How does a society treat its citizens, specifically parents and children?

Autism -- is human psychology being maladaptive because of this situation. Parents aren't there for their children to imprint-upon. The psychological distress is real. Depersonalization is a result.

This depersonalization happening during acute childhood development phases, exacerbates the problem of social disengagement.

People should be treated as people, not chattel.

I'm still salty about the switch to SystemD in the first place. I grew up on the simplicity of Linux's three tenets:

1. Everything is a file
2. Everything should be kept as simple and discreet as possible
3. Text (ASCII) based files wherever possible for configs and logs

SystemD came along and just blew all three of those out of the water and made it look and act more like Windows with its complications. And now it's pushing non-needed items like Birthdate into the core functions.

"Despite the limitations of the 1993-era sound card drivers,"

The Gravis Ultrasound ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), as well as other soundcards which *USED WAVETABLE SYNTHESIS* were available.

Yeah, FM-synthesis sounds like a robot. The SNES SPC-7000 was wavetable. The Sega Genesis used a Z80 for FM synthesis. A GUS card was supperior to the SPC-7000.

If you want to know how good the music is, either run DOOM in DOSBOX with a correct GUS Wavetable patch set (which will let you know how *ACTUALLY GOOD* the music is). Alternatively, the Doom & Doom 2 remaster on Steam has an actual band covering the actual tracks. That also sounds awesome.

Lol; I guess the author wasn't aware of the state of the art in 1993 if that's what they wrote.

Don't threaten me with a good time.... seriously though, it needs to happen as it's a fake market anyway. We will recover.

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

It's hard to find people with Tim Berners-Lee's integrity. We should 'own' our own lives. It's a lot deeper than just being watched.

Nah, I kid. No one ever read.

This is not surprising. This is some folks who have formalized a hypothesis that is *decades old*, and the reporters? They were born yesterday, apparently.

So maybe i'm missing something, but it's my understanding with most blockchain based applications the big thing is calculating "proof-of-ownership". However as the size of the chain increases, the calcuation power and time required to do it also increases (I don't remember if it's linearly, logrithmically, etc.). For a low volume application, this is feasible. But how would this work with things like HFT and massive volume changes in terms of time and compute power required.

"draws on Stack Overflow's own corpus for training data" -- and just where is AI going to get its training data on future issues that come up? You can't exactly feed it a manual and hope it will understand and be able to extrapolate answers, it just regurgitates what's already been posted with a certain degree of "confidence". So if SO goes, because everyone is relying on LLMs, it becomes and oroborous situation.

From my understanding, a metric ton of code in Windows is actually multi-threaded. They started doing that with multi-core systems and then with the introduction of E-cores, took it even further.
