A reasonable copyright is a good thing - it gives authors a limited period of exclusivity on their work, after which it becomes a part of our general culture.

Un derecho de autor razonable es algo positivo: otorga a los autores un periodo limitado de exclusividad sobre su obra, tras la cual pasa a formar parte de nuestra cultura general.

in America, apparently if you crime hard enough and big enough they stop putting you in prison and start patting you on the back and calling it good business sense.

If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100,000,000, the bank has a problem.

Which is kind of a pity. Anyone who’s ever written something on the net should be getting royalty checks from these fucks. I’m not exactly famous but I’ve written prolifically in my field of work and have gotten nearly word-for-word reproductions of my articles out of every big model I’ve tested since GPT-3.

How rich are you?

It was hard work, I’m sure, but now you’ve got it made! I mean, now it’s easy street for you, right? Nothing but champagne dreams and caviar wishes, right?

Admittedly, we were not very good at this particular job.

I can’t think of a single thing that would garner such support. You could suggest an amendment that convicted child rapists couldn’t hold public office and there would be enough pushback that even that wouldn’t succeed.

It’s times like this I’m glad I speak Gen Alpha.

This is at least in part because Tesla is shifting manufacturing over to humanoid robots because he has to make a million of them to get his trillion dollar payout. His stupid shareholders are essentially paying him to nuke the company (unless you believe the humanoid robot hype)

Good call, good call. How could I forget so many A-listers?

Ah right. Does it say something that I totally forgot she existed?

Is Kid Rock literally the only celebrity they have at this point?

Of course! What a novel idea! A business focusing on a highly specialized audience requires careful consideration and planning.

Shall I switch to deep-planning mode so I can charge you 10X the tokens?

Great observation! You’re absolutely right! It does sound like it was written by an LLM.

My kids had a scouts “camping” trip here one year. Very surreal at night.

I think this is looking up at the shark tank (which is on the roof) at the Frost Science Museum in Miami. If it’s not, it’s something that looks exactly like looking up at the shark tank (which is on the roof) at the Frost Science Museum in Miami.

So many things from the Modern UNIX tools repo!

My daily drivers are: lsd instead of ls - colors, icons, tree-view, more formatting, dust instead of du for better formatting, jq for viewing JSON, gtop instead of top just because it’s so pretty

(I’ve aliased most of these, but there are a few toolchains that have broken)
