It is factually true though, music piracy DID drop once ad supported music streaming became available, the opposite is also true, video/movie piracy is now on the rise due to the amount of streaming subscriptions one has to juggle and their rising prices. Ofcourse there will always be those who yearn for the pirates life, but the vast majority just do it for convenience.

This is matching the levels of surveillance in north Korea. They also have software that takes pictures of your screen every few seconds.

Please elucidate, my personal takeaway from this post was how women are treated unfairly which leads to lower birth rates. The article goes into depth about this.

The article lists several examples of government programs from different regions that pay people to have kids and their efficacy.

By that point you would need an ubsurd amount of kids per family to recover the birth rates, also mentioning that your checks are paying for a growing elderly population and it becomes nearly impossible to recover.

Oops I misunderstood, I thought the fact that it ran chrome extensions meant it was chromium based. Thanks.

I found it too buggy in my usage, it just doesn't compare to the polish in Zen or the other forks. Better just to use the horizontal tabs IMO.

The only difference is zen is Firefox based while arc and nook are chromium based.

AGI has value in automation and optimisation which increase profit margins.When AGI is everywhere, then the game is who has the smartest agi, who can offer it cheapest, who can specialise it for my niche etc. Also in this context agi need to run somewhere and IBM stands to benefit from running other peoples models.

What makes me suspect them the most was the fact that they use pure neon green text on black as their tty color. (seriously who does that?)

I think its more resource intensive to record a more optimised format.

I think criminalising both is unreasonable, what you do with the URL you accessed or the password you guessed however is different.

I've seen this be popular but I'm a little sceptical as to the effectiveness of their optimisations. Does anyone have some examples, anecdotes?

TOR and the torweb

I feel like a lot of these can be packaged as an extension for vscode. I'd rather not have multiple different variations of the same ide, too much duplication.

I prefer eternally enslaving a machine to do my bidding over just raging at them.

Make a jury or blind models making a case for the best response and choose a random model to be the judge.

Seems interesting, makes for the second vscode clone with ai google has made. The demo they showed in the video avoided showing code so I guess thats what they're aiming for. Although when they mentioned you can easily verify code quality by looking at end product screenshots it felt like they don't know what 'code' quality means.
