True, but line isn’t going down yet.

1000 years, that’s when the region becomes habitable once again.

Notice how the guy’s legs don’t line up with the body?

Well, seems like he learned his lesson. Would have been better if he had learned it before his bad advice got children killed, but at least he learned instead of doubling down.

Sort of yes, but also no. High tier LLM’s are all offered well below cost. So if the costs were to go up, a lot of current users would not be able to afford to run AI agents anymore.

Mistaking the map for the territory. The argument isn’t that bitcoin is bad because it’s used to buy drugs, it’s bad because the network would choke if it even had to handle the economic activity of a moderately sized town.

“Accidentally” CC your reply to the mailing list with everybody in it.

I figure a ban of targeted advertisement would look like “The ads are only allowed to change once a day, and everybody during said day sees the same ads”. Whereas currently, each time you load a website, there’s an impromptu auction to sell the ad spots. (Advertisers don’t actually have to pay until you click their ad).

If you do the 1st one, then most companies likely wouldn’t bother with such algorithms anymore.

Think buying an apartment on credit vs renting it. The apartment bought on credit you’ll eventually own, but not the rented one. So assuming you need an apartment, buying on credit can easily be the better decision.

Fun fact, but you can’t really do much if the police decide to just take your stuff, because they have guns. And likely more than you do.

I’m in favor of a land value tax. See Georgism.

The problem is that even confirmed abuse does not get prosecuted. Adding more evidence won’t help.

Snowman has about the same visibility as a child. So if you can’t avoid hitting a snowman, you’d also hit a child on the road.

If you can’t stop for a snowman, you can’t stop for a child.

I’ve read about guilds literally banning innovation in a 12 part series on German history.

Nobody did that by hand even before Gen Ai was invented. Even before photography or computers, there were techniques to get textures without manually drawing them. The splotches, for example, could be accomplished by shaking the brush at the canvas.
