Indeed if you don't accept science into your life you are left as a subsistence farmer who'll premake die before 40 of a preventable disease.

Fortunately for you, accepting it into your life is the default choice and you don't need it in your heart when you visit the hospital, just in the minds of the doctors.

You can of course really walk the walk and go back to leeches and rebalancing the humours. Of course if you do that you should also fuck off off the internet and not be a massive hypocrite benefiting from science while being a moron about it.

Also I would add that most accounts don't need a password.

Any account that has a "reset by email" option doesn't need a password. It's precisely as secure as your email account so they may as well send a one time token link to authenticate.

Loans usually come with interest usually charged so the interest rate is more than the expected loss (i.e. amount lost * probability) for whatever that estimate is worth. Generally both the lender and borrower expect to turn a profit.

Don't get me wrong, socalizing the risks (i.e. bailouts) and privatizing the profits (i.e. profits) happens all the time, and is bad. Bit I don't think a government loan is de-facto that, unless the terms are specifically designed that way.

Hm OK, followup question:

Is there a way I can make money on this without doing, like, actual work.

Sure, but there's an additional problem which is that AI is very good at generating convincing looking PRs that turn out to be junk. The result is it can be quite a lot of work to figure out how junky the PR is. It kind of falls into the category of "and this is why we can't have nice things". There's nothing wrong in principle with submitting a PR with AI assistance, if the PR is sound. But unfortunately people looking to get their name on the kernel, for props or just frist psot will flood the mailing list with a tidal wave of slop.

It might be better as a result to implement something approximating an automatic blanket ban.

I need a 300 mile range

This exists.

range and a 4 hour turn around

You can just about do that at home on AC if you have a good connection. It's only a 32A 3 phase connection.

I want to take the wife out to a movie in the evening after a long commute.

You want a 300 mile range, right? If you're commuting 250 miles round trip and then another, say, 50 to the cinema, frankly you need to evaluate your life choices. You're wasting your life on the road.

People not spending money is bad... how? This doesn't slow the economy any,

The economic activity is the movement of money, broadly speaking. Without spending of money there cannot be economic activity, so not spending is literally slowing the economy.

Speaking of UKCA...

in my line if work is don't think I've had a single UK customer ask about it. CE is still valid here mostly and everyone still asks for CE marking. It's all B2B by the way.

But also since we can get away with just CE, why would we go for just the local one and have to recertify anyway for a bigger market.

companies started planning their exit strategies.

The strategy was so crystal clear, "brexit means brexit" after all, that companies had no idea even what to plan for. The bad ones buried their heads in the sand, the good ones wasted avst amounts of time and money having to cover all reasonable contingencies.

Naturally, in keeping with the entire theme, it wasn't just planning for exit, it was an utter shitshow of trying to plan.

you get a very disorienting "why won't it slow down" feeling, and it's easy to panic.

You don't always even panic. It's weird: if you do something in muscle memory enough, you don't consciously think about doing it. This is why driving etc is smooth because you aren't thinking about every action. When something breaks [see what i did there!] you at best get a creeping feeling of wrongness that takes a while to percolate up to your conscious brain.

I can relate a few anecdotes.

One typically dismounts a bike by first lifting your foot up off the pedal before putting your foot down. After an accident where I slipped off a pedal climbing a hill, I switched to toe clips, which require you to tilt your foot down then slide it up and out. Lifting doesn't work. First time I came to a stop, I toppled over into a puddle while hauling my foot upwards, but not even thinking about it. I wasn't panicking because I hadn't even noticed until I was at about 45 degees at which point I had a brief flash of "oh shi..." before landing in the puddle. But it's funny: lower level part of my brain wanted to lift my foot and just kept applying increasing force to match the requirement, but didn't inform me.

Next (harmless) was on moving to the US. I was driving along and then my partner asked me what was wrong, which confused me. She then asked why I was batting at the door. I had *NO* idea I was doing that. I'd only ever driven a manual on the other side of the road. Based presumably on engine noise etc, my hand was searching continuously for the nonexistent gear stick on the wrong side of the car. The weird thing was it was going all of its own accord. And because nothing had gone really wrong, nothing jogged my low level brain out of that loop, so it was happily searching forever, and my conscious mind was completely unaware.

Third was in winter, wearing heavy boots driving an unfamiliar rental canyonero, and clipped the gas with the side of my boot while braking. The car wasn't slowing properly, and the low level feedback control part of my brain just kept commanding more force, so I kept kitting both pedals ever harder. I got a creeping feeling of wrongness as the car wasn't stopping, but it's basically of the form "why is my limb not working properly".

I then rear ended someone, and I can't remember how I realised what the fuck I was doing. Anyway the guy was really nice.

I'm going to go ahead and start this by quoting myself:

Now I'm going to quote you:

You actually can't read, can you?

The US budget is 6,800B per year.
0.62 is not what's getting in the way of ending homelessness, you fucking moron.

Use some of that passion for fixing problems, and engage your defective fucking gray matter to do it.

I can see that. By extension, you don't really know what you're talking about either, but that's a separate problem.

Yes. They do.

I don't. I talk about memorization. I know those 2 words have a lot of letters in common, but they are, in fact, different things in this context.

That's just objectively wrong.
Back to the example of a base64 decoder.
Who is the infringer? The person who fed the decoder base64 encoded infringing content, or the person who decoded it?

You're not arguing in good faith- you're desperately clinging to a determination you made long ago in spite of any fact that would make a rational person question that determination.

There isn't really a human analog.
In previous memorization lawsuits, it has required extremely suggesting priming within the context to produce the output, to the point of being eyerolling.

There's no case in human copyright law where you have to judge the infringing of "someone fed me 60% of a blurb of text, and I was able to complete the rest of it."

Even if it is, and it certainly isn't, the growth is predicated on more electricity generation infrastructure being installed than the world can build right now. And that's all heavy industry, you can't spin up new capacity overnight. It's nonsensical.
