Usually when you don’t have internet access, it’s because you don’t have any signal at all.

Experiment how? What on earth could this possibly be useful for?

I can’t believe I have to explain this. Anyway

The comparison to Alex Jones and other conspiracy nutjobs was about how they don’t care about any facts or context, and just like to string together random headlines into some doomsday narrative that supports their view.

The phrase “tankie infowars” means basically that - same methods, just different target audience. So you would switch around who the good guys and bad guys are, but not much else.

You don’t think coming to the conclusion “omg, this must be nuclear war preparations”, instead of this just being a regular target, is conspiracy level thinking?

It would fit right into Alex Jones’s show. And it’s the most upvoted comment here.

Is this a tinfoil conspiracy site? Tankie infowars?

And judging by the recent Claude Sonnet 3.5 results, OpenAI may not even be the top AI company anymore.

The ironic thing is that if it weren’t for free software, the entire AI industry would likely be a decade behind where it is today, if not more.

There used to be a “loophole”, where if you changed to a different plan, it restarted the 7 day period during which you could cancel with no fee. Not sure if they ever changed that though.

It was Medvedev who started talking shit about nukes more than a year ago (and a lot since then)

On the other hand, many parts of Android, including the default system WebView, are updated from the Play Store like regular apps, and don’t need a full OS update.

This is of course in addition to just taking all the training data without credit or permission by both teams, which usually goes without saying these days.

But the cloud thing and the container thing actually happened. Not 100%, but it is basically the standard these days.

Of the things you mentioned, only crypto is mostly bullshit tech with no actual use.

So are you or are you not implying that this would be quietly enabled without explicitly prompting the user?

Or you could just turn the feature off. Or just not enable it in the first place, as it’s possibly illegal to do this without showing an allow/disallow prompt at least - so just don’t click allow. Just saying.

I guess the ones they stopped just weren’t covert enough.

C is one of the few languages where using goto makes sense as a poor man’s local error/cleanup handler.

Trains are expensive to run if you don’t have enough passengers (like in small villages).

Kotlin is a really nice language with plenty of users, good tooling support, gets rid of a lot of the boilerplate that older languages have, and it instills many good practices early on (most variables are immutable unless specified otherwise, types are not nullable by default unless specified otherwise, etc)

But to get the most “bang for your buck” early on, you can’t beat JavaScript (with TypeScript to help you make sense of your codebase as it keeps changing and growing).

You will probably want to develop stuff that has some user interface and you’ll want to show it to people, and there is no better platform for that than the web. And JS is by far the most supported language on the web.

And the browser devtools are right there, an indispensable tool.

Peace treaty signed, then Russia invades 2 years later anyway and takes over everything?

If users have the “I can always upgrade later” option, that screws with the purchases of the higher end models “just in case I need it in the future”.
