I already agreed it was a dumb idea. If that always stopped the leaders of powerful countries from starting wars, we wouldn't be talking about Iran.

> they'd be no worse off than today.

They will, assuming the people that went off grid stop paying for it. As fewer people pay for it the costs per capita grow


Yeah, this explains a lot!

Crazy times we are living in! First all the conspiracy theories about a huge pedo-ring controlling the world's government come true and then this?!


I find first version https://github.com/petrmikheev/endeavour much more impressive. Dude somehow managed to get 100MHz DDR1 ram working on 2 layer board with no ground reference :o Its one of those things you only attempt when crazy or dont know any better. Anyone with EE experience will tell you its impossible, like flying commercial grade SoCs in satellites :) Mad lad.

Don't you see the massive problem with requiring visual input? Are blind people not intelligent because they cannot solve ARC-AGI-3 without a "harness"?

A theoretical text-only superintelligent LLM could prove the Riemann hypothesis but fail ARC-AGI-3 and won't even be AGI according to this benchmark...


This! And even more, the role model extends beyond system and user: system > user > tool > assistant. This reflects "authority" and is one of the best "countermeasure": never inject untrusted content in "user" messages, always use "tool".

Ok, Claude.

If you’re against the EU you’re with Hungary and if you’re with Hungary, you’re with Orban and Putin: an enemy of democracy

cool idea, I imagine a lot of discovery of things to do will generally happen and be presented to us this way without much intervention on our part.

Where do you source the events from?


Thank you for clarifying this.

This could lead to a broader culture, because the most popular works would get long copyright protection terms, while the relatively unpopular ones would get short protection terms. This could mean that people would be more likely to try to use those unpopular works and perhaps breathe new life into them.

Eg imagine if this is how the system worked right now. You could have streamers watch unpopular (modern) movies with their audience or a youtuber could read a book to people. And it wouldn't have to be content that's 100+ years out of date.

You could also make it so that once the copyright protection expires that the work first enters into a compulsory licensing term, where a percentage of the income earned through the use of the work gets paid to the author for some number of years. Eg you're free to use it, but you've got to pay some amount of the revenue to the author for let's say 10 years.


> That would be catastrophic to Israel: they could face Iran from the air and Arab ground forces from multiple directions. In fact there are already signs that Egypt is moving towards that, troops are moving in to the Sinai. There is a real chance that Israel could cease to exist.

Israel is a nuclear power, there is no conceivable scenario in which Israel would cease to exist that doesn't involve nuclear war. Israel also has a long history of defeating coordinated attacks from their neighbors with conventional means alone.


White House said they'll bomb the energy sector if Iranians don't comply. That would be a war crime. Yes, Russia has been doing that for years, but a US president saying that is a new low.

Again, wierd. No one is doing that. But for some reason you decide that someone has done something to you, or done anything at all to anyone.

Sounds like russian troll talking point.

Eh in a way, I can see both sides of the coin. On one hand if Fed governors didn't have independence, the inflation rate would make Venezuela look like a bastion of economic management. On the other hand, you end up with situations like this where the EC can just keep trying to force in poor policy.

Even if the law included the literal phrase "Congress shall make no law" or "shall not be infringed", there would still be carve-outs and exceptions deemed acceptable and non-infringing because at the end of the day it's the government, and they'll do what they want, because who exactly is going to stop them?

EU is not a government for all EU members. You should look into what EU is and how it works before attacking it. Claiming that it's "ultra national" would mean that all of EU is one nation which shares one ideological, cultural and political sphere. There are 27 EU members with 24 official languages, 20 of those countries are part of the Euro currency zone.

But if you are a US citizen, I would refrain talking about increased control of life outside of your own turf. Your education system is controlled either government or religious groups. Your streets are patrolled by uneducated police troops without control and they are detaining even US citizens without due process. Now your government says they will block all foreign made routers. And did you forget NSA Prism program? Your voting system is controlled via gerrymandered maps which are changing constantly depending who's in the control. Lots of your citizens are living paycheck to paycheck and one health issue can bankrupt them and only way to survive is to ask money from strangers via gofundme. All because of healthcare and insurance companies greed and politicians lack of interests of their constituents.

Yeah, the EU legislation about privacy and chat control is problematic but saying that US is doing so much better for it's citizens is a stretch.


I guess that's the definition of 'iconic' - many a time I have approached someone wearing a Ramones or Motörhead T-shirt trying to chat a bit, only to be told 'Sorry, don't know the music at all, but the shirt is cool...'

Gabba gabba hey!


Blackstone is actually a cleverly chosen name after the founders themselves - Steve Schwarzmann and Peter Peterson.

Sure, but then you end up with stuff like this happening time and time again. If something doesn't pass the first time, put it through again, and again.

It makes a lot of sense. I would also try to get my customers to do work for me if I were confident they would never churn.

"Should", but I've seen a pretty disturbing video where a pit bull took a lot more than one hit. And it only let go after it died, I've never seen anything like it.

This does work good with Linux and Firefox on older PCs too.

Right, but the question was “how does this app make money?” And the app being ios/mac only isnt at all relevant to that question.

Incredibly what?

And eDP is a differential signal at 200 or 400 millivolts so I don't see how that's "quite incorrect". It's not "the" LVDS but it's still in the category.


AI output is non-deterministic right? Can both of you be right? Maybe it gets it right sometimes, and doesn't other times.

It's not that hard to implement. I did: https://github.com/lone-cloud/gerbil


ooooh you're one of _those_. america is for the white's. immigrants should assimilate to Our Western Culture types.

like it or not, those immigrants are your countrymen now. they have an equal vote to you. learn to coexist and compromise. that's the spirit of this country. i don't see any degradation of America here.

should've known better than to engage. that type is always in bad faith (sartre quote blah blah blah)
