You’re correct, but somehow PC became a term for a windows, or non-mac computers. Probably because of all the advertising apple did to set Macs apart from other computers.

Loofah is a vegetable and it’s pretty good. It’s also processed to make the shower sponges we all know and love: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luffa

You would have sold the Bitcoin long before it was as valuable as it is today like almost everyone that’s had Bitcoin over the years.

You should put files on the cloud that meet the two following criteria:

1. Valuable to you
2. Not valuable to other people

This could include your hobbyist cad drawings, your twilight fan fic, or anything else that you need or don’t want to lose but has very little value to bad actors.

Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don’t put sensitive information on there.

Machine learning is AI. I think the term you’re looking for is general artificial intelligence, and no one is claiming LLMs fall under that label.

Yes, my comment was about Kyle Gass.

He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate Trump, but as a public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.

The thing is, if he had access to his hard drive at any point in the last 10 years or so he would have sold his Bitcoin long before it was this valuable, like many, many other people who used to own Bitcoin and aren’t currently millionaires. The fact that he lost his hard drive is the only reason it’s actually worth anything.

What’s your occupation?

Why? They’re providing a service with that contract. NASA isn’t capable or doesn’t want to do everything in house. If they deem it beneficial to outsource some projects to contractors then what’s wrong with that?

Absolutely if private entities want to go to space they should be able to. What grounds would you block them on? This is not a substitution or replacement of public space agencies

I’ve driven through Oregon before back when you weren’t allowed to pump your own gas and it felt ridiculous and inconvenient waiting for an employee to come pump gas for you. But maybe that’s just because I’m accustomed to self serve.

For groceries it’s nice to have the option to do self checkout. If I have a small number of items then self checkout is faster/easier. If I have a large number of items then going through the line with the cashier is faster/easier.

Do you feel the same about self serve gas?

You’re protected from government persecution for the things you say by the first amendment. It doesn’t protect you from being sued for harassment or slander by other citizens.

YouTube has a transcribe feature you could use. Or you could keep scrolling if this content isn’t relevant to you.

Idiots shouldn’t buy things they can’t afford. I have no sympathy for someone that buys a gigantic overpriced truck and gets it repossessed because they’re not paying the bill.

I think it means you’re killing yourself, instead of getting hanged by a hangman for example. Similar to shooting yourself in the foot.

It’s just a tool like any other. An experienced developer knows that you can’t apply every tool to every situation. Just like you should know the difference between threads and coroutines and know when to apply them. Or know which design pattern is relevant to a given situation. It’s a tool, and a useful one if you know how to use it.
