You'll notice we "liberated" Venezuela's oil reserves for absolutely no goddamned reason, shortly before we started a war with Iran for absolutely no goddamned reason.
No, that's not true. The reason Trump went to war with Iran was to distract everyone from the Epstein files, which were gaining serious news cycle coverage at the time.
Renewable aren't actually cheap.
And fission plants definitely aren't cheap.
Especially if you include the unsolved issues such as waste barrels stranded on the beach.
"But but no true Scotsman would put barrels..."
Just shut up.

I guess that proves that even this site is using AI to write their summaries these days.
> One thing I noticed about modern Linux is if you "cat > file" and then press CTRL-C it overwrites with a blank file
That maybe a shell-ism. In bash if you ' >file ' with nothing else, you end up blanking the file (and updating the date/time on it) without ^C even being involved.
Exactly. For example, spreadsheets were often used day to day but the accountants kept the actual books as books and had the final word. That changed over time, only after spreadsheets proved out (and got the bugs out).
Also, humans stayed in the loop. Sure there were occasional funnies like a medical database claiming a few male patients had a history of pregnancy, but humans were in the loop and cited those as obvious errors. There were still backup paper records to fall back on.
But a lot of people when they hear someone say "it's nowhere near ready for prime time" will claim the person is saying "It'll never work".
Back in the day when the "Board of Education" was an actual wooden board.
If they really wanted to serve the user, it would understand "Hey Google, lockdown now" and would power off and require a PIN to restart.
Long press doesn't do anything so low level anymore, it just signals the management processor in the radio that it should force the application processor off. The management processor keeps running.
The power button on the phone really is just a suggestion. To actually power off the whole phone you have to remove the battery (if possible) or let it run down to zero.
This is what happens when you give an AI agency.
You've got questions, we've got cellphones.
Why in the world would anyone think that an LLM would know what products humans would want to buy? To the LLM, all the products are merely words. Just descriptions. It cannot perceive anything about these products, but only knows of them indirectly via words. Further, all the LLM knows about what things are appealing to humans is also from words.
The whole thing is absurd really. It reminds me of something like Futurama where Bender is trying to cook food for humans. Or Star Trek and Data is trying to do something human but failing at it. Just not nearly as entertaining to watch this store fail though.
Can't do it. I'm refactoring on a large code base. I eventually had to tell it to work on just one task and ignore other concerns it had to prevent it from investigating until it got stuck in a cycle of investigation.
Understood, and yeah single tasking seems like a good workaround given the situation. Or switching to an LLM with a larger context window, if possible/practical. I was able to get about 7X more context window "runway" using the AST approach, but it's a relatively small code base to begin with.
In a real sense, the back end recognition that Flock does is exactly stalking on a massive scale.
