Poor guy. I've seen this in my own family. I doubt they can work it out and it will only get worse with age. She will definitely not take kindly to him wanting to take any of the kids either.

You know the answer to this but I'll just say it: Its different in that it requires no skill and can be done by anyone instantaneously at scale.

You know this but somehow are rationalizing this game changing fact away.

Yes, people can draw and photoshop things. But it takes time, skill, dedication, etc. This time cost is load bearing in the way society needs to deal with the tools it has for the same reason at the extreme that kitchen knives have different regulations than nuclear weapons.

It is also trivially easy for grok to censor this usage for the vast majority of offenders by using the same LLM technology they already have to classify content created by their own tools. Yes, it could get jailbroken but that requires skill, time, dedication, etc; And it can be rapidly patched, greatly mitigating the scale of abuse.

Ironically, instead of Linux eventually closing this usability gap, what we have is windows developing its own sharp edges and annoyances.

For many users, linux is already easier to use.

The thing is that literature, and art in general, should be more than just entertainment. It should edify the reader, communicate some concept, moral lesson or keen insight about the world.

Remember when you were taught to extract the "moral of the story" in school? That was the whole point. That form of communication is what makes art valuable and it definitely is what makes some art more valuable than others.

We do get a say on whether we like it or not. You CAN just decide to uphold privacy rights. We make the laws

Large marketplace platforms need to be regulated to have due process.

When hundreds or thousands of companies live and die by your platform, you can't just close accounts arbitrarily.

Either that or you get split up for monopoly. Take your pick, but this shit doesn't work

That has happened like 4 times with AMD already since I've been buying PCs

Switching to TSMC broke their negative feedback loop, though. In the past AMD could be relied on to somehow not have the money to invest in their fabs at some point, resulting in another Intel era.

Nowadays, there will be another process node from TSMC. If AMD doesn’t pay for the R&D, TSMC’s other customers (like Apple and… actually, Intel) will instead.

The problem for Intel is all the growth since mid 2000s is non PC.

Yup, though it's been never such a good run for them by far. Granted things were moving much faster back then overall, but amd has been dominating for 7 years now.

I've come to accept that, at least in latam, shirt sizes no longer have any real meaning.

Every manufacturer in the world has a different opinion as to what those letters mean.

There is truth to this and it has certainly been true of women’s sizing for many years where everyone wants to be a size 2 (or whatever your number is) but no size 2 is the same across brands.

It’s an entirely different problem when I buy two pairs of presumably the same pair of jeans in the same style and size yet one can barely be buttoned up and the other requires a belt at all times.

And then there is the adventure of asymmetric cuts. Quality control has been outsourced to the customer. The return rates have increased a lot, some of it going straight into the bin.

Do you think maybe clothing is size now inferred from an item's weight? Cut close enough and then bin by weight...?

Finding knit caps for my pumpkin sized head is challenging. I'd find a good fit but then couldn't reorder the same item.

I stumbled onto the notion of selecting by weight instead of the declared size. Success!

More recently, there was a HN thread about buying good jeans. I then noticed the better quality mfgs also include the fabric's weight in the item's blurb. Which I then used to inform my foraging.

Massive, shiny and slow

well, maybe it could deliver 200k pounds of gear while carrying 100k pounds of counter measures?

but again, the original plan was always good enough for humans dropping slowly on parachutes

This has also been my experience. Curriculum standards really put a stop to any radical changes in the way we structure the learning process.

I guess that IS the point of standards, but we really should be experimenting more on the fringes.
