When you buy the computer, the price of a Windows licence is included in the sticker price. Even if you never boot Windows you've already paid for it.

Who is talking about illegal immigration? This thread is about legal visa holders following the law.

I think you’ve missed the implication.

This is definitely the least welcome 80 year old Home Alone 2 actor to pass away.

If you believe the hype then this isn't a transformation like, say, the power loom replacing handmade textiles. Both AI boosters and doomers are envisioning a future where almost all white collar work is obsolete. It isn't just one industry, its broad swaths labour across all segments of the economy.

> Like why isn't there a 'move this function from this file to this file' tool (copy/paste char range)

There is, you can install LSPs for a given language which act as just another tool the model can use to more efficiently manipulate code.

What does the quality of Siri vs ChatGPT have to do with the argument made in the article?

I’m not trying to dismiss the investments she made (both time and money), but more point out that she was not driven by the same corrupting motivations you get with typical billionaires. If she was, she’d have taken her wealth and done more capitalism with it.

She is an outlier in the sense that she is both “new money” and also “old money” (she did the equivalent of inheriting money in her settlement with Bezos).

She was, at one time, a normal person, with normal friends and normal parents. However unlike most other “new money” billionaires she acquired her wealth without the corrupting influence of being a master of the universe business person where everyone in your circle is falling over themselves to gas up your ego.

What does it matter if the zoning laws are local or national? You're OK with the feds telling you what you can and can't do with your land, but not local governments? Seems like a distinction without a difference.

There is a market for the gamblification of everything because there is no other widely accessible path for young people to build a future. A college degree is no longer a guaranteed path to a stable, well paying job. Building wealth through real estate is no longer viable.

With no clear options the only visible path to building a modicum of wealth is timing the next big crypto rugpull, hitting a 5 leg parlay, ripping a shiny charizard etc...

We can (and should) try and regulate away this kind of gambling but the underlying problem remains.

A hungry tick is much more likely to make your life miserable because you’re significantly more likely to encounter one in ecosystems with both species.

This is false, they’re called “Land Use Zones” in Japan. It’s a national system, unlike in the west which is largely implemented piecemeal by municipality.
