You could end it with "Python is not a great language".

Now, is Python a SUCCESSFUL language? Very.

I don't quite understand the name. Sort of follows the "I wrote this in C++" convention of naming.

I'm still a fan of HJSON, and JSON5 looks quite nice, but this does as well. That's all I can really say. There are so many choices, but looks like you did really well on this one.

The Supreme Court is bought and paid for by the group that wants to ~~ban~~ likely take over. So, regardless of what your thoughts on TikTok are, it's mostly all irrelevant.

Love every bit of this type of stuff that mostly only the younger generations are doing. Maybe someday, our society will move away from slaving away in terrible environments to realistically only raise up a handful of humans.

New comment by NuSkooler in "Is A.I. Art Stealing from Artists? (2023)"

NuSkooler — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 16:17:43 +0000

These discussions continue to come up, and I feel like it's wasting time on the wrong issues.

Is AI *borrowing concepts* from artists? Yep. Do artists borrow concepts from other artists? Yep. Is AI or humans in a vacuum when creating new art? Nope. Is the cat out of the bag? Yep. Is this the same with text? Code? Literally anything AI generates? Yep.

A major problem is AI being used to replace humans, which of course, is borrowing concepts from humans... which, oops, you just replaced. It's not just artists.

We have much bigger issues than "AI is stealing my art". It's really not. It's just being used to "optimize" you, the human, out of the equation.

The suggestion to switch to Chrome is pretty rich. Firefox is more privacy conscious Chrome even with this enabled.

I've been trying to convince people of this for years. The problem is from my view, that people have the idea of IP being some sort of the American Dream ingrained in their heads that they can't even reason about anything else.

NuSkooler — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 15:50:07 +0000

No clear answers? Maybe you should ask some of them. The younger generations are constantly talking about it - while the older generations are constantly talking about it as well, just from a different perspective.

People are tired of capitalism reducing them to numbers that the powers that be -- now corporate interests -- give no shits about.

No, it feels that way because music is a monthly service, any media is a monthly service cost, backups are monthly service cost, news are a monthly service cost, VPN is a monthly service cost, internet is of course a monthly service cost, password management is a monthly service cost, anti-malware/AV is a monthly service cost, ...this list just goes on and on.

And they want $10/month for unlimited searches full well and knowing $5/300 isn't even a reasonable bracket for half of us.

It's steep, and we're all swimming in in these costs.

$5/unlimited would be more reasonable, but it still piles on all these SaaS costs that everyone now uses. Gotta grow grow grow grow you know. Capitalism is great!
