> we need to shine a light on evil and wrongdoers globally and imprison them

bro you need to turn of your computer. what the heck are you concerning yourself with here actually? Look outside your window, THAT is your TRUE reality. (as an exercise point your finger at anyone who you want imprison...).

Those, who are endlessly shouting at each other on Twitter etc., arguing with AI bots, addicted to things irrelevant to their lifes ... are just lost. Don't be one of them. Tune out and focus on things that actually matter to you.

protip: do not drink fanta, do not eat mcdonalds fries, do eat oats (but just buy real oats and throw in raspberrys or whatever), do not eat chips. Doesn't matter whether you are in the US or UK :)

The answer is obvious, you synthesize hydrocarbons. It's your guess as to why this isn't done or hardly even talked about.

Not my cup of tea personally, but I recommend watching his interview with Lex Fridman for some behind the scenes insight. He comes across as incredible smart and knows exactly what he's doing. Also not afraid to re-invest millions of dollars into producing these videos. Obviously it's very much a for-profit endeavour. Not sure, don't think he's fooling anyone and his accomplishments deserve at least some respect I think.

The game is truley mind blowing. The rules are simple and clear, there are no special hidden tricks, yet almost every puzzle goes from "it's impossible" to "oh didn't think of that". Truley shatters you assumptions over and over.

Some of it will undoubtly be super useful. Things like:

- Proofread button in mail.

- ChatGPT will be available in Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools in macOS

I expect once you'll get used to it, it'll be hard to go without it.

Hope they can deliver. Right now Apple hardware is silly compared to PC+Nvidia if you wanna play around with GenAI. Both in price and performance. Worst case macs end up as thin-clients, all AI running on Nvidia in the cloud. Would eat into their competive advantage a lot I think.

RIP my friend. Good thing you found the energy to warn us before dieing. By the way, your first sentence is missing a verb. Your second sentence is missing the word "way". Your third sentence should end with a period and the first word should be capitalized. I hope you can still use your last breaths to correct these mistakes. We must give our everything to avoid further casulties in future generations.

Orderly, rational people. Hard working, rich country, despite no natural wealth. No cutting corners, one of the reasons bureaucracy is so horrid. You are expected to have your shit together, still people are as lenient as they can be. Things work, you can trust people. Low crime, clean streets. Good sense of morality. Country is capable of much more, still holds itself back a lot, preference in humbleness. Things are built on solid foundations. Not a bad place to be.

Maybe try Soylent & Co. My favorite is Mana. Been drinking it for a while now, seems to be really good for you. Very convient too. Should be way more popular I think.

The biggest pitfall is DRY imho. Write generic code, reuse abstractions. It's the most elegant way. Except it always tends to lead to these god classes, super systems, that try to be most flexible and to do everything. Then comes the point where it becomes impossible to understand all the interactions and half of your codebase falls apart if anything changes. All because you were to proud to copy & paste a few lines like it's a deadly sin.

Man I feel for the artists. Seen a lot of outcry among people I've worked with too. It just seems so unfair. Like what are we doing? We automated away one of the most pleasing, satisfing and skill intensive endeavours humans can undertake. A dreadful reality we'll probably have coming to our jobs soon enough too.

Bitter truth is though, it's not going away. The genie is out of the bottle, and if you are a talented artist, you absolutly need to embrace AI. If you take a look at DeviantArt AI section for example you'll see: The bar has been raised. It's masterpiece next to masterpiece now. Talented artists + AI = Simply stunning work.

It feels heartless, but what can we do, will you be able to stay competive without AI? It feels you'll be just hampering yourself for idealistics reasons.

No mate, people value themselves and get the best thing they can have. Smartphones are so essential now and used 24/7, don't cheap out on it. You don't cheap out on food either. Nothing to do with status. Not all about Apple either, there are nice premium Android phones as well. What are you doing, saving for a golden tombstone?

Dear human. We know. All of it. Always have. The things you are concerned about are not yours to solve. Why are you asking for an energy source, do you not have enough energy, how are you writing your blog? Don't be silly. You want better propulsion fuels? That is what you came here to ask for? Or maybe your problem is that you have none?

Ugh harsh piece. Yeah you can argue fundamentally there's no deeper meaning to traveling then to entertain the traveler. That it is selfish and to the detriment of others. Certainly not completely untrue, but what a inhumane spin on the topic. This is nihilistic way of thinking.

Not bad at all. CCP is handling the game well, modernizing the client, UI etc. It's in a pretty good state. But it's also not so much different from what it was 10 years ago. Playing extremly casual these days though, maybe once a week I log in and do a site or something. It's just so relaxing, almost zen, worth the subscription for me. Happy this is still going.

Air Pods Max. Totally worth it. Automatically turns on/off, automatically pairs with the device you're using. Active Noise Cancellation is a godsend, i.e. if you have people with lawnmowers around you, this will improve your life more than anything else you can buy. Effortless to clean. Ear cushions come off and you can just put them into the washing machine. Great build quality, has a nice volume dial with click sounds. Build-in microphones. Sound is top notch too.

This is so sad honestly. Like wtf is going on, no apology, no good will, doubling down on the complete moral suicide of Reddit. To push an app no-one ever liked, you know that, but whatever. No-one likes “new” Reddit either, you know that, but whatever. Who’s even gonna use the site after this? Social media zombie sheeple is all that's going to be left. Congrats on your dumb little site, from the front-page of the Internet, to the rear end of the internet. You killed your babies, man. Antagonising your most loyal users, for what? Bit of cash? Are you guys starving or what??

Man idk. I hope San Francisco is doing good. This is supposed to be the city of hippies and love, but lately not so much good news coming out of there. It really makes me sad to see Reddit explode like this.
