Except we literally just had stories about ... LG, was it? ... spying on everything - and the obvious way for that to happen is to plug your TV into the internet.

Do we? Is it?

Having spent the last month staring into the abyss and Eldrich-level dread that is a pure, materialistic, reductionist universe, I wouldn’t wish that belief on anyone. There’s a deep, grasping of “there’s got to be more”, “this can’t all be chance”, “evolutionary hackery and garbage seems a poor explanation for love, compassion, empathy, and many other self-sacrificial practices we have”.

There’s only a few reasons that are slowly pulling me from that hell; but I cannot imagine that “most” people live here, even “deep down”.

Now compare clothing. Or Pyrex. Or the chocolate in candy bars.

Namely, these and monopolies are the end-stage of unregulated Capitalism. The big guy becomes evil and makes it so no small guy can ever enter the stage again.

It’s a major part of why we have anti-trust law, because the country knew where it would all go.

Eeeeh, closer to 3d printing.

You can completely clone board games and steal from their original makers OR you can make something new that didn’t exist before because there’s tools to facilitate your work that you didn’t have until now

There’s lots of ways to find joy in things.

Take woodworking. For some people, the act and meditative work of building it piece by piece is the part that they strive for. For others, it’s the planning phase and the “how will all these pieces go together” phase. For even others, it’s the staining phase. Some people like every part, others like just one part and work through all that extra just to get the chance to do that next part. For some, while they may not enjoy the preface to the work they want, they appreciate it because they feel that blitzing past it cheapens the stage they love.

Everyone is different and AI is hitting everyone just a little bit differently, and that’s just in areas that directly impact their specific craft.

Works fine for me? Orion Browser, iPhone

Will that be allowed in any multi-person-near-each-other track day? Exhaust that pushes must be very dangerous to be behind if you’re drafting and waiting for the next passing lane.

1000/day in what sounds like a single repo is a low number?

Like computer graphics, you can only tell the obvious or bad ones.

Tone analysis is one of the things they’re actually and consistently good at, so, yes.

> How so?

Expectation of usage. An iPad designer assumes it will be taken all around, leave the house, put in a book bag, etc.

While an old iPad being used as an entertainment management surface won’t, that’s not the prime use case intended for iPad.

Apple decided to focus on products whose primary purpose is a stationary device, like a speaker or a TV-attached device. Sure, you can move them place to place, but most won’t.

The nice thing about hashes is you can just put them into Google or wherever and see if they’ve been independently validated and how many times. Repositories like Chocolatey and even just Virus Total or message boards often have a history of “someone has seen it as this hash in the past”.

Perfect? No; but “time with this hash” and “what others have seen and for how long” does increase trust, at least for me

Which is why we have sha1, md5 and sha256 hashes on display, so you can validate with a very high level of certainty, especially for sha256 at least for now, that the file is the same one.

We have existing paradigms for this.

Additionally, installers are signed with certificates on Windows.

All of these are strictly more trustworthy than curl | bashing.

A big difference between the safety of "next > next > next > finish" and "curl | bash" is one of them is dynamically loaded from an external source that could change between runs, and the other can be fully downloaded and vetted in a single check, and then once it's safe, it's probably safe 10 years from now.
