Hey there decentralized digital currency systems, you wanna… centralize?

Fortunately, inflation kicked up and that’s only like ¥200.

Same here. I have and will always periodically reinstall no matter which OS I happen to be using. Arch is the only distro that keeps me coming back because installation and setup is such an active process. Every time around I learn something new and get more effecient at the process, which is so much more rewarding than filling a few boxes and waiting on a progress bar as is the case with most distros I have experienced.

Yah, I’m just saying I could see China twisting the word “originated” in this way.

I could see the US working on a manufactured virus or something similar. China steals the research, botches it, and accidentally releases it into the wild.

You seem to spend a lot of energy questioning people’s intentions, inventing reasons to question whether people’s intentions toward you are genuine. Some do deserve to be questioned, no doubt. It just seems draining, and for what goal?

Do you aim to be the sole determiner of truth? To never be duped again? To sharpen your skills as an investigator?

How much more creative energy could you put into the world by taking people at their word in all but the highest risk cases?

Yes, yes it is

Why respond at all if that were the case?

What weighs more: the cost of taking people at their word, or the effort it takes to interpret the subtext of every interaction?

What would Altman gain from overstating the environmental impact of his own company?

What if power consumption is not so much limited by the software’s appetite, but rather by the hardware’s capabilities?

What type of response do you hope to elicit by discounting everyone’s experience but your own and insulting the intelligence of those who engage with you?

Porque no nouveau?

Laugh tracks always make me feel like I’m being programmed.

These cultists are trying to ride the 80 year old wave created by the atom bomb.

All those times the kids at school called me butt-face… look who’s complimenting me now. Ha, suckers.

XOR cleartext once with a key you get ciphertext. XOR the ciphertext with the same key you get the original cleartext. At its core this is the way the old DES cipher works.

A bit of useful trivia: If you XOR any number with itself, you get all zeros. You can see this in practice when an assembly programmer XOR’s a register with itself to clear it out.

They don’t even need propaganda right now.

He wants hair trigger retaliation. His strategy consists of sucker punches, which is why he has to obfuscate his plans. When we deliberate, he loses ground.

What are some good documentaries?

Lists every documentary ever made

3 - 5 titles would be an appropriate number of documentaries to suggest here.
