Good point, thank you.

It took me a bit to understand what I think you meant:

Even when the cartridge is physically 3/4 full, the software will claim it is empty and not print.

Yeah, that sucks too.

Yep, Thank you

> demand for software is more or less infinite so if coding agents make everyone a 10x engineer eventually we will easily find use for 10x more software.

That will probably be true.

Commonly attributed to Upton Sinclair:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

Just like other advances in technology have replaced jobs, AI will replace jobs.

I'm sure the elevator opperators lamented push-button controls that anyone could just press too.

It sucks, but I imagine most programmers are smart enough to be able to pivot careers or how they do their jobs.

Your method does not protect against what the person you replied to, posted.

If your paper wallet, generated offline, used a bad RNG, it is just as vulnerable.

Wasn't there an offline wallet that used a poor algorithm to develop seed phrases, and thus someone stole all of those coins a couple of months ago?

Idk if they still do this, but a long time ago I had a Brother inkjet that wouldn't print black and white if one of the color cartridges was empty (cyan iirc).

That's also a possible factor in why those sitting in the rear half of the plane during a crash are more likely to survive - they have the front of the plane as the crumple zone.

Although for trains, it looks like the middle might be the safest (in case of a rear-end collision).

Did capitialism cause this train crash? I suppose it is too early to say what exactly happened.

I never did until some asshole randomly wrote my number down, now I get political messages addressed to him.

Just imagine how much we will see change in our lifetimes.

For some of us; that's dial-up, to AI, to who knows what.
