> the US considers any country its ally.

It shares that intelligence with the countries it was gathered from. It's been explicitly stated many times that this is an intentional work around for weak constitutional provisions on protection of citizens.

I spy on your guys. You spy on mine. We all share notes.

This isn't a "The US vs. The World" this is "The Wealthy vs. The Poor."


That's what happens when you have a two party system but more than two political philosophies. Given that both parties will work tirelessly to prevent a third party from forming I think the level of corruption should be understood to extend _well past_ the White House.

It's a census: it's only function is to determine the number of representatives your state should have.

Please don't ask about my toilets, my demographics, or my religion.

Thanks.


I've done nearly the same thing and have called it 'keyd' as well.

It's a little more inspired by a "djb" style design. Instead of having a configuration file, the program takes a single argument which is meant to be a directory. Then, if code 113 is pressed, it looks for an executable file named '113' in the given directory and if it exists will execute it. If not found it then tries '113+', then on release it will try '113-'.


Given that it's most public use in open source so far is to whitewash GPL code into MIT code, no, I'm sorry, I don't think "open source AI" is particularly important.

Do you have any publicly available demonstrations of this claim?

> A lot of you don't want to hear it

That there are skill differences in the use of technology? On the contrary this knowledge makes me suspicious of undocumented claims like yours.

> this is a user issue.

Another claim I wish was quantified. With all the billions invested I assumed this would naturally come to exist. I may have just missed it. Any pointers?


> Do you have any publicly available demonstrations of this claim?

Yeah I mean for example I wrote up a new audio mixer application for TDE using basically claude and just saying - hey rewrite the old ALSA one with Pulse/Pipewire.... its awesome. I dont know how it works.,


Is the assumption that the LLM did the translation? Or that it just understood your query and submitted, on your behalf, to a tool you could have just used directly?

Then I'd have to ask of publishers please don't use subscription oriented paywalls. I'd be happy to pay for an article here and there. I do not want to understand your subscription model, compare benefits between "tiers" of subscriptions, or think about how to cancel when I eventually realize I'm not getting the value I hoped for.

This is the price of that dark pattern. These sites wouldn't exist if they acted like publishers instead of retailers.


Most digital subscriptions to large news organizations are in the order of $5 - $10/month.

If you can't afford 16¢ a day, then you have bigger problems.

If you don't want to pay monthly because you find it inconvenient, well boo hoo. Just do without. The world, and its journalists, don't owe you anything.

I find the exercise of buying a car to be tedious. That doesn't justify me just driving one off the lot without paying.


Except it's not one subscription, it's a subscription to whatever today's post links to. It sums up.

Same reason Netflix had massively reduced video piracy, and that piracy being back nowadays.


Or he's broadcasting his intention to destroy world governments and institute a new global order under technocratic control. He's banking on a US General not understanding the deeper lore behind of the name.

He literally considers Saruman the good guy, Mordor the good place, and Gandalf the bad guy (holding back technological progress)

Wait seriously?

I'm pretty sure Tolkien would be furious at the mere idea. He could not have written more thoroughly black and white morality if he tried...


It’s based on a retelling of the story that isn’t as black and white and more based around the idea that technology and progress are good.

I haven’t read it but the premise is quite cool. Of course having Thiel as a fan kinda ruins it but I still wanted to read it sometime.

Well if the stories where realistic the shire would overproduce people in 3 generation and then export miserable mercenaries ala afghanistan for the rest of days.

In folklore, supernatural monsters are often compelled to show their true selves in non-obvious ways.

Cars already have lots of wear items and a mature service industry for them. If I can reliably get at least 50k miles out of it, then I wouldn't be all that bothered, as this is not likely to be an expensive part or service.

> mature service industry for them

The car service industry is a scam, and I am glad that EVs require minimal to no servicing that cannot be easily DIY like tires and brakes.


Yet they still charge me the same price as my ICE to service! What a scam.

so apparently on the BMW i4s it requires a rear subframe drop which isn't going to be cheap (10s of hours).
