Granted with something like AI systems it’s easier and faster, but libraries could be faulted the same way - they have the same information, the only difference is learning how to look for it.

There’s a problem here, for sure, but how can it be addressed? Frankly I have no idea, especially since you can host these LLM’s on your own computer these days.

Clearly you know fuck all about cars or guns.

Safeties on guns are to prevent accidental, unintended discharge. I’m pretty sure someone using one for suicide is performing an intentional discharge.

Edit: Safeties prevent a gun from going off when dropped. Using such safeties becomes automatic, so automatic that they’re useless for preventing an unintentional discharge by a person pulling the trigger at the wrong time (which they weren’t really intended for). Hell, the Glock safety is built into the trigger itself, so it clearly doesn’t prevent a person pulling the trigger at the wrong time. The safety is disengaged by pulling the trigger.

Safety systems in cars are similar, to prevent injury from the vehicle itself in a crash.

Seat belts keep us from being thrown from a car. Airbags prevent us crushing our chest on the steering wheel, or head trauma from hitting a window.

Crumple zones absorb the energy of a collision so it’s not transferred to the occupants of a car.

None of this is to prevent a person from intentionally doing harm.

I’ve lost 2 friends to suicide by car - none of the safety systems had any chance of preventing it, and there is no way to prevent it.

Wait, people actually go into cell phone stores?

Last time I did that was like 2003.

Yep.

Early 90’s laptops used transflective. They were a tad sluggish, but not terribly slow. I actually played DOS shooter games on one.

Scotch Bonnet, holy cow the flavor they bring (and heat, those bastards scare me now).

There was a meme recently about Columbus naming everything they found “pepper”. I suspect it’s a result of language at the time.

Since English has borrowed heavily over the centuries, we now have multiple words for these different things as words for the same thing come in from other languages.

German seems to build compound words for things.

Avocation to be more precise.

Ain’t no one payin’ us…

Great to see Bossa having (yet another) comeback moment.

Seriously, not being sarcastic. It’s had so many comebacks it’s the zombie of music genres, and I’m fine with it. It’s great stuff, fun.

Doing it safely is pretty simple.

Install Tailscale at both ends. Done.

It’s a fully encrypted mesh VPN.

If you need access without the TS client on the other end, that takes a little more work. Then you need to enable the Funnel option.

Lol.

Well I hope you share that manual everywhere you can think of

Thing is, biology ain’t.

Every male in my family can cook and clean house.

And they cook better than their girlfriends/wives.

So yea, maybe hold your sexism.

Hahahahaha, take my upvote!

I simpler terms, broader appeal means less complexity.

If you want more people to “get” a piece of music, by definition it must be less complex.

For example a current pop song will be more approachable by more people than Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue”, simply because everyone can get the former, but only some people can grok Miles’ music (and those people also get the pop stuff, even if they don’t listen to it much, or if the listen to it a lot).

It’s not a free market thing, it’s simply the old distribution curve applied to art. Marketing just utilizes the nature of people.

I “get” Miles stuff much more than the average person, but when it comes to visual arts I know fuck all, so only the most fundamental stuff has any appeal to me.

I’m essentially the same in visual arts as someone who only listens to pop music.

It’s my new word “R” tarded.

Lol, thanks, made me chuckle

Wtf?

you don’t have the right to use it

So you are about language policing.

Go pound sand.

And that’s that person’s problem.

“Negative IQ” hahaha, I’ve never heard it said like a label/name. Made me snort just now.
