I just can’t help but imagine a world where every religion has its own OS. The Hindu one would get real wild with it.

I think there’s a good case that it’s transformative entirely. It doesn’t just spit out NYT articles. I feel like saying they “stole IP” from NYT doesn’t really hunt because that would mean anyone who read the NYT and then wrote any kind of article at some point also engaged in IP theft because almost certainly their consumption of the NYT influenced their writing in some way. ( I think the same thing holds up to a weaker degree with generative image AI just seems a bit different sometimes directly copying the actual brushstrokes etc of real artists there’s also only so many ways to arrange words)

It is however an entirely new thing, so it’s up to judges for now to rule how that works.

Absolutely, I’m just understanding of his perspective as the person who started it all and has that deep emotional attachment to it, which as someone who has watched it grow from nothing has a small taste of, his name is all over it, it’s hard to not take criticism personally, it doesn’t excuse what he said but it makes a lot more sense in that context.

Incidentally they have been deliberate about rebranding as acronyms etc to move his name away from the brand a little, since it’s no longer just “Linus and friends” and a whole ass thing.

They just posted a better response on Floatplane this morning it should hit YouTube soon

I feel like I might have done something similar in his shoes. It makes me sad because I’ve been watching since the NCIX days I think Linus is a lot better than this but I can put myself in his shoes and it probably feels a hell of a lot like people dogpiling on him out of the blue (even if that’s not entirely the reality) and a betrayal by the industry he helped grow for over a decade. I don’t see him as a villain by a long shot but his go go go attitude is toxic at times and has come to a head.

His post to me reads more as someone who is anxious and scared of what might come next. I think he fucked up by not waiting to put some distance between himself and the reckoning so he could address it properly with a clear head.

I’ve only gotten malware on windows once, and I was doing something pretty dodgy “downloading linux ISOs” while half asleep. But it requires some effort to stay away from and on mac you almost don’t have to think about it.

Macs do literally nothing I need a computer to do aside from web browsing, so I never got into them, always opting for thinkpads with windows or linux on them for my work machines and desktops with windows for gaming. If they fit your use case they are amazing though.

People just generally don’t understand design or manufacturing at all it might as well be magic to the layman “all you gotta do is…” yeah sure that would make a better product in absolute quality terms, if it’s possible at all, but you have to balance it against 100 other things.

There’s a reason there are rooms full of relatively high paid individuals with fancy degrees or decades of experience.

It’s all on their end, though I’ve had limited success asking nicely, it’s just there so businesses don’t just order the cheaper plan and then they have to deal with all the extra traffic and support for many users. Just assuring them that I am just running as a single user my own email server they were cool with it on small local ISPs bigger corps won’t give you the time of day on that issue.

AFAIK that’s never been borne out by a trial.

The driver is always responsible for the car regardless so in reality I don’t see it being an important point. Yes if something fails and it causes an accident you are on the hook if you had modified that system or failed to maintain it properly. The onus would always be on the driver to prove the manufacturer was negligent if they believe the car was not manufactured properly or designed safely.

So I wouldn’t mess around with self driving (personally I’d never even use it from the factory) but there’s little risk in touching many other things, these systems are designed to compartmentalize and fail safe even when you tinker with them. Though maybe not in Teslas case because they mistake the tribal knowledge of over 100years of automotive design and manufacturing for inefficiency. but I do not know a whole lot about Tesla computer systems, in ICE cars I mostly only touch the engine controls, and maybe traction control. In my current car I suppose you could do some real fucky things with electric power steering and brake by wire.

Most tuners won’t go beyond messing with throttle curves and traction control when it comes to anything safety related, as neither would cause any kind of serious failure unless you tried to re write the code to do something it wasn’t meant to to begin with.

it will just hand out random DUIs to RAM owners based on statistics and reckless driving tickets to black altimas with tinted windows and bedazzled plate frames.

In theory it could use far less land, water, fuel, and pesticides to achieve a similar output of a superior quality product, In theory. There’s a lot of labor resources and energy that goes into growing cotton. You could likely replace many hundreds of acres of cotton fields with a modest factory on 20 acres of land.

Yeah but looking at what he showed it’s not like a hoarder situation, it’s a significant amount of stuff but it’s not like there’s literally a pile of tires and garbage back there, he’s just got some car accessories and a few sets of tires for his cars by his house and stuff like that. It’s a lot of stuff for the average person but nothing noteworthy generally pretty tame for a guy that’s into old cars. Maybe he cleaned it up some for the news, but if they aren’t showing their pictures it’s his word against theirs and I’m more inclined to give this guy the benefit of the doubt.

I played Where’s Waldo: Oakley Subdivision Edition seems pretty representative based on that. Also residents of Oakley seem to really like having cars and boats and shit in their side yards. if this guy is uninsurable then half the city is.

Same, that’s pretty much my break point for something like this. I use youtube a lot so I don’t mind paying a small amount to remove ads and still have creators get a cut, though I understand why others hate the system.

Typically all of humanity has since XP.

Yeah it’s one of those things, you know if you need it. Most people don’t need it. An android phone has been an extremely flexible part of my tech toolkit since 2011 and I haven’t looked back. If I want to do something involving another phone or computer I can find some way to do it. iOS has certainly become much much more flexible than it was early on, but I don’t think I can fix an old CNC controller with an RS232 adapter with one.

There’s literally one reason I stick with android, you can just put files on it and use them, I know iOS has improved greatly here, now you can actually have some approximation of file system access, but I really don’t want to use a janky app like iTunes (at least on windows it’s kind of broken still) to get anything on and off the phone outside of iCloud. I end up using my phone more like a pocket linux computer enough of the time that I just can’t jive with such a locked down device.

I really like the hardware, and iOS is a very cohesive and easy to use experience it just doesn’t fill my use cases for a phone. I’m not the kind of person who just uses something, I always want to crack it open and tinker with it, I think my record for not modifying a car after purchase is 2 weeks (only because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a lemon). Android just fits my ethos better.
