I can prompt and LLM to prove this and it gives me 5 reasons HOAs are making things worse.

And land where? This was a controlled, scripted stunt with no human inside. It was already risky. Using it in uneven, unmapped terrain would require real time navigation, waaaay more air time to account for those.

For the buyer, yes. But this one also makes zero sense to the maker.

The time machine actually accomplishes something. I fail to see what this accomplishes other than a very cool circus stunt. Straight out of fast and furious. Which is great and all, but not a production car.

It flies the same as a chicken. Cushion and long jumps but not flying as in flying car or plane.

14% is a lot.

I think you can work around it very easily by stopping down the lens and using filters.

But I’m sure if the phone has direct connection to the device and not working through hubs it’s not anywhere near 1s of delay.

Depends on how powerful of a light you’re using. 1 second on a 7 second exposure is too much. One second on a 20, not.

It’s not a nod. It’s required to not ruin the paper during use. A specific yellow would also work but phone screens often output more than just the desired color. Red is the safest.

Let’s all just watch go karts and ignore what F1 always was because we think electricity is political now.

New comment by guax in ""Torturing" LLMs in a Robot Prison Has Triggered the Dumbest Debate in AI Yet"

guax — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 10:39:33 +0000

The only part of this discussion that caught my attention as to being very interesting is the one where the software feeling anything is irrelevant and flips the question around. Asking about the intent of torturing/damaging object or things for what purpose. It makes some interesting lines of tough about human behaviour, purpose and ways to make points that are more interesting to me than if this code actually experience real distress.

As to it being an Asylum. I don't think it ever felt any different.

> not much have changed.

So much have changed. The way we shop, travel, navigate a town, the way we socialize, receive information. My formative memory is during the transition from computers are a furniture piece and internet a thing you do to being on your pocket with constant high speed connection and the difference is incredible.

I was also part of the people that thought everyone having access would turn out a lot better than it ended up being. I think the issue is not that it did not change much, is that good changes got offset a bit by a lot of very bad outcomes.

No comment on the distribution and concentration part, that one I agree.

> Nitpick but solid wood furniture does not weigh more than the particleboard furniture from Ikea.

What is this special space time dilation wood you found? If its made of hardwood it will be a lot heavier. If it weights similarly and its solid wood is usually very soft and will live as long or less than IKEA furniture.

Reading their email it seems like it was indeed under the event block. But the "called on my behalf" is a bit sus anyways.
