Sovereignty of a single individual is as definitionally micronationalist as is possible.

Nickleback is a fundamental concept of physics, you will always see echoes of it in any work you do. One way to be sure is to snap a picture, look at this photograph and every time it will make you laugh.

Also for me was the scariest movie I saw growing up even against Child’s Play, Halloween, Friday 13th.

So if I make AI that takes copyrighted material in one side, jumbles it about, and spits out the same copyrighted material on the other side, I have successfully laundered someone else's work as my own?

Wouldn't GitHub potentially be responsible for the infringement by distributing the copyrighted material knowing that it would be published?

Does GitHub Copilot grant you a license to the code it generates? How does it know you haven't just copied some proprietary code which is not free?

My favorite are the river parks in New Braunfels and there are a lot of other beautiful areas that all pale in comparison to California.

Used to live in Texas for several years. 3M has little in common with Silicon Valley but those other companies are legit so I am willing to say I don’t know enough and I am eager to see how this turns out. I was trying to appeal to others experiences of Austin when mentioning conferences. I assume more people visit than live there on this site. For me, Austin would be pretty awful to live in year in and out by comparison to Silicon Valley even with having to wear N95 masks during fire season.

Also just wait for Analog Devices to buy Cirrus and relocate them back to SV. (Totally kidding)

I don’t go out nearly as much as I should but if I lived in Texas (as I have for several years previously) I would never enjoy being outside other than in the winter. That’s just not healthy.

Average high/low temperatures in the summer for Austin are:

June. 92° / 72°

July. 96° / 74°

August 96° / 74°

Average high/low temperatures in the summer for Cupertino are:

June. 75° / 55°

July. 76° / 58°

August 76° / 58°

Austin will never, ever be like Silicon Valley because of this. The freedom you get from cooler weather is great from an energy utilization stand point and for allowing safer and more desirable conditions outdoors. Not to mention you have much more beautiful choices of nature in Northern California. Think about whenever you travel to Austin for conferences, it's oppressively hot and you basically travel from one air conditioned building to the next. Now imagine 10 years time of increased global warming. California will still be coastal to one of the coldest waters in the world at this latitude, which is a natural air conditioner. To me this spells the end of Oracle's supremacy in anything other than selling smaller and smaller volumes of mainframes. They've started focusing further and further on cost reduction.

Edit: For those downvoting me, Texas is a wasteland of has-been tech companies that couldn't cut it when in competition with the west coast and the rest of the world. Oracle isn't going to change that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been using Cherry MX Brown with red O-rings at home and it's definitely less painful than some other mechanical keyboards I have, but it's not quite there yet. I think perhaps the positioning of my wrists is too low, I am going to try a wrist pad to increase their height and report back. Any other suggestions?

Unpopular opinion: I want a touch keyboard with incredible haptic feedback. Long-throw keys trigger my particular RSI symptoms the worst. If I could move my fingers even less and apply even less force than I need to on the butterfly keyboard, I would be ecstatic.
