"We have investigated ourselves and found no problem."

This is an increasing problem and I'm not sure how the open source community is going to deal with it. It's been a big problem with NPM packages and also Python libraries over the past five years. There's a bunch of malicious typo-squatting stuff in many package repositories (say you want libcurl but you type libcrul, congratulations it's probably there and it'll probably install libcurl for you and bring a fun friend along).

Now with AI slop code getting submitted, it's not really possible to check every new package upload. And who's going to volunteer for that work?

So that we can watch them fall apart.

Linux is now perfectly valid for a gaming pc

And all it took was a corporation throwing millions of dollars and thousands of developer hours at it.

Someday soon an AI company will win a court case where they argue that their LLM is an expression of their free speech rights per Citizens United and is therefore legally allowed to say whatever it wants and in fact has the same rights to freedom of expression as the corporation itself does.

This precedent will be the basis on which future AI rights are eventually won, not out of egalitarianism or altruism or respect for (possible) sentience, but because corporations want to avoid liability for the behavior of their products.

Why is it often cheaper to buy new than repair old

This may be true in single instances, but long-term it is often cheaper to repair a single device than repeatedly buy new replacements.

The Compact Disc is 43 years old.

Ocarina of Time is 27 years old.

There are people born after 9/11 who are old enough to be worrying about mortgage payments.

The Goron Mines in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess:

This is one of my favorite locations in the game with all the magnetic boot tricks, including the miniboss fight:

This is a great point. Do the cameras have microphones? Is it a two-party/all-party consent state?

Now you need to get consent from every person who might end up being recorded.

Might also be worth pointing out in an HOA meeting that if this guy buys and configures the cameras himself then he has access to watch everybody. How much does the rest of the community trust this guy to not be creeping on everyone else?

 

My introduction to this was through the video, so it felt appropriate to share here. I'm sure this is a reupload and I saw it somewhere else earlier than 2012.

You can actually play with it on the creator's website:

This popular successor to the original Turbo Encabulator has now been itself succeeded by the impressive Hyper Encabulator. There seems to be no end to clever innovation in the important field of encabulation.
