I don't think the kid did anything at all.

Pretty sure it was this one.

I should have said unconstitutional.

As it stands there are other laws that deal specifically with flying that could very much make this illegal, and probably do.

"Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout "fire" in a theater depends on the circumstances in which it is done and the consequences of doing it. The act of shouting "fire" when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. "

If you were trying to show that it is illegal, you made a poor choice.

well, at my current job they use NoSQL, in this case it's DynamoDB and it's been frustrating at times. So I asked the question: why are we dealing with these problems day in, day out, if the problems we're trying to solve have been solved half a century ago with SQL?

The answer is cost. The way we access data may be convenient to do with SQL, but it's also expensive. We have big (not webscale but large) volumes of data coming in every day. Having this on SQL would cost us tens of thousands a month. Keeping it in DynamoDB costs us a few hundred. And it's stupidly fast - if we wanted to get that kind of performance from SQL we'd have to pay for a supercharged overprovisioned server.

And honestly it's been fun. It's turned "boring business software development" back into more of an engineering problem.

I see the problem as a more "get off my lawn" types here. They have fully adopted "vibe coding" as "anything made with AI assistance" as much as older people call anyone younger than them "millennials".

There's a big difference between an experienced programmer providing the AI with clear, concise prompts and guidance; than having someone with zero knowledge trying to build an entire app from scratch.

One is "augmented capabilities", the other is vibe coding. But the haters here just refuse ANY sort of AI involvement.

I refuse to believe the claim that "this would require billions of dollars and at least five years to get a factory operational."

There is clearly enormous amounts of money circulating in the industry right now. If a company like Nvidia genuinely wanted to manufacture its own memory, it absolutely could. Even with initially poor yields, the economics could still work. A 50% yield rate is far less concerning when RAM prices have increased by 200%, especially for a company purchasing memory in massive volumes alongside its hardware partners.

From my perspective, this looks less like an unavoidable technical limitation and more like market consolidation and price coordination. Companies have become comfortable charging substantial premiums for RAM, and the current situation provides a convenient justification for it.

I was never offered a free upgrade path and I only have 2 accounts: mine, and the admin one they force you to pay for. I was on the legacy plan and they forced me to pay.

What? Water still effects lasers at 1550nm. I guarantee this is a hybrid system that uses radio when weather conditions demand.

they also remove drag-hover-drop . it's so infuriating to have to organize your windows in a specific way to drag a file over to another window, OR use ctrl-c/ctrl-v

it was as easy as drag the icon to the next window "through the taskbar" which made the other window come front, and drop the icon.

i guess they removed that option since they started forcing taskbar grouping by default. a feature i remove from every windows and KDE machine I set up. I don't see any benefit in "grouping" or "compacting into an icon". if i wanted that behavior i'd just get a mac.

we have two options: live with a bug, or hope the fix doesn't introduce another bug.

i mean that's not a bad thing either. I sometimes DO NOT want to learn "new to me" things. I've been contributing to an ancient, but still used software called Xastir. It's VERY OLD spaghetti code, low level X11 with Motif. I DO NOT want to learn Motif. It's not a marketable skill or something I'll ever need. But I let the AI code a few contributions (one of them was replace some parts with Cairo fonts for antialias in high dpi scerens, and the other was fixing a very old screen drawing routine that took 2-3 minutes on a Raspberry Pi 2 and cut it down to 5 seconds). Could I have fixed this bug? Not even in my wildest dreams. Do I care how it was fixed? Oh no. No I don't. I just checked that the output of the LLM was reasonable.

How does it codify anything? To codify something in law it would need to pass though Congress and be signed into law by a president. None of which happened for "Qualified Immunity". The Supreme Court has no authority to create anything by fiat.

You think surveillance pricing is about poor people paying less? Oh you naive fool.

Lol imagine defending a 75% tax rate. Fucking communists.
