Comment Re:Fossil fuels suck, and politicians are idiots (Score 1) 22

I have a NG cooktop at home, and even when it's -15C outside I open all the windows downstairs when cooking, and I can *STILL* see the result on my air quality meter spike in the living room, even before I add any food to the pan.

Do you have a range hood? We don't, and it's insane to me. This house is so old it used to have a wood-fired stove in it, which vented into an old school brick chimney with a fireplace on the other side of the wall.

Comment Re:Constitution? (Score 0) 107

The constitution, as a modern legal document, is crap.

Of course, it's not a modern legal document. That's the problem.

I'm not talking about sensibilities here at all, I'm talking about how weakly it is written. Practically everything about it is horribly vague, again, by modern standards. You can argue back and forth for eternity about what various parts of it mean because it doesn't have most of the things we expect from a legal document. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 is sorely in need of a definitions section. So, obviously, is Amendment II.

This directly affects the point you have raised here. The exact extent of the rights accorded the federal government is up for debate, and therefore, so is the extent of the rights of the people as the two are not meant to overlap.

Yeah I just reread that article and now realise I screwed up. I thought them dropping their safeguards was to allow them to join the program. My apologies I now see it's unrelated.

I think you were far from alone in that. The comments on the article about Anthropic relaxing their safety commitment showed a lot of people thought it was DoD-related.

How can any decent person be proud of getting a job that way ?

You have that backwards as usual, not surprising from a mentally challenged white supremacist, but I repeat myself. How can any decent person be proud of getting a job because other white people suppressed brown people for centuries? You didn't earn that.

Comment Re:Just cancel already (Score 1) 77

America is broken in so many ways, but having something like Artemis might help stitch it back together.

If it wasn't bad in every way, maybe. But it is, and it should be allowed to die and the money spent on a more sensible project. The best time to kill the project was immediately. The second-best time would have been between then and now, earlier rather than later. But NASA doesn't even seem to want to get to third best.

Comment Re:So you want to use AI (Score 2) 24

There's a ton of other places LLMs can do work to support game development. They're good at making seamless textures, for example. They seem to be pretty good at doing things like simplifying 3d models. The only absolute law of AI in development is that a qualified person has to check its work every time because it might do something completely bananas.
