Many laws are ignored. The solution is not no laws.

Because they can write it down. Good for them.

Music theory is a way of describing that cool thing you played, not the other way around

The agents are like ants, and ants build like crazy until the resources run out in winter. AI winter is going to be interesting, to say the least.

You seem to be suggesting that it's impossible to successfully sue the federal government, which is provably untrue. Yes the government abuses the rights of its citizens and will vehemently defend itself if challenged, but suit is the one of the more potent peaceful means we have to redress grievances with them.

As this is a civil discussion, being rude is uncalled for. Maybe go for a walk in nature and get your head back on straight.

Yes, citizens should sue the government when the government takes actions which are grounds for suit. The government sure will come after your money if you do things they say you shouldn't, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Maybe get him something nice to cheer him up

Barbecue joints don't usually serve steaks. Tri tip, maybe, but if you're talking barbecue and beef then it's brisket.

Magnesium, L-Theanine, and vitamin d. Make a regular bed time for yourself, and stop looking at screens 30 minutes before that time. Regular is more importantly than early, I.e. 11:30 is passable but only if it's always 11:30.

And also quicker/easier to screw up in subtle and insidious ways!

And as a senior engineer, I'm not interested in cleaning up vibe code. When I review a PR for a junior dev they learn from my suggestions (or I tell their boss they're not learning). Having to correct an AI is a waste of my time.

The notes are in a similar layout, but violin and cello strings are tuned to fifths, where guitar and bass guitar strings are tuned to fourths. The fingering patterns for scales and shapes of arpeggios/cords are going to be frustratingly close but different for anyone jumping into (or out of) the orchestra pit on a whim.

Rockstar interactions with young female fans are not as limited as you say. Regardless, celebrity worship is far from a new societal problem. Confiding with the toaster as though it grew up with you sure is.

There's meet-ups and conferences and events, being a fan of a streamer or influencer is really just the new version of being a fan of a rockstar (for better and for worse). There's no real humanity exuding from an Amazon Echo, you're just a blip in a context window.

The sad part is that it pretends to care about the user which creates a one-way emotional bond. We're in for some dark times

The exercise you like doing and will do beats no exercise at all for blood sugar control

This post is about using AI to teach 5 year olds...

It used the words "freeze your hands"

You trailed off into a "might make right" argument at the end there

I was making a dessert recipe last week where everything including utensils needed to stay cold, and Gemini suggested I freeze my hands in an ice bath before getting started.

I've found LLMs to be bad at balancing parenthesis. I've also found them to be less likely to hallucinate library types in dynamic languages, they tend to hallucinate arguments to library functions/methods instead.

Only if it's a closed loop

You might not be able to afford to put up power lines or build a road, but that doesn't mean you physically cannot. By your logic there are no natural monopolies

Hell yes. More than a third of Americans would run their two and a half ton pickup trucks on burning copies of An Inconvenient Truth if it were at all possible

The number of AI companies there can be is absolutely hard-limited by infrastructure. The ones which exist currently are racing like hell to horizontally integrate everything from network to power and water for themselves

That is an inherent and unavoidable risk regardless, as things stand if you want access to frontier models you are at the mercy of their providers.

This stuff all looks great, I can't wait to upgrade to 31 and then forget about all of it and just keep using Emacs the same way I have been for the past 20 years, /again/

Without all the oxytocin you get from hanging out with a newborn that would be awful

That's an interesting question, but the answer probably isn't worth the trauma you'd inflict on a child by intentionally raising them to be completely unaware of the existence of hats.

Why is it "people are willing to pay" and not "corporations are brazen enough to charge"? These utilities are necessities and relatively few people have access to cheaper alternatives to them.
