I mean, why would he? You have to feel as though you’ve done something wrong in order to ask for forgiveness. I genuinely don’t think Trump has ever done anything that he recognizes as wrong. I think you could get him to recognize that he’s done things that have hurt people, intellectually, but at best he’d say it was someone else’s fault and/or they deserved it.

The issue is that we have artificially accelerated the return of carbon to the cycle by burning coal and oil.

It sequesters the carbon while it’s alive, but you’d need to bury the plant deep underground to remove it from the equation

Blow up a coal plant?

Ok, but they still present the certificate to the user. They’d have to be very fucky with how they present that information if they were doing the validation at the proxy and then passing back that cert info.

And yeah, regular users might fall for that shit but Chrome would be banned across the corporate landscape the second it was found out.

They’d have to crack TLS or get you to trust their mitm cert, or fake what they present to the user..

I don’t see Google doing anything that foolish, it’s a security nightmare

Counterpoint: it’s important to interact with people who don’t agree with you on everything. Maybe op’s friend has an aha moment because of that conversation down the line. It’s too easy to fall into the echo chamber online.

“Open”AI is entirely proprietary and closed-source.

Meta’s Llama series are kind of open source, but don’t publish the weights and so can’t really be reproduced with full accuracy without a ton of manual effort.

These and many other companies in the hype-space are using the same published research from a few years ago, which is why they have similar qualities.

People are also kind of shit at facts. There are so many facts, and many of them aren’t practical for every person who needs to assess a fact’s accuracy to do so. But it isn’t structurally impossible to mimic how humans learn how to gauge truthfulness, we just have to be prepared for the idea that it will be bound by the limitations of language, as well as the risk inherent in trusting data that it has not independently verified.

Move faster than the law, then use your loot to do whatever you want

Go read the books! The show is ultimately unsatisfying as it doesn’t cover the last arc of the story, but the last season was good

Use a yubikey, that doesn’t vendor-lock you to an OS ecosystem. They make one with nfc so it’s not a pain to use with your phone.

The “puzzle” is that when you enter the temple, it goes zero-g and a spinny thing in the middle pops up. You have to float to a thing that looks like a spinning top, and once you float through it, another one appears. You float through a dozen of them or so and then you get a space power. Such a colossal failure of game design that this was acceptable to have as any puzzle, but the audacity to make it literally the same puzzle at every other temple completely boggles my mind.

240 times. Sometimes a dude appears when you leave the temple, and he’ll shoot at you. There are better puzzles on the kids menu at Denny’s.

It honestly feels like something he wrote as a joke

Getting, not buying. A pair of bolt cutters can often be found at your local tool lending library.

I like the idea that we find out mid next season that they’ve been in a committed relationship with each other for like a year but are keeping it on the DL because monogamy is deeply uncool in their generation.

It’s been an ongoing Star Trek plot line that ship counselors are friggin useless

Pretty rare that you run into an issue at all these days, but one big bummer is that non-steam-workshop mods are a pain to install. Basically anything that uses a mod manager.

Google monetizes the search experience. It’s gotten steadily worse at its primary function for the last 15 years. Eventually, a better search engine will exist, it just takes time for Google to enshittify theirs enough.
