ICBMs are literally the #1 encyclopedia article example of militaristic dick-flexing. My rocket can touch you from all the way over here.

Did you just make an argument for the benefits of dual-use research by citing the bad part?? A lot of people associate the space race with a sort of cover for arms research... but think of all the cool weapons we got! Even from you man, wow, lol

That's not how anything actually works. 18/19 will simply be blocked by the next bottleneck. The other one is doing rework with the AI because requirements shifted. Producing LOC was never the biggest bottleneck, and anyone in or around software development knows that.

It's just like how nail guns are 20x faster than hammers, and they don't shrink a roofing crew 20x. You all are fucking weird the way you overhype something with mental gymnastics to tear it down with more bullshit. Yes it is just a tool.

Reads like "I don't know how to use the command line"

Kind of goes away for a major use case when it's > commute and charged overnight.

Most of us should probably care about $/mile then or $/100 miles, but since it's a taxi for hire those numbers are shit.

Or for marketing purposes call it 9705 and take the win

If it was precise to the meter... yah?

Inflation did spike then go back to normal, how was that wrong?

It's plainly obvious we all get to a point where even our skin stops repairing itself the way it used to. Anyone that's active later in life knows this.

But, whatever, maybe by avoiding exercise your body has an untapped reservoir of liver healing magic. I'm willing to continue this experiment if you are, carry on, dumbass.

That is some weak, hand wavy excuse that definitely does not answer the question, why is it problematic.

No, this isn't Musk hating, it's about not falling for Musk's obvious game.

That capability has always been there, it's a part of the tax code. OpenAI has the same structure Mozilla has had for twenty fucking years, ffs. Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation.

Now imagine Firefox doing really well and Google suddenly crying that Mozilla needs its nuts kicked in and made non-profit, and then falling for it.

Somebody thinks you're stupid.

Matches? "Keep dry" is the most complicated instruction in the entire process. I'm not going to say striking it against the strip is intuitive exactly but you only need to see it once as a child and you understand how all matches work more or less.

".. how to implement a Laravel API"

Is NOT fucking intuitive. AND someone reading this in a couple years will go WTF even is that, oh it was a thing some people used before the thing that replaced some other thing. Many people are reading this now and saying WTF is laravel oh it's a new thing that replaced that other thing, sort of. Yes, you will all forget things you learned in college. You will forget a long line of things that seemed important at the time and were made redundant by new software that replaced the old.

It's depressing when you finally realize how many times the same wheels have been reinvented and they don't always get better each time. That's how information technology works though, for now. Some things are better off forgotten and many things are sadly not remembered.

Honestly thank you for the reminder V8 is that old, but we could play this game with Firefox, or any large software project for that matter.

Enhanced spellcheck, literally sent to the cloud and processed by a spelling m.. mmm... moo. Mo mo. A spelling mode... el...?
A drawing API, for GAMeS, on my business softwares?
Assembly, like what hackers use?

We can play the what users want game all day, but the mental gymnastics to say local models are different, it's too much. The long sought after semantic web is here, in your browser, and people are straight faced saying NO, browsers must be stupid, search engines must be driven by only the dumbest algorithms the way the web was intended. All translation and search services and enhanced spelling and grammar checking must be of poor quality models and not available locally lest we taint our machine hosts with demonic intent. We really are close to sounding like a ridiculous WH40k machine cult.

My gawd, this is like how's shitcoins different than the stock market.

It's like the worst of the worst old school racetrack hustling.

Look, I’m in a jam here. My ex-wife’s boyfriend is outside double-parked with my kid and if I miss this party again I’m dead. I got this ticket before the steam hit. Beautiful number. Absolute robbery at this price. Honestly I shouldn’t even be offering it. ... But you don't even have to try that hard, you can just whisper rumors about the horse being on giga-steroids then sell your stake back on the market waaaaaayy faster than one mark at a time the old fashioned way.

Dude, insider trading and influence ain't even the half of it, every old scam is going to rear its head, it's so obvious.

It's literally trading, the gains are someone else's loses, that's simple. It is worse than gambling, _because_ it's a trading platform. You can buy low odds, pump it up, then take your profits before the contract is resolved. It's the worst of the stock market with the worst of gambling.

What do you mean loot the stock market, it's not a pool of money you fish around in, there are people like you and I on both sides of trades. When you profit off the stock market, that money doesn't come from some company, it comes from whoever bought the shares you sold, which can be another retail investor exactly like you. Every time you get out at just the right time, some ... general population.. dimwit FOMO bought that. They're called retail traders, and there's practically no barrier to signing up for a brokerage account, the stock market is the general population, it's your 401k, it's my play money day trading.

Bet your ass that any unregulated market is worse than a regulated one. It's not up for debate. I'm sorry but even if you think all markets are scams, but you're inevitably going to do it anyway which is why we have these conversations, why the hell would you go for the unregulated market. It boggles the fucking mind. If you truly think everything is a scam, then don't fucking do it. Don't fucking rationalize it, and don't pretend someone took money out of your pocket, you had to buy something, that's on you.
