You realize that for millenia, philosophers fantasized about the concept of a police force that existed just to enforce laws, and not just be military guards?

The issue is not the concept of police. It is the leadership and the police unions.

Yeah, that was more due to mismanagement at the top according to their PR story.

Product tie ins happened.

Lego has only a few of their own properties now. Ninjago, City, Flower sets and some of the simpler technic models round out most of their self-contained IPs.

Now if you want pirates, you buy POTC like the Black Pearl or One Piece.
If you want space, you buy Star Wars sets. Fancier city sets? Marvel. Basic construction? Nintendo or Sega IPs.

They use it with heavy oversight from the senior devs. We discourage its use and teach them the very basic errors it always produces as a warning not to trust it.

E.G. that ChatGPT will always dump all of the event handlers for a form in one massive method.

We use it within the scope of things we already know about.

How I guide the juniors under me is to have it generate singular methods to accomplish specific tasks, but not entire classes/files.

Except it becomes more dangerous for a novice to use an LLM.

It will introduce vulnerabilities and issues that the novice will overlook.

Infinite, at this point.

Note that even for the scotus “loss”, one of the judges that voted against the white house outright told him to just use the insurrection act in Public.

The whole Amazon diapers is insane.
The burgeoning monopoly was being noticed as early as 2011. I know this because it is why the CEO of one chain here planned out and started offering grocery deliveries.

Not overly surprising.

Google and Salesforce have been “developing” new features and products this way for at least the last 13 years?

1. Find promising small business/startup
2. Buy it with your war chest money
3. Force them to integrate with your systems and live inside your walled garden.

The goal is to divide, not actually support.

Functionally Russia is doing the same thing the Thalmor did on fucking Skyrim. (Where they actively worked to inflame tensions and ensure a stalemate in the civil war.)

Ah yes, a person who was parachuted into high level positions right out of university lectures everyone on hard work.

We all have or own experiences.

Mine is that it helps in organization, which makes changes easier.

Sure, it might be a lot of places, it might not(well designed microservice arch says hi.)

What proper OOP design does is to make the changes required to be predictable and easily documented. Which in turn can make a many step process faster.

Typcially, fat and salt.

Oh they’ll be back. Too much potential money in a star that only says what they want, will never age and has no limits on what she will do.

Only going to touch on the article since I am not a physicist and yet: I suspect the article is bunk, because it seems to be trying to separate the big bang and inflation theory into competing theories.

General layman understanding of things in a nutshell. this may be completely wrong, and is likely full of “Lies-To-Children”

1. Everything compressed into singularity.
2. Big bang, everything is super hot plasma.
3. Faster than light expansion of the universe. Too hot to make anything out with the tools we have.
4. Things cool and the inflation stops being completely insane, the base fluctuations remaining from the big bang result in inequal distribution of matter, the first supermassive stars and their accretion discs form.
5. Those stars die and form into the supermassive black holes that form the seeds of all galaxies.
6. Because of whatever Dark Energy is, something related to a lack matter in space, the space between clusters of galaxies and clusters of clusters of galaxies, the rate of inflation of universe starts increasing and things start moving apart.

That is a straw man.

I never said banning non open source. I equated corporate “AI” with the corporate practice of stealing open source projects.

My 2c:
The technology that makes the fediverse is based on open source principles.
The corporate world has made untold billions off of the backs of the open source community, not just by stealing projects outright, but by throwing a closed source application on top of an own source foundation.

Hell, every Linux user in the last 20 years can easily point to features in Windows, Mac, Android and iOS that are blatantly stolen from open source.

Almost all AIs are the exact same they shamelessly steal from the open internet, from all of us.

No AI.

Here you go on that essay I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ77Qn53xhw

If its on the road in BC, it needs to be licensed with ICBC, unless you’re a recent transplant from elsewhere. Exceptions exist for e-scooters and ebikes, but they also aren’t technically allowed on open road.

ICBC’s base insurance looks expensive, but it delivers better base insurance than most other places extended insurance.
