privatizing space travel NASA has involved the private sector for over half a century. Taking that out of the equation leaves you with SpaceX absolutely killing it and Boeing…
> The interconnection of “the divine” and science was central to the scientific revolution Agreed. Even today, for many people there is no fatal tension between science and religion (often in large part because they…
Mal: "We got work to do, dong ma?"
Agreed, and so far the replies to your question are (for me at least) deeply unsatisfying. We already had SSR back in the CGI days, and it was awesome when we moved a lot of that stuff to the client. I know this is all…
...yes? Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. :) (funny enough, that particular scenario is actually harder to miss in Python since it often produces an error that prevents the program from running at…
Because the definition of 'art' is somewhat philosophical, the more salient question is "will AI make something indistinguishable from art?" and the answer is easy: yes.
I believe that this is one of the key takeaways for reasoning about LLMs and other seemingly-magical recent developments in AI: "tasks—like writing essays—that we humans could do, but we didn’t think computers could do,…
Hey now, you're moving the goal posts quite a bit there! :) I was just pointing out that you said several things as if they were proven facts, and they are not. That's all.
Nah, if someone puts forth an argument that is fundamentally flawed, it's neither wrong to point it out nor on me to do their thinking for them. That said, if we want to talk taxes, I think a progressive tax system is…
This is stating as fact several things that have not and cannot be proven by tools such as the scientific method. Seems ironic, given the subject matter. :)
Exactly this. Typing in the final version is great. Typing up front is almost always getting in the way. Most interesting programs involve a lot of figuring things out as you go, and so any "tax" on that process is one…
>> "Most companies simply are not very good vehicles for bringing about social change." > That's just not true. Corporations have been maybe the single biggest driver of social change in the last couple of centuries I'd…
A guide who loves the subject matter can make an incredible difference - I had a physics teacher who had a contagious love for it, and those who were naturally curious about the subject learned a lot while even the…
No, no fallacy - in interviews with activist employees who got fired, it's not uncommon to see both surprise as well as outrage. Regardless, I was commenting on the ones who seem genuinely surprised that being fired was…
Exactly, and that's how it should be. But all too often (both with this protest and earlier ones at Google), the people who receive consequences seem shocked about being fired.
Part of me feels like the untapped potential is just one of many symptoms of all of the dysfunction going on, and if you can fix some of the dysfunction, then you'd not only unleash some of that potential but fix a…
The books are pretty good IMO.
I wash my car annually, whether it needs it or not!
Your comment was a fun trip down memory lane. I'd read Nibble cover to cover, and especially scrutinize Beagle Bros advertisements because of the little one liner programs they'd often include. Good times!
It would be so great if Nintendo were just a software company. Over the years they have put out some really terrific games, many of which I'd still buy today if they sold them as software. But after the Wii I stopped…
What on earth are you talking about? We give cost of living increases to every employee every single year.
