this sends a clear message though. No the old “just hook them, then we have guaranteed income forever” isn’t actually working. That’s great.

shoelaces can be a tangled mess yet not properly knotted

this is why I love it!

Entropy always increases.

There’s one way for a cable to be untangled, and an incalculable amount of ways for it to be tangled. When letting it randomly change state it is very improbable for it to randomly end up in the untangled state.

Same for shoelaces, there is but a few ways for the shoes to be properly knot, and a comparatively essentially infinite ways for them not to be.

I know it’s a joke, but I find this perspective fascinating.

but only if the platform is sufficiently large

hm, that sounds sensible actually

It’s a joke on fat Americans

…no?

I’m not a donut, I’m a coffee cup!

I’m pretty happy with my samsung. No really, hear me out, if power cuts out, when it resumes, the tv auto starts on the same input.

I have it connected to a pc, and use a smart plug for turning on and off. Haven’t seen a trace of the smarts for years :D

the idea is that to get to be the one spraying, you have to know first hand how much pain you are inflicting.

Google controls search results and has been caught meddling. Which negates the first two.

No it doesn’t negate the forst two. It only addresses the second, and bypassing the results completely, exascerbates the problem quite a bit.

Cry me a river.

great argument.

• It helps spread false information widely

• It puts a lot of control of information in a single companies hands

• It hurts the underlying sources

When google provides the info directly, and the first hand sources has become completely obsolete and shut down, what would new information stem from? It’s an inherently unstable and short sighted solution.

this is problematic on multiple levels.

ground water is a completely different beast. This device harvests moisture from the air.

It’s easy to crush the competition when you purposely take a loss as an investment in future market share.

Those are illegal in most places, just fyi

yes???

Wouldn’t that be somewhere along the lines of $1000 per person, if divided over every single person in the world?

Well, more along the lines of 10% of all the worlds money.

… very reasonable indeed 😜

Kagi has AI features, but I’ve only ever seen them in the settings. They have never once pushed me to use them. Which is good, as that would be pretty much a dealbreaker.
