If we've got to stop the killer ourselves, then what difference does the cop make?

I absolutely blame the Republicans more than Democrats, but there's no point in arguing with fascists. There's good honest people in this thread who are just wrong. >"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past." — Jean-Paul Sartre

You forgot jury box! Everybody look up "jury nullification".

Sometimes people won't understand that an idea can't work until they try implementing it and the practical issues hit them in the face. Better now than once everyone is forced to use it.

In case anyone else interprets this wrong: he means Proof of Concept code.

TBF it is 100% a political meme, from a culturally relevant source - not just OC from some random dude.

With a whip!

They'll probably omit this to make it boring on purpose. There was a ton of hilarious and awesome stuff in newspapers in the early 20th century.

You'll never be as good at this as a billionaire who can both bribe and wait indefinitely. Every crash since 2007 has made the working class poorer relative to billionaires.

Sounds like we should form a commission to study this issue.

I'll show them, I'll avoid those cyclical crashes by switching to Bitcoin!

Inflation is either expected or unexpected by the market.

• If it’s expected, then it was already priced into your rate. The “tax incidence” of typical inflation falls on consumers, not lenders.
• If it’s not expected, then the economy is failing and that’s not good for anyone.

The average person is willfully ignorant about inflation because they benefit more from networking with people who believe the bullshit.

I had a dealer like that once, he said it was too conspicuous when people stopped by for only 5 minutes. In hindsight he may have just been getting people to smoke him up.

There is now a physicist who used to be my weed dealer.

I hear what you’re saying. But these are hard working people who suffered through a residency and have no personal lives. It feels like we’re being crabs in a bucket. Three overwhelming majority of that profit is going to insurance and pharma shareholders, not to the doctors themselves. The difference between a doctor and a billionaire is about a billion dollars. Everybody ought to be living like doctors and it’s the shareholder’s fault that we aren’t.

IIRC those weren't widespread until after Bitcoin was invented.

But thats the easy part! It's expensive to produce and cheap to verify.

Bitcoin was made inevitable by the Great Financial Crisis, not by hardware advancement. Its proof-of-work is based on hashcash from the 1990s. The computing power spent is arbitrary, a consequence of its creator underestimating how quickly Bitcoin would catch on.

Doesn't that make it a bad test? It should be easy for humans and hard for machines.

5 no question, we would have so much fun

Fair enough, I’ve signed you up for some vegan recipe mailing lists.

If you’ve currently got a decent job, then you can afford to be suuuuper picky.

Oooh 16% chance by December! You’ve brightened my day.

Can you rebind it?

Not democratic. Socialism isn't just when the government does things.

Trump and Netanyahu don't want protesters in charge. They want a puppet.

“I want to work here in particular.”

I wish it was literally everything. I want to buy Trump insurance.

I like this meme every time I see it here on anarchist forums.

Yeah but is it destroying the environment? Also yes.

That’s why I don’t get the last word. I wait for them to end with a really bad last word that might gnaw at them. People change their minds gradually over a long time, and then give themselves credit for figuring it out.

You're giving them a lot of credit to assume they count Iranians as people.

To be fair…

Sorry but I refuse to wear coats indoors ever. I can't even stand long sleeves.

Clothes like these are great if one is a creepy nerd. One has an excuse good to go if caught.

It won't sustain our societies. It'll sustain _their_ society, and who counts as a valid part of that society will keep shrinking. One by one they won't be white enough, or rich enough, or devout enough. Fascism is a game of musical chairs.

Even if one doesn't care about genocide, they should still care if their own GPU is rigged to explode.

What a time to find myself wishing there was a hell.

The obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page.

Perk of being in a big Irish family: when someone dies we all descend like vultures and I get like, a nice hat.

You clearly want the economy to collapse. The bailout will actually be profitable for the government. /s

If LLMs fail and they invested: bailout If LLMs succeed and they invested: rich If LLMs fail and they passed: everyone else bailed out If LLMs succeed and they passed: out of business Therefore, the logical choice for a business is to invest in LLMs. The only mechanism to not do the stupid thing that everyone else is doing is gone.

Nothing will ever top “clean coal”.

He’s still checking it because we’re acting like it’s still the Twitter we knew.

If you can’t tell the difference in quality between slop and Oscar-winning art, then you’re making the AI bro argument for them.

Another great example of this being an economic rent problem. Namecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, but never caught on because it’s >99% domain name squatters. There’s no mechanism to increase the cost of renewal to anything proportional to the value of the name, so they always renew for practically free. Consequently there’s no incentive for web browsers to support it. A domain name is like a plot of land. Right now our choices are crony capitalist ICANN with eminent domain, anarcho-capitalist crypto DNS, or sailing the high seas on an .onion addresses.
