Nthringas's comments

I'm aware that's a bit of a leap to get from "lowering quality" to "drm sucks and is a terrible idea", but as I see things, drm defeats the purpose of having an internet

and it is an even bigger jump (at least 16-bits? ahaha) to understand the connection between twich and south korea (who pays for the bits?)

it's remarkable how you critizice my 'lack of perspective', because your comment requires that I narrow my perspective enought that I can fill in the gaps in my own opinion such a way that you get what I'm trying to say

if governance were a technical field (which it is)

that idea would be like a theorem

the remaining puzzle is who is really "ruling" the balkans?

all people in the world should have access the state of the art medical chat AI already, but this would "crash" the medical "industry"

but medicine should not be an industry because that creates incentives to make people have poor health

I thought I was being paranoid until I started reading the article

I choose to believe this is a freudian slip, which means they're trying to cause tooth decay while pretending to do the opposite.

If I were dentistry as a business, I wouldn't like this permanent (final) solution to tooth decay because of my unreasonably suspicions that the odontological treatment I received as a child was unconsciously intended to make me continue to need 'dental care' instead of fixing anything. Last time I was at a (very expensive private) dental clinic the treatment they pushed on to me was killing my tooth so I would buy one. I'm pretty sure some hugely powerful branch of dentistry is betting on people in my demographic (who get their teeth killed off) buying a full set of teeth from them in the future.

But I would only accept Thompson teeth, the only teeth capable of chewing other teeth

it would merely settle "for now" becuase as soon as either of them get succeded you will have to repeat the contest

what I actually think is way crazier than that. if you asked me (which you didn't) I'd say that I think that behind the scenes what all these llm and ai companies are doing is licensing chinese tech

i regard the timing for the openai fiasco right after the apec meeting in sf as too good for this all to be true

keep in mind that IBM[0] is over a hundred years old, and microsoft isn't even half of that [0]

[0] wikipedia

...which faintly smells rotten because of them "lack of a moat" arguments

time is asymmetric BY definition. if time weren't asymmetric I would have to call it space instead. (seems like I'm using asymmetry and monotonicity as synonyms)

in my definition, passing is all time can ever do, and it must do it only in the 'same direction'.

finally, in my view it is space which enables backwards and forwards motion.

i.e. since they're older they're bigger

i wonder if there are any nuances between public and open

i.e. the theory, not reality, is where time symmetry comes from. and this is also exactly why those theories have predictive capabilities

but reality is still asymetric in the temporal dimension
