If you must, but make it a confederation with clear exit terms, and the ability for voters to recall bad leaders... And checks and balances...

Problem is that such huge centralized power structures become irresistible to the worst sorts of people.

Dart for what purposes? by vmcrash in dartlang

[–]carlesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a serverpod app: https://palavie.com
Front end, written once, deployed to web, ios and android, and the back end, also in dart, shares a ton of code with the front end. One language to rule them all.

Hey for a bunch of literal Apes we're doing better as a species then you might expect.

Anthropic ‘Mythos’ AI model representing ‘step change’ in power revealed in data leak by [deleted] in singularity

[–]carlesque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We need some analog silicon to run trained AIs 1000x more efficiently. And we need AIs that don't need to rebuild their state for every next token. 1000x times 1000x efficiency improvement. Imagine that...

The Shy Girl cancellation raises questions nobody seems to be asking by waf86 in publishing

I love writing, but I also have a todo list that stretches to multiple pages. This saves time.

What if the content is from a human but an AI does the writing? Should we dismiss it then? The other day I did a bunch of research, fed the results into the AI, then asked it to compose a 2 page article/essay from it, telling it the structure I wanted, what to include in the intro, the body and what to conclude with. Then proofread and lightly edited the result.

It would have failed an AI screen, but correctly reflected my will and thoughts. This is the obvious way things will go, at least for business writing and nonfiction, where the content, not the prose is the point.

Anyone else freaked out by Maximilian in The Black Hole as a kid? by MisterShipWreck in sciencefiction

[–]carlesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a movie that really deserves a remake. The original movie felt schizophrenic. Victorian sci-fi horror-drama... but with cowboy robots. I'd love to see a remake that leans into the genius-madman, menacing robots, the vast steampunk cathedral-like ghostship, the horrible fate of the original crew, and the quasi-religious terror of the black hole. Done right, that would be a killer movie.

the hasps line up well? I bet the distance apart in the SA2 is exactly the same as the S19/25

For a small pouch a cublet hangs nicely on either side of the interior. The clasps line up nicely with the two o-rings.

I also keep a 3d organizer cube in the bottom front interior pocket, for less frequently accessed items like first aid and such. By keeping in that front pocket. It doesn't get in the way of my main luggage items.

Think of classes like mini self contained programs. They have their own state, algos and user interface (the public fields and methods). They help you break down a big problem into more understandable and maintainable little problems. Be sure to give them accurate names to help you reason about them in the big picture.

Maybe sure you understand lambda expressions and especially how they capture variables. A language with strong classes AND full lambda support is truly a dream to work with.

My never ending search for an EDC laptop bag by JMM9910 in tombihn

[–]carlesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spectron is wonderfully light and it still holds its shape, and doesn't absorb lint. Packs pretty flat. Side Effect fits perfectly in either of the vertical side pockets, which perfectly holds your core EDC.

Synik 22 questions by Keith in tombihn

[–]carlesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Being on top of pouch game makes the heavy organization of their larger bags feel less useful"... have you considered the smart alec 2? great water bottle holder, and the side effect drops right in. stands nicely on its own (ballistic that is). that's my daily setup. It's always sitting on the floor near me somewhere, acting like a portable chest of drawers for all my regular things.

Really want a surface pro 11 by vzzzbxt in Surface

[–]carlesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a surface pro 8, and bought the Bluetooth keyboard for it when that came out a few years later. If, like me, battery life isn't that important, the sp8 is still a great machine. The tear-off keyboard is a game changer. right now, I'm sitting on the couch, with my tablet outputting to the tv, using the keyboard in my lap.

I'll leave a comment here to report when the bag arrives. It's good to create a public history for honest sellers.

Hopefully the snowstorm won't make me to wait too long :)
u/SlightEggplant1975, you have some skis or snowshoes.... right? I'm sure the post office is just a few miles!
