I had the narrator when I was a kid and even asked other people if they could hear the person talking, which creeped out my siblings occasionally. Fortunately grew out of that by presumably realizing that was myself talking to me.

We are all born atheists. Religion is the oddity.

There are major differences between the books and show. It for the most part follows the books, but I was never a huge fan of condensing characters. They also do remove quite a large number of book scenes with character development. The worst thing they did though was not completing the series. The true ending is great and would have made for pretty epic television.

She was drunk and got angry that the kicked her out of the park, so assaulted an old woman. Bitch deserves more than just 8.5 years. I prefer that her citizenship is revoked as well.

There are no rules on who is allowed to ask for the help of an attorney. A letter like that is maybe $300.

They said that it’s a feature, not a bug. The heat dissipates more efficiently. Lol

Get an attorney to send them a letter. It’s not childish if it comes from an attorney. They can also vet if you have a legitimate claim in your country.

I did this with my wiki in order to read each article and come up with a category and keyword cloud. I first started by attempting to use many different tools to build my own LLM and then realized that I was reinventing the wheel and shifted to using OpenAI’s API. I was able to prompt it to read each article as input and output what I needed in a machine readable format. It worked like a charm.

Reminds me of the movie Gattaca

It’s common sense. If you have hundreds of operating systems, then it becomes a pain to get the right software. First, developers are discouraged because they don’t know what platform will be best to develop on and users will be discouraged because they might need to install twenty different OS partitions in order to run the software they want to run.

So many questions. How was he able to just walk out of the courthouse? Was he going by a different name in Mexico? Did he have a family their? Seems like a huge waste of taxpayer money to bring him back, especially since the other person didn’t die and the incident happened 30 years ago. They should work on real problems instead.

It’s a losing battle with a dying technology. The future is streaming over the internet using and ID that is tied to you or a company. The cell towers all have data. If standard 5G takes less packets than “Data”, we could at least change authentication to a key share system that ties a person and verifies their authenticity.

This sells Musk short. He is making smart entrepreneurial decisions for the most part. I hate the monkey testing controversy though.

The standardization of operating systems was an important step though. If there were hundreds of different OS’s on the market, then the PC generation would have stalled. The fact that there were basically only three dominant platforms meant that we could have market stability.

Sorry for the late reply. Busy week being a slave to the system. Need to work hard to play hard though.

Uber did exactly what it should have. It tapped into a blue ocean, creating a brand new vertical in a stale market. This is capitalism at its best, bringing something innovative and useful into the world.

They never presented the gig economy as a career path. It’s a side hustle. Anyone complaining that they can’t feed their family off it is missing the point. It was meant to be something that you do with your car in between jobs for some extra spending money.

I agree that we have an issue with those in power not enforcing market regulation. Plato predicted this too. These are not new concepts by any means. He also said that redistribution of wealth doesn’t work either. His utopian society was a bit wired though. I don’t like the part where no one owns anything.

If anything we need a reset of congressional term limits. That alone might help get more interesting people into politics.

I get why they do monkey trials, but the part where it said that the one dieing monkey was holding it's cellmate's hands really gets to me. There needs to be a better way.

Pricing together existing technologies to create new innovations is exactly how things have always worked. We stand on the shoulder of giants. It is the reason why many discoveries happen simultaneously in different parts of the world. Because the latest understanding and tools available make the next innovation possible. Saying that Uber is shit for making a GPS enabled app that can act as a commissioned merchant service is like saying anyone that uses AWS is a bad company because they don’t host their own servers. SpaceX filling in a government void is a great entrepreneur story and puts the scope on how significant government overspending is. The internet would have come about even without ARPANET. University labs were already messing around with these systems and were all working towards transmission protocols.

I had been using it for porn, but honestly it was easier to just refine my searches on PornHub.

The modern PC was developed in a garage. Linux was a pet project. Uber and many other companies was funded by the previous success of another app. The owner sold StumbleUpon to eBay for $75M then used that money to make a killer rideshare app. SpaceX, Tesla, Streaming media. I beg to differ on whether most innovation is government funded. There are thousands of entrepreneurs that prove you wrong on that point.
