So we're just going to let tech monopolists make accessibility impossible, are we? Fuck that!
That's even worse
I'm actually a fan. It's an excellent exploration of sarcasm: what you literally say in a sarcastic tone might have a metaphorical meaning, or it might be a twice application of sarcasm that loops back to literal…
I second guessed my usage, but decided it was a good way to communicate my lack of experience and confidence in the specifics.
A random factoid that will always stick in my brain is that the damage a vehicle does to a road is proportional to the weight on an axel...to the fourth power. I suspect rerouting semis to the roadway is by far the…
There is more here then pedantry, but if you aren't interested in it, then go right ahead and live your life.
I think it's a good distinction to make between having and being, which seems to be what the whole "stochastic parrots" bit was intended to make all along. It doesn't make sense to say a model is in possession of its…
But the stochastic parrot (LLM) is the world model, isn't it? What's the difference?
How can you articulate a criticism without a repetition of your criticism becoming "inherently pejorative"? You can't. That's just the way the news goes. Essentially, what you are saying is that because some people…
How about accountability? How could that possibly be too much to ask?
They can't afford to buy every other successful studio, which means that their anticompetitive moat has to be competitive. Otherwise, they could have made the whole thing profitable the usual Microsoft (monopolist) way.
...more like > We can't afford it, and it's a bad investment anyway
It's because people are too obsessed with providing complete instructions to incorporate any package manager into their instructions. What we are really missing is an explicit progression from new software to maintained…
And none of them are in my living room, nor do they belong there. The government does not get to put child locks on my liquor cabinet, or even keep me from leaving booze out on the counter. They get to restrict…
> I'd say it's not really so much a theory as a definition of the word "value" And that's my point. It's a tautology that demands our participation, while at the same time literally devaluing participation itself. If…
They say "arguing", but really this is about bickering. Arguments are constructive. Bickering is just engagement. I argue with people so I can construct my worldview, and maybe sometimes even construct the world around…
Maybe that is the case. I'm definitely not an expert, just sharing my understanding of the situation.
I was glossing over that detail, yes. You can pay the municipality for filtered water, or dig a well. If you dig a well, you probably own the lot, and also own associated water rights. Otherwise, you are paying for…
That, and it defines children as perpetrators instead of victims. What right could a citizen ever claim in a world where even children are guilty? There is a huge difference between protecting children and…
An identity doesn't need to be more than a public gpg key. Anything else is just what they (or anyone, really) say about themselves relative to a given subject.
Fun! People in a town square still have identities. They are just likely to not know each other. I think this is a significant part of a great idea. What it, and most/all other communication software is missing, is the…
If I would have spent ten years writing the Great American Novel, but spent all my time working elsewhere so I could afford to live, then yes. Why in the hell would anyone spend ten years writing "All work and no play…
Because you don't pay for the water, you buy the rights. Water is treated like an infinite source with a limited flow rate, and the source itself is sold as property. The solution is not to price water as a commodity,…
Most people I know (in Utah) are predominantly concerned with the pollution and water use. Water is the most ubiquitous concern across politics in Utah. No matter what political ideology you adhere to, water rights and…
You feel entitled to recompense from the publisher, because they are profiting from your labor. The problem I brought up is still there, just in the hands of the publisher, and not the writer. Now the publisher gets to…
